How to cancel simple life and stop charges in the philippines

What simple life is and why cancellation gets confusing

Simple Life is a health and wellness app designed around habit tracking, meal planning, and guided fasting programs. The app runs on a subscription model, which means you pay a recurring fee to access personalized wellness features, coaching tools, and daily habit support.

The confusion starts here: Simple Life publishes its terms at simplelife.com/terms, but those terms lack a clear, step-by-step cancellation procedure. For users in the Philippines paying through GCash, Maya, or credit cards, that missing detail often leads to unexpected charges hitting your account long after you thought you cancelled. At Stopee, we have helped thousands of Filipino consumers navigate exactly this problem, and we know the frustration it causes.

The good news is that cancellation is possible, and Stopee has mapped out every method you can use to stop your subscription today.

What you are actually paying for with simple life

When you subscribe to Simple Life, you are not just getting a timer or a food journal. You are paying for personalized wellness guidance, fasting protocols tailored to your habits, meal planning tools, and support for building sustainable routines around food and daily life.

That positions Simple Life alongside apps like Noom, MyFitnessPal, and Fitbit Premium, though each app handles coaching and habit tracking differently. If you signed up expecting a basic one-time purchase and discovered it was recurring, you are not alone in feeling caught off guard.

How simple life works for philippine users

Simple Life is accessible online from anywhere in the Philippines, and you can pay through multiple methods depending on where you signed up: credit card, debit card, GCash, or app store billing (Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

The help center offers real support, even if the legal terms do not. You can find the official cancellation article at help.simple.life/en/articles/13560644-how-to-cancel-your-simple-subscription, contact support via chat widget on that page, or email care@simple.life. No phone support or published support hours are listed, which means email and chat are your primary channels.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

As a consumer in the Philippines, you have clear legal protections when dealing with subscription services.

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) requires companies to clearly disclose all subscription terms, including the auto-renewal frequency, the price, and how to cancel. If Simple Life fails to provide clear cancellation instructions in its published terms, the law is on your side. You have the right to demand proof that you agreed to recurring charges, and you have the right to cancel at any time.

Section 100 of the Consumer Act explicitly protects you from hidden fees and unclear billing terms. If Simple Life charged you without your informed consent or failed to make cancellation reasonably easy, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Stopee has seen Filipino consumers successfully recover unauthorized charges through DTI escalation when companies ignore direct cancellation requests.

What the law says about refunds

The Consumer Act does not automatically guarantee a refund for services already delivered, but it does protect you if the cancellation process itself was deliberately made hard or if charges continued after you cancelled. If you stop your subscription and another charge appears on your card or wallet, the law shifts the burden of proof to Simple Life to show you authorized it.

Keep all evidence: screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and proof of the unauthorized charge. Stopee recommends building a clear timeline because it strengthens your case if you need to escalate to your bank or the DTI.

Methods to cancel simple life

You have four ways to stop your Simple Life subscription, depending on how you signed up and which channel works best for you.

Cancel through your simple life account (web or app)

This is the fastest method if your account is working properly and your cancellation flow loads without errors.

1. Open the Simple Life app or go to simple.life in your web browser.
2. Log in with your email and password.
3. Find the account settings or profile section (usually a gear icon or "My Account" link).
4. Look for "Subscription," "Billing," or "Plan" settings.
5. Tap or click "Cancel subscription" or "Manage plan."
6. Read any retention offer carefully and confirm your cancellation by tapping "Yes, cancel" or "Confirm cancellation."
7. Screenshot the confirmation page that appears after you cancel.

Warning: Some users report that the app version shows a different cancellation screen than the web version. If you see different status pages on your phone app and web account, use the web browser version because it usually shows clearer billing details and confirmation.

Pro tip: Do not close the app immediately after cancelling. Wait 10 seconds for the confirmation page to fully load, then take a screenshot. Many users miss the final confirmation message because they tap cancel and close the app too quickly.

Cancel through your app store (if you subscribed via apple app store or google play)

If you signed up through your phone's app store instead of the Simple Life website, you must cancel through that store's billing settings, not through the Simple Life app itself.

For Apple App Store users:

1. Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Select "Subscriptions."
4. Find "Simple Life" in the list and tap it.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription."
6. Choose your reason for cancelling (optional but helpful for feedback).
7. Tap "Confirm" to finalize the cancellation.
8. Take a screenshot showing "Subscription Expires" with your cancellation date.

For Google Play Store users:

1. Open Google Play on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
4. Find and tap "Simple Life."
5. Tap "Cancel subscription."
6. Review the cancellation terms and tap "Cancel subscription" again to confirm.
7. Screenshot the confirmation page that shows your cancellation date.

Warning: App store cancellations do not always sync immediately with the Simple Life app. You may still see "active subscription" on the Simple Life app for up to 24 hours after cancelling through your app store. This is normal and not an error. Your subscription will still stop on the cancellation date shown in your app store.

Email cancellation to simple life support

If the app or web interface does not load, freezes, or does not show a cancellation button, contact Simple Life directly by email.

1. Send an email to care@simple.life with the subject line "Cancel my subscription."
2. Include your full name, the email address linked to your Simple Life account, and today's date.
3. Write a clear statement: "I request to cancel my Simple Life subscription effective immediately."
4. Mention your next billing date if you know it (pull this from your screenshots).
5. Ask for written confirmation of your cancellation within 24 hours.
6. Send the email from the same address linked to your Simple Life account.
7. Save a copy of your sent email and any reply you receive.

Pro tip: Simple Life support typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. If you do not hear back within 48 hours, follow up with a second email repeating your cancellation request. Keep both emails for your records.

Use the chat support widget on the help page

The Simple Life help center at help.simple.life includes a live chat widget where you can request cancellation in real time.

1. Visit help.simple.life/en/articles/13560644-how-to-cancel-your-simple-subscription in your browser.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the chat widget (usually a small box in the bottom right corner).
3. Click the chat icon to open a support conversation.
4. Type "I want to cancel my subscription" and provide your account email address.
5. Follow the support agent's instructions and ask for a confirmation email.
6. Screenshot the entire chat conversation including the agent's final confirmation.

Warning: Chat conversations sometimes disappear from your view after you close the window. Take screenshots of the full conversation, including the support agent's name and timestamp, before you end the chat.

What to do after you cancel

Cancellation does not end with clicking the button or sending an email. You need to verify that your subscription actually stopped and that no further charges appear on your account.

It can feel unsettling to cancel and then wait, wondering if another charge will hit. That is a normal feeling, and the steps below will give you concrete confirmation.

Check your cancellation status within 24 hours

Log back into your Simple Life account (web or app) and verify that your subscription status has changed from "Active" to "Cancelled" or shows an expiration date in the near future.

• If it still shows "Active," wait another 6 to 12 hours for the system to update.
• If it still shows "Active" after 24 hours, email care@simple.life again with a screenshot showing the issue.
• If you cancelled through the app store (Apple or Google Play), check that platform's subscription list and confirm the cancellation date is visible there too.

Monitor your payment method for unauthorized charges

Check your credit card, debit card, GCash, or Maya account for the next 30 days. You should not see any new Simple Life charges after your cancellation date.

• Set a phone reminder for your original next billing date plus one day (so if billing was due on the 15th, check on the 16th).
• If a charge appears after you cancelled, note the exact amount, date, and transaction ID.
• Do not assume it is a mistake. Report it immediately to your bank or payment provider.

Save all cancellation proof

Create a folder (digital or physical) containing:

• Screenshots of your final subscription status showing "Cancelled" or the expiration date.
• The confirmation email from Simple Life or the chat transcript.
• Your sent email to care@simple.life (if you used email).
• Any receipt emails or promotional emails from Simple Life dated after your cancellation, as proof of timing.

This documentation becomes essential if you need to file a dispute with your bank or lodge a complaint with the DTI.

Refunds and when you might qualify for one

Simple Life does not automatically refund charges for partial months. However, you may qualify for a refund under the Consumer Act if your cancellation was delayed due to a technical fault, or if you were charged after you cancelled.

Refund scenarios where the law protects you

The Consumer Act of the Philippines entitles you to recovery in these situations:

• Unauthorized charge after cancellation: If your subscription was charged after the cancellation date you requested, you can demand a refund plus interest.
• System failure preventing cancellation: If the app or website blocked you from cancelling, preventing you from ending your subscription on time, you have grounds for a refund claim.
• No clear cancellation process in the terms: If Simple Life did not disclose how to cancel in its published terms (which current evidence suggests), the law says you have the right to cancel with a full refund without penalty.
• Misleading billing information: If you were not clearly told that your plan auto-renews or if the renewal price differed from the advertised price, you can file a refund claim.

How to request a refund

Email care@simple.life with a subject line: "Refund request for my Simple Life subscription."

1. State the dates you paid and when you cancelled.
2. Explain why you believe you deserve a refund (unauthorized charge, system failure, unclear terms).
3. Attach screenshots of all relevant evidence.
4. Request a response within 7 business days.
5. Keep a copy of your refund request email.

Warning: Simple Life may refuse your refund request. If they do, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the DTI. Stopee can guide you through that process.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

We know how stressful it is to worry about unwanted charges, so here are the traps that have caught other Filipino users when cancelling Simple Life.

Mistake 1: cancelling through one channel and thinking it applies everywhere

If you have Simple Life on both your phone and your web browser, cancelling in one place does not always cancel in the other immediately. Always verify cancellation on both your app and the web account dashboard.

Mistake 2: accepting a retention offer without reading the fine print

After you tap "Cancel," Simple Life may show you a discount offer to stay (e.g., "50% off next month"). Do not tap the discount link if your goal is to cancel. Tap "No, cancel anyway" or "Confirm cancellation" instead.

Mistake 3: not taking screenshots of your confirmation

If you cancel and then close the app immediately, you miss the final confirmation message. Always wait 10 seconds and screenshot the page that says "Your subscription has been cancelled" or shows your cancellation date. This screenshot is your proof.

Mistake 4: cancelling too close to your billing date

If your next billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, some subscription systems still charge you one more time because the charge was already queued. Check your next billing date before you cancel. If it is within 2 days, expect a final charge and plan to file a refund request afterward.

Mistake 5: assuming app store cancellation syncs with simple life immediately

When you cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play, the Simple Life app may still show "Active" for up to 24 hours. This is a display lag, not a cancellation failure. Your subscription will stop on the date shown in your app store billing settings.

Pricing and plan comparison for simple life

Understanding what you were paying for helps you decide if cancellation was the right choice and strengthens your case if you pursue a refund.

Pro tip: Monthly plans are easiest to cancel because your next billing date comes sooner, meaning you will not have to wait long to see that your subscription actually stopped. If you are unsure about keeping an annual plan, downgrade to monthly first.

Cancellation checklist for simple life

Use this checklist to track your cancellation step by step.

• I have logged into my Simple Life account and found my subscription status.
• I know my next billing date.
• I have screenshotted my current plan and subscription page.
• I have saved any receipt or confirmation email from my original signup.
• I have chosen my cancellation method (in-app, app store, email, or chat).
• I have completed the cancellation process and received confirmation.
• I have screenshotted the final confirmation message or email.
• I have checked both my app and web account to confirm cancellation status.
• I have backed up any health or habit data I want to keep.
• I have set a calendar reminder to check my payment method 1 day after my next scheduled billing date.
• I have created a folder with all cancellation proof (screenshots, emails, chat transcript).
• I will monitor for unauthorized charges for the next 30 days.

When you should keep your simple life subscription instead

Cancellation is the right choice for some, but not for everyone. Before you finalize, consider whether Simple Life is actually serving you.

Keep your subscription if: You are actively using the app at least 3 times per week, you have built genuine habit momentum, and the price fits your budget without stress. If the app has helped you establish a fasting or meal planning routine that works, the cost may be worth the results.

Cancel if: You opened the app less than twice in the last month, the meal plans do not fit your taste or dietary needs, you did not know it was charging until your bank statement shocked you, or the recurring fee creates financial stress. Cancellation is free and you can always resubscribe later.
