Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the Good News App purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.
What Good News App users report about billing
Users complain that the app lacks diversity in topics, often focusing narrowly on specific themes like environmentalism or animal rights, which many find too one-sided. Many reviews criticize the app for being overly ideological, with a perceived liberal or left-leaning bias, and for using gender-inclusive language that some find distracting or annoying. Additionally, users are frustrated with the app's heavy reliance on linking to external articles, excessive donation requests, and technical issues like bugs and poor iPad compatibility.

Good News App cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Good News App 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 Good News App will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Good News App?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Good News App directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Good News App 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 Good News App still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Good News App 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 Good News App account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Good News App 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 Good News App right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Good News App 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.
