How to cancel Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker and get your money back
Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker is a Travel app by Flightradar24 AB. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 50 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 Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.

I’ve been using the free version of this app and just accidentally clicked an ad (just a random huge blue rectangle). It took me to a third party scam site and loudly announced that my phone was being locked due to child pornography. I closed my browser immediately and deleted the app. I get that apps need revenue and get that through advertisements but can we raise the bar maybe and keep scammers and porn out of it …
With a paid subscription, the app should never have ads in the app. The ads cover over data points which is unacceptable.
This app provides significantly less useful information than at least one of the other flight tracking interfaces. Moreover, this app hosts scam advertisements. For example the most recent advertisement I viewed on this app open day webpage representing itself as a security alert claiming from Apple.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker?
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 Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
