How to cancel Check Book Register and get your money back

Check Book Register is a Business app by Manu Gupta. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.

Based on 47 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.

Step 1 — Stop the next charge

  1. On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
  2. Select Check Book RegisterCancel Subscription.
  3. 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.

A detail only you could write makes the request read as yours rather than a form letter.

You're not the only one

Recent 1–2★ reviews of Check Book Register on the App Store, about billing:

This app is horrible! I wish I had my money back to put in my real checkbook register. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone, especially people just starting out.

Never occurred to me to read the reviews just like it never occurred to me that a check book register would only have one page. What a piece of garbage! I want my money back!

Questions

Can I get a refund after I already canceled Check Book Register?

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 Check Book Register if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
