Cancelling your Simple Life App subscription sounds like it should take two minutes. It rarely does. Users across multiple review platforms report confusing cancellation flows, unexpected charges, and a customer service team that offers extensions instead of refunds. If you've been trying to cancel and keep hitting walls, you're not alone.
Simple Life App markets itself as a healthy fitness and lifestyle platform — but the experience of trying to leave tells a different story. Real users describe being charged without clear warning, struggling to get money back after their bank flagged suspicious payments, and feeling trapped in a subscription they never fully understood when they signed up. One user described the app's coaching character as "passive aggressive and patronizing" and said she'd be ditching it the moment her paid term ended.
This guide walks you through exactly how to cancel your Simple Life App subscription correctly, what to do if something goes wrong, and how to protect your money. Whether you've already been charged or you're trying to stop the next payment before it hits, the steps below will help you do it properly.
Quick Overview: The Most Important Warnings Before You Cancel
Before you do anything else, read these. They could save you real money.
• Auto-renewal is the default. Simple Life App subscriptions renew automatically. Miss the renewal date and you'll be billed for another full term — no warning, no grace period.
• Cancelling doesn't mean a refund. Stopping future charges and getting your money back for the current period are two completely separate things. Cancellation cuts off future billing — it doesn't automatically trigger a refund.
• Bank flags have happened. At least one user reported their bank flagging a £59.99 payment as suspicious. That's a sign the billing process isn't always transparent. Keep an eye on your statements.
• Offers of extensions are not refunds. If support offers you a free extension instead of a refund, that's a retention tactic — not a solution. You are entitled to push back and ask for your money instead.
• Screenshot everything. Date-stamp your cancellation confirmation, any email exchanges, and any support chat. You may well need these later.
• Time to Cancel is the easiest way to handle this. If you'd rather not deal with confusing menus and back-and-forth emails, Time to Cancel can manage the entire cancellation process on your behalf — quickly and reliably.

Most Common Problems When Cancelling Simple Life App
Based on real user experiences, these are the cancellation problems that come up again and again.
The subscription was not what users expected. Multiple users signed up thinking they were getting a straightforward fitness or exercise app. Instead, they received a full diet and coaching programme they didn't want. That mismatch between expectation and reality is one of the most common reasons people try to cancel quickly after signing up — and then discover how difficult that process actually is.
The app is confusing to use. Users have described the interface as hard to navigate. If the app itself is a struggle, finding the cancellation option buried somewhere in the settings becomes even more frustrating. One reviewer specifically called out the app's coaching character as patronising — not exactly motivation to stick around.
Unexpected charges. One user reported a £59.99 charge that was flagged by their bank as suspicious. That's a significant amount. And having your bank catch it before it goes through doesn't mean the problem is resolved — the user still had to fight to get their own money back. That's backwards, and it's a situation nobody should have to deal with.
Refunds are not straightforward. When users ask for refunds, they're often offered subscription extensions instead. This is a classic retention tactic — an extension is not the same as a refund, and accepting one could complicate your ability to claim your money back later through your bank or consumer rights channels.
No clear cancellation path. The Simple Life App website does not make cancellation obvious or easy. This is deliberate in many subscription businesses — friction reduces churn. Knowing this going in helps you approach the process with the right level of persistence.
Preparation: What You Need to Know Before You Cancel Simple Life App
A few minutes of preparation here will save you a much bigger headache later.
Find your subscription details. Log into your Simple Life App account and check the subscription section. Note your next renewal date, the amount you're being charged, and how you originally paid — credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, through the App Store, and so on. The payment method matters, because it determines where your cancellation request actually needs to go.
If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel there. This is critical. If your subscription was set up through Apple or Google, cancelling through the Simple Life App website does nothing. You must cancel directly through your App Store or Play Store subscription settings. A lot of people miss this and keep getting charged.
Check your email for the original sign-up confirmation. This tells you what you agreed to, what the cancellation policy says, and what trial or promotional terms applied. If you signed up during a trial period, there may be a specific window in which you needed to cancel to avoid being charged.
Take screenshots now. Before you start the cancellation process, screenshot your subscription page — renewal date, amount, all of it. If anything goes wrong later, you'll have proof of what your account looked like before you tried to cancel.
Know the email address on file. You'll need it for any support requests. Make sure it matches the email you used when signing up — mismatches cause delays.
Step-by-Step: How to Cancel Your Simple Life App Subscription
Follow these steps carefully depending on how you originally signed up.
Step 1: Log into your Simple Life App account
Go to https://simple-life-app.com/ and log in with your registered email and password.
Step 2: Navigate to account or subscription settings
Look for a profile icon, account menu, or settings page. Inside, find the subscription or billing section. The exact label may vary — look for anything related to "plan", "subscription", "billing", or "membership".
Step 3: Find the cancellation option
Once inside the subscription section, look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage plan" button. If you can't find it, don't stop there. Go directly to their support contact instead.
Step 4: Contact support directly if needed
If there's no visible cancellation button, send a written cancellation request to Simple Life App's customer support. Use the contact form or email address listed on their website. In your message, clearly state:
- Your full name
- The email address on your account
- Your request to cancel the subscription with immediate effect
- Your request for written confirmation of the cancellation
Keep a copy of this email.
Step 5: Cancel through Apple or Google if applicable
If you subscribed through the App Store: go to Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → Simple Life App → Cancel Subscription.
If you subscribed through Google Play: go to Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → Simple Life App → Cancel.
Step 6: Check your bank statement
After cancelling, monitor your bank or card statements through the next billing cycle to confirm no further charges appear. If a charge does come through after cancellation, you have solid grounds to dispute it.
Consumer rights note: In the UK, you have strong protections under consumer law. The UK government's consumer rights guidance at https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights outlines your rights around subscriptions and unfair contract terms. Money Saving Expert also has detailed guidance on refunds and consumer rights at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/consumer-rights-refunds-exchange/ — worth reading if you're having trouble getting money back.
Prefer not to handle this yourself? Time to Cancel takes care of the entire cancellation process for you. They know exactly how these subscription companies operate and handle the back-and-forth so you don't have to.
What If Something Goes Wrong? Complaints, Refunds, and Escalation
If Simple Life App doesn't respond, refuses to cancel, or charges you after you've already cancelled — here's what to do.
Step 1: Chase in writing
Send a follow-up email referencing your original cancellation request. Include the date you first contacted them and the date you expected the cancellation to take effect. Keep your tone firm but factual.
Step 2: Request a chargeback from your bank
If you've been charged after cancelling, contact your bank or card provider and explain the situation. A chargeback is a formal request to reverse a payment — your bank opens a dispute with the merchant. This is a legitimate, well-established consumer protection mechanism. Don't hesitate to use it.
If your bank flagged the payment as suspicious (as happened to at least one Simple Life App user), speak to their fraud team directly. They can advise you on the fastest route to getting your money back.
Step 3: Check your consumer rights
In the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects you against unfair contract terms. A subscription that is deliberately difficult to cancel may fall foul of these protections. The UK government guidance at https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights is a good starting point.
Money Saving Expert at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/consumer-rights-refunds-exchange/ also has a clear breakdown of when you're entitled to a refund, including in digital subscription contexts.
Step 4: Report the company
If you believe Simple Life App has engaged in misleading or unfair commercial practices, you can report them to Trading Standards in the UK, or to the relevant consumer protection authority in your country. These reports build a record of complaints that can lead to enforcement action.
One important warning: if Simple Life App offers you a free subscription extension instead of a refund, be cautious about accepting it without reserving your right to claim a refund. Accepting an extension could be interpreted as settling the dispute. Get any offer confirmed in writing before you respond.
Your Consumer Rights When Cancelling Simple Life App
Your rights as a consumer are stronger than most subscription companies want you to believe.
In the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 means that services must be provided as described, to a reasonable standard, and within a reasonable time. If the app was described as a fitness app but delivered something significantly different — like an unwanted diet plan — you may have grounds for a refund based on misrepresentation. That's not a minor technicality; it's a real legal basis.
The UK also has specific regulations around subscription contracts. Businesses are required to make cancellation processes clear and easy to use. A cancellation process that is deliberately obscured or confusing may constitute an unfair contract term.
The 14-day cooling-off period applies to many digital subscriptions in the UK and across the EU. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, if you signed up online and immediately realised this wasn't what you wanted, you may be entitled to a full refund within 14 days — even for a digital service. The caveat is that if you actively used the service, the business may argue your right to withdraw was waived. But if you barely touched it, it's still worth pursuing.
GDPR rights are also relevant. Once you cancel, you can request that Simple Life App delete your personal data. This is your right under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Send a Subject Access Request or a deletion request to their data team after your subscription is cancelled.
Full guidance on your consumer rights in the UK is available at https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights, and Money Saving Expert covers refund rights in detail at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/consumer-rights-refunds-exchange/.
Alternatives to Simple Life App
If you're leaving Simple Life App because it wasn't the right fit, here are some categories worth considering — based on what real users said they actually wanted.
For pure exercise and workout tracking: Many users signed up expecting a workout app and got a diet and coaching programme instead. If that's you, look for apps that focus purely on movement — structured workout plans, step tracking, or bodyweight training. Most major fitness apps are upfront about what they include before you subscribe.
For habit tracking: Simple Life App promotes healthy habits as part of its offering. There are several well-regarded habit-building apps that work on a simple daily check-in model, without the coaching layer that many users found patronising.
For nutrition and diet, if that's what you actually want: If you were genuinely interested in the nutrition side, look for apps that clearly state upfront that they're diet-focused. Reading a few recent user reviews before subscribing can save you from repeating this experience.
General tip: Before subscribing to any new fitness or wellness app, check whether it offers a free trial, what the cancellation process looks like, and whether the auto-renewal terms are clearly stated. A legitimate app makes it easy to leave — that confidence in their product is a good sign.
Whatever you choose next, Time to Cancel can also help you manage any future subscriptions you want to stop. It's the simplest way to handle cancellations without the stress.
