If you signed up for Simple Premium and want to stop the recurring charges, you can cancel at any time for most plans.
Simple is a weight loss and health coaching app focused on intermittent fasting, meal tracking, and personalized insights. Premium unlocks extra features beyond the free version.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn them off. The exact steps depend on whether you bought through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Simple website (simple.life).
Deleting the app alone does not cancel billing. This guide walks you through each method, what happens after cancellation, refund options, and how to handle commitment plans.
What Is Simple Premium and How Billing Works
Simple offers tools for intermittent fasting schedules, food logging, progress tracking, and coaching content. Free users get basic access. Premium adds advanced features, personalized plans, and extra support.
Plans can be monthly, multi-month, or commitment subscriptions (such as 3-month or longer terms at a discounted rate).
Charges appear under Simple, Simple.life, Apple, or Google depending on the purchase channel. Auto-renewal continues until canceled. Access to Premium features usually lasts until the end of the paid period after you cancel.
Check your bank or card statement and email receipts to confirm how you subscribed. That determines the correct cancellation path.
How to Cancel Through the Apple App Store (iPhone or iPad)
If your receipt or statement shows Apple billing, cancel in your device settings.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Simple in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
You may need to scroll to see the cancel button. If it is missing or a red expiration date appears, the subscription is already canceled. Premium access continues until the current period ends. You can also start from the App Store profile icon and go to Subscriptions.
How to Cancel Through Google Play (Android)
Google Play subscriptions must be canceled in the Play Store or through the app link.
From the Google Play Store app
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Tap your profile picture in the top right.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Select Simple.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
From inside the Simple app
- Open Simple and tap the profile icon (usually top right).
- Scroll and tap Manage subscription, then tap it again.
- This opens your Play Store subscriptions. Select Simple and cancel.
Confirm the cancellation on screen. Access continues until the billing period ends. Uninstalling the app does not stop charges.
How to Cancel a Website Subscription
If you entered payment details on simple.life or received website-based billing, use the in-app manage flow.
- Open the Simple app and tap the profile icon on the Home or Track tab.
- Scroll down and tap Manage subscription.
- Tap Manage Subscription again on the next screen.
- Enter the email address used to subscribe. Simple sends a verification code. Enter the code.
- You will reach your profile or plan page. Tap Plan Management.
- Select Turn-off auto-renewal (or the cancel option).
- Complete the short cancellation survey if prompted and confirm.
You should see a confirmation message. Premium features remain available until the end of the current cycle. If the manage option does not appear, contact support with your email and order details.
Commitment Plans and Special Rules
Some users enroll in commitment plans that lock in a discounted rate for a set number of months. These generally cannot be canceled for convenience until the term ends.
Exceptions usually include:
- Canceling within 7 days of purchase by contacting support (you may still pay for the first month).
- Applicable cooling-off periods under local law.
- Paying an early cancellation fee in some cases to end the plan immediately.
Check your plan details in the app under Manage subscription. If you see “Commitment Plan,” follow the in-app options or contact support before the next charge.
What Happens After You Cancel
Cancellation stops future automatic renewals. You keep Premium access and any remaining benefits until the paid period ends. After that date the account typically reverts to free features.
No new charges should appear if you canceled successfully before the renewal cutoff (often 24 hours prior). Monitor your next statement to confirm.
Refunds
Refund rules depend on the purchase channel and plan type.
- Website regular subscriptions: You may request a refund within 30 days of a charge by canceling first and contacting support.
- Commitment plans: More limited; early cancellation often involves a fee or is restricted after the initial window.
- App Store or Google Play: Refunds are handled by Apple or Google. Request through their support tools (usually within about 30 days at their discretion).
Deleting the app or account does not trigger a refund or cancel billing. Contact the correct party with your order details and proof of cancellation.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
- Act at least 24 hours before the next renewal date.
- Keep screenshots of confirmation screens and emails.
- Search your email for “Simple,” receipts, or verification codes if you need the original signup address.
- Use the same device and account that made the purchase.
- After canceling, reopen the app later to verify the status.
- If the subscription does not appear in the expected place, check all Apple or Google accounts on the device.
Common Problems and Solutions
Some people cannot find the subscription because it was purchased under a different email or Google/Apple account. Review recent bank charges for the exact descriptor and match it to the platform.
If manage options fail or verification codes do not arrive, contact support through the in-app widget or email (support@simple.life or care@simple.life). Provide your account email and approximate purchase date.
Paused subscriptions usually need to be resumed before you can fully cancel. Follow the resume steps first, then turn off auto-renewal.
Alternatives After Canceling
Once on the free plan you can still use basic fasting and tracking tools. Other free or paid health apps offer similar intermittent fasting timers, food logs, or coaching.
Choose tools that match your goals and have clear cancellation policies. Consult a healthcare professional before making major diet or fasting changes.
FAQs About How to Cancel Simple Subscription
Q: Does deleting the Simple app cancel the subscription?
No. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play, or the website manage flow. Deleting the app only removes it from the device.
Q: Will I get a refund when I cancel?
It depends on the channel and timing. Website regular plans may allow a refund within 30 days of a charge. App Store and Google Play refunds go through those platforms. Commitment plans have tighter rules.
Q: How long do I keep Premium access after canceling?
Until the end of the current billing period you already paid for. After that the account moves to free features.
Q: What if I have a commitment plan?
You generally stay enrolled until the term ends unless you cancel within the first 7 days or pay an early termination fee. Check your plan status in the app or contact support.
Conclusion
Canceling a Simple subscription is straightforward when you use the correct path for your purchase method. Use Apple Settings or Google Play for app-store plans, or the in-app Manage subscription flow for website plans.
Cancel before the next renewal, keep confirmation records, and verify the status afterward.
These steps stop future charges while letting you finish the period already paid. Check your account and statements to confirm everything is complete.
