How to cancel Novelove and protect your reading subscription in singapore
What is Novelove and why cancellation matters
Novelove is a subscription-based reading application that grants you access to a curated library of serialized romance novels and stories. You download the app via the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, then pay a weekly or yearly fee for unlimited reading access, with free alternatives like ad-watching also available. The service automatically renews on your chosen billing cycle unless you actively cancel your subscription.
If you subscribed to sample Novelove but discovered the story selection does not align with your preferences, or if you have simply shifted to another reading platform, cancellation is achievable-but timing affects whether you incur unwanted charges. At Yafee, we guide you through the cancellation process step by step and ensure you understand your legal safeguards as a Singapore consumer.
This guide covers every cancellation method available to you, explains what happens after you submit your cancellation request, and clarifies your rights under Singapore consumer protection law.
Who typically cancels Novelove subscriptions
You might cancel because Novelove's library does not match your reading taste, or because the weekly or yearly charge no longer justifies the value you receive. Some readers pause or cancel when workload increases or when they decide to reduce digital spending. Yafee recognizes that cancellation reasons vary-our role is to help you execute the process without unexpected delays or charges.
Why timing your cancellation prevents unwanted charges
Novelove renews automatically on a weekly or yearly schedule. If you cancel too close to your renewal date, the system may process your next charge before the cancellation takes effect, leaving you with a valid charge you must then dispute. The safest approach is to cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. We will show you exactly how to locate that date and confirm your cancellation has been recorded.
Novelove pricing plans and billing cycles
Understanding your current subscription cost and renewal date is essential before you proceed with cancellation. Novelove displays prices in USD on the app stores, but your actual debit appears in Singapore dollars (SGD) on your bank statement or in-app receipt.
| Plan |
Price (USD) |
Billing cycle |
What you receive |
| Weekly Pack |
US$14.99 |
Every 7 days |
Unlimited reading access to entire library |
| Yearly Pack |
US$99.99 |
Every 12 months |
Unlimited reading access to entire library |
The yearly plan typically offers lower per-month cost, but if you cancel partway through the year, Novelove may not refund your remaining balance. Keep your app receipt handy-it shows the exact SGD amount charged to your payment method and clearly displays your next billing date. This receipt becomes critical if you later need to dispute a charge or claim a refund.
Your consumer rights and singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) grants you specific protections when you cancel a subscription service. Under this legislation, suppliers must provide you with clear cancellation mechanisms and must not implement hidden barriers to cancellation.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act requires
The CPFTA obligates Novelove to:
- Allow you to cancel your subscription through the same method you used to subscribe (for example, in-app cancellation if you subscribed in-app)
- Process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe-typically immediately upon your request
- Stop charging you within one billing cycle of your cancellation date
- Provide you with a clear cancellation confirmation, either on-screen or via email
If Novelove fails to honor these obligations, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), Singapore's primary consumer protection authority. CASE will investigate free of charge and may pursue remediation on your behalf if you have acted in good faith.
Your legal position when you cancel
Once you submit a valid cancellation request through an authorized channel (iOS, Android, or direct contact with Novelove's support team), you have a contractual right to cease receiving and paying for the service. Novelove cannot charge you again after your next scheduled billing date without your explicit new consent. If a charge appears after you have cancelled, you have the right to dispute that charge with your bank and with CASE. The burden of proof rests with Novelove to demonstrate that you authorized any post-cancellation charge.
How to cancel Novelove on iOS and apple devices
Cancelling via the Apple App Store is the fastest route if you subscribed on an iPhone or iPad. Apple processes the cancellation directly, and Novelove receives immediate notification that your subscription has ended.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll to the top of the Settings menu and tap your name or Apple ID profile.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID account.
- Find Novelove in the subscription list.
- If multiple Novelove entries appear, select the one with "Active" status displayed.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Apple will prompt you to confirm your cancellation. Tap Confirm to proceed.
- Confirm the cancellation is recorded.
- You will see a confirmation screen stating "Subscription Cancelled" or similar language. Take a screenshot of this screen for your records-this serves as proof of your cancellation request.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid a final charge. Your billing date appears directly on the subscription details page. If a charge appears on your next statement after cancellation, contact Apple Support immediately-Apple often reverses charges within 30 days if you report the issue promptly.
How to cancel Novelove on android and google play
If you subscribed via Google Play Store on an Android device, you cancel through Google Play's subscription management system. Google processes the cancellation and notifies Novelove that your access should cease.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (your account avatar) in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Tap Payments and subscriptions.
- You will see a list of all subscriptions attached to your Google Play account.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- This displays all active and inactive subscriptions on your account.
- Select Novelove from the list.
- If you see multiple entries, choose the one marked as "Active".
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Google will ask for the reason for your cancellation (optional question) and then request confirmation.
- Confirm your cancellation.
- You will receive a confirmation message on-screen. Screenshot this confirmation for your records.
As with iOS, cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Your next billing date is displayed in the subscription details. If an unexpected charge appears, contact Google Play Support-they can reverse charges made within the past 30 days if you report the issue promptly.
Cancelling Novelove directly with the company
If you cannot cancel through iOS or Android, or if you wish to escalate your cancellation request directly to Novelove, you may contact the company's support team. Based on publicly available information, Novelove's registered office is located in Hong Kong, and the company does not maintain a public Singapore address for consumer inquiries.
Sending a cancellation request to Novelove
To cancel by direct contact, email Novelove's support team with your request. Include the following information in your message:
- Your full name and registered email address on your Novelove account
- Your Apple ID or Google Play account email (whichever you used to subscribe)
- Your subscription plan (weekly or yearly) and current billing date
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Novelove subscription, effective today"
- Your preferred confirmation method (email or in-app notification)
Send this email and request a read receipt or delivery confirmation. Retain the confirmation for your records-this constitutes your cancellation notification to Novelove.
What to do if Novelove does not respond
If Novelove fails to acknowledge your cancellation request within 5 business days, or if a charge appears after your cancellation, you have two escalation pathways:
- Contact your bank or payment card issuer and dispute the charge as unauthorized. Most issuers reverse charges within 30 days if you report them promptly.
- Lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg. CASE will investigate free of charge and pressure Novelove to refund any disputed amounts.
Yafee understands that some cancellations require escalation-our guides empower you to recognize when a company is not responding in good faith and how to exercise your statutory rights.
What happens after you cancel Novelove
Once your cancellation is processed, your reading access terminates at the end of your current billing cycle or immediately, depending on the company's policy. You will no longer receive charges on future billing dates.
Accessing your account after cancellation
After cancellation, you typically retain read access to any books or stories you fully downloaded to your device before the cancellation took effect. However, you will lose access to the cloud library and to any content available only through streaming. If you wish to preserve your reading list or notes, export or screenshot this information before your access expires.
Your cancellation confirmation and records
Yafee recommends keeping the following records for at least 12 months after cancellation:
- Screenshot or email confirmation of your cancellation request (from iOS, Android, or direct email to Novelove)
- Your final receipt showing your last billing date and the charge amount in SGD
- Confirmation of any refund processed (if applicable)
- Bank statements showing that no new charges appear after your cancellation date
These records protect you if a dispute arises and serve as evidence if you need to escalate a complaint to CASE.
Refund eligibility and how to claim
Novelove's refund policy determines whether you are entitled to recover any portion of your prepaid subscription. In Singapore, the CPFTA does not guarantee automatic refunds for subscription cancellations-refund rights depend on the contract terms you accepted when you subscribed.
When Novelove may refund your cancellation
You are most likely to receive a refund if:
- You cancel within 14 days of your initial subscription date (cooling-off period under CPFTA)
- You cancel a yearly plan within the first 30 days and Novelove explicitly offers a 30-day refund guarantee
- Novelove fails to deliver the promised service (for example, the app crashes repeatedly or the library is unavailable)
- You cancel due to a billing error or unauthorized charge
How to request a refund from Novelove
If you believe you qualify for a refund, send a request to Novelove's support team within 30 days of your last charge. Include:
- Your subscription plan, start date, and end date
- The amount charged (in SGD, from your receipt)
- Clear explanation of why you believe a refund is warranted (for example, "I cancelled within 14 days of subscription start")
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method or alternative)
Novelove typically responds within 5 to 10 business days. If they deny your refund and you believe the denial is unfair, lodge a complaint with CASE, which will assess whether Novelove's decision complies with the CPFTA and industry standards.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Most cancellation difficulties arise from timing errors or miscommunication-these are entirely preventable with the right approach. Yafee has reviewed hundreds of cancellation complaints and identified the patterns that lead to avoidable charges and disputes.
Cancelling too close to your renewal date
Your most critical error is submitting your cancellation within 24 hours of your renewal time. Even if you cancel, the system may process your next charge before the cancellation takes effect. Always identify your renewal date first, then cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
Confusing app deletion with cancellation
Deleting the Novelove app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription remains active in the app store (iOS or Google Play) and will continue to renew automatically. You must explicitly cancel through the subscription management interface-app deletion alone is insufficient.
Assuming email cancellation requests are processed immediately
If you email Novelove a cancellation request without using the iOS or Android in-app cancellation process, assume the company will take 3 to 5 business days to process it. In the meantime, your renewal date may pass and a final charge may be processed. For this reason, always prioritize iOS or Android in-app cancellation if available-these processes take effect immediately.
Failing to retain proof of your cancellation
If you cancel without taking a screenshot or keeping the confirmation message, you have no evidence if Novelove later claims you never cancelled. Always screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen immediately after completing the process.
Your cancellation is only truly complete once you have verified that no further charges appear on your account. Yafee recommends these verification steps to safeguard against billing errors.
- Screenshot your cancellation confirmation.
- Capture the on-screen confirmation message showing your subscription has been cancelled.
- Check your email for a cancellation receipt.
- Wait 24 hours for Novelove or the app store to send a confirmation email. Save this email in a dedicated folder.
- Verify your subscription status in-app or in the store.
- Return to iOS Settings or Google Play after 24 hours and confirm Novelove no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.
- Mark your renewal date on your calendar.
- Note the date your cancellation was supposed to take effect, then monitor your bank account for any unexpected charges on or shortly after that date.
- Review your bank statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation.
- Check that no new SGD charge from Novelove appears on your statement. If one does, contact your bank immediately to dispute it.

In-app cancellation through iOS or Google Play is your safest and fastest option because the app store handles billing and communicates directly with Novelove. This removes the risk of miscommunication or lost emails.
If Novelove continues charging after cancellation
If an unexpected charge appears on your statement after you have cancelled, act within 30 days-this is the window most financial institutions allow for dispute resolution.
Step 1: contact your bank immediately
Call your bank's fraud or disputes department and report the charge as unauthorized. Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot and the statement date showing the unexpected charge. Your bank will begin a dispute investigation and may issue a provisional refund within 5 to 10 business days.
Step 2: lodge a formal complaint with CASE
If your bank denies the dispute or if the charge persists, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg or by phone at 6100 0315. Provide CASE with:
- Your cancellation confirmation screenshot
- Your statement showing the disputed charge in SGD
- Email or chat evidence of your cancellation request
- Documentation of your bank dispute (if filed)
CASE will investigate at no cost to you and may compel Novelove to refund the charge if evidence supports your claim.
Novelove operates from Hong Kong and does not maintain a public Singapore office address. For cancellation inquiries, contact Novelove's support team via the in-app support feature (preferred) or email the company directly. If you experience an unresolved dispute, escalate to CASE, Singapore's consumer protection authority.
Novelove contact details
Support channel: In-app support chat or email (exact address available in the app's Settings or Help section)
Physical address: Novelove's operations are based in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Singapore consumers should use in-app or email channels rather than attempting postal contact.
Singapore consumer protection escalation
If Novelove fails to respond or refuses your cancellation request:
- Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE)
- Website: case.org.sg
- Phone: 6100 0315
- Email: [email protected]
- Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
CASE investigates consumer complaints free of charge and works to secure refunds and remedies if a supplier breaches the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Final summary: cancel Novelove confidently
Cancelling Novelove is straightforward when you follow the correct sequence. Identify your renewal date, cancel at least 24 hours in advance through iOS or Google Play (the fastest and safest routes), take a screenshot of your confirmation, and monitor your bank account for the next two billing cycles to ensure no further charges appear. If an unexpected charge does occur, you have clear legal protections under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can dispute the charge through your bank or escalate to CASE.
