Cancel Shuteye: The Right Way
How to cancel shuteye and reclaim your sleep (and your money)
What is shuteye
Shuteye is a sleep-tracking app and subscription service designed to help you improve sleep quality through guided sessions, personalised recommendations and sleep monitoring.
How shuteye works
The service operates as a freemium app with optional in-app purchases or direct subscriptions. Shuteye typically integrates with your device's sensors and health platforms to track your sleep patterns, then offers tailored advice and guided audio sessions to help you sleep better.
You might use Shuteye if you struggle with insomnia, want to monitor sleep trends, or prefer guided relaxation content before bed. Like most subscription apps, it renews automatically unless you cancel - and that's where many users run into trouble.
Why people cancel shuteye
Users cancel for several common reasons: the app doesn't match their sleep needs, they prefer free alternatives, the subscription feels expensive, or they simply forgot the subscription was running and noticed the charge on their bank statement.
Whatever your reason, cancelling quickly stops future charges and protects your wallet.
Your consumer rights in new zealand
New Zealand law gives you real protections when dealing with subscription services like Shuteye.
Consumer guarantees act and fair trading act
The Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) and the Fair Trading Act (1986) protect you when you buy goods or services. These laws mean Shuteye must deliver a service that is fit for purpose, safe, and accurately described.
If Shuteye fails to work properly, crashes frequently, or doesn't match how it was advertised, you have grounds to request a refund or cancellation under these laws. You don't need to wait for Shuteye to offer a refund - the law is on your side.
No automatic cooling-off period for digital subscriptions
Unlike physical goods purchased online, most digital subscriptions in New Zealand don't have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. However, this doesn't mean you're stuck. If the service is faulty or misleading, consumer law still applies, and you can escalate to the Commerce Commission if Shuteye refuses to act.
Pro tip: Keep all emails, screenshots, and transaction records. They become powerful evidence if you need to lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission.
How to cancel shuteye
Cancellation routes depend on where and how you subscribed - directly through Shuteye, Apple App Store, or Google Play.
Cancel shuteye via the app or website
This is the fastest route if you subscribed directly through Shuteye's website or app.
- Open the Shuteye app or visit the Shuteye website and sign in to your account.
- Navigate to Account, Subscription, or Billing settings (this varies slightly by app version).
- Select Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Shuteye may ask for feedback about why you're leaving - this is optional.
- Screenshot or copy the final confirmation page with the cancellation date and reference number.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours.
Warning: Don't just delete the app. Uninstalling Shuteye won't cancel your subscription - your payment method will still be charged. Always cancel through the app settings or website first.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through your iPhone or iPad, you'll cancel through Apple's system, not Shuteye itself.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings.
- Tap your Apple ID profile at the top.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Shuteye.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Apple will ask if you want to cancel immediately or at the end of your billing cycle.
- Cancelling immediately stops charges right away; cancelling at the end of the cycle gives you access until that date.
- Confirm by tapping Cancel Subscription again.
- You'll see "Expires on [date]" - this confirms your cancellation worked.
Pro tip: Apple often offers a popup asking if you want to keep the subscription for a discount. Ignore this if you're certain you want out - it's a retention tactic, not a better deal.
Cancel via google play (Android)
Android users follow a similar but slightly different process through Google Play.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage subscriptions or Subscriptions (depending on your Android version).
- Find Shuteye and tap it.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Review the cancellation details and final charge date.
- Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation reason.
- Confirm the cancellation.
You'll receive a confirmation email from Google confirming the cancellation and your final charge date.
Cancel shuteye by post or email (formal notice)
If you have trouble cancelling through the app or want a formal paper trail for a refund dispute, you can cancel in writing.
- Prepare a brief letter or email including:
- Your full name and email address linked to your Shuteye account.
- Your subscription ID or transaction ID (check your receipt or account settings).
- The date you started the subscription and the date of your most recent charge.
- A clear statement: "I wish to cancel my Shuteye subscription effective immediately."
- Send the letter or email to Shuteye's parent company (Enerjoy Limited):
- Postal address: Enerjoy Limited, Room 702, 7/F, SPA Centre, 53-55 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
- Include tracked or registered postage so you can prove delivery.
- Keep a copy of your letter and delivery confirmation for your records.
- Follow up with an email to Shuteye's support address if you have one, referencing your posted letter.
Pro tip: Written notice creates a legal record. If Shuteye charges you after you've sent a formal cancellation letter, you have proof of your cancellation date - vital for disputing charges with your bank or the Commerce Commission.
What happens after you cancel shuteye
Understanding what comes next removes uncertainty and helps you avoid surprise charges.
Your access and billing timeline
After cancellation, you typically keep access to Shuteye until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on the 10th but your next charge date is the 25th, you keep full access until the 25th, then your account locks (unless you resubscribe).
Automatic renewal stops at your next renewal date. Verify this cancellation date in your confirmation message - don't assume it's immediate.
Pro tip: Set a reminder for your final access date. This gives you time to export any sleep data or notes you want to keep before the account closes.
Your account and data
Shuteye may retain your account and historical sleep data for some time to allow you to reactivate your subscription, resolve billing disputes, or comply with legal requirements.
If you want all your personal data deleted, you'll need to request account deletion explicitly - don't assume cancellation erases everything. Contact Shuteye support and request full deletion, then retain a copy of their response confirming the deletion request.
Will you get a refund
Refund eligibility depends on how you purchased Shuteye and whether the service meets legal standards.
Refund policy and eligibility
Shuteye's refund terms vary based on purchase method. If you subscribed directly through Shuteye's website, their own refund policy applies. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, their refund rules take priority.
You may qualify for a refund if the service is faulty, doesn't work as advertised, or you experience a billing error. Under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act, you have the right to a refund if the service is not fit for purpose.
Refunds for early cancellation (e.g. you cancel after one week of a monthly plan) are less likely unless the service is genuinely faulty.
How to request a refund
- Contact Shuteye support via email or in-app chat.
- Include your purchase receipt, transaction ID, and billing date.
- Explain your reason clearly: Is the app crashing? Doesn't track sleep? Not matching the description?
- If you subscribed via Apple, file a refund request through your Apple ID purchase history first.
- Open Settings > Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Purchase History.
- Find the Shuteye charge and select "Report a Problem."
- Apple reviews this and may approve a refund without waiting for Shuteye's response.
- If you subscribed via Google Play, request a refund through Google Play.
- Open Google Play Store, find your purchase history, and tap "Report a problem."
- Google typically grants refunds within 48 hours if approved.
- If Shuteye or Apple/Google refuse, escalate to the Commerce Commission with your evidence.
- Lodge a complaint online at consumerprotection.govt.nz.
- Include all emails, receipts, and screenshots showing the service failure or billing error.
Warning: App stores (Apple and Google) typically process refunds faster than Shuteye directly. Try the app store route first if you subscribed through them.
Shuteye pricing and plans
Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether to cancel or switch plans.
Current shuteye plans
Shuteye offers tiered subscriptions, though exact plan names and prices vary by region and whether you purchase in-app or directly. Common tiers include Basic, Premium, and Family plans.
Check your local app store or Shuteye's website for real-time pricing in NZD, as prices change by currency and region.
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Typical price (NZD) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free/Lite | N/A | $0 | Testing before committing |
| Basic | Monthly | Varies by region | Individual users |
| Premium | Monthly or annual | Varies by region | Full features and offline access |
| Family/Multi-user | Annual | Varies by region | Household subscriptions |
| Annual (prepaid) | 12 months upfront | Usually 20-30% cheaper than monthly | Long-term users seeking value |
Pro tip: Annual plans save money but lock you in. If you're unsure about Shuteye, start with a monthly plan and upgrade only after three months of regular use.
Common mistakes when cancelling shuteye
Cancelling feels straightforward, but small oversights lead to unexpected charges and frustration.
The top pitfalls to avoid
Deleting the app instead of cancelling. Uninstalling Shuteye does nothing to stop your subscription. Your payment method still gets charged at renewal. Always cancel through settings first, then delete the app.
Cancelling on the wrong platform. If you subscribed via Apple, cancelling through the Shuteye app itself won't work - you must cancel through Apple Settings. Check your original receipt to confirm which platform charged you.
Missing the confirmation. Shuteye sends a cancellation confirmation email. If you don't receive one within 24 hours, log back in and check your subscription status. Don't assume it worked.
Forgetting the final charge date. Cancellation doesn't stop your current billing period. You'll be charged one more time on your renewal date unless you cancel before that date. Mark your calendar.
Not screenshotting proof. If Shuteye disputes your cancellation later, a screenshot of the confirmation page is your strongest evidence. Take one every time you cancel.
Ignoring app store refund options. Apple and Google process refunds faster than going directly to Shuteye. If you're within the refund window (usually 14-48 hours for app stores), start there.
