How to cancel QR Reader for iPhone and get your money back
QR Reader for iPhone is a Utilities app by TapMedia 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 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 QR Reader for iPhone → 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.

I have had this app for years and since the update it wants me to buy A subscription which was never there before and added AI to it that fails to identify the bar code. I do not recommend this for use now that they changed it
Had this app for a while and it worked OK, but now it pops up a screen getting you to subscribe to a paid service when you open. Hard to figure out how to cancel. Just want to scan so I can park. Terrible app, do not support this deceptive marketing strategy.

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