Why was I not granted a refund. A free trail was offered and immediately after the free trail. The subscription was automatically done. I cancelled immediately and request a refund. But apple I wasn’t eligible for a refund. I cancellef

Thanks for the additional information, velecia208. I looked up both apps on my iPhone. And just in case it makes a difference, I am in the US. But here is what I found:

• Flo - The description in the App Store does state that a subscription must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the end date. That is probably why Apple did not offer a refund because you cancelled after the end date. Immediately after, but still after.
• As for Linkin - that app offers in-app purchases and also a premium plan. Both will cost you. But as long as you did not activate Premium or make any in app purchases, I do not see a free trial (or cost afterwards) for the regular version of that app.

I am just another Apple user. Unfortunately, that's all I can offer. I'm sorry this happened to you but happy you cancelled both to avoid any future costs. In case it helps in the future, here is a trick I learned (may I say the hard way) to avoid paying for free trials. Once I activate a free trial, I immediately create a calendar event for two days before the expiration date. I set an alert so my iPhone will actually send me a notification. That gives me enough time to decide if I want to keep it or not. If not, I cancel the subscription.

I'm not sure about your specific app, but with most free trials I've tried, you have to cancel before the free trial ends. Otherwise you are agreeing to pay the fee. Which app are you asking about?
