Frequently asked questions
Cancel Fishbrain: The Right Way
How to cancel Fishbrain pro in malaysia and reclaim your subscription
What Fishbrain is and why malaysian users subscribe
Fishbrain is a digital fishing platform and subscription service built on maps, catch logging, weather forecasts, and a social network for anglers worldwide. The app combines fishing spot discovery with depth charts and AI-powered location intelligence, available across web and mobile devices.
For Malaysian users, Fishbrain operates as a foreign Software as a Service (SaaS) provider with no registered office in Malaysia. The service is governed by Fishbrain's terms of service and privacy policies, with customer support handled through email and web chat only. You do not interact with a Malaysian entity or local support line.
Fishbrain pro pricing and what you get
Fishbrain Pro costs RM 99.99 per year, subject to change without notice. The subscription unlocks access to 14 million catch location records, high-resolution Garmin depth charts, AI-powered fishing spot predictions, and advanced location mapping tools. The free tier allows basic catch logging and social posting, but lacks the premium map features and predictive tools included in Pro.
Many users subscribe expecting to use the app frequently, then find themselves charged for months they do not actively fish. The annual billing structure means a single oversight can cost you nearly RM 100 before you notice.
How fishbrain's freemium model creates accidental charges
Fishbrain operates a freemium subscription model with a trial-to-paid conversion path. When you sign up for a trial or upgrade to Pro, the subscription automatically renews at the end of the billing cycle unless you cancel in advance. The Terms of Service do not prominently display cancellation deadlines or make it easy to locate the cancel button.
In Malaysia, you are protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which requires traders to provide clear information about cancellation rights, charges, and renewal dates before you complete the purchase. Fishbrain's failure to highlight these terms prominently may breach your statutory rights under section 122(1)(a) of the CPA 1999, which governs unfair contract terms in distance contracts.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer protection law
As a Malaysian consumer purchasing Fishbrain Pro through a distance contract (online or app), you hold specific statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Distance Contracts Regulations 2021.
Your cancellation rights under the CPA 1999
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 section 122(1) requires that traders engaged in distance contracting (including online subscriptions) must provide you with clear, transparent information about cancellation terms before you pay. This includes the cancellation deadline, the method to cancel, and any charges that apply after cancellation.
Fishbrain's Terms of Service do not clearly state a cancellation deadline or a simple self-service cancellation method for web subscriptions. Under section 122, this omission may render the automatic renewal term unfair and unenforceable against you. If you believe Fishbrain has charged you without clear notice of your cancellation right, you may lodge a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA) or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Your statutory cooling-off period
Under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2021, you may have a cooling-off right if Fishbrain failed to provide explicit cancellation information at the point of purchase. A cooling-off period typically allows 14 days from the date of the contract to cancel without penalty, regardless of whether you used the service.
However, digital services have a carve-out: if you explicitly agreed that Fishbrain could begin provision immediately (rather than waiting 14 days), your cooling-off right may not apply. This is why your cancellation method and timing matter. If you did not clearly consent to immediate commencement, you retain a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase.
How to cancel Fishbrain pro without being charged twice
Cancellation steps depend on which platform you used to subscribe: the Fishbrain website, Apple App Store, or Google Play. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active and your card charged at the next renewal date.
Step 1: identify where you subscribed
Open your email and search for a Fishbrain receipt or confirmation email. Check your card statement for the merchant name. Look for charges labelled "Fishbrain" or "Fishbrain.com" (direct website payment), "Apple Services" (iOS App Store), or "Google Play" (Android Google Play Store). This single piece of information determines your cancellation route.
- Search your email inbox for "Fishbrain receipt" or "Fishbrain subscription".
- Review your last 3 months of card or bank statements.
- Note the exact merchant name and billing date.
- Screenshot your current Fishbrain account settings page.
Step 2: locate your next billing date and save your data
Log into your Fishbrain account on the app or website. Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Settings. Record the exact date of your next automatic renewal. This is your cancellation deadline: you must cancel before this date to avoid the next charge.
Export or manually save any fishing records, catch logs, location notes, or social posts you want to keep. Fishbrain's Terms do not guarantee data availability after cancellation, so assume your account and all saved content will be deleted or inaccessible once your subscription expires. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of any important fishing data before you proceed.
- Log into your Fishbrain account (app or web).
- Open Account or Subscription settings.
- Note the renewal date and subscription plan name.
- Screenshot or export your catch logs and location records.
- Save any messages, posts, or follower connections you value.
Step 3: cancel if you subscribed via the Fishbrain website
If your receipt shows a charge from "Fishbrain.com" or similar, you subscribed directly through Fishbrain's website. Fishbrain does not offer a self-service cancellation button on the website. Instead, you must contact Fishbrain support by email to request cancellation.
- Go to Fishbrain's official cancellation help article.
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancel Fishbrain Pro Subscription".
- Include your registered email address, account name, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect (ideally before your next renewal date).
- Attach a screenshot of your current subscription plan page and the next billing date.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation once Fishbrain processes your request.
- Allow 2-3 business days for a response; escalate to Yafee or your payment provider if you receive no reply within 5 business days.
Step 4: cancel if you subscribed via apple app store (iOS)
If your receipt shows "Apple" or "Apple Services" as the merchant, you subscribed through the iOS App Store and must cancel through Apple's account settings, not through Fishbrain.
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find "Fishbrain" in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Fishbrain Pro" and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Choose your cancellation reason (optional) and confirm.
- Wait for Apple's confirmation email stating your subscription has been cancelled and no further charges will apply.
Apple processes cancellations immediately and applies them before your next billing date. You retain access to Fishbrain Pro until your current subscription period expires.
Step 5: cancel if you subscribed via google play (Android)
If your receipt shows "Google Play" or "Google Services" as the merchant, you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device. Cancel through Google Play, not through Fishbrain.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and Subscriptions".
- Choose "Subscriptions".
- Find "Fishbrain" in your active subscriptions.
- Tap "Fishbrain Pro" and select "Cancel Subscription".
- Confirm the cancellation reason and choose "Cancel Subscription" again.
- Check your email for Google's cancellation confirmation within 24 hours.
Google Play cancels immediately, and no further charges occur after your current subscription period ends. You may continue using Fishbrain Pro until your paid period expires.
What happens after you cancel your Fishbrain subscription
Cancellation does not mean instant loss of access. You retain full Fishbrain Pro features until your current billing period ends. After the expiration date, your account reverts to the free tier.
Timeline and account access after cancellation
From the moment you submit a cancellation request (via email, Apple App Store, or Google Play), Fishbrain marks your subscription as "cancelled" in its system. Your Pro features remain active until midnight on your current renewal date. On the day after your renewal date passes, your account automatically downgrades to the free version.
You can still log into Fishbrain and access your public profile and catch logs under the free tier. However, you lose access to premium features: depth charts, AI spot predictions, and advanced map tools disappear. Yafee advises screenshotting any important data during the grace period between cancellation submission and account downgrade.
Refunds and the non-refundable subscription rule
Fishbrain Pro subscriptions are non-refundable once purchased, according to Fishbrain's Terms of Service. This means if you cancel mid-year, Fishbrain will not refund your annual RM 99.99 fee. Nevertheless, under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you may have grounds to dispute this if Fishbrain failed to provide clear cancellation information at purchase.
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and you did not explicitly agree to immediate service commencement, you may request a refund under the cooling-off right in the Distance Contracts Regulations 2021. Contact [email protected] with your original purchase date, receipt, and a request for refund eligibility under the CPA 1999 cooling-off period.
Escalation if Fishbrain refuses to cancel or refund
If Fishbrain does not respond to your cancellation email within 5 business days, or if you believe your cancellation request was ignored and you are still charged, escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNKK) or the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA).
Lodge a formal complaint under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 section 142, stating that Fishbrain engaged in unfair contract practices by failing to provide clear cancellation terms. Include copies of your cancellation request email, your bank or card statement showing the unauthorized charge, and Fishbrain's response (or lack thereof). The KPDNKK has authority to investigate and mandate refunds or service restoration.

Common mistakes when cancelling Fishbrain and how to avoid them
Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward, yet most Fishbrain users make one or two critical errors that leave them charged for months longer than intended. Understanding these traps protects your money and your time.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
The single most common error is submitting a cancellation request to Fishbrain support when you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, or vice versa. Fishbrain's support team cannot cancel an app store subscription; only Apple or Google can process that cancellation. Similarly, Apple and Google cannot cancel a direct Fishbrain.com subscription.
Your cancellation request goes into the void, no one acts on it, and your card is charged at the next renewal. Always confirm your merchant name first. If unsure, contact Fishbrain support and explicitly ask which platform processed your payment before you cancel.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to the renewal date
If you submit a web cancellation email to [email protected] on the same day as your renewal date, Fishbrain may process the renewal charge before processing your cancellation request. You are then charged, and your request to cancel arrives "too late".
To avoid this, submit your cancellation email at least 5 business days (1 week) before your renewal date. For Apple App Store and Google Play, cancellations take effect immediately, so you have more flexibility, but still act with 2-3 days' buffer to be safe.
Mistake 3: assuming your data survives cancellation
Fishbrain's Terms do not promise that your catch logs, location notes, or social posts will remain accessible after your subscription expires. Many users cancel and later want to recover their fishing records, only to find the data deleted or locked behind a re-subscription.
Before you cancel, export or screenshot all important data. Yafee recommends downloading your catch logs, saving location coordinates, and backing up any custom notes. Treat cancellation as a permanent account reset unless Fishbrain explicitly confirms data retention in writing.
Mistake 4: not requesting written confirmation
If you cancel via email, Fishbrain support may reply with an informal confirmation message that does not serve as proof if a dispute arises later. Request explicit written confirmation that states your account email, the cancellation date, the effective date, and a statement that "no further charges will apply after [date]".
Forward this confirmation to your own email and save it indefinitely. If Fishbrain charges you again after this confirmation, you have evidence that supports your complaint to the KPDNKK or your payment provider for a chargeback.
When to cancel Fishbrain and when to keep it
| Reason | Cancel Fishbrain Pro | Keep Fishbrain Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Fishing frequency | You fish fewer than 2 times per month | You fish weekly or more |
| Map usage | You use free online maps or your own local knowledge | You rely on depth charts and AI spot predictions |
| Cost vs benefit | RM 99.99 per year feels expensive relative to your usage | You value premium features and use them regularly |
| Social engagement | You do not post catches or interact with other anglers | You actively share and follow fishing communities |
| Device switching | You use multiple devices and struggle to manage subscriptions across platforms | You use one consistent device (phone or web) |

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling Fishbrain Pro in Malaysia requires you to identify which platform processed your payment, submit a cancellation request through the correct channel, and preserve written confirmation. Your cancellation must be submitted before your renewal date to avoid double charges.
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, Fishbrain is required to provide clear cancellation terms and enforce your statutory rights to cancel without penalty. If the company fails to do so, or if you are charged despite a valid cancellation request, the KPDNKK has authority to investigate and order a refund.
