How to cancel Home+ 6 and get your money back
Home+ 6 is a Lifestyle app by Matthias Hochgatterer. 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 Home+ 6 → 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

The grouping functionality doesn’t seem to work any differently from the Apple Home app which is what I was hoping for.
This app was great with v4. It was super quick on my iPhone and Apple Watch, which was great because the standard Home app on Apple Watch was super unreliable and very slow to load info. Unfortunately, v5 update was released and it’s slow as molasses on Apple Watch now. Huge delay when loading device statuses and why is there a back arrow to select a different home if you only have one home? Also the fact that the…
I bought this app as I read on Reddit that it is able to trigger HomeKit smart plug (MeRoss) by reading relative humidity from Aqara sensor. I read that this paid app can do that unlike the free Eve for HomeKit app. I need the power to turn on when humidity drops below 30%. However, no matter what I do, and checked the if then formula, it does not work. I reached out to developer via email to see if the app needs an …

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Home+ 6?
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 Home+ 6 if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
