Cancellation Real Simple: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Real Simple
Overview
Real Simple is a lifestyle magazine and digital app offering articles on home, health, food, and organisation. It provides full magazine issues via app stores and the publisher's subscriber portal.
Subscription model
Subscriptions are typically sold through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly via the publisher's subscriber services. Most digital purchases auto-renew until cancelled.
How to cancel Real Simple
Cancel on iOS (App Store)
- Open iOS Settings and tap your Apple ID at the top.
- Choose Subscriptions, find Real Simple and turn off Auto-Renew at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- Access remains until the prepaid period finishes.
Cancel on Android (Google Play)
- Open the Google Play app or visit play.google.com and sign in to the account used to subscribe.
- Go to Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → select Real Simple → Cancel.
- Note: uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription.
Cancel via Real Simple website or customer service
- Use the Real Simple subscriber services portal or contact customer service to request cancellation.
- You can call 1-800-881-1172 or email rspcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com to ask them to stop renewals.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancelling prevents future renewals but generally leaves access active until the end of the paid subscription period. You keep content for the time you already paid.
Account and data
Cancellation normally does not delete your account or reading history. Contact customer service if you want account removal or data queries.
Will I get a refund?
Standard policy
There is no guaranteed automatic 14-day refund right for digital magazine subscriptions in most cases. Refunds are treated as exceptions and evaluated case-by-case.
How to request a refund
- If you believe you were wrongly charged, request a refund from the platform used (Apple or Google) or contact Real Simple customer service directly.
- Refunds are not assured; each request is assessed on its own merits.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and refunds
South African law does not generally provide a statutory 14-day cooling-off right for digital magazine subscriptions unless the vendor offers one. Check the vendor terms for any voluntary policy.
Dispute options
- If charges continue after cancellation, contact the platform (Apple/Google) or your payment provider to dispute the charge.
- You may also seek resolution through the publisher's customer service before escalating the matter to your bank or a consumer agency.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users report the Real Simple app is user-friendly and stable on iOS devices. Positive reviews note time-saving layout and ease of reading.
Common complaints

- Aggregated data indicates a portion of customer service issues remain unresolved, especially around activation, cancellation, delivery, refunds, and billing. See customer reports: PissedConsumer - Real Simple.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before contacting support
- Proof of purchase (receipt or transaction from Apple/Google or bank statement).
- Account email or Apple/Google account ID used to subscribe.
- Dates of charge(s) and a short description of the problem.
Additional helpful items

Common mistakes
Uninstalling the app instead of cancelling
Many subscribers assume deleting the app cancels the subscription. It does not. Always cancel via the App Store, Google Play, or the publisher.
Waiting until the last minute
Waiting until the renewal day can cause issues. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal for App Store subscriptions to avoid being charged.
