Cancel Alltrails: The Right Way
How to cancel AllTrails in malaysia and avoid unwanted charges
What AllTrails is and why malaysians subscribe
AllTrails is a trail discovery and outdoor navigation platform that combines a free tier with paid annual plans called Plus and Peak. You can browse trails for free, but you pay for offline map access, route planning, advanced navigation, and higher-tier exploration tools. The service operates on automatic renewal, which means your subscription renews each year unless you actively switch off renewal before your renewal date arrives.
Many Malaysians sign up through a 7-day free trial, then discover later that their card was charged because they did not cancel in time. If this happened to you, Stopee is here to walk you through the exact steps to stop future charges and understand your refund rights under Malaysian consumer law.
Pricing and what you pay for
AllTrails charges you in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) depending on where you subscribe. The two paid tiers break down like this: Plus covers offline maps and route planning at approximately RM170 per year, while Peak adds advanced tools and premium features at approximately RM378 per year. Some users find that features they expected in Plus are actually reserved for Peak, so check your current plan before you cancel so you know exactly what you have been paying for.
Payment happens directly on the AllTrails website, through the Apple App Store, or through Google Play. This matters because cancellation steps differ depending on which platform you used. Stopee recommends taking a screenshot of your active plan and renewal date right now, before you begin cancelling, so you have proof of what you were charged if a dispute arises later.
How AllTrails supports customers in malaysia
AllTrails offers help through its Help Center at support.alltrails.com, live chat, email at [email protected], and phone at (415) 418-3506. Support hours are not clearly published, and phone support operates in English only, which may not be ideal for all Malaysian users. If you need to escalate a refund dispute after cancelling, contact the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) or file a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA).
Your consumer rights when cancelling AllTrails
Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you when you cancel a subscription service, even if you signed up during a free trial period.
What the law says about subscriptions and refunds
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a subscription at any time. If AllTrails auto-renewed your subscription without clear, prominent consent during signup, you may be entitled to a full refund of charges made after the free trial period ended. The key question is whether AllTrails made the auto-renewal terms obvious and easy to understand before you completed your purchase.
Additionally, if you cancelled within 14 days of your first charge (after the free trial), you have a statutory cooling-off period that lets you claim a refund. Keep screenshots of your signup page, the free trial offer, and your account settings to prove when charges began and when you cancelled.
When you can demand a refund under malaysian law
You can demand a refund if any of the following apply: you were not told clearly that auto-renewal would happen; you were charged for a free trial period; you cancelled before the first billing date and were still charged; or you were not given a simple way to cancel (for example, if cancellation required calling a phone number with no clear written option). Stopee has helped thousands of consumers use these legal rights to recover unwanted charges.
If AllTrails refuses your refund request, escalate to the MCMC or FMCA with screenshots of your cancellation date, renewal date, and any correspondence with AllTrails support. These regulators have the power to investigate and order refunds.
How to cancel AllTrails depending on where you subscribed
Your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform processed your payment: the AllTrails website, Apple App Store, or Google Play.
Cancel if you subscribed directly on alltrails.com
This is the simplest path and takes about 2 minutes if you follow these steps carefully.
- Open alltrails.com and log in to your account using your email and password.
- Click your profile image or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
- Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Look for Account Settings on the left sidebar, then click Manage Subscription in the lower section.
- Locate the button that says Turn off auto-renewal or Cancel subscription and click it.
- Follow any on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- Refresh the page and return to Manage Subscription to verify that the renewal toggle now shows Off or Inactive.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation page for your records.
Pro tip: AllTrails often shows your next renewal date on the Manage Subscription page. Write this date down and set a phone reminder to check your bank statement on that date to confirm you were not charged. If a charge appears after you see the Off status, you have proof of cancellation to show your bank and to AllTrails support.
Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store
App Store subscriptions do not cancel from the AllTrails app or website. You must cancel inside Apple's own settings on your device.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap or click your name at the top of Settings, then select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap AllTrails in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Turn off auto-renewal (the button text varies by iOS version).
- Confirm when Apple asks you to verify the cancellation.
- You should see a message saying your subscription is now cancelled or will not renew. Take a screenshot.
Warning: If you see a message saying your subscription is on hold or paused, that is not the same as cancelling. You must complete the cancellation step so that no renewal charge occurs on your renewal date.
If you are unsure whether your cancellation worked, go back to Settings > Subscriptions > AllTrails and check the status line. It should show Expires on [date] or Cancelled, not Active or Renews on [date].
Cancel if you subscribed through google play
Like Apple, Google Play subscriptions must be cancelled inside Google Play itself, not from the AllTrails website or app.
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in your web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner (app) or click your account icon (web).
- Select Manage subscriptions.
- Tap or click AllTrails in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts to confirm.
- You should receive a confirmation message. Screenshot it for your records.
Pro tip: Google Play sometimes offers you a discount or incentive to keep your subscription. You can ignore these offers and proceed with cancellation. Stopee recommends you do not accept discounts unless you genuinely want to keep the service, because re-engaging with the renewal offer can reset your cancellation clock.
What happens to your account and data after cancellation
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your AllTrails account or your saved routes and trails immediately.
Access and features after you cancel
Once your subscription expires on its renewal date, you revert to the free Base tier. You lose offline map downloads, advanced route planning, and Peak-tier features, but you keep your account, username, and saved trails. You can still view your activity history and download your routes as files, which is useful if you plan to switch to a competitor app.
AllTrails does not publish a clear policy on how long saved routes remain after you cancel, so Stopee recommends you export or screenshot any routes you care about before your renewal date passes. Use the app's export or share feature to save route files to your device or cloud storage.
Can you reactivate your subscription later
Yes, you can resubscribe at any time by going through the signup process again. AllTrails may offer you a discount code or a new free trial when you return, though this is not guaranteed. You do not lose your account or activity history by cancelling, so reactivating is straightforward.
Refunds and what to expect if you were wrongly charged
Refund timelines depend on why you were charged and which payment method you used.
When you can claim a refund
You can claim a refund if you cancelled before your renewal date but AllTrails still charged you; if you were charged during the free trial period; if you cancelled within 14 days of your first charge (the statutory cooling-off period under Malaysian law); or if you did not clearly agree to auto-renewal. Do not wait to contact AllTrails; the sooner you report the charge, the faster they can process a refund.
- Email AllTrails support at [email protected] with the subject line: Refund Request for Unwanted Charge.
- Include your email address, the charge date, the amount, and a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation or your bank statement showing the charge.
- Explain clearly why you believe the charge was incorrect (for example, you cancelled before renewal or you did not agree to auto-renewal).
- Keep a copy of this email for your records.
- AllTrails typically responds within 3 to 7 business days with either a refund confirmation or an explanation.
Pro tip: Refunds to credit cards typically appear within 5 to 10 business days after AllTrails processes them, though your bank may take longer. Refunds to debit cards can take up to 14 days. If you do not see the refund within this window, contact your bank and provide the email from AllTrails confirming the refund.
If AllTrails denies your refund request
If AllTrails refuses to refund you or does not respond within 10 business days, escalate to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). File a formal complaint at mcmc.gov.my or contact the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA) at fmca.org.my. These bodies have the authority to investigate subscription disputes and order refunds if AllTrails has breached the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Provide the regulator with your cancellation screenshots, bank statements, and all correspondence with AllTrails. Include the exact date you cancelled, the renewal date, and the charge date so the regulator can see the timeline clearly.
Pricing and plan comparison table
| Plan | Annual cost (RM) | Offline maps | Route planning | Advanced tools | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Base tier | 0 | No | Basic | No | Casual browsers |
| Plus | ~170 | Yes | Yes | No | Most users |
| Peak | ~378 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Power users |
Common mistakes that delay your cancellation
Cancelling should be simple, but one small mistake can leave you paying for another year without realizing it.
Mistakes to avoid when you cancel
Mistake 1: Cancelling in the wrong place. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancelling on the AllTrails website does nothing. Your subscription will still renew. Always cancel where you paid, not where you use the app.
Mistake 2: Not taking a screenshot. You think you cancelled, but you did not check the confirmation. Three months later, a charge appears. Without a screenshot of the cancellation date, it is your word against AllTrails. Take one screenshot the moment you see the Off or Cancelled status.
Mistake 3: Cancelling too late. If you cancel on your renewal date or after, the annual charge may already have gone through. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to ensure the system has time to process the cancellation. Stopee recommends you cancel a week before renewal to give the system a comfortable buffer.
Mistake 4: Forgetting to save your routes and data. AllTrails does not clearly state what happens to your routes after you cancel. If a route matters to you, export it or screenshot it before your renewal date passes. Once your subscription expires, you may no longer have the ability to download or share advanced routes.
Mistake 5: Accepting a discount offer instead of cancelling. AllTrails may show you a half-price renewal offer when you try to cancel. This is a dark pattern designed to keep you subscribed. If you do not want the service, reject the offer and proceed with cancellation. Do not be tempted by a discount if you were not using the app anyway.
Checklist: steps to take before and after cancelling
| Task | When | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Check your renewal date and current plan | Before cancelling | You need to know if you are on Plus or Peak and when the next charge is due |
| Export or screenshot saved routes and trails | Before cancelling | You may lose access to advanced route features after your subscription expires |
| Note which platform you subscribed through (web, App Store, or Google Play) | Before cancelling | You can only cancel from the platform where you paid |
| Complete the cancellation step on the correct platform | Now | This is the critical step; do not skip it |
| Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation | Right after cancelling | Proof for disputes, refund requests, or complaints to regulators |
| Check your bank statement on renewal date to confirm no charge | On your renewal date | Catch any failed cancellations before they become a bigger problem |
| File a refund request if charged after cancelling | Within 5 days of seeing the charge | Faster response and stronger claim under Malaysian consumer law |
| Escalate to MCMC or FMCA if AllTrails refuses a refund | If AllTrails does not respond within 10 days | Regulators can order refunds and investigate unfair practices |
Why malaysians cancel AllTrails
People cancel AllTrails for many reasons, and your reason matters when you approach customer support or a refund claim.
Most common reasons to cancel
Not using the app. You signed up during the free trial, tried it once, and then forgot about it. By the time you remembered, the annual charge had hit your card. This is the most common reason Stopee sees, and it is exactly when the Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you most.
Too expensive for casual use. Plus costs RM170 a year. If you hike only a few times annually, that works out to RM17 to RM30 per hike. Many users realize the subscription is not worth the cost and cancel to save money.
Features behind Peak paywall. You subscribed to Plus expecting full navigation tools, but advanced route planning is locked behind Peak. This bait-and-switch frustrates many users into cancelling.
Switched to a free alternative. Apps like Komoot, ViewRanger, or even Google Maps with offline mode offer similar features without an annual fee. Once users discover these, they see no reason to keep paying AllTrails.
Poor offline map quality in Malaysia. AllTrails' offline maps may be less detailed or up-to-date in certain Malaysian regions, making the offline feature less valuable than advertised.
