Cancel Locatemate: Easy Method

What is Locatemate

Overview

Locatemate is a location-sharing and tracking service that operates via mobile apps and a web portal. It aims to let users locate devices or people, manage subscriptions, and view location histories.

How it is provided

The service is offered through app distribution platforms (Apple App Store and Google Play) and a web account portal. Public details on pricing and full terms for New Zealand are limited.

How to cancel Locatemate

Cancelling via App Store or Google Play

• Open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android).
• Go to your account > Subscriptions (Apple) or Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions (Google Play).
• Find the Locatemate subscription and choose "Cancel subscription".
• Note: cancellation usually takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Cancelling via the Locatemate website

• Log in to your Locatemate account on the web portal.
• Find subscription or billing settings and choose the option to cancel your subscription.
• Cancellation normally remains active until the end of the current billing cycle; refunds are not typically provided.

If you cannot cancel online

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, access typically continues until the end of your paid billing period. You should still be able to use features until that time.

Subscription renewal

Auto-renewal is typically stopped on cancellation. If renewal occurs after you cancelled, retain proof of cancellation and contact support or your card issuer.

Data and account retention

Locatemate may retain your account information and location data per its privacy policy. If you want data removed, request deletion by emailing support.

Will I get a refund?

Typical refund policy

Publicly available information indicates refunds are not automatically provided for unused time after cancellation.

Exceptions and reported outcomes

Some users have reported full refunds processed quickly in individual cases. For example, one user reported receiving a refund within a day despite a stated 10 - 14 day processing expectation.

How to request a refund

• Contact support at [email protected] with your account details and reason for the refund request.
• If you were charged via Apple or Google, you may need to request a refund through the relevant app store in addition to contacting Locatemate.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Key laws

Consumers in New Zealand are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986. These laws cannot be contracted out of by suppliers.

Relevant remedies

• If a service is misleading, defective, or not as described, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund, or compensation under NZ law.
• Unauthorized or deceptive charges may also give rise to remedies under the Fair Trading Act.

Next steps if you believe your rights are breached

• Contact Locatemate support with clear details and a refund request.
• If unresolved, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and consider filing a complaint with consumer protection authorities.
• For general guidance see Consumer Protection (NZ) and Commerce Commission.

Customer experiences

Positive reports

• Some users reported quick refunds and satisfactory product performance in online reviews.
• One reviewer praised a full refund processed within a day, indicating individual cases may be resolved quickly.

Negative reports

• Multiple reviews complain about difficulties cancelling, unresponsive support, and unexpected renewals.
• Several users reported unauthorized or large follow-up charges after a small initial trial charge.

Balance and takeaway

Experiences vary: while some customers received quick help, a number of complaints highlight recurring billing and support responsiveness as common issues.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Take screenshots of subscription pages, trial confirmations, and renewal notices.
• Record the exact date and time you cancel and the platform used (App Store, Google Play, or web).

If you need to dispute charges

• Keep bank or card statements showing the charge(s).
• Save all emails to/from support and any in-app messages or receipts.

Common mistakes

Assuming cancellation is immediate

Many users expect instant termination but subscriptions usually remain active until the end of the paid period.

Always check the subscription end date after cancelling to avoid surprise renewals.

Only deleting the app

Deleting the Locatemate app does not cancel an auto-renewing subscription. You must cancel through the app store or web account.

Confirm cancellation through the subscription settings and keep evidence.
