Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I cancel my subscription early?

Refund policies depend on where you purchased your subscription. If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, their respective refund policies apply and you must contact their support. For subscriptions purchased on the Simple website, refunds are generally non-refundable and considered on a case-by-case basis.

What happens to my account after I cancel the Simple subscription?

You will retain access to premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. After that, your account may revert to a free version, and you will lose access to premium content and features.

Will I lose all my diet progress and data if I cancel?

Your progress and data are typically tied to your account, not your active subscription. You will likely still be able to access your past tracking and information, even if you revert to a free plan. However, you will not be able to use premium tracking features or tools.

I can't see my subscription in the app. What should I do?

If your subscription isn't visible in the Simple app or your app store account, it may be linked to a different email address or Apple/Google ID. Try logging in with other accounts or visit the Simple help center for instructions on locating your subscription.

How do I avoid getting charged for the next billing cycle?

To avoid being charged again, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the next scheduled renewal date. It's best to cancel as soon as you decide to stop the service to prevent issues.

Can I cancel my subscription on one device if I signed up on another?

Yes, you can cancel from any device, but you must do so through the specific platform where you were originally billed. For example, if you signed up on an iPhone, you must use your Apple ID settings to cancel, even if you are now using an Android device.

Is there a free trial cancellation process?

The cancellation process for a free trial is the same as for a paid subscription. You must cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being automatically charged for the first billing cycle.
