Frequently asked questions
Cancel MyFitnessPal: The Right Way
How to cancel MyFitnessPal in ireland and stop recurring charges
What is MyFitnessPal and why irish users cancel
MyFitnessPal is one of the world's most widely used nutrition and fitness tracking applications, serving millions of users across meal logging, calorie monitoring, macronutrient tracking, and activity syncing. The app operates on a freemium model: you access basic food and exercise logging at no cost, while Premium and Premium Plus tiers unlock ad-free use, advanced nutrition analytics, barcode scanning, meal planning, and AI-powered coaching features.
Many Irish users subscribe to MyFitnessPal Premium or Premium Plus with genuine enthusiasm, only to find the ongoing monthly or annual charges no longer align with their fitness goals or budget. Yafee understands that fitness tools are deeply personal-what serves one person's needs may frustrate another. You may have discovered the app's constant upgrade prompts intrusive, or realised a simpler free alternative suits your routine better. Whatever your reason, your right to cancel is absolute, and this guide will walk you through the exact steps to stop charges immediately.
Subscription tiers and pricing in ireland
MyFitnessPal offers three distinct subscription levels available to Irish users, each with different cost and feature sets.
| Plan | Cost (Ireland) | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | Basic food and exercise logging, community forums, recipe database | Casual users, budget-conscious trackers |
| Premium | €12-18 per month | Ad-free interface, advanced nutrition breakdown, barcode scanning, meal history | Most popular choice for serious users |
| Premium Plus | €16-22 per month | Everything in Premium, plus custom meal plans, grocery lists, AI coaching, recipe adjustments | Meal planners, users wanting structured AI guidance |
Prices fluctuate by region, purchase channel (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or MyFitnessPal's website), and billing cycle (monthly versus annual). Irish subscribers frequently notice pricing variations depending on where they signed up. Before you proceed with cancellation, identify which platform you used to subscribe-this determines your exact cancellation pathway and affects your refund eligibility under Irish consumer law.
Common reasons irish users decide to cancel
You may be considering cancellation for several legitimate reasons. Premium features might not deliver the value you anticipated, or you find the relentless notifications and upgrade prompts disruptive to your experience. Perhaps you have shifted to a simpler tracking method, started working with a personal trainer or registered dietitian, or switched to a lower-cost competitor that meets your specific needs. Some users lose momentum with food tracking after several months and no longer wish to sustain recurring charges. Whatever your motivation, Yafee empowers you to cancel with confidence, ensuring no hidden charges linger on your payment card.
Your consumer rights when cancelling in ireland
Irish and EU consumer protection law provides you with robust safeguards when managing subscriptions and recurring payments.
Your legal position under irish law
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, you hold the right to cancel a subscription within 14 calendar days of initial purchase without stating a reason-this statutory window is called the "cooling-off period." Following that 14-day window, MyFitnessPal may enforce their standard cancellation process, but they cannot deliberately hide, obstruct, or complicate the cancellation mechanism. Irish law mandates that subscription terms, including price, billing frequency, and cancellation method, must be transparent and clearly displayed before you commit to purchase. If MyFitnessPal failed to provide this information, or if they charged you without explicit consent, you have grounds to lodge a formal complaint with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC)-Ireland's primary consumer enforcement authority.
What happens if MyFitnessPal refuses to cancel
If you submit a cancellation request and MyFitnessPal ignores it or disputes your request, document every communication you send. Retain screenshots of your subscription confirmation, cancellation request, and any response or lack thereof. Should MyFitnessPal continue charging you, contact your bank or payment provider (Apple, Google, or your card issuer) and dispute the unauthorised charge. You can simultaneously file a formal complaint with the CCPC at www.ccpc.ie or by telephone at 01 402 5555. The CCPC investigates breaches of consumer law and can compel companies to refund consumers and cease illegal practices. Yafee recommends keeping all documentation for a minimum of two years.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal on iOS devices
If you subscribed to MyFitnessPal Premium or Premium Plus through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, follow these platform-specific steps.
Step 1: open the settings application
Navigate to the Settings application on your iPhone or iPad home screen. This is where Apple centralises all subscription and account management.
Step 2: access your apple ID account settings
Tap your name or Apple ID banner at the top of the Settings menu. This opens your personal Apple account dashboard.
Step 3: navigate to subscriptions
Select "Subscriptions" from the list of options. This page displays all active and recently cancelled subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
Step 4: select MyFitnessPal from the subscription list
Locate "MyFitnessPal" in your subscriptions list and tap it. You will see details of your current plan, renewal date, and price.
Step 5: initiate cancellation
Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel" (wording varies by iOS version). A confirmation prompt will appear asking why you are cancelling-this feedback is optional but helps Apple and MyFitnessPal improve their service.
Step 6: confirm cancellation
Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Yes, Cancel Subscription." Your cancellation becomes effective at the end of your current billing cycle, and no further charges will occur.
Once you complete these steps, Apple sends a confirmation email to the address linked to your Apple ID. Your access to Premium features continues until your billing date passes. After that date, MyFitnessPal reverts you to the free tier automatically.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal on android devices
If you purchased your MyFitnessPal subscription through the Google Play Store on an Android phone or tablet, use this method.
Step 1: open the google play store
Launch the Google Play Store application from your Android device's home screen or app drawer.
Step 2: access your account menu
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the Play Store home screen, or tap your profile icon in the top-right corner, depending on your Android version. Select "Manage my subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions."
Step 3: locate MyFitnessPal in your active subscriptions
Browse the list of active subscriptions and tap "MyFitnessPal" to open your subscription details page.
Step 4: cancel your subscription
Tap the "Cancel subscription" button. Google Play may display a brief survey asking for cancellation reasons; this is optional.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation
Review the final confirmation screen and tap "Yes, cancel" to finalize your request. Google sends a confirmation email to your registered Google account address.
Your Premium access remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. Google Play does not prorate refunds for mid-cycle cancellations unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period or meet specific consumer law conditions outlined below.
How to cancel MyFitnessPal subscriptions purchased directly
If you subscribed to MyFitnessPal through the company's own website (rather than Apple App Store or Google Play), you must cancel via their account portal.
Step 1: log into your MyFitnessPal account
Visit the MyFitnessPal website (www.myfitnesspal.com) and sign in using your email address and password.
Step 2: navigate to account settings
Once logged in, locate your profile menu, usually found in the top-right corner. Select "Settings" or "Account Settings."
Step 3: find the subscription or billing section
Look for "Subscription," "Membership," "Billing," or "Payment Methods" in your account settings menu. This section displays your current subscription status and renewal date.
Step 4: select your active subscription
Click on your current plan (Premium or Premium Plus) to view full details and cancellation options.
Step 5: initiate cancellation
Click "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership." MyFitnessPal will ask for feedback on your cancellation reasons; you may provide this or skip the survey.
Step 6: confirm and receive cancellation confirmation
Confirm your final cancellation request. MyFitnessPal sends a confirmation email to your registered email address. Your Premium access ends at the close of your current billing period, and no further charges will appear on your payment method.
Direct-website subscriptions sometimes offer a brief retention offer before final cancellation-typically a discount to keep you subscribed. You may accept or decline; if you decline, your cancellation proceeds immediately.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on how long you have held your subscription and which purchase channel you used.
Refund eligibility within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase, Irish and EU consumer law entitles you to a full refund, regardless of how much you have used the premium features. Submit your cancellation request in writing (email is sufficient) to MyFitnessPal's support team and explicitly state that you are exercising your statutory right to cancel within the cooling-off period. Yafee recommends keeping a copy of this email for your records. MyFitnessPal must process your refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request.
Refunds after 14 days
Once the 14-day cooling-off period expires, refunds are not automatic under Irish law. However, if MyFitnessPal charged you without clear prior consent, or if their cancellation process was deliberately obstructed, you retain grounds to request a refund and escalate to the CCPC if refused. Additionally, if you cancel mid-billing cycle and your subscription terms promise pro-rata refunds, MyFitnessPal must honour that commitment.
Timeline for receiving your refund
If you qualify for a refund, expect the funds to appear in your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. If you paid via Apple App Store or Google Play, the refund goes back to your associated Apple ID or Google account balance, not directly to your bank card. Contact your bank if a refund does not appear within 10 business days and ask them to trace the payment on their end.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling MyFitnessPal
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, and Yafee wants to ensure you navigate it without unnecessary stress or surprise charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling only the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting the MyFitnessPal app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription persists in your Apple or Google account and will continue to charge you. You must explicitly cancel the subscription through Settings (iOS) or Google Play (Android) or through MyFitnessPal's website. Only after you complete these steps does the recurring charge stop.
Mistake 2: missing the 14-day cooling-off window
The statutory 14-day refund period begins on the day you made your purchase, not the day you first used the app. If you realise you do not want the subscription within this window, cancel immediately and explicitly reference the cooling-off period in your cancellation request. After day 14, your refund rights are significantly limited.
Mistake 3: not checking your billing date
If you cancel shortly before your renewal date, charges may still appear in your account. Cancellation typically takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. Check your last invoice or confirmation email to confirm your exact renewal date. If you are charged after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider and dispute the charge as unauthorised.
Mistake 4: forgetting to save cancellation confirmation
Always screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation email from MyFitnessPal, Apple, or Google. If a charge reappears on your account after cancellation, you will need this proof to dispute it with your bank. Yafee advises storing these confirmations in a dedicated folder or cloud service for two years.
Mistake 5: ignoring cancellation during the cooling-off period
If you subscribed but have yet to use the premium features, do not wait. Submit your cancellation within 14 days and explicitly invoke your cooling-off right. You lose this protection once the 14-day window closes, and obtaining a refund becomes far more difficult.
What happens after you cancel MyFitnessPal
Cancellation is final, but understanding what occurs next prevents confusion or unexpected limitations on your account.
Access to premium features
After your billing cycle ends, you lose access to all Premium and Premium Plus features immediately. The app reverts you to the free tier, which includes basic food and exercise logging, community forums, and the recipe database but excludes ad-free browsing, advanced analytics, barcode scanning, and AI coaching.
Your data and saved meals
Cancellation does not delete your account or data. All your logged meals, exercise records, and custom recipes remain in your account under the free tier. You can reactivate a Premium subscription at any time, and your historical data will be available again. If you wish to export your data before cancellation, use MyFitnessPal's data export feature (found in Settings) to download your nutrition and activity logs as a backup.
Notifications and promotional emails
After cancellation, MyFitnessPal typically sends promotional emails encouraging you to resubscribe, often with a discounted first month offer. These emails are normal marketing practice. You may unsubscribe from promotional communications through the email itself or by updating your notification settings in the MyFitnessPal app.
Re-subscribing or downgrading
You retain the ability to resubscribe to Premium or Premium Plus at any time using the same method (Apple, Google, or MyFitnessPal's website). If you wish to keep your account but reduce costs, consider using the free tier instead, which provides functional meal and exercise tracking without premium analytics.
Pricing comparison and whether you should cancel
Before finalising your cancellation, compare MyFitnessPal's cost against the value you derive and alternative options available in Ireland.
| Service | Cost (Ireland) | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyFitnessPal Free | €0 | Basic logging, community, recipes | Budget users, casual trackers |
| MyFitnessPal Premium | €12-18/month | Ad-free, advanced analytics, barcode scan | Serious trackers wanting detail |
| Cronometer | €8-12/month | Detailed micronutrient tracking, barcode scanning | Health-conscious users, supplement trackers |
| Lose It! | €10-15/month | Calorie tracking, goal setting, recipe suggestions | Weight loss focused users |
| Strong Habit Tracker | €4-8/month | Habit and fitness logging (minimal nutrition) | Routine builders, non-food trackers |
If you use MyFitnessPal purely for basic meal logging, the free tier provides identical functionality and eliminates recurring costs. If premium analytics appeal to you but MyFitnessPal's cost is prohibitive, trial a lower-cost alternative like Cronometer or Lose It! for one month. However, if you genuinely use advanced features such as custom meal planning, barcode scanning, or AI coaching, Premium may represent fair value. Evaluate your actual usage over the past three months: if you open the app fewer than three times weekly, cancellation likely makes financial sense.
Steps to take if MyFitnessPal continues charging after cancellation
In rare instances, MyFitnessPal or your payment processor may continue charging you despite a confirmed cancellation request. Yafee provides clear escalation steps.
Step 1: verify your cancellation status
Log into your MyFitnessPal account or your Apple/Google account and confirm that your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription." If the system still lists you as subscribed, your cancellation did not process; repeat the cancellation steps from the relevant section above.
Step 2: contact MyFitnessPal support in writing
Email MyFitnessPal's support team at [email protected] and clearly state: "I cancelled my subscription on [date], but I have been charged again on [date]. Please confirm cancellation and process a refund for this unauthorised charge." Include screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the unexpected charge. Request a written response within 10 business days.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider
If MyFitnessPal does not respond within 10 days or refuses to refund an unauthorised charge, contact your bank, Apple, or Google and file a formal dispute (also called a "chargeback"). Provide your cancellation confirmation and MyFitnessPal's unresponsiveness as evidence. Your financial institution will investigate and reverse the charge if it determines the charge was unauthorised or you fulfilled your cancellation obligation.
Step 4: escalate to the CCPC if necessary
If your bank dispute is unsuccessful or MyFitnessPal disputes your case, lodge a formal complaint with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. Contact the CCPC by visiting www.ccpc.ie, telephoning 01 402 5555, or writing to their Dublin office. Provide your cancellation evidence, bank dispute details, and a clear description of the issue. The CCPC can compel MyFitnessPal to refund you and impose penalties for violations of Irish consumer law.
Cancellation checklist and final steps
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and you avoid future surprise charges.
- Identify your subscription platform: Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or MyFitnessPal's website
- Check the current date and confirm whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period (full refund eligibility)
- Note your next renewal date from your latest invoice or confirmation email
- Complete the platform-specific cancellation steps outlined above
- Screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation email
- Verify that your subscription status changes to "Cancelled" or "No active subscription" within 24 hours
- If within the 14-day cooling-off period, email MyFitnessPal explicitly requesting a refund under the cooling-off provision
- Set a phone reminder for one week after your renewal date to confirm no additional charge appears on your card
- If an unexpected charge occurs, dispute it immediately with your bank, with your cancellation confirmation as proof
- Keep all cancellation confirmations and correspondence for two years
Summary: take control of your MyFitnessPal subscription now
Cancelling your MyFitnessPal Premium or Premium Plus subscription is a straightforward process once you understand which platform you used and the precise steps. Whether you subscribed via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or MyFitnessPal's website, your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and all subsequent charges cease. You retain full legal protection under the Consumer Rights Act 2015: a 14-day cooling-off period entitles you to a full refund, and if MyFitnessPal obstructs cancellation or charges you without consent, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission enforces your rights.
Before cancelling, assess whether the Premium features deliver genuine value to your fitness routine. The free tier provides adequate meal and exercise logging for casual users, while paid tiers unlock advanced analytics and AI coaching for committed trackers. If you decide to proceed with cancellation, follow the platform-specific steps provided above, save your confirmation email, and monitor your account for two weeks post-renewal to ensure no rogue charges appear.
