How to cancel AnkiMobile Flashcards and get your money back
AnkiMobile Flashcards is a Education app by Anki Software LLC. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 100 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select AnkiMobile Flashcards → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.
Step 2 — Ask Apple for the charge back
Answer these and you'll get the exact wording to paste into Apple's form. Nothing is sent anywhere — it's generated in your browser.

I downloaded by mistake thinking this would generate cards I need my money back !
This app is an absolute scam. Do not purchase. You will not get what you’re looking for. It’s an absolute scam. Just buy real flash cards. This app is pure fraud
Do not recommend this app for Mobile IOS users. I purchased and downloaded AnkiMobile in my iPhone and iPad but the experience has been nothing but terrible. Interface is not user friendly and very glitchy. New cards don’t refresh daily so I have to wait days to see new cards and the “custom study” option is inoperative altogether. Therefore, I can’t study new cards nor old ones. I emphasize, stay way from this app…

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled AnkiMobile Flashcards?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to AnkiMobile Flashcards if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
