Badoo Dating: Meet New People is a Lifestyle app by Badoo Software Ltd. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.

Just like the rest of them. Whole thing is a scam. I set up a basic profile, a few modest photos, and sent likes and messages to dozens of potential matches. I received not a single like or message from any of the hundreds or thousands of potential matches within my search radious. My account was inundated with likes from users in foreign countries. I let it run on its own for over a month, and I did not have one wor…
I paid a subscription yet you still have to pay to unlock other stuff. Don’t recommend paying for this app. App sucks
This app seems to have a bias against the LGBTQ+ community, because my settings were set to women only, and I never got a 3-day free trial, nor did I have many options. That never happened when I set my preference to “men” or “everyone”. When I filed a complaint, I never got a response.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Badoo Dating: Meet New People?
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 Badoo Dating: Meet New People if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
