Cancel Howly: The Right Way to Stop Your Subscription
How to cancel howly and understand your subscription rights in singapore
What howly is and how it works
Howly is a subscription-based platform that links you with qualified experts for real-time advice, technical support, and personalised guidance. You access services through a web browser or mobile app, connecting on demand or by scheduled sessions depending on your needs.
The service covers device troubleshooting, software assistance, and bespoke support across various topics. Your billing and subscription terms depend on where you signed up-whether through the Howly website directly or through Apple's App Store-which affects how you cancel and what refund rights apply.
Subscription tiers and access
Howly operates on a recurring subscription model. You pay upfront to access the platform for a set period, then automatic renewal charges occur unless you cancel before the renewal date. During your active subscription, you enjoy unlimited or session-based access to expert advisors, depending on your plan tier.
Where howly is registered
The official Howly contact page lists a Gibraltar address under Lemandale Limited. Third-party sources reference addresses in Cyprus (TSFF Holdings Limited) and the USA (Technicium Corp.), though these are not confirmed on Howly's official website. No Singapore-based registered office appears in publicly available sources, which is important if you need to escalate a dispute through local consumer channels.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unfair trade practices, misleading statements about goods and services, and unconscionable conduct by traders. Understanding your rights helps you respond effectively if Howly misrepresents features, charges you without consent, or refuses reasonable refund requests.
What protection you have
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to accurate information about pricing, subscription terms, and cancellation procedures. If Howly charges you after cancellation, conceals fees, or locks you into auto-renewal without clear consent, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
Unlike the European Economic Area, Singapore does not grant an automatic 14-day cooling-off period for digital services. However, Howly's own terms allow a 7-day refund window for web-based subscriptions, and this is binding on the company.
When to involve regulators
If Howly ignores cancellation requests, continues charging after you cancel, or refuses a legitimate refund claim, contact CASE first. CASE provides free dispute resolution and can mediate between you and Howly. If the company fails to comply or you suspect deceptive practices, report the issue to the CCCS, which has enforcement power.
Cancellation methods by platform
How you cancel Howly depends entirely on where you set up your subscription. The steps differ significantly between web subscriptions and App Store purchases, and Stopee guides you through both paths to ensure you cancel correctly and protect your refund rights.
Cancel via the howly website
If you subscribed through Howly's official website, you cancel directly in your account settings. This is the most straightforward method and gives you the clearest record of cancellation.
- Sign in to your Howly account at the official website using your email and password.
- If you cannot remember your login details, use the "Forgot password" option to reset.
- Navigate to My Account and select the Subscription tab.
- This tab displays your current plan, billing date, and renewal amount.
- Locate and click the "Cancel subscription" button.
- You may see a retention offer or survey-proceed to confirm cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation in the popup or follow-up page.
- Stopee recommends taking a screenshot of the confirmation message for your records.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Howly.
- Pro tip: Save this email indefinitely; it proves the date and time of your cancellation.
Warning: Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but does not delete your account. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, you must cancel through your Apple ID settings, not within the Howly app. Howly itself does not process App Store refunds; Apple handles that relationship directly.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Do not open the Howly app itself-cancellation happens in Apple Settings.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select Subscriptions.
- This shows all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find Howly in the list and tap it.
- The list is alphabetical, so scroll if needed.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple may offer a discounted plan-skip this unless you want to stay subscribed.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You will receive an Apple confirmation email immediately.
Warning: Howly states it has no obligation to issue refunds for App Store cancellations. Any refund claim must go through Apple, and Apple's policy typically grants refunds only within 48 hours of the charge date, except in cases of misleading marketing or service failure. Stopee advises contacting Apple directly if you believe the charge was unfair.
Contact howly support directly
If you cannot cancel through your account or the App Store, email Howly's support team. Keep this as a backup method and always follow up in writing so you have proof of your request.
- Send an email to support@howly.com with the subject "Subscription cancellation request."
- Include your full name, email address, and the phone number associated with your Howly account.
- Clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription and want confirmation of the cancellation date.
- Include the date of your next renewal charge if you know it.
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation.
- State a reasonable deadline, such as "Please confirm within 5 business days."
- Keep a copy of your email and any response from Howly.
- This written trail is essential if you need to dispute a post-cancellation charge.
Pro tip: Combine this method with the account cancellation steps above. Cancelling through your account settings while notifying support in writing creates a double layer of proof-exactly what Stopee recommends for high-risk situations.
Refund eligibility and how to claim
Howly's refund policy varies depending on how you subscribed and when. Knowing the specific rules that apply to you is critical, because the company does not guarantee refunds in all cases.
Web-based subscriptions (7-day window)
If you subscribed via the Howly website, you may request a full or partial refund within 7 days of starting your subscription. This applies to the current billing period only. Refunds for service already delivered are adjusted or denied depending on Howly's discretion.
To claim a web refund, email support@howly.com with your account details and request within the 7-day window. Stopee advises doing this as soon as you decide the service is not right for you, because waiting reduces your negotiating position.
App store subscriptions (Apple's policy)
Howly explicitly states it does not guarantee refunds for App Store purchases. Apple controls the refund process. You can request a refund from Apple within 48 hours of purchase in most cases, but Apple may deny refunds if you have already accessed the service extensively.
To claim an App Store refund, open the App Store app on your iOS device, tap your profile picture, select "Purchases," find Howly, and report a problem. Explain why you believe the charge was unfair-for example, if the service did not match its description or was not delivered as promised.
EEA and swiss consumer protections
If you are based in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, you have a statutory 14-day withdrawal right. Howly must refund your payment minus any service actually delivered. Stopee notes that these rules often apply even if you subscribed from Singapore but hold an EEA or Swiss address.
Timeline and what happens after you cancel
Cancelling your Howly subscription does not end your access immediately. You retain full use of the platform until your current billing period expires, but you stop paying at renewal.
Access and service continuation
Once you cancel, Howly stops the automatic renewal. You continue to enjoy expert access until the date your subscription was originally set to renew. For example, if your renewal was scheduled for 20 January 2025 and you cancel on 10 January, you keep full access until 20 January.
After that date, Howly will revoke your access. You can no longer book sessions or contact advisors, but any contact history remains visible in your account.
Billing safeguards and timeline
You must cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. Cancelling within 24 hours of renewal may still result in a charge-if this happens, contact Howly immediately and request a reversal, citing your cancellation attempt.
Pro tip: Set a phone reminder for 2 days before your renewal date. This gives you a safety buffer and ensures you cancel on time. Stopee recommends this simple step to prevent accidental re-charges.
Account and data retention
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account or personal data. Howly retains your account indefinitely unless you request closure. If you want your data removed or your account permanently closed, email support@howly.com and ask for both actions explicitly.
Pricing and plan comparison
Howly's pricing varies by region and plan tier. Always check the official website or app for current prices in your location, because no confirmed Singapore Dollar (SGD) pricing was found in publicly available sources as of 2025.
Where to verify pricing
Log in to your Howly account on the website to see your plan, price, and renewal amount in your local currency. Open the Howly app on iOS to see pricing and current offers. Visit the Howly Help Center (https://howly.com/info/help-center/) for official information on available tiers.

| Third-party review sites | Medium to low | Prices change frequently; use for context only. |
| Social media or forums | Low | Often outdated or region-specific; not authoritative. |
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancelling a subscription sounds simple, but many people slip up in ways that lead to surprise charges or lost refunds. Your awareness and a few precautions prevent frustration and wasted money.
Mistake 1: assuming account deletion means cancellation
Deleting the Howly app or logging out of your account does not cancel your subscription. You must explicitly click the cancellation button or email support. If you delete the app without cancelling, charges continue until the renewal date passes.
Mistake 2: missing the 24-hour cutoff
Cancelling within 24 hours of your renewal date often fails to stop the charge. Always check your renewal date in your account and cancel at least 2 days early. If you miss this window and get charged, dispute the charge with your payment provider immediately.
Mistake 3: not saving cancellation proof
If you cancel via the website and do not save the confirmation message or email, you have no proof if Howly later claims you never cancelled. Screenshot every cancellation screen and keep all support emails. Stopee has seen countless cases where this evidence was the difference between a refund and a lost dispute.
Mistake 4: cancelling on app store but forgetting your web account
If you have both a web subscription and an App Store subscription on the same account, you must cancel both separately. Cancelling one does not touch the other. Check your account settings on both platforms to confirm no active subscriptions remain.
Mistake 5: ignoring post-cancellation charges
If Howly charges you after you cancel, do not assume it is an error and ignore it. Contact support immediately and demand a refund. If support refuses, dispute the charge with your credit card or bank, citing your cancellation proof. Stopee advises acting within 60 days of the unwanted charge to maximize your dispute window.
Escalation: when cancellation or refund disputes arise
Most cancellations proceed smoothly, but if Howly ignores your request, refuses a legitimate refund, or keeps charging after you cancel, you need a structured escalation plan.
Step 1: contact howly support in writing
Send a formal email to support@howly.com outlining the issue-for example, "I cancelled on [date], received confirmation email [reference], but was charged on [date]. I request a full refund of SGD [amount]." Set a 10-day deadline for a response. Keep this email simple, clear, and factual.
Step 2: dispute with your payment provider
Contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a dispute. Provide your cancellation proof, the unwanted charge statement, and any correspondence with Howly. Most card issuers will reverse charges if you show evidence of cancellation. This often forces Howly to respond.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with CASE
If Howly still refuses to refund or respond, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE offers free mediation and can pressure companies to settle. You can file a complaint online at case.org.sg or call CASE at 6100 0315. Provide all your documentation-cancellation proof, charge statements, and email correspondence.
Step 4: report to the CCCS (if deceptive practices apply)
If you believe Howly has engaged in misleading advertising, hidden fees, or other unfair practices under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, report it to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). The CCCS can open an investigation and take enforcement action.
