How to cancel FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda and get your money back

Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda → 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 FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda on the App Store, about billing:
Waste of $7. It cannot do anything my Autel scanner can't, which cost me several thousand dollars. I wish I could get my money back. Atrocity of an application.
I purchased the OBDLink adaptor so I could use this software to bleed my brakes. The example screens show this option. The option does not show up on the service screens. If you don’t support this I would like a refund. That is the only reason I bought the adapter and software.
I have tried three different elm scanners and this app will not connect to any of them and then it tells me I’m not elite for a refund 30 mins after buying it

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda?
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 FORScan Lite - for Ford, Mazda if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
