My Lightning Tracker & Alerts cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling My Lightning Tracker & Alerts 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 My Lightning Tracker & Alerts will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from My Lightning Tracker & Alerts?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by My Lightning Tracker & Alerts directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the My Lightning Tracker & Alerts 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 My Lightning Tracker & Alerts still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows My Lightning Tracker & Alerts 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 Google Play subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my My Lightning Tracker & Alerts account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the My Lightning Tracker & Alerts app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the Google Play and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to My Lightning Tracker & Alerts right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to My Lightning Tracker & Alerts 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.
