How to Cancel Vocabulary - Learn words daily

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Open Subscriptions in iPhone Settings

   Monkey Taps sells Premium only through the App Store and Google Play, and its help centre says iPhone subscribers cancel in their Apple ID settings. Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, then tap Vocabulary - Learn words daily. On a computer, sign in at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions instead. If Vocabulary isn't in the list, use the optional steps below.

2. 2

   Tap Cancel Subscription

   Apple's Edit Subscription screen shows Vocabulary - Learn words daily, your Vocabulary Premium plan and when it renews. The red button sits under the plan card. During the free trial it reads Cancel Free Trial, otherwise Cancel Subscription, and you may need to scroll down to see it. See All Plans only switches you to a different plan, so it won't stop the renewal.

   

3. 3

   Tap Confirm on the Confirm Cancellation screen

   Apple shows a Confirm Cancellation screen with the date your service ends. Tap Confirm. Not Now leaves the subscription running. Do this at least 24 hours before the renewal date: Monkey Taps' terms say the next charge is taken up to 24 hours before a new billing period starts.

   

4. 4

   Check that the renewal is off

   Apple's test for a finished cancellation is an expiration message in red text and no Cancel button on the Vocabulary screen. After you confirm, the plan card reads "You have cancelled your subscription." in red with the end date under it, and a Renew button takes the place of the cancel button. Don't tap Renew unless you want Premium back. Monkey Taps' help centre adds that if no subscription shows at all, you aren't currently subscribed on that Apple Account. Premium keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, then the app switches to the free version.

   If Vocabulary isn't in your Subscriptions list

   Search your email for "receipt from Apple" and check which Apple Account paid. If you bought the Self Growth Essentials bundle, one subscription that covers Vocabulary and five other Monkey Taps apps, your Subscriptions list shows the bundle instead, and cancelling it ends Premium in all six apps. One bundle buyer said in an App Store review that the email receipt named a different Monkey Taps app. If a family organizer pays, Apple says you can't cancel a family member's subscription, so they have to do it. If you subscribed on Android, use the next step.

   If you subscribed on Android through Google Play

   Open the Play Store and make sure you're signed in to the Google Account that pays. Tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Select Vocabulary and tap Cancel subscription. Google says you keep access for the time you already paid for, and that uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.

   If you start from Vocabulary's own Manage subscription screen

   The app has its own Manage subscription screen. It lists the plan under "You are subscribed to:" with its Started and Renewal dates, says that if you cancel "you can keep using the subscription until the next billing date", and has a Cancel or change subscription button at the bottom. Tapping it doesn't cancel anything by itself. The cancel still happens at Apple, as the next step shows.

   

8. 8
   If this applies to you

   Tap Cancel subscription in the "Are you sure?" dialog

   The button opens an "Are you sure?" dialog warning that "All your Premium settings will be reset and you will lose access to all the Premium content". Keep subscription is the large highlighted button and Cancel subscription a plain text link under it. The text link hands off to Apple's Edit Subscription screen, where Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription and then Confirm finish the job, as in the main steps above.

   Heads up: Keep subscription is styled as the default choice, and tapping it leaves renewal on. Tap the smaller Cancel subscription link, or skip the in-app screen and go straight to Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

   Don't delete the app or your account to stop the bill

   Monkey Taps' terms say subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and Google says uninstalling does not cancel. Deleting costs you data too: the help centre says deleting the app without an account deletes your favorites and collections for good, and Delete account in the app's settings permanently removes your favorites, collections and your own content. Cancel the subscription first. If you bought Lifetime, there is nothing to cancel, because it is charged once.
