How to cancel Distressed FX : Plus and get your money back
Distressed FX : Plus is a Photo & Video app by We Are Here Limited. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 53 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 Distressed FX : Plus → 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

Recent 1–2★ reviews of Distressed FX : Plus on the App Store, about billing:
I select one of my images from the camera roll, OR, take a photo. To no avail. The screen is not responsive to selections. The stock photo that comes with the app (of a cow) works to modify with the effects, but not when I use one of my own photos. I paid $9.99 for this app and want a refund. Not happy. If I could give zero stars I would. Developer does not respond to emails

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