How to cancel iMicroscope - Magnifying Glass and get your money back
iMicroscope - Magnifying Glass is a Lifestyle app by elklab UG (haftungsbeschraenkt). Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 28 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 iMicroscope - Magnifying Glass → 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

My iPhone can zoom in literally 25 times more than this microscope app. It cost two dollars. What a joke and I feel like a refund. This is horrendous only magnifies times eight scam is this what kind of scam is this over here?
Maybe you only need to enlarge things that are not close up, but this is a ripoff if you want to use it close to anything. I want my 2 bucks back. All this is good for us seeing that small print on a package. I can use my phone camera for that. Somebody please help me find an app or even peripheral that will allow me to enlarge something truly microscopic. The name of this app is very misleading.
I bought this hoping to improve on my iPhone 13 pros camera and it is not even as good as just my camera app would have given zero stars if that was an option would like my money back

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