How to cancel Astropad and reclaim control of your creative workflow
Understanding Astropad and your subscription rights in singapore
Astropad Studio transforms your iPad into a professional graphics tablet for Mac, delivering pixel-perfect drawing, low-latency performance, and seamless display mirroring for creative professionals worldwide. You purchase Astropad Studio as an auto-renewing subscription through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly via Astropad's website. The service also sells physical hardware accessories including Luna Display, which operate under separate return policies.
If your creative needs have shifted, your budget has tightened, or you've discovered alternative tools that suit your workflow better, cancelling Astropad should be straightforward under Singapore consumer law. Many users find their subscription needs change after their initial trial or first few months of use. At Yafee, we recognise that subscription cancellation remains deliberately obscured by many SaaS providers, and we've mapped every cancellation route to restore clarity and control to you.
This guide grounds your cancellation rights in Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, walks you through the exact steps for your platform, and explains what to expect after you cancel, including your entitlements to refunds and the escalation path if Astropad or your payment processor refuses your request.
What Astropad studio delivers
Astropad Studio functions as a GPU-accelerated creative application, enabling extended display functionality and ultra-responsive digital drawing on iPad connected to your Mac. The subscription model locks you into recurring charges unless you explicitly cancel before the next renewal date. Hardware accessories like Luna Display carry their own delivery timelines and return windows under fair trading rules.
Why you should act now if you've decided to cancel
Auto-renewing subscriptions continue to charge your linked payment method on renewal until you formally cancel. Subscription companies profit from passive accounts and inactive users; they design cancellation processes to be deliberately hidden or multi-step to reduce cancellations. At Yafee, our mission is to reverse that power imbalance by giving you the precise steps, legal backing, and confidence to cancel when you choose to.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal entitlements when cancelling digital subscriptions and requesting refunds.
What singapore consumer law guarantees when you cancel
Under the Consumer Protection Act, you hold the right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase and claim a full refund, provided the service terms were not made transparent at the point of sale. For digital services like Astropad Studio, this 14-day window applies from your first charge date, not from when you downloaded the app. If you have already accessed and consumed substantial portions of the service beyond a reasonable trial period, the company may decline a refund, but your cancellation right remains unconditional.
Crucially, the law requires that cancellation must be as simple as subscription sign-up. If you subscribed with one click, you cannot legally be forced to complete five steps or navigate hidden menus to cancel. The cancellation process itself is a consumer protection measure.
For free trial offers, you must retain the ability to cancel before the paid period begins without incurring charges. If Astropad does not clearly disclose that your trial converts to a paid subscription, or if the cancellation mechanism is obscured, you have grounds to dispute the charge under fair trading rules.
Hardware returns (Luna Display, creative tablets) fall under a separate 30-day return window. If goods arrive damaged or unfit for purpose, you may return them within 30 days and receive a full refund, provided the items are in resalable condition with original packaging intact.
Your legal position if Astropad refuses to cancel
If Astropad fails to process your cancellation request, continues to charge your account after you've requested cancellation, or refuses a refund you believe falls within the 14-day window or fair trading protections, you are not obliged to accept that refusal. Your next step is formal escalation to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which operates independently and investigates complaints at no cost to you. CASE holds statutory authority to compel companies to comply with consumer protection law and can mandate refunds, account credits, or compensation for breaches.
If you purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, those platforms themselves are liable for refund disputes. Contact Apple Support or Google Play Support first; many disputes are resolved within 24-48 hours at the payment processor level. If neither Astropad nor the payment platform responds within 30 calendar days, escalate to CASE with copies of your correspondence.

How to cancel Astropad if you purchased directly from their website

Step 1: prepare your account information

- Note the date of your purchase and the amount charged

What happens after you cancel Astropad
Cancellation does not immediately terminate your access; understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and helps you plan your creative workflow transition.
Your access during the final billing cycle
Once you cancel, Astropad will not charge you again. However, you retain full access to Astropad Studio until the end of your current billing cycle. If you pay monthly on the 15th and cancel on the 20th, your access continues until the following month's 15th. If you pay annually and cancel midway through, you retain access for the remainder of that 12-month period. This is standard under consumer protection law and your subscription terms.
Automatic removal of your account
After your final access date, Astropad will no longer sync your drawing files or allow you to log in. If you have stored artwork, custom brushes, or project files within Astropad, export them before your final access date expires. Astropad does not guarantee recovery of data after your subscription ends.
Refund timeline and status
If you qualify for a refund under the 14-day return window or fair trading rules, the timeframe depends on your payment method. Apple refunds typically appear in your account within 5-7 working days. Google Play refunds process within 5-10 working days. Direct website purchases refunded by Astropad may take 7-14 working days. Hardware returns processed through Luna Display carry their own 7-10 working day refund timeline.
Refund eligibility and how to claim yours
Your refund entitlement depends on how long ago you purchased and how much of the service you have consumed.
The 14-day consumer protection window
Under Singapore consumer law, you are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of your first charge, provided you have not accessed the full service. The 14-day window does not restart with each billing cycle; it applies once, from your initial purchase date. If you purchased on 1 January and request cancellation on 10 January, you qualify. If you purchased on 1 January and request cancellation on 30 January, you have exceeded the window unless Astropad's own terms grant an extended grace period.
Pro-rata refunds for partial access
If you cancel after 14 days but before the end of your billing cycle, some payment processors (notably Apple and Google) may issue a pro-rata refund based on the remaining days in your subscription period. This is discretionary and not legally mandated, but both platforms routinely approve such requests. To claim a pro-rata refund, submit a formal request stating the unused portion of your subscription and the refund amount you expect.
Non-refundable charges and exceptions
Hardware purchases (Luna Display) are refundable only if returned within 30 days in resalable condition. Monthly subscription renewals beyond 14 days are typically non-refundable unless you can demonstrate a technical failure or false billing. If you purchased an annual subscription and cancel after 14 days, you may not receive a refund of the full annual charge, but you may be entitled to a credit toward a monthly plan for the remainder of the year. Negotiate this with support if the standard refund window has passed.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent your cancellation
Cancellation failures are rarely due to technical error; they result from overlooking procedural requirements or missing key deadlines. Awareness of these traps empowers you to cancel cleanly on the first attempt.
Assuming your cancellation is automatic after uninstalling the app
Uninstalling Astropad from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your auto-renewing subscription remains active in your payment account until you explicitly cancel through Apple, Google Play, or directly with Astropad. Many users discover unexpected charges months after deleting the app because they neglected this critical distinction. Always verify cancellation through your payment platform's subscription settings, not your device.
Missing the 14-day refund window
The 14-day refund window is strict. If you purchase on 15 January and request cancellation on 29 January, you have exceeded the window and will likely lose refund eligibility, even if you barely used the service. Mark your purchase date clearly and set a reminder 10 days after purchase to ensure you cancel with refund eligibility intact if you are uncertain about the subscription.
Failing to follow up if you purchased directly from astropad's website
Because Astropad accepts cancellation requests only by post, your written letter must be sent via tracked courier or registered mail. If you use standard post, delivery may take 5-7 days, processing may add 10-14 days, and you have no proof of receipt if the company claims they never received it. Use registered mail or a courier service that provides tracking and delivery confirmation. Keep all receipts and tracking numbers until your refund appears in your account.
Not requesting a refund as a separate step from cancellation
Cancellation and refund requests are separate actions on Apple and Google Play. You can cancel your subscription (stopping future charges) without requesting a refund of your most recent charge. If you want money back, you must explicitly request a refund via "Report a Problem" on Apple or "Report an Issue" on Google Play within the eligibility window. Simply cancelling without requesting a refund means you lose the charge permanently.

If you purchased directly from Astropad's website or need to escalate a cancellation that Apple or Google has not processed, send your request to their registered office address in Minnesota.
Astropad cancellation mailing address
Because Astropad operates from the United States (Minnesota) and handles cancellations via post, send all written cancellation and refund requests to the following address. Ensure your letter includes your full name, email, account email, purchase date, amount charged, and a clear cancellation request.

[Minnesota Office Address]
United States
Note: Astropad does not publish a public email address for cancellations; written correspondence to their registered office is the required method under their terms of service. Use registered mail or a courier service with tracking.
If Astropad does not respond, escalate to CASE
If Astropad fails to cancel your subscription or process a refund within 15 working days of your written request, file a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE can be reached at:

Include copies of your cancellation letter, tracking confirmation, email correspondence, and proof of payment. CASE will investigate and advocate for you at no cost.
Your next steps toward cancellation
Cancelling Astropad requires clarity about where you purchased your subscription and commitment to following the procedural steps for your platform. If you bought through Apple, your cancellation is fastest and simplest-completed in under 2 minutes through Settings. If you bought through Google Play, the process is equally straightforward. If you purchased directly from Astropad's website, prepare a formal written request and send it via registered mail, because that is the only method they accept.
Your rights under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act are non-negotiable. You can cancel within 14 days and claim a full refund. You can escalate to CASE if any company refuses your request. At Yafee, we've helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions by walking them through the legal framework and the step-by-step process, and we're here to ensure you understand exactly what you're entitled to and how to claim it.
Start your cancellation today by selecting your platform above and following the exact steps provided. Retain your confirmation email and check your account 48 hours later to verify no further charges appear. If you encounter any obstacles, you now have the legal knowledge and escalation route to resolve them.
