When I first heard about Cooklist, I thought it sounded great: being able to keep track of your pantry, find recipes, make a weekly list, and then place your order directly with your local grocery store. I was just starting to cook so it was an extremely helpful tool for a while. We were using it so often we upgraded and got a subscription. But as time went on, various bits of functionality stopped working correctly …
This is the worst meal prep subscription I’ve used! The pantry entry is decent enough but the meals are terrible. It feels like they have a bot scrapping the internet for recipes then doing a horrible time transferring the ingredients and instructions to their format. The first three meals I tried to cook, all highly rated, had ingredients in the steps that weren’t in the list so I didn’t shop for them. The alternati…
This would have been a great app but I live in Fl and they do not have a link with my (or any) Publix store … what a shame. I guess I am going to cancel during the trial period.

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