How to cancel MarketWatch - News & Data and get your money back
MarketWatch - News & Data is a Finance app by Dow Jones & Company, Inc., publisher of The Wall Street Journal.. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 50 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 MarketWatch - News & Data → 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 MarketWatch - News & Data on the App Store, about billing:
MarketWatch was my go to internet market site in the early 2000’s. Even when it was free, I never did more than quickly browse and look at my watch list. I’m definitely not paying, even one cent, for a subscription.
Canceling my subscription due to the one sided-all things against Trump articles MarketWatch consistently writes. Seeing everything always getting spun to the negative gets old. Bye
Hmm.. got charged days before my free trial ended . LAWSUIT COMING . My account is negative because of you all !

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