How to cancel NGL and stop paying for unwanted pro features
What is NGL and why you might want to cancel
NGL is a social messaging app that lets you collect anonymous feedback by sharing a unique link on social media. The service offers both free and paid tiers, with NGL Pro featuring extras like sender hints, exclusive games, and early access to new features. The subscription renews automatically each billing cycle unless you actively cancel, which means ongoing charges continue until you take action.
If you no longer use the app, find the hints unhelpful, or object to aggressive upgrade prompts, cancelling stops your payments immediately. Many Australian users cancel because the novelty fades or the paid features don't deliver as promised. Yafee has guided thousands of Australian consumers through subscription cancellations, and NGL is straightforward once you follow the correct procedure.
NGL pricing and subscription tiers
NGL offers multiple subscription options with varying features and billing cycles. The table below shows typical Australian dollar (AUD) pricing; app stores apply country-specific rates and taxes, so always verify the exact amount charged to you.
| Plan |
Features included |
Typical price (AUD) |
| Free |
Basic anonymous messages, core features only |
Free |
| Monthly Pro |
Hints about senders, Pro-only content, early feature access |
A$9.00 per month |
| Annual Pro |

A$30.00 per year |
| Premium bundles |
Weekly passes, exclusive premium content |
A$45.00 and up |
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel beforehand. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not directly with NGL.
Common reasons australians cancel NGL
Users frequently report that paid hints fail to reveal sender details as expected, in-app purchase prompts feel aggressive, and messages appear automated rather than authentic. The novelty often wears off quickly, making the ongoing cost unjustifiable.
Some cancel because they feel misled about feature quality or billing transparency. If you believe NGL has breached consumer guarantees, document your concerns before cancelling; you may qualify for a refund under Australian Consumer Law.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law gives you enforceable protections when purchasing digital services like NGL Pro.
What the competition and consumer act 2010 guarantees
Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, you have the right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase if you change your mind, provided the service has not been fully delivered. For ongoing NGL Pro subscriptions, this means you can request cancellation and a potential refund within 14 days of your initial payment.
Furthermore, if NGL fails to deliver features as described (broken hints, poor functionality, or safety issues), you are entitled to a refund or credit under the Australian Consumer Law guarantees of acceptable quality and fitness for purpose. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces these rights.
Your legal position
You hold a strong position under Australian law. NGL must deliver the service as advertised. If hints don't work, the app crashes frequently, or features are missing, you can request a refund up to 14 days after purchase, and potentially beyond if the service breaches consumer guarantees. Keep all receipts, screenshots, and correspondence as evidence. If NGL refuses to respond, escalate to the ACCC or your state's fair trading office.
How to cancel NGL and stop recurring charges
Cancellation varies depending on whether you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play, or another method.
Cancel NGL on the apple app store (iPhone and iPad)
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Scroll down and tap Subscriptions.
- Find and select NGL from your active subscriptions list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice.
- Apple will display a final reminder; select Confirm Cancellation.
- Your subscription ends at the next billing date; you retain access until then.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple within 24 hours.
- Verify the cancellation in Settings > Subscriptions to ensure NGL no longer appears as active.
Cancel NGL on google play (Android)

- Select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Find NGL and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- Google will ask for a reason; select one if prompted.
- Your access ends at the next billing cycle; you can use NGL free features until then.
- Confirm the cancellation by checking Subscriptions again; NGL should no longer list as active.
Cancel NGL via registered mail (written request)
If you need a formal record or dispute resolution, send a written cancellation request by registered mail. This creates proof of delivery and is especially useful if NGL continues charging after cancellation.
- Prepare your written request in English.
- Include your full name, email address, and NGL account details (username or linked email).
- State clearly: "I request cancellation of my NGL subscription effective immediately."
- Include the date and any payment reference numbers from your receipts.
- Send the letter by registered mail to the cancellation address published by NGL.
- Request a signed proof of delivery.
- Keep a photocopy of your letter and the registered mail receipt.
- NGL must respond within 14 days confirming cancellation.
- If they fail to respond, follow up via email or phone using your registered mail proof as evidence.
- Retain all correspondence; you will need it if you lodge a complaint with the ACCC.
Cancel NGL via email (backup method)
Email cancellation is less formal than registered mail but faster if NGL provides a cancellation email address.
- Compose an email to the published NGL support or cancellation address.
- Use a subject line such as "NGL Subscription Cancellation Request."
- Include your full name, account email, and a clear cancellation statement.
- Send the email and request a read receipt.
- Do not rely on email alone if NGL ignores your request; escalate to registered mail.
- Keep the email and any replies as evidence for refund claims.
Request a refund after cancellation
Cancellation stops future charges, but you may be entitled to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase or if NGL breached consumer guarantees.
Refund eligibility under australian law
You qualify for a refund if you cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase, provided the service has not been fully delivered or consumed. For monthly or annual renewals after the 14-day window, you do not automatically qualify for a refund unless the service is defective.
However, if NGL's hints don't work, the app crashes, or features don't match the description, you can claim a refund under the acceptable quality guarantee, regardless of how long you have subscribed. The ACCC supports this position.
How to request a refund
- Contact NGL support in writing (registered mail or email) with your refund request.
- Explain why you believe the service is defective (hints don't work, app crashes, features missing).
- Include your payment date, amount charged, and any evidence (screenshots, error messages).
- Ask for a full or partial refund and state your preferred method (app store credit or bank refund).
- If NGL refuses or does not respond within 14 days, contact your app store (Apple or Google) directly.
- Apple and Google allow refund requests within 90 days; submit yours through their support channels.
- Explain the defect and reference your NGL support correspondence.
- If the app store refuses, lodge a complaint with the ACCC or your state fair trading office.
- Provide copies of all receipts, emails, and evidence of the defect.
- The regulator will investigate and may force NGL to refund you.
What happens after you cancel NGL
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle; you retain access to paid features until that date. After the cycle ends, your account reverts to the free tier unless you resubscribe.
Access and data after cancellation
Once your subscription expires, you lose access to Pro features (hints, exclusive content, early access). Your account and message history remain on NGL's servers unless you delete your account separately. If you want to erase all personal data, contact NGL support and request account deletion under Australian Privacy Act requirements.
Reactivating your subscription
If you change your mind, you can resubscribe to NGL at any time through your app store. Your previous settings and contacts typically restore, but you start a new billing cycle immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling NGL
Cancellation is simple, but a few common errors can cause delays or unexpected charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription
Deleting the NGL app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The automatic renewal continues, and NGL continues charging you every month or year. You must cancel through your app store settings (Apple or Google), not by removing the app.
Mistake 2: waiting until after the billing date
If you wait until after your subscription renews, you incur another full charge. Cancel at least one day before your renewal date. Check your app store account to confirm the exact renewal date, usually listed in your subscription details.
Mistake 3: not keeping evidence of cancellation
If NGL continues charging after you cancel, you need proof that you requested cancellation. Take screenshots of your app store subscription page showing "Cancel" or "Cancelled," save email confirmations, and keep registered mail receipts. Without proof, disputing the charge becomes difficult.
Mistake 4: assuming email cancellation is enough
NGL support may not reply to cancellation emails, or your email may go to spam. If you cancel via email and NGL continues charging, escalate to registered mail or contact the app store directly. In Australia, companies are required to acknowledge and process cancellation requests within 14 days; silence is not acceptable.
Comparing cancellation and retention options
Before you cancel, consider whether downgrading or pausing your subscription might suit you better.

If you're cancelling because of cost, switching to the annual plan saves you money. If you're cancelling because of broken features or poor value, proceed with full cancellation and consider requesting a refund.
Escalating complaints if NGL ignores your cancellation
NGL must honour cancellation requests within 14 days and must stop charging you after that deadline. If they ignore your request, you have formal recourse.
Step 1: contact the app store, not NGL
If NGL continues charging after you cancel through your app store, contact Apple or Google directly. Both platforms allow you to dispute charges and request refunds. Provide screenshots of your cancellation request and the unwanted charges.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the ACCC
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) investigates unfair billing and subscription practices. File a complaint online at accc.gov.au if NGL refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request. Include all correspondence, receipts, and proof of cancellation.
Step 3: report to your state fair trading office
Your state or territory has a fair trading office (for example, NSW Office of Fair Trading, Consumer Affairs Victoria) that handles consumer disputes. They can force NGL to issue a refund and may impose penalties for breaching consumer law.
Step 4: request a chargeback via your bank
If NGL charges you after cancellation, contact your bank and dispute the transaction as an unauthorised recurring charge. Provide your cancellation proof; your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge. This is your last resort but is effective.
Protecting yourself and building cancellation evidence
Yafee recommends gathering proof before and during cancellation to strengthen your position if disputes arise.
Documentation to collect
- Payment receipts from your app store (Apple or Google).
- Screenshot your subscription page showing the renewal date and amount charged.
- Save emails from your app store confirming each purchase.
- Screenshots of your cancellation request.
- Photograph your app store subscription page after you tap "Cancel."
- Capture any confirmation messages or dates.
- Email confirmations from NGL (if applicable).
- Save all replies from NGL support about cancellation.
- If none arrive, document the date and time you sent your email.
- Registered mail receipts.
- Keep the proof of delivery from Australia Post.
- File this with your other cancellation evidence.
This documentation gives you leverage if you need to escalate to the ACCC or dispute a charge with your bank.
