How to cancel Dollarwise: Budget & Tracking and get your money back
Dollarwise: Budget & Tracking is a Finance app by Hammer Media LLC. 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 Dollarwise: Budget & Tracking → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.

Just know that they make it very hard to cancel the subscription. Doesn’t show up anywhere in the app and when you go on the website to do it it just redirects you to the app, great design! I would say if I enjoyed medieval forms of torture. Do better Mr. Hammer
I actually try the free trial and it’s not even close to EveryDollar app where they have the free version of it. The only difference is connecting to the bank. I like the free version where I can put in manually after I purchase something. This dumb app is more expensive than every dollar and the app is horrible. Don’t buy it! But do subscribe to Cable hammer elites for your first year 50 percent off and the value is…
I have been watching his videos and thought I would try his budgeting app! I like how it looked so user friendly but once I entered all my info I then needed to pay!! $100 a freaking year? Or $9.99 a month which would then be $120 per year? You’re supposed to be helping us budget- if we need this help I promise you we can’t afford to pay for it!! You really want people to pay for it? Maybe have a free version. Maybe …

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