Frequently asked questions
Cancel History Today: The Right Way
How to cancel History Today magazine and reclaim your subscription in singapore
What is History Today and who reads it
History Today is a monthly magazine delivering well-researched essays, features and analytical deep dives from expert historians across the globe.
The publication and its audience
History Today publishes in-depth historical articles, critical reviews and comprehensive back-issue archives in both print and digital formats. The publication serves readers who demand thoughtful, accessible history content, whether you are an academic, a general reader or someone exploring a particular era or movement. Each month brings fresh perspectives on events, people and historical movements that shaped our world. The magazine has built a reputation for rigorous scholarship presented in language that engages rather than alienates the general reader.
Where you can subscribe
You can purchase a subscription through three primary channels: the iOS App Store, the History Today website directly, or a combined print and digital package. Each pathway offers access to current and archived issues, although the cancellation process varies depending on which platform processed your payment. Understanding which channel you used is the first step in cancelling efficiently.
History Today subscription costs in singapore
Here is the current verified pricing for History Today subscriptions available to Singapore users on the iOS App Store, presented in Singapore dollars.
Subscription tiers and individual purchases
| Subscription plan | Price (SGD) | Billing cycle | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | S$5.98 | Monthly | Access to all current and back-issue articles via the app |
| Annual subscription | S$69.99 | Once yearly | Full access including the complete back-issue archive for 12 months |
| Single issue | S$3.98 | One-time purchase | One current issue only |
| Back-issue or special edition | S$8.98 | One-time purchase | A specific archived issue or limited edition |
Best value for your budget
The monthly plan at S$5.98 offers flexibility if you are uncertain about long-term commitment. The annual subscription at S$69.99 equates to approximately S$5.83 per month, making it marginally cheaper if you plan to read consistently across 12 months. Single-issue purchases suit readers who want to sample the magazine before committing. Yafee recommends comparing your actual reading frequency against these costs before you proceed with cancellation-sometimes pausing rather than cancelling entirely serves you better financially.
Common reasons readers cancel History Today
Understanding your motivation for cancellation helps you make a decision aligned with your genuine needs rather than a reactive one.
Why cancellations happen
You might cancel because your reading backlog has grown and you want to pause consumption. Others discover the subscription does not align with their browsing habits once they have tested it over two or three months. Some readers shift to library-based access, alternative history platforms or simply tighten their discretionary spending. A small portion cancel because they found overlapping content with other publications. Whatever your reason, Yafee empowers you to understand your options fully before you commit to cancellation.
Pause or cancel: which choice suits you
Ask yourself whether you intend to cancel permanently or suspend your subscription for a season. If you are mid-way through an annual plan, you may qualify for a pro-rated refund from History Today (detailed in the refunds section below). If cost is the primary concern, downgrading to the monthly plan at S$5.98 rather than cancelling outright might preserve your archive access while reducing your monthly obligation. Yafee advises taking 48 hours before you confirm cancellation, since re-subscription after cancellation sometimes incurs higher fees than remaining subscribed throughout.
How to cancel History Today across different platforms
The cancellation method depends entirely on which platform processed your payment, and Yafee has structured each pathway so you know exactly which steps to follow without confusion.
Cancel through the iOS app store
If you subscribed via your Apple device, you must turn off auto-renewal within the App Store settings to stop future charges.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID name at the very top of the screen.
- Select the Subscriptions option from the menu that appears.
- You will see a list of all active and paused subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Locate and tap History Today in the subscription list.
- If you cannot see it, scroll down or search using your device search function.
- Tap either Turn Off Free Trial or Turn Off Subscription, depending on your plan type.
- The app will ask you to confirm your choice.
- Confirm you want to stop the automatic renewal.
- Apple will display a confirmation message once cancellation is complete.
Timing critical: You must complete cancellation more than 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next billing cycle. Apple will not charge you again once you confirm cancellation through this pathway, but you retain full access to all content until your current paid period expires.
Cancel via the History Today website
If you subscribed directly through the History Today website rather than via an app platform, you must contact the publisher directly to process cancellation.
- Visit the History Today website and log into your account.
- Use the email address and password you created during registration.
- Navigate to your Account Settings or Subscription Management section.
- This is usually found in a user profile or dashboard menu.
- Locate the option to manage, pause or cancel your subscription.
- Some platforms allow immediate digital cancellation; others require you to contact support.
- If no digital cancellation option exists, send a cancellation email to the address provided.
- Include your full name, email address and subscription start date in your message.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation.
- Save this confirmation email as proof of your cancellation request.
Documentation matters: Keep all confirmation emails and cancellation records. Should any unexpected charges appear after your cancellation date, you will need this proof when disputing the charge with your bank or payment provider.
Cancel print and digital packages
If you subscribed to a combined print and digital package, you must write to History Today's registered office to cancel your subscription formally.
- Prepare a cancellation letter addressed to History Today.
- Include your full name, postal address and subscription reference number (found on your invoice or confirmation email).
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately or from a specified date.
- If cancelling an annual plan mid-term, request confirmation of any refund entitlement.
- Post your letter to the History Today cancellation address.
- Use registered mail or a tracked courier service to ensure delivery and proof of posting.
- Send a copy of your letter to History Today's customer service email if one is available.
- This provides a digital backup to your postal cancellation request.
- Retain your proof of posting and any email confirmations you receive.
- These documents protect you if disputes arise about the cancellation date.
Your legal position and consumer rights in singapore
Your right to cancel and your entitlement to refunds are protected by Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which grants you explicit rights when dealing with subscription services.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act guarantees you
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes that you have the right to cancel a subscription-based service within 14 days of purchase, provided you have not yet received substantial performance of the service. In practical terms, if you purchased History Today and wish to cancel within 14 days without having accessed significant content, you are entitled to a full refund. After the 14-day period expires, you may still cancel, but your refund entitlement depends on the specific terms you agreed to at purchase and whether any refund policy was clearly disclosed to you at that time.
Your legal position: You have the statutory right to cancel History Today within 14 calendar days of your purchase date if you have not materially used the service. Beyond 14 days, your cancellation rights depend on the terms and conditions you accepted. If History Today's terms are silent on cancellation or obscure, the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act presumes any unreasonable cancellation restriction is unfair to you as the consumer.
What happens after you cancel
Once you submit a valid cancellation request, History Today must acknowledge receipt of your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe. The company must then cease charging you from your next renewal date or immediately, depending on your cancellation method and the specific circumstances of your subscription. Yafee advises that you should not see any charges after the date you confirmed cancellation to your payment provider (Apple, your bank, or History Today directly). If charges continue after you have cancelled, you have grounds to dispute them with your payment provider and potentially lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore.
Refunds and pro-rated credits
Your entitlement to a refund depends on the timing of your cancellation request and the subscription plan you held.
When you qualify for a refund
If you cancel History Today within 14 days of purchase and have not yet accessed the service materially, you qualify for a full refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. If you cancel an annual subscription mid-term after the 14-day window has passed, History Today may offer a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your subscription, although this is discretionary unless explicitly stated in your subscription terms. Monthly subscriptions cancelled before the next auto-renewal date do not generate refunds, since you have received the full month's service.
How to request a refund
If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact History Today's customer service team directly with your subscription reference number and cancellation date. Request written confirmation of the refund amount and the expected payment date. Refunds typically process within 5 to 10 business days once approved, although your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 business days to credit the funds to your account. If History Today denies your refund claim, Yafee recommends documenting their response and escalating the dispute to the Consumers Association of Singapore or your payment provider's dispute resolution team.
Common mistakes when cancelling History Today
Cancellation is straightforward, but several missteps can create unnecessary complications or unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing the History Today app from your device does not automatically cancel your subscription or stop auto-renewal charges. Your subscription remains active and will continue to renew until you explicitly turn off auto-renewal within your device settings or contact History Today directly. Always confirm that you have turned off auto-renewal before you delete the app.
Mistake 2: missing the 24-hour cancellation window on iOS
If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before your renewal date, Apple's system may still process the charge for your next billing cycle. Set a calendar reminder on the exact renewal date shown in your App Store subscription settings, then cancel at least one full day in advance to guarantee that no further charges occur.
Mistake 3: assuming you will receive a refund for the current month
Monthly subscriptions do not generate refunds when cancelled. You have already paid for the current month and retain access until the month ends. If you cancel mid-month on a monthly plan, you forfeit the unused days unless History Today's published terms explicitly promise pro-rated refunds.
Mistake 4: not keeping cancellation confirmations
If no written confirmation of your cancellation appears in your email within 48 hours, follow up with History Today in writing. Retain all email confirmations, app store receipts and proof of posting letters. These documents protect you if unauthorised charges appear after your cancellation date.
What happens after you cancel History Today
Cancellation marks a clear endpoint, but understanding what occurs in the days and weeks after helps you avoid surprises.
Access to content after cancellation
You retain full access to History Today's entire archive and current issues until the end of your current paid period. If you cancelled on 15 March with a renewal date of 20 March, you keep access until 20 March at midnight. After that date, the app will either block access or demote you to a limited free tier (depending on History Today's published policy). The magazine will not delete any content you have already downloaded to your device, but online streaming access will cease.
Re-subscription and promotional pricing
After you cancel, History Today may send promotional emails offering discounted re-subscription rates or limited-time offers. These emails are marketing materials and do not obligate you to re-subscribe. Yafee notes that re-subscription pricing sometimes exceeds what you were paying as an existing subscriber, so compare any promotional offer against current standard pricing before you commit. Consider whether you genuinely intend to resume reading before you act on promotional messaging.

Sending your cancellation notice to History Today

The correct mailing address
Post your cancellation letter to:
History Today
2nd Floor (North)
55 Goswell Road
London EC1V 7EN
United Kingdom
Use registered mail or a tracked international courier service such as DHL or FedEx to ensure delivery. Retain your proof of posting receipt, as this serves as evidence that you submitted your cancellation request on a specific date. History Today must acknowledge receipt of your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe, typically five to seven business days. If you do not receive acknowledgement within two weeks, follow up with a second letter marked "Second Notice of Cancellation" or contact the publisher by telephone to confirm receipt of your original request.
What to include in your cancellation letter
Your letter should include your full name, the postal address linked to your subscription account, your subscription reference number (found on any invoice or confirmation email), the date you wish to cancel effective from, and a clear statement that you are requesting immediate cancellation of your History Today subscription. Request written confirmation of your cancellation and any pro-rated refund due. Keep a copy of your letter for your own records. Email a duplicate of the letter to History Today's customer service address if one is published on their website, to create a dual paper and digital record of your cancellation request.
Conclusion: streamlined cancellation with yafee's guidance
Cancelling History Today is straightforward once you identify which platform processed your subscription and follow the platform-specific steps outlined above.
