What is Meal Mentor
Overview
Meal Mentor is a subscription-based meal-planning service that provides personalised meal plans, recipes and grocery lists tailored to dietary preferences. It is offered via mobile apps and the Meal Mentor website.
The service runs on recurring subscriptions and offers free and paid tiers; billing and cancellation terms are set out in Meal Mentor's membership and subscription terms.
Core features
Meal plans, recipe collections and automated grocery lists designed to save time and support healthier eating. Plans are adjustable to preferences and allergies.
Subscriptions can be managed through the platform you used to subscribe: Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly on the Meal Mentor website.
How to cancel Meal Mentor
Cancel on iOS (App Store)
- Open Settings on your iPhone/iPad and tap your name, then Subscriptions.

- Note: deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. See the official terms: Meal Mentor subscription terms.
Cancel on Android (Google Play) and Web
- Google Play: Open the Google Play Store, go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, select Meal Mentor and turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before renewal.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, you generally keep access to paid features until the end of your current billing period or free trial. The subscription will not renew after that date.
Billing and renewal
Auto-renewal is disabled when you cancel. You will not be billed for future periods once cancellation completes before the renewal cutoff (usually 24 hours).
Data and account
Cancellation typically does not delete your account data immediately. Meal Mentor's terms outline account and data retention - contact support if you need complete deletion.
Will I get a refund?

Meal Mentor offers a "Money-Back Guarantee" for web purchases: you must contact support within 30 days of purchase and before the end of your subscription period to request a refund.
Refund eligibility may require meeting program usage requirements described in the terms: see subscription terms.
Cooling-off period and app store refunds
- Cooling-off: Users generally have a 14-day right to cancel from purchase for digital content, unless they consented to immediate delivery; Meal Mentor's policy reflects this. See refund policy.

Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users commonly cite convenience, time savings and useful recipe variety in testimonials and app reviews. See customer testimonials on the official site: testimonials.
Critical feedback and issues
There are some reported complaints online about cancellation confusion and refund difficulties; if you experience problems, keep evidence and escalate with your payment provider if necessary.
When assessing reviews, compare official testimonials and independent app feedback such as listings on third-party app review sites like JustUseApp: Meal Mentor reviews.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you contact support
- Order confirmation or receipt showing purchase date and plan.
- Subscription screenshots (App Store/Google Play/Web) showing active subscription and cancellation setting.
- Proof of cancellation attempts (emails, screenshots of disabled auto-renewal).
Other helpful items

Common mistakes
Deleting the app
Deleting or uninstalling the Meal Mentor app does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel via the store or web subscription settings as appropriate.
Timing and wrong platform
Cancelling less than 24 hours before renewal can result in an unwanted charge. Also, cancelling in the wrong place (e.g., contacting web support for an App Store subscription) may not stop automatic billing.
