How to cancel MarketSurge - Stock Research and get your money back
MarketSurge - Stock Research is a Finance app by Investor's Business Daily, Inc. 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 MarketSurge - Stock Research → 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 MarketSurge - Stock Research on the App Store, about billing:
Had probably the worse customer service experience I’ve had anywhere. Purchased and was charged for the app through my phone and it didn’t work at all, reached out to them and after being on hold for awhile finally someone answered and said that I should have bought it from the site not the phone, and that’s why it didn’t work. I was like why would you bother selling it through the app then and they basically said it…
The update was a change of data order that is now less useful. Served no purpose whatsoever. Just makes me reconsider renewing my subscription.
It’s crazy that a subscription service costing $150 per month does not have dark mode in 2024

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