What is Retouch
Overview
Retouch is a subscription-based photo-editing service that removes objects, blemishes and imperfections from images using professional edits and automated tools.
It is offered through mobile apps and web platforms and uses recurring subscriptions for access to premium features.
Service scope
Features include object removal, skin and face retouching, background edits and other photo enhancements available under different subscription plans.
Access and purchase flows differ by platform (App Store, Google Play, web), so cancellation and refund rules depend on where you subscribed.
How to cancel Retouch
iOS (App Store) cancellation
- Open Settings on your iPhone and tap your Apple ID name.
- Tap Subscriptions, find the Retouch subscription and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Note: cancelling stops future renewals but your subscription remains active until the end of the billing period. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
- See the official instructions: How to cancel a subscription (Retouch).
Android (Google Play) cancellation
- Open the Google Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select the Retouch subscription and tap Cancel subscription.
- Your subscription stays active until the current billing period ends; follow Google Play’s flow to confirm cancellation.
- See the official instructions: How to cancel a subscription (Retouch).
Web and other platforms
- If you subscribed on the Retouch website or another platform, cancel via your account settings on that platform or follow the provider’s cancellation page.
- Cancellation on web/other platforms stops future renewals but typically does not refund the current paid period unless explicitly stated.
- Refer to the provider’s terms of service for platform-specific instructions and restrictions.
What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
After cancelling, your paid subscription usually remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.
Automatic renewals will stop at the next renewal date; you will not be charged further unless you re-subscribe.
Data and account
Your account and any content you created typically remain available for login, but some premium features will be disabled after the subscription expires.
Retention of edited images, account settings and backups depends on the provider’s data policies and terms of use.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Retouch’s stated policy is that refunds are not provided once a subscription period has begun. See the developer terms: Retouch terms.
That rule means cancelling mid-period usually stops future charges but does not automatically return the current period’s payment.
Exceptions and app-store refunds
- Some product-specific exceptions exist: RetouchMe Pro may offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee in limited circumstances (e.g., unsatisfactory edits or duplicate orders reported before processing). See details: RetouchMe Pro refund policy.
- If you purchased via the App Store or Google Play you must follow their refund procedures; the developer cannot directly process store refunds. See: RetouchMe terms.
- App-store refunds are subject to Apple’s and Google’s review and are not guaranteed.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Key protections
South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which guarantees fair value, quality and reasonable contract terms for goods and services.
Digital services and apps are covered by the CPA, but platform-specific rules (Apple/Google) can affect how cancellations and refunds are processed.
Remedies and enforcement
- If advertised guarantees or refund terms are misleading, you can lodge complaints with the National Consumer Commission or pursue remedies in local consumer courts.
- For App Store or Google Play purchases, follow the store’s refund procedure first; developer terms cannot override statutory consumer rights under the CPA.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users describe Retouch or related Retouch-app services as a useful quick adjuster for urgent edits and basic corrections.
These positive mentions are less frequent but indicate occasional satisfaction with the service quality.
Negative feedback
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Proof of purchase (App Store/Google Play receipt or web payment confirmation).
- Account email, username and subscription start date.
- Order IDs for disputed edits or duplicate orders, plus timestamps and screenshots.
How to submit evidence
- Use the app’s support channel or the email/contact form listed in the app or website terms.
- If you purchased through a store, keep the store receipt and follow the store refund workflow when requesting a refund.
Common mistakes
Cancellation mistakes
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription is a common error; the subscription remains active and will continue to renew until cancelled in the App Store/Google Play or on the platform used to subscribe.
Always cancel via the original purchase channel, not only from within the app.
Refund claim mistakes
Assuming immediate refunds after cancellation is another frequent mistake; refunds are governed by the provider’s terms and the platform’s refund policy and are not automatic.
Also, missing or incomplete purchase receipts slows or prevents refund consideration - keep receipts and order details ready.

Cancel via the original purchase channel, keep receipts, and expect access until the period ends; refunds are limited and platform-dependent.
If advertised guarantees are not honoured, use South African consumer remedies as appropriate.
