How to cancel your Colorfy subscription and stop recurring charges
What Colorfy is and why you might want to cancel
Colorfy is a mobile colouring application available on iOS and Android that delivers free basic access and premium paid subscriptions. When you upgrade to premium, you unlock additional art packs, colour palettes, and weekly content updates. The critical issue for many users is that subscriptions renew automatically through your app store-either Apple App Store or Google Play-and deleting the application will not stop your charges. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of Australian consumers navigate subscription cancellations, and you are not alone if you're frustrated with unexpected recurring billing.
Colorfy markets weekly, monthly, and annual subscription tiers, and many users report surprise charges appearing on their statements because they did not realise their subscription would auto-renew. The positive news is that cancelling is entirely within your control once you understand the correct steps. This guide walks you through how to stop your Colorfy charges, understand your consumer rights under Australian law, and recover any money you are owed.
Common reasons to cancel Colorfy
You might cancel because you have finished your colouring projects, prefer free alternatives, or simply do not use the application regularly enough to justify the cost. Others cancel after discovering they were charged without clear consent, or because they realised they are paying for multiple subscriptions they have forgotten about. Whatever your reason, cancelling stops future charges immediately once your app store processes the cancellation.
Why cancelling matters now
Continuing to pay for an unused subscription drains your budget month after month. For weekly plans at approximately AUD 12.00 per charge, you could lose AUD 600 or more annually if you forget to cancel. Yafee recommends acting on this guide today to prevent the next billing cycle from occurring.

These AUD amounts are approximate conversions at current mid-market exchange rates. Your actual charge depends on your app store's local pricing, any applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST), and promotional pricing active at the time you subscribed. Always check the exact price shown in your app store before confirming any subscription. The most important detail is your billing cycle, because it determines when you will be charged next and when your cancellation deadline falls due.
Why your billing cycle matters to cancellation timing
If you subscribe to a weekly plan, you will be charged every seven days, meaning you have a narrow window to cancel before the next charge hits. Monthly and annual subscribers have more breathing room, but it remains critical that you cancel before your renewal date passes. Yafee recommends marking your renewal date in a phone calendar or setting a reminder as soon as you subscribe, so you never miss your cancellation window if you decide to stop paying.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law (ACL) protects you when you purchase digital services, including app subscriptions, and you retain legal rights regardless of what Colorfy's terms and conditions state.
Key protections that apply to your Colorfy subscription
Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have the right to expect that any digital content or service is of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and supplied within a reasonable time. If Colorfy charges you without your clear consent, fails to deliver the promised features, or bills you after you have cancelled, you may claim a refund or compensation. The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) enforces these protections and investigates complaints about unfair contract terms and misleading billing practices.
Furthermore, Australian Consumer Law prohibits automatic renewal traps-where a business charges you after a free trial or introductory period without explicit, prior consent. If Colorfy did not clearly disclose the renewal date, the full price, or how to cancel before charging you, the ACCC may consider this conduct misleading or deceptive.
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
You have the right to cancel your Colorfy subscription at any time. Once you cancel, the service provider must stop all future charges. If you cancel before the renewal date, no further billing should occur. However, subscriptions already paid are treated differently: you may only claim a refund if the service was not provided, was faulty, or if you cancelled within a cooling-off period (which varies by platform). Yafee advises checking whether Apple's App Store or Google Play offers a refund window-typically 48 hours from purchase-if you cancelled immediately after charging.
How to cancel your Colorfy subscription
Cancelling Colorfy depends on which platform hosts your subscription: Apple App Store, Google Play, or (in rare cases) the Colorfy website directly. Follow the steps for your specific platform.
Cancel Colorfy on apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Apple App Store application on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the account icon in the bottom right corner (your profile picture or initials).
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Locate Colorfy in the list of active subscriptions.
- If you do not see Colorfy listed, your subscription has already been cancelled or was never active.
- Tap on Colorfy to open its subscription details page.
- You will see your renewal date, the price, and cancellation options.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the page.
- Do not tap "Remove" or "Delete" alone; you must explicitly select "Cancel Subscription."
- Confirm your cancellation by selecting "Confirm" or "Yes" when prompted.
- Apple may offer a brief incentive to keep your subscription; ignore this and proceed with cancellation.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message stating "Subscription cancelled."
- Screenshot or note this confirmation for your records.
Cancel Colorfy on google play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store application on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu options.
- You will see all active subscriptions associated with your Google account.
- Find Colorfy in the list and tap on it.
- If Colorfy does not appear, your subscription is already cancelled.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the Colorfy details page.
- Do not uninstall the application; cancellation must occur in Google Play.
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation reason (optional).
- Google may ask why you are cancelling; your answer helps the company improve but does not affect your cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" again.
- You will see a confirmation message stating your subscription is cancelled.
Cancel Colorfy via the Colorfy website or customer support
In rare cases, Colorfy subscriptions purchased directly through the Colorfy website (rather than via an app store) require cancellation through Colorfy's own customer service. According to Colorfy's cancellation policy, you must send a written notice of cancellation in English by postal mail to the primary address listed below. Include your account details, the date you want your cancellation to take effect, and a clear request for confirmation of termination. Use tracked or registered mail to obtain proof of delivery, as this protects you if Colorfy later claims it did not receive your notice.
Colorfy's primary cancellation address is:
Colorfy Support
Berlin, Germany
If the Berlin address is not accepted by your postal service, contact Colorfy customer support through the application to request alternative addresses. Ensure you retain your postal receipt and any delivery confirmation, as these serve as evidence that you cancelled on a specific date.
What happens after you cancel Colorfy
Understanding what occurs after cancellation prevents confusion and helps you verify that you have successfully stopped your charges.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you cancel through your app store or via postal mail, the service provider processes your request. On Apple App Store, cancellation takes effect immediately, and your renewal date is removed from your account. On Google Play, cancellation is similarly instant. You retain access to premium features until the end of your current billing period, after which you revert to the free tier. Yafee recommends checking your account settings within 24 hours of cancellation to confirm that your subscription no longer appears in your active list.
Verify your cancellation was successful
Return to your app store account (Apple or Google) and navigate to your subscriptions list. Colorfy should no longer appear under active subscriptions; instead, it may appear under "Expired" or "Cancelled" subscriptions (where you can still access order history). If Colorfy still shows as active more than 24 hours after you cancelled, contact your app store's customer support immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
Monitor your bank or credit card statement
After cancellation, watch your statement for the next 30 days to ensure no further charges occur. If you are charged after cancelling, document the charge immediately and raise a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer. In Australia, this is your right under the ePayments Code, and your financial institution can reverse unauthorised charges within defined timeframes.
How to request a refund for Colorfy charges
If you were charged after cancelling, charged without consent, or the service was faulty, you may be entitled to a refund under Australian Consumer Law.
Refund eligibility and timeframes
Apple App Store and Google Play both offer refund windows-typically 48 hours from purchase for most subscriptions. If you subscribed fewer than 48 hours ago, visit your app store's subscription details page and select "Report a Problem" or "Request a Refund." Explain that you wish to cancel and request a full refund of the charge.
For charges older than 48 hours, you must raise a refund claim with Colorfy directly or, if that fails, escalate to the ACCC. Contact Colorfy through the application's support feature or via the Berlin address listed above. Explain that you were charged without consent or after cancellation and request a refund. Retain all evidence: screenshots of your cancellation, your app store statements, and bank transactions showing the charge.
If Colorfy refuses your refund
If Colorfy denies your refund request despite clear evidence that you cancelled or were charged without consent, lodge a complaint with the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) at accc.gov.au. The ACCC investigates breaches of Australian Consumer Law and can compel the service provider to refund you and pay additional penalties for misleading or deceptive conduct. Yafee has seen the ACCC successfully recover refunds for thousands of Australian consumers charged by overseas digital services.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Colorfy
Cancellation mistakes are frustrating but entirely preventable once you know what to watch for.
Deleting the Colorfy application without cancelling the subscription
This is the most common error. Deleting the application from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your app store still holds your subscription record, and billing continues automatically on your renewal date. You must cancel through your app store's subscription settings, not simply remove the app. Even if you never open Colorfy again, the charges will recur until you formally cancel.
Cancelling on the wrong renewal date or too late
If your renewal date is 15 March and you attempt to cancel on 16 March, the charge has already gone through for the next billing cycle. You have now been charged again and must wait until the next renewal date to prevent a third charge. Yafee recommends cancelling at least five business days before your renewal date to ensure your cancellation processes before the system triggers the next charge.
Not checking your subscription settings before believing you have cancelled
After tapping "Cancel Subscription," always return to your subscription list within 24 hours to confirm Colorfy no longer appears as active. Some users tap the button but fail to confirm the final prompt, leaving the subscription live. Screenshots or written records of your confirmation message protect you if you later need to dispute a charge.
Ignoring the cancellation confirmation and losing evidence
Your app store's cancellation confirmation is your legal proof that you cancelled on a specific date. If a dispute arises, you will need this evidence to prove to the ACCC or your bank that you acted in good faith. Screenshot or email yourself a copy of the confirmation message immediately after cancelling.
