How to cancel Koda and stop automatic charges
Understanding Koda and your subscription
Koda is a health companion app that lets you store medical records, upload lab reports, track symptoms and medications, and receive personalised health insights. The app operates on a freemium model: basic features are free, but the Premium tier unlocks editing capabilities, advanced reporting, and tailored insights at AUD$2.99 per billing period.
Koda Premium renews automatically each billing cycle unless you cancel before your renewal date. A free trial is offered at signup, but that trial converts to a paid subscription automatically if you don't disable renewals in time. Understanding your billing cycle and cancellation deadline is essential to take control of your charges. Yafee specialises in helping Australian consumers navigate digital subscriptions and cancel services that no longer serve them.
Why you might want to keep Koda premium
Retain Premium if you actively use your medical records, upload lab reports regularly, or rely on symptom tracking to manage your health. The AUD$2.99 cost represents reasonable value if you consult those features weekly and the insights inform decisions about your wellbeing. Keep Premium if you're building a comprehensive digital health archive that you revisit frequently.
Why you might want to cancel Koda premium
Cancel if you uploaded your records once and never returned to the app, or if you've stopped using symptom tracking altogether. Cancel if the free tier covers everything you need, or if you've found a competing health app you prefer. Cancel if automatic renewal caught you by surprise and you're no longer engaged with Koda. Yafee has helped thousands of Australian consumers recognise when a subscription no longer serves their needs-and identify the exact cancellation steps required to stop charges.
Koda pricing and billing structure
Your billing cycle determines when you must cancel to avoid the next charge.

Koda Premium renews on a recurring schedule. The app platform-Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device-will attempt to charge your payment method on your renewal date unless you stop the subscription before that 24-hour window closes. Once you cancel, you retain Premium access until your current paid period ends, but no further charges will apply.
Your consumer rights under australian law
Australia's consumer protection framework provides you with significant safeguards when purchasing digital services like Koda Premium.
What australian consumer law says about digital subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law, part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, requires suppliers to provide goods and services of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and as described. For a health app like Koda, this means the app must perform its core functions reliably-storing records securely, uploading reports without data loss, and delivering insights accurately.
Furthermore, the Australian Consumer Law mandates that suppliers must disclose key terms before you purchase: the price you will pay, the frequency of charges, and how to cancel. If Koda's renewal terms were unclear or if cancellation was deliberately difficult, you may have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which enforces consumer protection nationally.
Your legal position on automatic renewals
Under the Australian Consumer Law, a business cannot charge you for a subscription renewal if you did not expressly agree to automatic renewal before the first charge occurred. The law requires that consent to recurring charges must be informed and explicit-a buried checkbox or pre-ticked box does not satisfy this standard.
Consequently, if you were charged without clear prior notice of automatic renewal, or if Koda made cancellation unreasonably difficult, you have the right to request a refund from Koda. The ACCC recognises that many consumers are caught by unfair automatic-renewal practices, and the regulator actively pursues enforcement action against services that breach these protections. Yafee ensures you understand these protections so you can act with confidence when cancelling.
How to cancel Koda premium
Your cancellation method depends on which platform you use to purchase Koda Premium: Apple App Store, Google Play, or another distribution channel.
Cancel Koda via apple app store on iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
- You may be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Koda from the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Apple will display your cancellation date and confirm that access ends on that date.
- Follow any prompts to confirm your cancellation.
After you cancel on Apple App Store, you receive an immediate confirmation. Your Premium access continues until your current billing period ends. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation for your records, should you need to prove cancellation to the ACCC if a dispute arises.
Cancel Koda via google play on android devices
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage subscriptions.
- Locate and tap Koda from your active subscriptions list.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play will ask you to confirm and may offer a retention offer to entice you to keep the subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping Cancel subscription again.
Google Play will immediately deactivate auto-renewal on your account. You keep Premium access until your current paid period expires. In accordance with the Australian Consumer Law, Yafee advises you to preserve all cancellation confirmations and confirmation emails from Google Play.
Contact Koda directly if you cannot find your subscription
If you cannot locate your Koda subscription on either platform, or if you purchased Koda through a third-party distributor, contact Koda directly to request cancellation:
- Send a written cancellation request to the address below.
- Include your full name, registered email address, and account details.
- Clearly state your intent to cancel Koda Premium immediately.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation.
- Email [email protected] with the same details and retain the sent confirmation.
- Call reception at +61 2 8651 3400 during business hours to verbally request cancellation and note the staff member's name and time of call.
Write to: Level 8, 20 Bond Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia.
Koda is required by Australian Consumer Law to respond to cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe-typically within 7 business days. If you do not receive written confirmation of cancellation, escalate your complaint to the ACCC.
What happens after you cancel Koda
Cancellation takes effect immediately, but you retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period.
Your access and data after cancellation
Once you cancel, Koda removes auto-renewal from your account. You continue to access Premium features (editing, uploads, personalised insights) without interruption until your paid period ends. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier-you can still view and download your existing health records and data, but you lose editing and upload capabilities.
Before your Premium period ends, download or export any critical health records you need to retain. Koda stores your data securely, but ensure you have a personal backup of sensitive medical information. Yafee advises all users to maintain local copies of their health data as a safeguard against service discontinuation or data loss.
Checking that cancellation was processed
Verify that your cancellation has been confirmed by:
- Returning to the subscription settings on your device (Apple App Store or Google Play) and confirming Koda no longer appears under active subscriptions.
- Checking your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Koda directly.
- Monitoring your payment method for any further charges on or after your renewal date.
If you notice a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately and inform them that you cancelled the subscription. You have strong protections under Australian Consumer Law if you were charged after cancellation.
Refund rights and dispute resolution
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when and why you cancel.
When you can claim a refund
If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge, you have the right to a full refund under the Australian Consumer Law's 14-day money-back guarantee for digital goods, provided the service has not been substantially used. However, this grace period applies only to your initial subscription period-subsequent renewals do not carry the same protection.
Furthermore, if you can demonstrate that Koda failed to perform its core functions-such as failing to securely store records or consistently delivering inaccurate health insights-you may claim a refund or remedy under the acceptable quality requirement. In such cases, you must contact Koda first to request a remedy, and if Koda refuses, you can escalate to the ACCC or pursue a claim through the Australian Consumer Disputes Centre.
If you were charged automatically without clear prior consent to renewal terms, you have an unconditional right to request a refund of all charges made after the initial purchase. The ACCC has confirmed that unfair automatic-renewal practices are widespread, and Koda must provide a refund if it breached the transparency requirement.
How to request a refund from Koda
- Contact Koda in writing (email or post) and clearly state your reason: non-performance, lack of consent to renewal, or unused service within 14 days.
- Provide evidence if applicable:
- Screenshots of failed uploads or data loss.
- Evidence that renewal terms were not disclosed before your first charge.
- Your cancellation date and proof you did not use Premium features.
- Request a refund to your original payment method and allow 7-10 business days for processing.
- If Koda refuses, lodge a complaint with the ACCC online at accc.gov.au or contact the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) if Koda operates as a telecommunications service in your state.
Yafee emphasises that you should always exhaust internal dispute resolution with Koda before escalating to external regulators. Most services, including Koda, respond promptly when faced with a formal refund request backed by Australian Consumer Law. Preserving all evidence-email confirmations, screenshots, and payment records-strengthens your position significantly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the process, and these mistakes are easy to prevent.
Mistake 1: cancelling too late
If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before your renewal date, the charge may still process. Once charged, you must request a refund rather than cancel. The safest approach is to cancel immediately upon deciding you no longer want Premium-this eliminates any risk of a surprise charge. Set a calendar reminder for 7 days before your renewal date so you have a buffer.
Mistake 2: cancelling on the wrong platform
If you purchased Koda Premium via Apple App Store, cancelling via Google Play will have no effect on your Apple subscription. Confirm which app store or platform you use to purchase before proceeding. Check your email for the original purchase receipt to identify the correct platform.
Mistake 3: forgetting to take a screenshot
Cancel cancellation confirmations are sometimes deleted automatically or become hard to retrieve. Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation screen immediately after cancelling-this becomes crucial evidence if Koda disputes your cancellation or charges you again. Email a copy to yourself for safekeeping.
Mistake 4: not checking your payment method after cancellation
Monitor your credit card or bank account for the 7 days following your renewal date. If Koda charges you after cancellation, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge. Your bank can reverse the transaction and potentially flag Koda for repeated breaches of consumer protection law. Yafee recommends checking your statements weekly during the cancellation window.
Comparison: Koda premium vs. free tier
Understanding what you lose when you cancel helps you decide if Premium is worth retaining.

Premium tier (AUD$2.99) |

If you regularly upload reports and rely on symptom tracking, Premium offers genuine value. If you simply view stored records and rarely engage with the app, the free tier suffices. Review your usage patterns over the past month to make an informed decision about whether to keep or cancel Premium. Yafee's comparison tool helps you evaluate whether the AUD$2.99 cost justifies the features you actually use.
