How to cancel Calm and get your money back
Calm is a Health & Fitness app by Calm.com, Inc.. 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 Calm → 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

Great app… but why do you literally have to pay for everything??? I actually have sleep struggles and you’re making me pay for 90% of the app. When I need it the most, I choose something, then it just pops up a subscription screen. Thanks for listening…..
Calm says I have no valid subscription. 12 days, 10 attempts to reach support, one email back telling me how to login. I wish I could give a 0 for support.
The app is awesome. I have enjoyed it for several years. I contacted support when Calm said I have no subscription. 10 days, 8 requests to support. One email back to tall me how to login. I am done trying to get them to work with me. I wish I could give them a 0 for support.

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