How to cancel Vinegar - Tube Cleaner and get your money back
Vinegar - Tube Cleaner is a Utilities app by And a Dinosaur. 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 Vinegar - Tube Cleaner → 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

First, you have to add as a Safari extension (meaning you must go to YouTube.com (does not work with YouTube app). Then in Safari settings you must allow access. Set up everything. Went to YouTube, played a video, instantly got an ad. Needless to say I requested a refund.
Doesn’t do what it says it does. It crashes as soon as a video is tried to play. Don’t waste your money no refunds either

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