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