Cancellation The Week: Easy Method

What is The Week

Overview

The Week is a weekly news magazine that distils global news and current events into concise summaries and commentary.

It aims to provide balanced perspectives across politics, culture, business and more for readers who want a quick, curated briefing.

Formats

The Week is available as print editions, web subscriptions and digital app purchases (iOS / Android).

Digital purchases may be handled through the App Store or Google Play, while print/web subscriptions are managed via the publisher's site.

How to cancel The Week

Cancel on iPhone (App Store)

• Open iPhone Settings.
• Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
• Find The Week and turn off Auto-Renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• Cancelling stops future charges but you keep access until the period ends; no refund for the active period.

Cancel on Android (Google Play) and Web/Print

• Google Play: Open Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → select The Week → Cancel. Cancellation stops renewal; refunds depend on Google Play or publisher timing.
• Web / Print: Log into your account on The Week website or contact customer service directly to cancel future delivery.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

For App Store and Google Play subscriptions, cancellation prevents renewal but you retain access until the current paid period ends.

For web or print subscriptions, cancellation stops future deliveries; access to digital content depends on account entitlement rules.

Renewal and data

Auto-renewing subscriptions will not renew after cancellation; you must manage renewals in the platform where you subscribed.

The publisher may retain account and billing data as described in its subscription and privacy terms.

Will I get a refund?

General policy

Digital subscriptions bought through the App Store or Google Play generally do not receive refunds for the active subscription period; cancellation only stops future renewals.

Refunds for app purchases follow the App Store or Google Play refund procedures and timing, not a publisher-wide automatic refund.

Print / Web exceptions

• If you cancel a print/web subscription within 30 days and issues remain unmailed, you may be eligible for a full refund for unmailed issues.
• There is no evidence of a 14-day no-questions-asked statutory cancellation period from the publisher; refunds are tied to unmailed print issues within 30 days.

Your consumer rights in Singapore

Statutory rights

Consumers in Singapore retain any statutory rights under local legislation when buying subscriptions or digital goods.

The Week's published policies do not explicitly reference Singapore statutory consumer protections.

Practical guidance

• For app purchases, you may need to use App Store or Google Play refund channels that operate in your region.
• For print/web issues, rely on the publisher's refund policy for unmailed issues within 30 days.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Many readers praise concise, balanced summaries and the magazine's editorial format.
• The app and content are valued for delivering useful, curated news coverage.

Negative feedback

• Frequent complaints concern erratic print delivery: missed or delayed issues and damaged envelopes.
• Digital issues reported include app crashes, login failures, missing access and inconsistent customer support.
• Customer service is often described as slow or hard-to-reach, with billing and auto-renew confusion in some complaints.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Subscription purchase confirmation (receipt or App Store / Google Play email).
• Account email and username used for The Week (web or app).

If you need a refund or dispute

• Proof of cancellation date and any correspondence with customer service.
• Delivery records or evidence of unmailed print issues (for web/print refunds within 30 days).

Common mistakes

Canceling the wrong place

Many subscribers try to cancel on the publisher site when the subscription was bought via the App Store or Google Play.

Always cancel through the platform where you made the purchase to stop auto-renewal.

Missing timing rules

Another common error is missing the timing requirement - for iOS turn off Auto-Renew at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid a renewal.

For print/web refunds, not checking the 30-day unmailed-issues condition can lead to denied refund requests.
