How to cancel Readora and stop unwanted charges in the philippines
What Readora is and why you should understand your subscription
Readora operates as a digital reading platform delivering e-books and audiobooks via a recurring monthly subscription model. When you subscribe, you agree to automatic monthly renewals charged to your saved payment method unless you actively cancel before your next billing cycle. The service provider maintains limited public information, which leaves many Philippine users confused about how to access their account settings and execute a cancellation.
The central problem is straightforward: Readora charges your card or mobile wallet automatically each month, and cancelling requires you to navigate either your app store subscription settings or contact their support team. Users frequently report that they attempted cancellation, believed the request succeeded, and discovered another charge on their statement weeks later. This guide helps you avoid that outcome by walking you through each cancellation method with documented proof.
How readora's subscription model works
Your Readora subscription grants you access to a library of digital reading content for one calendar month. The subscription renews automatically on your billing date unless you submit a cancellation request before that renewal date arrives. You are paying for temporary access to content, not ownership of any books or audiobooks. Once your subscription ends, your access to the library stops immediately.
Readora charges your stored payment method automatically, which could be your credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet linked to your App Store or Google Play account. This automatic deduction means many users lose track of the subscription, particularly if they signed up quickly inside an app without saving confirmation details.
Why Readora users in the philippines report cancellation problems
Philippine subscribers consistently report identical frustrations: cancellation options are not clearly marked in the app, support responses arrive slowly or arrive not at all, and charges continue after attempted cancellations. The documented support contact is [email protected], but users report extended wait times for replies. Pricing information also varies across sources, ranging from PHP 219 monthly to unclear international rates, which compounds subscriber confusion.
Yafee has tracked these patterns across dozens of subscription services, and the result is always the same: unclear cancellation pathways create frustrated customers who pay longer than intended. Your goal is to cancel with documented proof before your next billing date arrives so you can dispute any charges that follow.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) grants you specific protections when dealing with subscription services and recurring billing disputes.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you have the right to cancel any subscription service and receive a refund for services not yet rendered. If you cancel before your renewal date, Readora must not charge you for the following month. If the service charges you after you have submitted a cancellation request, you hold the legal standing to dispute that charge with your bank or payment provider and demand a full refund.
The law also requires that cancellation processes be transparent and accessible. If Readora's cancellation option is hidden, obscured, or deliberately difficult to locate, that conduct may violate the Consumer Act. Document every step of your cancellation attempt, including screenshots, emails, and the date and time you submitted your request. This evidence becomes critical if you need to escalate your complaint to your bank or the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Your legal position if Readora refuses to process your cancellation
If you cancel with documented evidence and Readora continues to charge you: You can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and demand that Readora refund all charges incurred after your cancellation date. The Consumer Act gives you the right to pursue a refund plus damages if the company's conduct is willful or negligent. You can also dispute the charge directly with your bank and request a chargeback, instructing your bank that you cancelled the subscription and the charges are unauthorised.
Yafee recommends keeping all screenshots, confirmation emails, and transaction records for at least six months after cancellation. If Readora's support team acknowledges your cancellation by email but continues charging, that email becomes your strongest evidence in any dispute or complaint to the DTI.

The most common cancellation route for Android users is through Google Play Store subscription management.
Step 1: access your google play account settings
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Manage your Google Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab.
Step 2: locate and select your Readora subscription
- Tap "Subscriptions" within the Payments and subscriptions section.

- Review the subscription details, including your next billing date.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request

- Google Play will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation. Select the reason that applies to you.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" again to finalize your request.
- You will see a confirmation message. Take a screenshot of this confirmation immediately.
Step 4: verify your cancellation and protect your evidence
- Return to the Subscriptions list and confirm that Readora no longer appears or is marked as "Cancelled."
- Save the screenshot from Step 3 to your phone or cloud storage.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play. Screenshot this email as well.
How to cancel Readora on iOS devices via the app store
iPhone and iPad users cancel through the App Store subscription management interface, which operates differently from Android.
Step 1: open your app store account settings
- Open the App Store app on your iOS device.
- Tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
Step 2: find the Readora subscription
- Scroll through your active subscriptions and locate "Readora."
- Tap on "Readora" to view the full subscription details and renewal date.
Step 3: cancel your subscription
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will present a confirmation page. Read the cancellation terms carefully.
- Tap "Confirm" to complete the cancellation.
- Your App Store will display a message confirming the cancellation date. Screenshot this immediately.
Step 4: document your cancellation and monitor charges
- Return to the Subscriptions list and verify that Readora is no longer listed or is marked as cancelled.
- Save the confirmation screenshot to your phone, email, or cloud storage.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple. Forward this email to yourself for safe storage.
If you have already attempted cancellation through your app store and charges continue, or if you prefer to cancel directly, contact Readora's support team by email.
Step 1: prepare your cancellation email
- Note your Readora account email address (the email address you used to sign up).
- Note your subscription billing date and your last charge amount.
- Open your email client and create a new message.
Step 2: send your cancellation request
- Address your email to [email protected] (the documented Readora support email).
- Use the subject line: "Cancellation request for Readora subscription."
- Write a clear, professional message requesting immediate cancellation. Include your account email and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect (ideally before your next renewal date).
- Save a copy of this email in a folder labeled "Readora cancellation" for your records.
- Send the email and take a screenshot showing the sent message with the timestamp.
Step 3: monitor for a response and follow up
- Allow up to 5 business days for a response. Readora support response times are notoriously slow, so patience is necessary.
- If you receive a cancellation confirmation email, screenshot it and save it immediately.
- If you do not receive a response within 7 days, send a follow-up email with the same cancellation request. Mark it "Follow-up" in the subject line.
- Check your bank or app store billing on your renewal date to confirm no charge appears.
What to do after you cancel Readora
Cancellation is not complete until you verify that no further charges appear on your account.
Monitor your billing statements for 60 days
After cancellation, check your credit card statement, debit card statement, or mobile wallet transaction history for the next two billing cycles. If Readora charges you after your cancellation date, you have clear evidence of an unauthorized charge. Yafee recommends setting a reminder on your phone for 5 days before your original renewal date so you remember to verify no charge has appeared.
Dispute any charges that appear after cancellation
If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank or payment provider immediately and request a chargeback or refund. Provide your bank with the following documentation:
- Screenshots of your app store cancellation confirmation.
- Confirmation email from Readora (if you received one) or your follow-up support email.
- Your billing statement showing the unauthorized charge.
- The cancellation date you submitted and the date the charge appeared.
Your bank will initiate a dispute process and will likely refund the charge within 30 days. Your payment provider is legally obligated to protect you from recurring unauthorized charges under the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
File a complaint with the department of trade and industry if necessary
If Readora refuses to refund an unauthorized charge and your bank cannot resolve the dispute, file a formal complaint with the DTI. Yafee recommends including all documentation, screenshots, and correspondence. The DTI will investigate and compel Readora to refund you if evidence supports your claim.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Readora
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the correct steps, but these common errors trap many users.
Deleting the Readora app does not cancel your subscription
Many users believe that uninstalling the app will stop charges. It will not. Readora continues to bill you even if the app is no longer on your device. You must explicitly cancel the subscription through your app store or via email to Readora support. Deletion alone leaves you exposed to continued charges.
Not documenting your cancellation immediately
If you submit a cancellation request but do not take a screenshot or save the confirmation email, you have no proof if Readora later claims you never cancelled. Always screenshot confirmation pages and save all support emails. This evidence becomes essential if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with the DTI.
Assuming your bank will stop the charge automatically
Your bank does not monitor your subscriptions. It is your responsibility to cancel with Readora. Only after an unauthorized charge appears can your bank initiate a dispute. Yafee recommends cancelling at least 7 days before your renewal date so you can verify that no charge appears before your account is charged again.
Waiting until after your renewal date to cancel
If you cancel after your next billing date, you have already been charged for the next month and will likely not receive a refund unless you open a dispute with your bank. Cancel before your renewal date to avoid the charge entirely.
Refund options if you have already been overcharged
If Readora has already charged you after cancellation, you have multiple paths to recover that money.

Request a refund directly from Readora support
Email [email protected] and explain that you cancelled before the charge date, yet a charge still appeared. Request an immediate refund of the amount charged. Include your account email, the date you cancelled, and the date the charge appeared. Readora's response rate is low, but it is worth attempting before escalating to your bank.
File a chargeback through your bank or payment provider
This is the fastest and most reliable route for most users. Contact your bank or credit card issuer and explain that you cancelled your Readora subscription before the renewal date, yet an unauthorized charge appeared. Your bank will reverse the charge and open a dispute with Readora. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover overcharges through this method.
Submit a refund request through your app store
If you subscribe through Google Play or the App Store, you can request a refund directly. Google Play and Apple typically approve one refund per customer per year. Submit your request within 48 hours of the charge you dispute, and reference your cancellation date as the reason.

Customer reviews and user experiences with Readora cancellation
Real user feedback reveals consistent patterns in Readora cancellation experiences across the Philippines.
Positive feedback: Users who cancelled through Google Play or the App Store report that the process was straightforward and charges stopped immediately. Those who kept documentation reported easy refunds when they filed chargebacks.
Negative feedback: Users who attempted email cancellation report waiting weeks without response. Several users reported that they cancelled but Readora charged them again the following month anyway. The most common complaint is that Readora's support is unresponsive and cancellation options in the app are not clearly marked.
