How to cancel Italian Food Decoder and get your money back
Italian Food Decoder is a Food & Drink app by Wu Wei Ltd. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 24 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 Italian Food Decoder → 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
Answer these and you'll get the exact wording to paste into Apple's form. Nothing is sent anywhere — it's generated in your browser.

Recent 1–2★ reviews of Italian Food Decoder on the App Store, about billing:
Terrible. Crashes upon opening. I have sent three emails to their support and have yet to receive a reply much less a solution. Finally received a return email giving me suggestions I had already tried. They did contact me again and gave me a refund, but no fix.

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