How to cancel Tastemade Cooking and get your money back
Tastemade Cooking is a Food & Drink app by Tastemade, 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 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 Tastemade Cooking → 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 Tastemade Cooking on the App Store, about billing:
No tastemade, a free trial is not the same as an app being free. At the very least have part of the app be free. I was excited to try this as a college student who likes cooking and meal planning but this is just bs!
I also had the same issue as another reviewer. ( look up the reviews! )You try to cancel it but it didn’t fully cancel. I tried to get a refund and they wouldn’t allow it. I never used their app. It never helped me with anything. And they won’t refund it because they need money.
I was not impressed by the app., so I removed it and canceled the subscription before the free tryout ended. Image my surprise to find that they kept billing my credit card! Don’t trust this app.!

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