Frequently asked questions
Cancel Doc Scanner: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Doc Scanner and stop automatic renewal charges
Why you might need to cancel Doc Scanner
Doc Scanner is a mobile app published by SHELL INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED that transforms your phone's camera into a document scanner. The app combines optical character recognition (OCR) technology with PDF editing tools. You start with a free tier offering limited scans, then unlock premium features like batch processing and full text extraction through monthly or annual paid subscriptions.
Common reasons to cancel include workflow changes, subscription costs no longer aligning with your actual usage, or discovering alternative apps that better suit your needs. The critical detail: Doc Scanner uses automatic renewal billing through your app store account. Your payment method will be charged repeatedly at the end of each billing period unless you actively cancel beforehand. At Yafee, we help thousands of Australian consumers regain control of their subscriptions by walking them through the exact cancellation steps.
How Doc scanner's subscription system works
Doc Scanner operates within the standard app store billing framework. You select a plan, your payment method is charged on the purchase date, and your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle. The subscription terms in your app store listing state that you cannot cancel mid-period to claim a refund for time already paid. However, you can prevent future charges by cancelling before the renewal date arrives.
Timing is therefore critical. If you cancel on day 20 of a 30-day cycle, you retain premium access until day 30, but no renewal charge will process. Conversely, if you cancel after the renewal date has already passed, the next payment has likely been deducted from your account.
When cancellation makes financial sense
Calculate whether Doc Scanner remains value for money by reviewing your actual usage over the past three months. If you scan documents fewer than five times per week, the free tier may suffice. If your primary workflow has shifted to another tool, cancellation immediately prevents wasted expenditure. Yafee recommends documenting your last usage date before you submit a cancellation request, as this strengthens any subsequent refund claim should the app store refuse your request.
Current australian pricing and billing periods
Doc Scanner presents two primary subscription options converted to Australian dollars at current exchange rates.
| Plan | Billing period | Approximate AUD price | Free trial offered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | 1 month | A$3.00 approx | None |
| Annual subscription | 12 months | A$18.00 approx | 3 days (forfeited if you upgrade) |
| Free tier | Ongoing | Free | Unlimited access |
These figures represent conversions from the app store listing at publication time. Your actual charge will appear in AUD on your payment confirmation from Apple or Google. Regional pricing fluctuates, so verify the exact amount charged to your payment method before you proceed with cancellation.
Your consumer rights and what Doc scanner's terms mean for you
Australian consumer law grants you specific protections when purchasing digital services, including app subscriptions.
What australian consumer law says about subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law, administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), requires that all subscription services be transparent about billing terms, cancellation procedures, and automatic renewal. Doc Scanner must disclose these terms clearly before you are charged. Furthermore, you have the right to cancel a subscription at any time, and the company must honour that cancellation without unreasonable delay or additional barriers.
The ACCC has made specific findings that automatic renewal charges must be preceded by clear, consumer-friendly disclosure of the terms. If you were not given prominent notice of how often you would be charged, the amount of each charge, and how to cancel, you may have grounds to dispute the charge with your payment provider or the ACCC directly.
Your legal position when cancelling Doc Scanner
You hold the following legal entitlements under Australian Consumer Law:
- You can cancel your subscription at any time, effective immediately or by the end of your current billing period at your choice.
- The company must process your cancellation request promptly - typically within 7 business days.
- You are not entitled to a refund for time already paid and consumed, unless the service was not fit for purpose or substantially failed to perform as advertised.
- If Doc Scanner's cancellation process is deliberately obstructed or hidden, this constitutes misleading or deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law.
- You can escalate disputes to the ACCC if the company refuses to cancel your subscription or continues charging after you have cancelled.
Yafee advises documenting all cancellation requests by email and retaining confirmation receipts. This evidence protects you if a dispute arises.
How to cancel Doc Scanner on iPhone and iPad
Cancellation of Doc Scanner on Apple devices must occur through the App Store app itself, not through the Doc Scanner application.
Step 1: access the app store app
Open the App Store application on your iPhone or iPad. The icon is blue with a white play button symbol. Ensure you are signed in with the Apple ID that purchased the Doc Scanner subscription.
Step 2: navigate to your subscriptions
Tap the profile or account icon, typically located in the top-right corner of the App Store home screen. From the menu that appears, select "Subscriptions."
Step 3: locate Doc Scanner in your active subscriptions
- Review the list of active subscriptions displayed on your screen.
- Find "Doc Scanner" and tap it to open the subscription details.
- If Doc Scanner does not appear, your subscription may already be cancelled or was never activated.
Step 4: initiate cancellation
On the Doc Scanner subscription details page, tap the "Cancel Subscription" button. If that option does not appear, tap "Edit" or "Manage" to access cancellation controls.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation request
- Apple will present a confirmation screen explaining that your access to premium features will end at the conclusion of your current billing period.
- Select your reason for cancellation from the list provided (this step is optional but helps Apple refine the app store experience).
- Tap "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, Cancel Subscription" to finalise your request.
Apple immediately sends a cancellation confirmation email to the address associated with your Apple ID. Your premium access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, at which point your subscription terminates permanently and no further charges will be applied.
Troubleshooting if Doc Scanner does not appear in subscriptions
If you cannot locate Doc Scanner in your active subscriptions list, one of the following scenarios has occurred:
- Your subscription has already been cancelled previously.
- The subscription was never activated, or the free trial expired without conversion to a paid plan.
- You are signed in to a different Apple ID than the one used for the original purchase.
Check your email inbox for any payment confirmations or cancellation receipts from Apple. If you locate a charge but cannot find the active subscription, contact Apple Support directly at support.apple.com or call 1300 275 638 (Apple Australia). Yafee recommends requesting a refund at this point, as Apple may issue a credit if the subscription was charged but not properly activated.
How to cancel Doc Scanner on android devices
Cancellation on Android operates through Google Play Store settings rather than the Doc Scanner app itself.
Step 1: open the google play store app
Launch the Google Play Store on your Android phone or tablet. The icon is a coloured triangle. Ensure you are signed in with the Google account that holds the Doc Scanner subscription.
Step 2: access your account menu
Tap your profile picture or avatar in the top-right corner of the screen. Select "Manage your Google Account" or "Payments and subscriptions," depending on your Android version.
Step 3: navigate to subscriptions
Tap the "Subscriptions" tab to display all active subscription agreements linked to your Google account.
Step 4: select Doc Scanner
Scroll through the list and tap "Doc Scanner" to open the subscription details page.
Step 5: cancel the subscription
- On the Doc Scanner subscription page, tap "Cancel subscription."
- Google Play will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may ask for cancellation feedback.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" again to confirm the action.
Google Play sends a cancellation confirmation email immediately. Your premium features remain active through the end of your current billing period. No further charges will be processed after your subscription expires.
Resolving android subscription issues
If you cannot locate Doc Scanner in your subscriptions, verify that you are signed in to the correct Google account. If you see a charge on your payment method but the subscription does not appear in Google Play, contact Google Support at support.google.com/googleplay. Request a refund within 48 hours of the charge if the subscription was unauthorised or you were not provided clear cancellation instructions.
Cancellation by direct contact with Doc Scanner
If you experience difficulties cancelling through your app store, you may contact Doc Scanner's support team directly.
Contact method and expected response time
Doc Scanner operates via email support only. Send your cancellation request to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request." Include the following information in your message:
- Your full name and email address associated with your app store account.
- Your app store account identifier (Apple ID or Google account email).
- The date you wish your subscription to be cancelled (or request immediate cancellation).
- Your current subscription plan (monthly or annual).
- Your order or transaction ID, if available from your payment confirmation.
Allow up to 14 days for Doc Scanner's support team to process and confirm your cancellation request. Email responses from [email protected] may arrive in your spam folder, so check there if you do not receive confirmation within 7 days. At Yafee, we recommend sending your cancellation request as a read receipt email or requesting confirmation of receipt to create a verifiable record.
What to do if Doc Scanner does not respond
If 14 days pass without confirmation, escalate your complaint to your payment provider (Apple, Google, or your credit card issuer). Request that they reverse the subscription charge and confirm cancellation on your behalf. Additionally, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC at accc.gov.au if you believe Doc Scanner is deliberately obstructing cancellation or continuing unauthorised charges. The ACCC investigates violations of automatic renewal disclosure requirements and can take enforcement action.
Refunds and what you can recover after cancellation
Understanding your refund entitlements protects you from unnecessary financial loss.
Refunds you are entitled to claim
Under Australian Consumer Law, you may claim a refund for Doc Scanner charges in the following circumstances:
- You cancelled your subscription before your renewal date, but the company charged you again - this is an unauthorised charge and must be reversed.
- The app failed to deliver the core functionality advertised (OCR not working, scanning failures, crashes on launch) - this constitutes a breach of the consumer guarantee of acceptable quality.
- You were not given clear, prominent notice of automatic renewal terms before you were charged - this violates ACCC automatic renewal requirements.
- You were charged without your consent or with misleading billing descriptions - this is deceptive conduct.
Yafee advises gathering evidence before requesting a refund: screenshots of the subscription terms page, your payment confirmation emails, and cancellation receipts from your app store.
Refunds you cannot claim
You are not entitled to a refund for time already paid and consumed, provided the app delivered the advertised features and you were properly informed of cancellation terms. If you used Doc Scanner's premium features for a full month and then decided the cost did not justify the value, the company is not legally obligated to refund the monthly charge.
How to request a refund from apple or google
Submit refund requests directly through your app store account. On Apple devices, visit support.apple.com/en-au/HT204084 and select "Report a Problem" next to the Doc Scanner transaction. On Android, go to support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7100100 and request a refund for the transaction in question. Provide a clear reason for your refund request - either unauthorised charge, non-delivery of services, or service failure. Most app stores process refunds within 5 to 7 business days.
What happens after you cancel Doc Scanner
Cancellation is straightforward, and your account transitions smoothly to a cancelled status.
Timeline and access after cancellation
Immediately after you confirm cancellation through your app store, the following occurs:
- Your subscription status changes to "Cancelled" in your app store account settings.
- You retain full access to Doc Scanner's premium features until 11:59 pm on your renewal date (the date your next payment was scheduled).
- Your payment method will not be charged on the renewal date.
- At the conclusion of your current billing period, your premium access is revoked automatically.
- You can still use Doc Scanner's free tier indefinitely after premium access expires.
No further action is required from you once you confirm cancellation. The app store manages the termination automatically.
Verifying your cancellation status
Return to your app store subscriptions list 24 hours after cancellation to confirm that Doc Scanner now displays as "Cancelled" or is no longer listed among active subscriptions. This verification protects you from accidental double-charging. If Doc Scanner still appears as active after 24 hours, repeat the cancellation process or contact app store support immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Doc Scanner
Cancelling is a straightforward process, and awareness of common pitfalls will ensure your subscription ends cleanly.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing Doc Scanner from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your payment method will continue to be charged at each renewal date even if the app no longer appears on your phone. You must explicitly cancel through your app store account settings. This is the most frequent mistake consumers make across all subscription apps.
Cancelling in the wrong app store account
If you purchased Doc Scanner using one Apple ID or Google account but attempt to cancel using a different account, your cancellation request will have no effect. Verify you are signed in to the exact account used for the original purchase. If you are uncertain which account holds the subscription, check your payment confirmation email for the account identifier.
Cancelling after the renewal charge has already processed
If you cancel one day after your renewal date, the payment has already been deducted from your account. You will retain premium access through the next renewal date, but your account has still been charged. Cancel immediately upon determining you no longer need the service to prevent unnecessary charges.
Ignoring cancellation confirmation emails
After you cancel, your app store sends a confirmation email. Archive this email for your records. If a charge appears on your account after cancellation and you need to dispute it, your confirmation email proves you cancelled on a specific date. Yafee recommends creating a cancellation folder in your email to store all subscription cancellation confirmations.
Comparing Doc Scanner alternatives before final cancellation
Before you submit your cancellation request, evaluate whether a free or lower-cost alternative better serves your document-scanning needs.
| App or tool | Cost in AUD | Core features | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doc Scanner (free tier) | Free | Basic scanning, limited OCR, email export | Light users, occasional documents |
| Microsoft Office Lens | Free | Scanning, OCR, Office integration | Users with Microsoft subscriptions |
| Adobe Acrobat Reader | Free (premium from A$15/month) | Scanning, editing, PDF creation | Professional document workflows |
| Google Drive scanning | Free (storage limited to 15 GB) | Scanning via camera, OCR, cloud storage | Budget-conscious users needing cloud access |
| Evernote | Free (premium from A$10/month) | Scanning, OCR, note-taking, sync | Users combining scanning with note organisation |
If your primary reason for cancelling is cost, test Doc Scanner's free tier first. You may discover that basic scanning covers your actual needs without premium features. Yafee emphasises that cancellation should address genuine non-use or service failure, not impulse decisions made without exploring free alternatives.
Escalation: what to do if Doc Scanner refuses to cancel
Refusal to cancel a subscription is a violation of Australian consumer law and should be escalated immediately.
Steps to take if your cancellation is rejected
- Document the date and method by which you requested cancellation (email to [email protected] or app store cancellation action).
- Retain screenshots or email confirmations proving you submitted a cancellation request.
- Wait 7 business days for a response or cancellation confirmation.
- If no response arrives or cancellation is explicitly refused, contact your payment provider (Apple, Google, or your credit card issuer) to request a chargeback or reversal of the subscription charge.
- Simultaneously lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) at accc.gov.au or call 1300 302 502.
The ACCC investigates violations of automatic renewal disclosure requirements and can compel the company to cease charging and pay restitution. Include all documentation of your cancellation attempts in your ACCC complaint. Response times typically range from 10 to 20 business days.
