I didn't ask for Plant Identifier and I want a refund.

I got the 30 days free but I was not notified that I would be charged for the item the next month and it appeared on my Credit Card. This is so wrong for them to just charge me without asking for permission and then didn't even send me a receipt.

iPad Air, iOS 12

First confirm you have canceled any subscription automatic renewal (if you simply delete an app this does not cancel subscriptions):


Review the information in this support article by clicking on the link to learn how to cancel a subscription from Apple. ➔ If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

• "If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends."

• An existing subscription will normally continue until the end of its term and may then renew automatically. Stopping automatic renewal is effectively canceling it. "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." The "Expires" date means the current subscription will just run until then.

• Read the article to see what to do about subscriptions that do not appear in your list. If you still can't find a subscription, contact Apple Support using the link at the end of the support article.

• Canceling a subscription does not automatically start a refund.

I had the same problem- Plant Identifier took money from my credit card I was not notified, I am not trying to get a refund. This is so wrong, companies should notify you and give you a choice to accept or decline. I spoke to Apple and they said it could take 30 days to get a refund. This is a scam, they are earning interest off my money and I don’t know if I will ever get the money back.
