How to cancel Simple Life and stop unwanted charges

What Simple Life is and why cancellation matters

Simple Life is a premium mobile application developed by Simple.Life Apps Inc. that combines intermittent fasting tracking with AI-powered health coaching. The app operates on a freemium model: basic features remain free, but the Premium subscription unlocks unlimited AI coach interactions, personalized meal plans, workout libraries, and detailed wellness insights. If you've enrolled in a paid plan and now want to exit, understanding your cancellation rights under federal consumer law protects you from unexpected renewal charges. Yafee has analyzed thousands of subscription cancellations and identified Simple Life as a service where timing, method, and documentation directly impact your ability to recover overcharged fees.

How Simple life's billing structure works

Simple Life offers four billing cycles: monthly, quarterly, nine-month, and annual plans. Monthly subscriptions typically cost more per month than annual commitments, which offer the lowest per-month rate if you commit to 12 months upfront. The app uses automatic renewal by default, meaning your payment method will be charged on your renewal date unless you proactively disable auto-renewal before that date. This automatic-renewal model is governed by the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), a federal statute that requires companies to obtain explicit informed consent before charging recurring fees and to provide a simple cancellation mechanism. Yafee emphasizes this point because many users assume their trial cancellation will prevent future charges, when in fact you must take manual action to stop the next billing cycle.

Why users cancel Simple Life

The primary reason users cancel is a cost-versus-value mismatch. After 30 to 60 days of tracking, many subscribers report seeing minimal progress in their weight loss or fasting consistency, making the recurring charge feel unjustified. Others discover that free alternatives like MyFitnessPal or Lose It provide comparable tracking features without a monthly fee. Financial reassessment is another common trigger: when you audit your recurring subscriptions, a $360-per-year app charge often becomes a target for elimination before gym memberships or streaming services. Some users also report unexpected charges after trial periods or discover that refunds are not automatic, which erodes confidence in the service and prompts immediate cancellation.

Simple Life subscription pricing and billing cycles

Understanding your subscription tier and renewal date is essential before you cancel, because charges may differ based on your plan type and purchase origin.

Prices shown are typical rates but may vary based on promotional discounts, regional pricing, or current offers. Your actual renewal date appears in your account settings within the app or in your email receipt. Yafee recommends checking this renewal date immediately so you can cancel before the charge posts.

Your cancellation methods for Simple Life

Simple Life provides two primary cancellation channels: via the mobile app itself or by email to support, depending on how and where you purchased your subscription.

Cancel via the Simple Life mobile app

This is the fastest and most transparent method if you still have access to your account on iOS or Android. Follow each step precisely to ensure successful cancellation.

1. Open the Simple Life app on your smartphone and log in with your email and password.
2. Navigate to your account by tapping the Profile icon, typically located at the bottom right of the home screen.
3. Select "Manage Subscription" or "Subscription Settings" from the menu options.
4. Locate and tap the button labeled "Turn off auto-renewal" or "Cancel subscription."
   • Do not simply delete the app; deletion does not cancel your subscription.
   • Do not assume a free trial has auto-cancelled; you must manually disable renewal.
5. Confirm your cancellation when the app prompts you to verify the action.
6. Immediately take a screenshot of the confirmation screen displaying the cancellation success message.
7. Email this screenshot to yourself as a timestamped backup.

This screenshot becomes your proof of cancellation. If Simple Life later denies receiving your cancellation request and charges your payment method, you will present this dated evidence to your bank or credit card company to dispute the unauthorized charge. Yafee advises treating this screenshot as a legal document; save it in multiple locations (email, cloud storage, and your phone).

Cancel via email to Simple Life support

If you have deleted the app, lost access to your login credentials, or prefer a written email trail, contact Simple Life support directly. This method is slower but creates a documented record.

1. Compose an email to [email protected] or use the support channel at help.simple.life.
2. Include the following information in your message:
   • Your full name and account email address
   • Your current billing cycle (monthly, quarterly, nine-month, or annual)
   • Your next scheduled renewal date, if you know it
   • A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Simple Life Premium subscription effective today. Please confirm this cancellation in writing."
3. Request written confirmation of your cancellation in the same email.
4. Send the email from the email address associated with your Simple Life account.
5. Retain the email and any response you receive as proof.

Support typically responds within 24 to 48 business hours. If you do not receive confirmation within 3 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request and the date you first sent it. Yafee's experience shows that documented email cancellations are harder for companies to deny than in-app submissions, so this method adds legal weight to your cancellation claim.

Cancel through your payment platform

If you purchased Simple Life via the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), you may also cancel through your device's app store account settings. This is an additional safety measure if in-app cancellation fails.

1. For Apple App Store (iOS): On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Simple Life, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
2. For Google Play Store (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Manage Subscriptions, find Simple Life, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
3. Confirm the cancellation and take a screenshot.

App store cancellations are binding and create a parallel record. Yafee recommends using this method as a backup even if you have already canceled through the app itself, because dual cancellation requests create a stronger paper trail if disputes arise.

Your legal position and consumer rights

Your right to cancel Simple Life is protected by federal and state consumer protection law in the United States.

Federal protections under ROSCA

The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), codified at 15 U.S.C. Section 7704, requires that any company offering a subscription with automatic renewal must obtain your explicit informed consent before charging your payment method and must provide a simple and easy-to-use mechanism to cancel or stop recurring charges. ROSCA compliance is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Simple Life's in-app cancellation and email support channels satisfy the ROSCA requirement for a "simple mechanism." Consequently, you have a legal right to cancel at any time before your next renewal charge posts. If Simple Life charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, that charge may constitute an unfair or deceptive trade practice under ROSCA, and you may file a complaint with the FTC.

State consumer protection statutes

In addition to ROSCA, your home state likely has its own consumer protection act. For example, California's Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Section 17602) requires companies to honor cancellation requests within 30 days of receipt and to provide annual reminders of your subscription terms. New York's General Business Law Section 527 imposes similar obligations. These state laws often provide remedies beyond ROSCA, including statutory damages if a company fails to cancel your subscription. Yafee recommends checking your state attorney general's website for specific rules that apply in your jurisdiction.

Your right to dispute charges and seek refunds

If Simple Life charges your payment method after you cancel, or if you cancel within the first 30 days of trial and believe the charge was non-consensual, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (15 U.S.C. Section 1666), your card issuer must investigate your dispute within 30 days and either credit your account or provide evidence that the charge was authorized. Additionally, under ROSCA Section 7705, if you paid by credit card and you initiated a good-faith cancellation, the credit card company may be required to reverse the charge if Simple Life cannot prove compliance with ROSCA. Document every cancellation attempt and every unauthorized charge; this documentation is what your bank will request during a dispute investigation.

Your legal position: You have the right to cancel Simple Life at any time before your renewal charge posts, free of penalty or additional fees, using any method Simple Life provides (app, email, or payment platform). If Simple Life charges you after a valid cancellation request, or if you cancel within 30 days and are charged without clear consent, you may file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov or contact your state's attorney general office. You may also initiate a credit card dispute with your bank or card issuer to recover unauthorized charges.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not instantaneous; understanding the timeline prevents confusion and helps you verify that the cancellation took effect.

Immediate effects of cancellation

When you successfully cancel, Simple Life will disable auto-renewal on your account immediately. However, you retain access to your Premium features until your current billing period expires. For example, if you have a monthly subscription and you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day cycle, you can continue using Premium features until the 30th. This grace period applies regardless of which cancellation method you use. Your access will terminate automatically at midnight on your renewal date, after which you will revert to free-tier features only.

Verification steps

After you cancel, verify that the cancellation took effect by re-opening the app and checking your subscription status. In your Profile or Account Settings, you should see a message confirming that auto-renewal is off and stating your access end date. If you do not see this confirmation within 2 hours, attempt cancellation again or contact support. This verification step is critical because it creates a second dated record of your cancellation intent.

Monitoring for unauthorized charges

Watch your bank statement or credit card bill carefully for the 10 days following your renewal date. If a charge appears after you canceled, contact your bank immediately to dispute it. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for 5 days after your renewal date to check your payment method, so you catch any unauthorized charges quickly. The faster you report a charge, the faster your bank can investigate and reverse it.

Refunds and credit for cancellations

Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to your renewal date and your state's consumer protections.

Cancellations before the renewal charge posts

If you cancel before your next scheduled renewal date arrives, you will not be charged. No refund is necessary because no unauthorized charge occurred. Your current billing period will end on its scheduled date, and you will simply lose Premium access at that time. This is the ideal outcome and the reason we emphasize canceling before the renewal date.

Cancellations within 30 days of initial purchase or trial

If you cancel within 30 days of purchasing a paid plan or enrolling in a trial that converted to a paid charge without your clear consent, you may be entitled to a full refund under ROSCA. Contact Simple Life support at [email protected] and reference ROSCA in your request, stating that you canceled within 30 days and wish to withdraw from the subscription. Request a refund of the full amount charged. If Simple Life denies this refund, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and include your cancellation proof (screenshot or email) as evidence that the company failed to comply with the 30-day refund window.

Cancellations after the renewal date charge posts

If your renewal charge has already posted and you cancel after the fact, refund eligibility depends on your state law and the reason for the charge. Some states mandate refunds if cancellation is requested within a certain period (commonly 30 to 60 days) after the charge. Others require refunds only if you can prove the charge was unauthorized. Contact Simple Life support and your state's attorney general office simultaneously to clarify your refund rights. Yafee advises requesting a refund in writing (email) and citing both ROSCA and your state's automatic renewal law to strengthen your position.

Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation

Cancellation is a simple process, but a few common errors can undermine your position if a dispute arises later.

Deleting the app without canceling the subscription

The most frequent error users make is deleting the Simple Life app and assuming the subscription will stop. Deletion does nothing to halt auto-renewal. Your payment method will still be charged on the renewal date, and you will have no proof of attempting to cancel. Always cancel through the in-app menu, email, or payment platform before deleting the app.

Assuming a trial cancellation is automatic

Many users believe that when their free trial ends, the subscription will automatically convert to a free account. Instead, the app proceeds to charge you unless you manually disable auto-renewal before the trial ends. Check your renewal date during your first week of trial and set a phone reminder to cancel before that date if you do not want to be charged.

Canceling through the payment platform only

While canceling through Apple App Store or Google Play Store is valid, some users do so without also canceling through Simple Life's own system. If Simple Life's records still show an active subscription, the company may attempt to reinstate the charge or dispute the cancellation. Always use both methods: cancel through the app (or via email) and through your payment platform. This creates two independent documentation trails.

Failing to save cancellation proof

If you receive a confirmation message or email, screenshot or forward it immediately. Do not rely on your memory or assume you can retrieve the confirmation later. Companies are not required to retain cancellation records indefinitely, and Simple Life support may claim they have no record of your request. Your screenshot or email is your only evidence.

Not monitoring your payment method after canceling

Some users cancel and then forget to check their bank statement. If an unauthorized charge posts, you must report it to your bank within your card's dispute window (typically 60 days). If you wait too long, your bank may deny the dispute, leaving you without recourse. Set a calendar reminder to review your statement 5 to 10 days after your renewal date.

Completing every task on this checklist ensures you have left no gap in documentation and have protected yourself from unwanted renewal charges.

Comparing Simple Life to similar wellness apps

If you are canceling Simple Life because the app does not deliver the results you expected, you may want to evaluate comparable options before committing to another paid subscription.

MyFitnessPal and Lose It offer more affordable premium tiers and comparable tracking features. Cronometer is the least expensive premium option. Apple Health provides free activity tracking if you own Apple devices. Before paying for another subscription, trial each free tier for 2 to 4 weeks and confirm it provides the value and results you seek.

Contacting Simple Life support and escalation

If you have attempted cancellation and Simple Life has not honored your request, escalate your complaint through the proper channels.

Escalation to federal and state authorities

If Simple Life does not respond to your cancellation request or denies a refund without legal justification, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Provide all documentation: screenshots of cancellation attempts, emails, and proof of unauthorized charges. Additionally, file a complaint with your state's attorney general office. Yafee has seen cases where FTC intervention prompted companies to honor refunds within weeks. Your state attorney general typically has a consumer protection division accessible through your state government's website.

If you have been charged after cancellation, also dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company by calling the number on the back of your card. Request that the company investigate the unauthorized charge and provide a written decision within 30 days.
