Crosswords With Friends cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Crosswords With Friends stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Crosswords With Friends will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Crosswords With Friends?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Crosswords With Friends directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Crosswords With Friends charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is Crosswords With Friends still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Crosswords With Friends as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Crosswords With Friends account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Crosswords With Friends app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Crosswords With Friends right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Crosswords With Friends until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
