Cancel Panic: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel panic and take control of your subscription spend in india
Understanding panic and why you might want to cancel
Panic is a mobile app designed to help you track your mood patterns and manage anxiety through structured sessions and daily metrics. The app offers both free and premium tiers, with the paid version (called "My Panic Meter") unlocking features like detailed panic scores, mood indicators, ambient listening sessions, and custom themes. If you subscribed to Panic through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you're on a recurring billing cycle that automatically renews each month or year unless you cancel.
Many users find themselves paying for subscription services they no longer use, and Panic is no exception. Whether you've found a different mental health tool, decided the features don't match your needs, or simply want to reduce your monthly expenses, cancelling Panic is your right as a consumer. Stopee understands that navigating subscription cancellations can feel overwhelming, which is why we've created this step-by-step guide to help you regain control of your spending and your account.
When cancellation makes sense
You should consider cancelling Panic if you're not actively using the app, if the monthly cost (₹399) or annual cost (₹2,499) no longer fits your budget, if you've found an alternative service that works better for you, or if you're concerned about recurring charges. Cancelling stops future payments without affecting your access to the free version of Panic, which includes basic mood tracking and limited sessions.
Your right to cancel at any time
Indian consumer protection law gives you the absolute right to cancel any subscription service at any time. You are not locked into a contract, and no app developer can prevent you from stopping automatic renewals. Stopee empowers you to exercise this right with confidence and clarity.
How to cancel panic on iOS (Apple app store)
Cancelling Panic through the Apple App Store is straightforward and takes less than two minutes on your iPhone or iPad.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Look for the app icon in your home screen or dock.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- This is usually a circular photo or initial.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap "My Panic Meter" in the subscriptions list.
- Look for the full subscription name; free trial versions may appear separately.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation; this is optional feedback.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes.
Pro tip: Keep the Apple confirmation email for your records. You retain access to Panic Pro features until your current billing period ends, even after you cancel.
Warning: Do not delete the Panic app from your phone before cancelling the subscription through App Store settings. Deleting the app does not cancel the recurring charge.
How to cancel panic on android (Google play store)
If you subscribed to Panic through Google Play on an Android device, follow these steps to stop the automatic renewal.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the Play Store icon from your app drawer or home screen.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- This is usually your account photo or initial.
- Select "Payments & subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- You may see "Manage subscriptions" as an alternative label.
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view your active services.
- All recurring charges linked to your Google Play account appear here.
- Find "My Panic Meter" in the list and tap it.
- Ensure you're selecting the Panic subscription, not a trial or promotional offer.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your cancellation.
- Google Play will ask why you're cancelling; your feedback helps developers improve their service.
Pro tip: Check your Google Play receipt history after cancellation. You can download a PDF receipt for your tax records.
Warning: If you subscribed through a third-party platform (such as Amazon, Samsung Galaxy Store, or another app distributor), you must cancel directly with that platform, not through Google Play. Contact their support team with your subscription details.
What happens after you cancel panic
Cancelling Panic is not the end of your experience with the app-understanding what changes after you cancel helps you avoid confusion and unwanted charges.
Access and features after cancellation
You retain full access to all paid features (like panic scores, mood indicators, and ambient sessions) until your current billing period ends. Once that period expires, your account automatically downgrades to the free version of Panic. You can still use the app and access basic mood tracking, but advanced features become unavailable.
Your data remains secure
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account or your personal data. Your mood history, settings, and account information stay stored in Panic unless you manually request deletion. If you want to erase all your data permanently, check the app's account or privacy settings for a "Delete Account" or "Request Data Removal" option. You may need to contact Panic's support team directly if no in-app option exists.
Automatic renewal stops immediately
Once you confirm your cancellation through the App Store or Google Play, the automatic renewal stops. You will not be charged again after your current subscription period ends. The date when your subscription expires appears in your App Store or Google Play account under "Subscriptions."
Panic pricing and your investment
Understanding what you've been paying helps you make an informed decision about cancellation and assess whether a refund is due.
| Plan | Price (INR) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| My Panic Meter (monthly) | ₹399 | 30 days | Panic scores with context, mood indicators, ambient sessions, custom themes |
| My Panic Meter (annual) | ₹2,499 | 365 days | Panic scores with context, mood indicators, ambient sessions, custom themes |
| Free tier | ₹0 | No renewal | Basic mood tracking, limited sessions |
These prices are current for the Indian App Store as of 2025. Actual charges depend on your App Store region, local taxes, and any promotional discounts you may have received. Always verify pricing in your local store before subscribing.
Refunds and your right to reclaim money
If you believe you deserve a refund-whether due to accidental charges, billing errors, or unused subscription time-you have legal recourse under Indian consumer protection law.
How refunds work for app subscriptions
App Store and Google Play handle refunds directly; Panic does not process refunds independently. When you request a refund, you're asking Apple or Google to reverse the charge, not the app developer. Stopee recommends requesting refunds directly through the store where you were charged.
For Apple App Store refunds: Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your Apple ID, select "Purchase History," find the Panic charge, and tap "Report a Problem." Explain why you want a refund (accidental charge, unused subscription, etc.), and Apple reviews your request within 48 hours.
For Google Play refunds: Visit play.google.com, sign in, open "Payments & subscriptions," find the Panic transaction, and select "Report a problem." Describe your issue and request a refund. Google typically responds within 3 to 5 business days.
Refund eligibility and timelines
Apple and Google allow refunds for subscriptions cancelled within 48 hours of the first charge. If you subscribed and used the app for weeks or months, a refund becomes less likely unless you can prove a billing error or duplicate charge. However, you can always request one-the worst outcome is denial.
Warning: Some users report that submitting multiple refund requests triggers account review flags. Submit one clear, honest request and wait for a response before resubmitting.
Your consumer rights and protections in india
Stopee believes that knowing your legal rights empowers you to stand up against unfair billing practices and hidden charges.
Consumer protection act, 2019 and digital subscriptions
Under India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to:
- Receive clear, transparent billing information before you subscribe.
- Cancel any subscription without penalty or justification.
- Receive a refund if you're charged in error or the service is not delivered as promised.
- Have your personal data handled securely and deleted upon request.
These protections apply to all app subscriptions, including Panic, regardless of where the developer is based.
How to escalate disputes
If Apple, Google, or Panic refuse your refund request unreasonably, you can escalate to India's consumer protection authority.
- Contact the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) at 1800-11-4000 (toll-free) or www.nch.gov.in.
- File a formal complaint with your state's District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (DCDRC).
- Keep all transaction receipts, emails, and screenshots of your cancellation and refund requests.
Most disputes are resolved within 30 to 60 days when escalated properly.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancelling a subscription should be simple, but small oversights often leave users frustrated and still being charged.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
This is the most common mistake. Removing Panic from your phone does nothing to stop the automatic renewal. The charge will still hit your account on the renewal date. Always cancel the subscription through App Store or Google Play settings before deleting the app.
Cancelling only the free trial, not the paid subscription
If you started with a free trial that converted to a paid subscription, you must cancel the paid tier separately. Some users cancel the trial notification but leave the paid subscription active. Check both your trial and active subscriptions list to confirm you've cancelled the right one.
Using an outdated or secondary apple ID or google account
If you subscribed with one Apple ID or Google account but later switched to another, your original subscription remains tied to the old account. Log back into the original account through App Store or Google Play settings to find and cancel the subscription. Stopee sees this issue frequently among users who update their device or region settings.
Ignoring the confirmation email
After you cancel, both Apple and Google send a confirmation email. Some users assume silence means cancellation failed. Check your email inbox and spam folder for the confirmation. If you don't see one within 24 hours, retry the cancellation process.
Cancelling but not checking the renewal date
Cancellation stops future renewals, but if you subscribed mid-month, you may still be charged for the remainder of the current billing period. Check your App Store or Google Play settings to see the exact expiration date. You retain access to all paid features until that date passes.
