Unjust Charges for Bold Voice App Subscription – Request for Resolution

On October 3rd, I installed the Bold Voice app and started a 7-day free trial. After two days of use, I decided to cancel the subscription due to the high cost ($149.99/year). While canceling, the app offered a discounted rate of $99.99/year, which I accepted and paid for via their website. I verified that my subscription was valid until 2025 and that it no longer appeared under my Apple Subscriptions.


However, on October 10th, Apple charged me $149.99 for a year-long subscription. To make matters worse, I also received an email stating my subscription would be suspended after one year. I contacted Bold Voice support and was informed I now had two subscriptions: one for $99.99 through their website and another for $149.99 through Apple, which I never intended to activate.


Following Bold Voice's advice, I requested a refund from Apple, providing evidence of the duplicate subscription and the $99.99 payment. However, Apple denied my request, stating that it

We reviewed your claim and your purchase doesn’t meet conditions for a refund. This decision is final.

I am now stuck having paid a total of $250 for a subscription I only wanted for $99.99.

This situation is unfair. I made it clear that the $149.99 price was too expensive for me, and yet I’ve ended up paying much more. I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this and recover my money. How can I get justice in this situation?


Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything anyone here can do to help you. Everyone here are users, as you are.


As Apple's answer stated, the decision is final.


Blame this on the developer. You needed to cancel the 7-day trial subscription 24 hours prior to the trial ending to prevent it from automatically converting to a paid subscription. The developer confused you by offering the $99 annual subscription without explaining that you needed to cancel the Apple subscription. The developer has made money off of you twice! You paid them $99 directly, and Apple will pay them 70% of the $149 that it collected.
