cancel auto-renewal for "Martha Stewart Living"?

The App Store now allows publishers to offer subscriptions to their magazines, newspapers, and other content. Titles like The Daily, Elle, and Popular Science are already offering subscriptions, and more publishers are sure to follow soon.

Generally, subscription plans should prove a cost-effective option for users as opposed to buying individual issues of newspaper and magazine titles. A couple important points to note on how App Store subscriptions work are that they are set by default to auto-renew, and that you can choose to turn the auto-renew off. It’s easy if you know where to go. Hit the break for a quick rundown of how to manage your subscriptions on the iPad …

Here’s how to manage your newspaper and magazine subscriptions on the iPad:

– Go to the App Store

– Tap on the Featured section and scroll down to the very bottom of the page

– Tap on your account name at the bottom left and choose ‘View Account’ from the choices on the popover that appears. You’ll need to enter your account password at this stage.

– On the Account screen, scroll a little ways down to the Subscriptions section and tap on the ‘Manage App Subscriptions’ bar.

Thanks, but ...

On my iPad: I am trying to turn off auto-renew for The Guardian. I followed your instructions, but when I selected my Apple ID at the bottom of the screen, "My Account" was not listed in the pop-up box. The only options I got were View Apple ID, Sign Out, iForgot, and Cancel. I selected View Apple ID, but that just took me back to the bottom of the screen where I had selected my Apple ID to get the pop-up box.

Has anyone had success at turning of an auto-renew for a subscription? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance.

Have you had any luck? I am having the same problem exactly. I just paid another 1.99 for a magazine that I don't really want...
