Cancellation Cookidoo: Easy Method
What is Cookidoo
Overview
Cookidoo is the official subscription recipe platform for Thermomix users, providing access to a large library of guided recipes, meal planning and related tools.
The service links with Thermomix devices for guided cooking and is available via the Cookidoo website and mobile apps.
Core features
Cookidoo offers searchable recipes, collections, guided cooking steps and tools such as planning and shopping lists (availability varies by region and app version).
Access requires an active subscription for full features; limited trials are sometimes offered.
How to cancel Cookidoo
Cancel an annual subscription on the web
- Sign in at Cookidoo on the web.
- Go to Account → Membership and click "Cancel Membership" to stop auto-renewal.
- Your access remains until the end of the current paid term; there is no refund for unused time after canceling mid-term.
Cancel trials and in-app purchases
- 30-day and 3-month trials end automatically - you do not need to cancel them. For details see the official help page: Cookidoo subscription help.
- In-app purchases on iOS are managed through Apple's App Store; cancellations and refund requests for in-app subscriptions are handled by Apple. See: Cookidoo / Cook-key in-app guidance.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel an annual Cookidoo subscription via the web, auto-renewal is stopped but you keep full access until the paid term ends.
Trials that end automatically simply expire; you lose access to subscriber-only features when the trial ends if you do not subscribe.
Account and data
Your Cookidoo account and saved items remain associated with your account unless you delete the account separately.
Canceling stops billing; it does not necessarily remove saved recipes or account data - contact support if you need account deletion.
Will I get a refund?
Right of withdrawal (initial annual purchase)
You may withdraw from an initial annual subscription and receive a full refund if you exercise that right within 14 days of the initial purchase.
To request withdrawal within 14 days, send an email from the email address registered to your Cookidoo account as described in the official help: Cookidoo subscription help.
No mid-term refunds
- There are no refunds for canceling an annual subscription mid-term; canceling stops future auto-renewal only.
- In-app purchase refunds are governed by the platform (Apple App Store / Google Play) and their policies.

Withdrawal and refunds

Auto-renewal and notices
- Automatic renewals are used for subscriptions; you should receive an email reminder before renewal.
- To avoid renewals you must cancel prior to the renewal date via Account → Membership on the Cookidoo website or through your app store subscription settings for in-app purchases.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users value Cookidoo for its extensive recipe library (100k+ recipes) and the guided cooking experience when used with a Thermomix device.
Users appreciate organized collections and inspiration for meal planning.
Common complaints
- Search and filtering limitations, lack of full-text search and language de-duplication.
- No built-in recipe translation and occasional app instability after updates.
- Reports of difficult-to-manage auto-renewals and occasional billing issues.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Cookidoo account email address (registered email).
- Order or subscription confirmation (receipt) and date of purchase.
- Proof of payment (bank or card statement) for the charge in question.
- Screenshots of your subscription page, membership screen, or any error messages.
Where to send information
For web subscription issues and withdrawal requests, use the official Cookidoo support guidance: Cookidoo subscription help.
For in-app (iOS) purchase problems, contact the App Store / Apple support as advised in the platform guidance: Cookidoo / Cook-key in-app guidance.
Common mistakes
Cancelling the wrong place
Users often cancel via the mobile app but forget that web subscriptions must be canceled on the Cookidoo website, or vice versa for in-app purchases.
Always check whether the subscription was purchased through the Cookidoo website or through an app store before canceling.
Missing the 14‑day withdrawal window
Attempting to claim the initial-term refund after 14 days typically fails; act promptly and use the registered email when contacting support.
Assuming a mid-term refund is available is another frequent mistake - mid-term refunds are not provided.
