Cancel Reelshort: The Right Way
How to cancel reelshort and understand your rights in canada
What reelshort is and why you might want to cancel
Reelshort is a short-video streaming app published by Crazy Maple Studio that lets you watch episodic content through recurring weekly or annual subscriptions, or by purchasing coins to unlock individual episodes. The app works on iOS, Android, and through a web account.
You might be cancelling because your viewing habits have changed, the subscription cost adds up faster than expected, or you simply want to stop recurring charges. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through every step and make sure you know your rights as a Canadian consumer.
Why cancellation matters right now
Reelshort's weekly subscription costs approximately $27 to $28 per week, which adds up to over $1,400 per year if you forget to cancel. The sooner you act, the sooner you stop bleeding money to recurring charges.
How much are you actually spending
If you subscribed without checking renewal dates, you could be charged multiple times before you notice. A weekly subscription alone could hit your account every 7 days. This guide helps you regain control and cancel before your next billing cycle hits.
Reelshort pricing and subscription plans
Understanding what you are paying for makes the cancellation decision clearer.
| Subscription plan | Price (Canadian) | Billing cycle | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly all-access subscription | $27-$28 | Every 7 days | Unlimited access to full library |
| Annual subscription | $270-$280 | Once per year | Unlimited access all year |
| Coin pack (500 coins) | $7.50 | One-time purchase | Unlock specific episodes |
| Coin pack (1,000 coins) | $15 | One-time purchase | Unlock specific episodes |
| Coin pack (1,500 coins) | $22 | One-time purchase | Unlock specific episodes |
| Coin pack (2,500 coins) | $36 | One-time purchase | Unlock specific episodes |
The weekly subscription trap
The weekly plan is the most aggressive billing model. If you miss your cancellation window by even one day, your card gets charged again. Keep your renewal date circled in your calendar.
Coin purchases are final
One-time coin purchases cannot be refunded under Reelshort's terms, even if you do not use them. Think twice before buying coins unless you are certain you will spend them.
How to cancel reelshort by platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed: Apple's App Store, Google Play, or directly through Reelshort's web account.
Cancel reelshort on iPhone or iPad (App store)
Apple handles the billing for iOS subscriptions, so you cancel through your Apple ID settings, not inside the Reelshort app itself. You must cancel at least 24 hours before your next renewal to avoid being charged.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to view your Apple ID profile.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Look for "Reelshort" in your active subscriptions list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple. Keep this for your records.
Pro tip: Apple shows you the exact renewal date for each subscription. Mark that date on your calendar so you know when to cancel if you want to pause and resubscribe later.
Warning: If you see "Manage" instead of "Cancel," the subscription is already ending at the next billing cycle.
Cancel reelshort on android (Google play)
Google Play houses all your Android app subscriptions in one place. You manage Reelshort's subscription through Google Play's settings, not the app itself.
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- Find "Reelshort" in your active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Google will ask you to confirm your cancellation one more time. Tap "Yes, cancel."
- Look for a confirmation email from Google Play.
Pro tip: Google Play lets you pause subscriptions for up to 3 months before they fully cancel. This is useful if you think you might return to Reelshort soon.
Warning: Do not delete the Reelshort app from your phone. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription; you must cancel through Google Play settings.
Cancel reelshort through the web account
If you manage your subscription directly through Crazy Maple Studio's web portal, cancellation happens in your account settings. Web cancellations typically take effect immediately, meaning your access may stop right away.
- Go to the Reelshort web portal and log into your account using your credentials.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile page.
- Look for a "Subscriptions" or "VIP" section in the menu.
- Find your active subscription and select "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription."
- Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm cancellation.
- Request a confirmation email from support if the system does not send one automatically.
Pro tip: Cancel before your scheduled billing date to avoid the next charge. If you cancel after the charge goes through, you may need to request a refund separately.
Warning: Crazy Maple Studio states that web cancellations are effective immediately. This means your access could end the same day you cancel, not at the end of the current billing cycle. Plan accordingly.
What happens after you cancel reelshort
Cancelling stops future charges, but the details of what you can still access depend on your platform and Reelshort's policies.
Your access after cancellation
If you cancel through Apple or Google, your subscription typically remains active until the end of the paid period you have already purchased. For example, if your weekly subscription renews on Friday and you cancel on Monday, you usually keep access until Friday. Web cancellations through Reelshort may cut off access immediately, so read Reelshort's confirmation message carefully.
Your account data, watch history, and purchase history stay in the system unless Reelshort's policy says otherwise. You can always resubscribe later without losing your account.
What about coins you have not spent
Any coins you purchased but did not use remain in your account after cancellation. You can use them if you resubscribe later. However, Reelshort does not refund unused coins as a matter of policy.
Tracking your cancellation confirmation
Save all cancellation emails and screenshots of your cancellation confirmation. If a surprise charge appears on your card after cancellation, you will have proof that you cancelled. This is especially important for disputes with your bank or Stopee's escalation process.
Refunds and your statutory consumer rights in canada
Reelshort's published terms state that all subscription payments and coin purchases are final and non-refundable. However, those terms do not erase your rights under Canadian consumer protection law.
When reelshort's no-refund policy does not apply
Canadian consumer protection laws override many contractual disclaimers. If Reelshort's billing practices are unclear, misleading, or unconscionable, you have statutory remedies regardless of what the terms say. Provincial law varies slightly, but the core principle is the same: companies cannot use fine print to ignore consumer rights.
- If you were charged without clear, prior notice that recurring charges would apply, you may have a claim for a refund.
- If Reelshort made automatic renewal difficult to cancel or buried cancellation instructions, your province's consumer protection act may require them to refund you.
- If a charge appears on your card after you cancelled, you have grounds to dispute it.
Requesting a refund from reelshort directly
Before escalating to regulatory authorities, try asking Reelshort directly. Contact their support team and explain why you believe the charge is unfair. Mention specific dates and amounts. Many companies will issue a one-time refund to avoid regulatory complaints, especially if the amount is small.
Refunds through apple or google
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you can request a refund from those platforms independently of Reelshort's policy. Apple and Google have their own refund windows (usually 14-30 days from purchase). Stopee recommends trying the platform first, since Apple and Google often approve refunds that Reelshort refuses.
- For Apple: Go to Settings > Your Name > iTunes & App Store. Tap Your ID > View Account > Purchase History. Find Reelshort and tap "Report a Problem." Select your reason and request a refund.
- For Google Play: Open the Google Play app > your profile icon > Manage Your Google Play > Payments and Subscriptions > Purchase History. Find Reelshort, tap the three dots, and select "Request a refund."
Escalating to your payment provider
If Reelshort and the platform refuse to refund you, contact your credit card company or bank. You can dispute the charge as unauthorized or request a chargeback. Canadian banks take unauthorized recurring charges seriously and often rule in your favour.
Contacting provincial consumer authorities
If the amount is significant or Reelshort ignores your refund request, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority. Canada has consumer protection laws at both federal and provincial levels. Your province's ministry of consumer protection can investigate misleading billing practices and force refunds. Stopee can help you identify which agency has jurisdiction in your province and how to file a complaint.
Common mistakes when cancelling reelshort
Cancelling a subscription should be simple, but dark patterns and confusing interfaces often trip people up. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.
Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
This is the most common mistake. Uninstalling Reelshort from your phone does absolutely nothing to stop your subscription. Your recurring charge will still hit your account every week or year, even if the app is gone. Always cancel through your platform's settings before deleting the app.
Cancelling on the wrong day
If you have a weekly subscription, you have a narrow window to cancel before the next charge. Mark your renewal date in your phone's calendar and set a reminder for two days before. Stopee recommends cancelling at least 48 hours early if possible, in case the system takes time to process your request.
Assuming your access ends immediately
Many people cancel and panic when they see their access is still active. This is normal for Apple and Google subscriptions; you keep access until the paid period ends. However, web cancellations through Reelshort may cut off access right away. Read your confirmation message carefully so you are not surprised.
Not saving your confirmation
If a charge appears after you cancelled and you have no proof, disputing it becomes harder. Screenshot your cancellation screen and forward the confirmation email to yourself. Stopee emphasizes that documentation is your shield in refund disputes.
Giving up after the first "no" from reelshort
If Reelshort denies your refund request, you have multiple paths forward: Apple or Google, your bank, or your provincial consumer authority. Do not accept "non-refundable" as the final answer.
Your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself from surprise charges.
- Write down your next renewal date and set a phone reminder for 48 hours before.
- Identify which platform you subscribed through: Apple, Google, or Reelshort web.
- Log into that platform and navigate to your subscriptions section.
- Find Reelshort in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow all prompts to confirm.
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page.
- Forward the confirmation email to yourself or save it to a folder.
- Wait 3-5 days and check your bank or credit card statement to confirm no charge appears.
- If a charge does appear, contact your platform or bank to dispute it immediately.
- If you need a refund, start with the platform (Apple or Google), then escalate to your bank or provincial authority if needed.
