Unable to cancel subscription in App Store

I recently purchased an app called pencil sort. It’s 11.99! There was no price quote when out and now I can’t find it anywhere to cancel it. Can you please help?!

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 subscribed to this in the EU from a third party, see: About purchases not billed through the App Store or the App Store’s In-App Purchase system - Apple Support instead.


Notes:

• "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." Note that by using an app like this you are automatically agreeing to this happening, are responsible for reading if this will happen, and canceling the subscription before the trial ends.

• Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription.

• 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. Note special conditions for some countries: About canceling subscriptions in Germany, Israel, South Africa, or Türkiye - Apple Support

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.

Hi EsperanzaII

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!


Re: "Cancel Subscription I can’t find! I recently purchased an app called pencil sort. It’s 11.99!

Some apps are free to download, but have in-app purchases available. (Their listing in the app store usually mentions whether or not there are in-app purchases, so you can choose whether to download the app or not.)


Apple support have a video online that may be helpful, in finding the subscription:

Else, if needed, see the articles (links below) with more detailed info:

What to do: If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

and / or

This may or may not be the App (is from the App Store):

Re: "There was no price quote"

If you wish: you can report to Apple about the app,

and / or .... ask for a refund, which they may or may not approve.


To report a concern about an app, you must provide the URL of the app.

If the money has been deducted (not pending):

All the best :-)
