Cancel Lightleap: Easy Method
What is Lightleap
Overview
Lightleap is a mobile photo-editing app by Lightricks that offers free features and premium subscription plans for advanced editing tools and assets.
Where it is sold
The app is distributed on the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android) and direct web subscriptions via the Lightleap website.
How to cancel Lightleap
Cancel via App Store (iOS)
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
- Select Lightleap from the list, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- Note: Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
- See Lightricks help: How do I cancel a subscription or free trial?
Cancel via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device.
- Tap Menu (three lines) then Subscriptions.
- Select Lightleap and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Cancellations are managed by Google Play for purchases made there.
- See Lightricks help: How do I cancel a subscription or free trial?
Cancel web purchases (Lightleap website)
- Log into your Lightleap account on the web.
- Go to Manage Subscription in your account settings.
- Click "Cancel subscription" to stop renewal at the end of the billing cycle.
- Lightleap states this cancels at the end of the current billing period and you retain access until then.
- Refund and cancellation details: Lightleap refund policy
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel a web subscription, access continues until the end of the paid billing cycle.
For store-based subscriptions (App Store/Google Play), access terms depend on the store and the remaining paid period.
Billing and renewal
Cancellation stops future automatic renewals but does not usually produce an immediate refund unless eligible under policy.
Deleting the app does not stop billing; you must cancel via the App Store, Google Play, or your web account.
Will I get a refund?
Web (website) purchases
- Lightleap offers a 14-day cooling-off (withdrawal) period for web purchases from the first purchase.
- You can cancel for any reason within 14 days and receive a full refund if you contact support during that period.
- Refunds are processed within 14 business days per Lightleap policy.
- Source: refund policy
After cooling-off expires and in-app purchases
- After the 14-day period, Lightleap states there are no partial or full refunds for early cancellation of web subscriptions; cancellation only stops renewal.
- In-app content purchases are final and non-refundable; the right of withdrawal does not apply to such content.
- App Store and Google Play refunds are handled by Apple and Google respectively via their refund systems.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Legal protections
Under New Zealand consumer law, digital services must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose, for example under the Consumer Guarantees Act where applicable.
Cooling-off and platform rules
There is no statutory NZ cooling-off period for digital subscriptions; Lightleap’s 14-day web cooling-off policy is a stronger protection than required by NZ law.
Purchases made through App Store or Google Play follow those platforms' refund and cancellation policies rather than Lightleap’s web policy.
Unauthorized charges and disputes
Consumers in New Zealand can still contact their bank to dispute unauthorized charges under local payment protection frameworks.
If charges appear without consent, contact your payment provider and the relevant app store as well as Lightleap support for records.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Many users report Lightleap support can be responsive and assist with cancellation or refund issues when contacted.
Some support interactions include live-chat style help and guided steps to resolve billing queries.
Negative reports
Recurring complaints include being charged unexpectedly, difficulty finding where to cancel, and continued charges after users deleted the app.
Deleting the app is frequently reported as ineffective for stopping subscriptions; users must cancel via App Store, Google Play, or web account.
Where feedback appears
User reviews and reports appear on app stores, complaint aggregators and third-party contact sites documenting diverse experiences.
See example aggregator: appcontacter - Lightleap
Documentation checklist
Proof of purchase
- Receipt or order confirmation email (App Store, Google Play or web).
- Transaction date and amount displayed on the receipt.
Account and billing details
- Apple ID or Google account used for the purchase, or Lightleap web account email.
- Subscription ID or plan name where available.
Support evidence
- Screenshots of subscriptions page, billing statements, and any error messages.
- Records of prior support contact or chat transcripts if available.
Common mistakes
Assuming deleting the app cancels the subscription
Many users delete the Lightleap app thinking this stops billing. That does not cancel subscriptions.
You must cancel through the App Store, Google Play, or via your web account to stop renewals.
Expecting automatic refunds after cancelling
Canceling a subscription usually stops future billing but does not guarantee a refund of the current period.
Refund eligibility depends on the purchase method and timing (e.g., 14-day web cooling-off window for web purchases).
Not checking which store was used
If you purchased via Apple or Google, those platforms control refunds and cancellations and you must use their systems.
Contacting Lightleap directly may be needed for web purchases but will not override app store decisions.
