Manage Btwb (Beyond The Whiteboard)

How to cancel btwb (Beyond the whiteboard) in south africa: your complete guide

What is btwb and why you might want to cancel

Beyond The Whiteboard (Btwb) is a fitness tracking and analytics platform designed for athletes, coaches and gym owners. The app logs your workouts, measures your progress and generates performance reports you can access from iOS, Android or the web. If you subscribed through the App Store, Google Play or directly through Btwb's web interface, you're paying a monthly or yearly fee to keep your fitness data organised and accessible.

You might want to cancel Btwb because you've switched to another fitness tracking app, you're no longer training intensively, your gym no longer uses the platform, or the subscription simply doesn't fit your budget anymore. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through every step-including the traps that keep people paying longer than they should.

Who uses btwb and where it operates

Btwb is especially popular among CrossFit boxes, personal trainers and serious athletes who want automated workout logging and detailed analytics. The company is headquartered in the United States, but South African fitness enthusiasts use it widely. If you signed up while training at a gym or through a referral, you're likely on a personal subscription tied to either Apple's App Store, Google Play, or Btwb's own web platform.

Why cancellation matters in south africa

As a South African consumer, you're protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which gives you specific rights around digital services and subscriptions. Understanding how to cancel properly-and knowing your rights if a refund is refused-puts you in control. Stopee helps thousands of South African consumers navigate these cancellations every year, and we want to make sure you don't accidentally keep paying for a service you no longer use.

Btwb pricing and what you're paying for

Monthly and yearly plans explained

Btwb offers two main subscription tiers: a monthly plan and a yearly plan. Both include the same core features-workout logging, performance analytics, member management (if you're a coach) and access across all platforms. The yearly plan offers better value per month, but commits you to a full year of charges. The table below shows approximate South African Rand costs based on typical USD-to-ZAR conversions; actual amounts charged by your app store may vary slightly depending on daily exchange rates.

Keep in mind that these are estimates based on exchange rates at the time of writing. Your actual charge in South African Rand will depend on the rate when your subscription renews. Always check your bank statement to see exactly what you're being charged.

How to cancel btwb depending on how you subscribed

Cancel btwb if you subscribed through apple app store (iOS)

If you signed up for Btwb through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your subscription and billing. You cancel directly through Apple's settings, not through Btwb itself. This is the cleanest method because Apple handles the renewal immediately.

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple device.
   • Look for the gear icon on your home screen.
2. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the Settings menu.
   • You may need to scroll up to see it.
3. Select Subscriptions.
   • This shows all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
4. Find and tap Beyond The Whiteboard from the list.
   • If you don't see it, scroll down-subscription lists can be long.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription (or Edit Subscription if it appears first).
   • Read the confirmation message carefully.
6. Confirm your cancellation by tapping Confirm Cancel.
   • Apple will send you a confirmation email.
   • You'll retain access to Btwb until the end of your current billing period.

Pro tip: Screenshot the confirmation screen. If you're ever charged again by mistake, you'll have proof that you cancelled. Stopee recommends keeping these records for at least six months.

Cancel btwb if you subscribed through google play (Android)

Android users who signed up through Google Play follow a similar process, but through Google's payment system instead. Google processes the cancellation and stops future renewals immediately.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Look for the colourful Play Store icon.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • This is usually a small circle with your initial or photo.
3. Select Payments & subscriptions.
   • You may see it as "Manage subscriptions" depending on your Android version.
4. Tap Subscriptions.
   • This lists all your active subscriptions.
5. Find and tap Beyond The Whiteboard.
   • Scroll if needed to locate it in the list.
6. Tap Cancel subscription.
   • Google will ask you to confirm your reason (optional).
7. Confirm the cancellation on the final screen.
   • Google sends confirmation to your email.
   • Your access continues until your billing cycle ends.

Warning: If you delete the Btwb app from your Android device without cancelling the subscription first, you'll still be charged. Always cancel through Google Play before deleting the app.

Cancel btwb if you subscribed directly through the web platform

If you signed up directly at Btwb's website (not through an app store), you manage your subscription through your Btwb account dashboard. This method requires you to log in and access your account settings directly.

1. Visit the Btwb website and log into your account.
   • Use the email and password you registered with.
2. Navigate to your Account Settings or Billing section.
   • Look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) or a gear icon.
   • Subscription settings are usually found under "Account" or "Preferences".
3. Find the Subscriptions or Billing tab.
   • This shows your current plan and renewal date.
4. Select Cancel Subscription or Manage Plan.
   • Btwb may ask why you're cancelling (optional feedback).
5. Confirm your cancellation request.
   • You should receive an email confirmation immediately.
   • Check your spam folder if you don't see it within 10 minutes.
6. Delete your account if you want to remove all your data (optional but recommended).
   • Account deletion is usually a separate step found in privacy or data settings.
   • Export your workout logs first if you want to keep records.

Pro tip: Web-based cancellations sometimes take 24-48 hours to process. If you're charged before the cancellation is processed, contact Btwb support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email. Stopee has helped many users recover unexpected charges by providing proof of timely cancellation.

What happens after you cancel btwb

Your access and account status after cancellation

Cancelling Btwb doesn't immediately cut off your access. You retain full functionality until the end of your current billing period-whether that's the end of this month or the end of your yearly subscription. This grace period allows you to download any workout data or screenshots you want to keep.

After your billing period ends, your account will be downgraded and you won't be able to log new workouts or access your full analytics. You may still see read-only access to past data depending on Btwb's policy, but you won't be charged again.

Renewing accidentally and what to do

If you're charged again after cancellation, it's usually because the cancellation didn't process properly on the platform you used. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Btwb. If you have confirmation but were still charged, contact Btwb support with your confirmation email and ask for a refund. Include your order number and the date you cancelled.

If Btwb refuses to refund an accidental charge, you have rights under South Africa's Consumer Protection Act. Stopee recommends documenting everything and escalating to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) if the company won't cooperate.

Will you get a refund when you cancel btwb

Btwb's refund policy explained

Beyond The Whiteboard generally does not offer refunds for subscription fees once they've been charged. This is standard for software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. Their terms state that subscriptions are non-refundable-you're paying for access to the service during your billing period, not purchasing a physical product you can return.

However, there are exceptions. If you cancel during a free trial before your first charge, you won't be billed at all. If Btwb fails to deliver the service (the app is completely broken, for example), you may have grounds for a partial refund under South African consumer law.

Refunds through apple and google

Apple and Google have their own refund policies separate from Btwb's. If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple may approve a refund if you request it within 14 days of the charge and can explain why the service didn't meet your expectations. Google Play offers similar protections but with slightly different rules.

To request a refund from Apple, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > Purchase History, find the Btwb charge, tap "Report a Problem", and explain why you want a refund. Google Play refunds are requested through your Google Play account under "Order History".

Your consumer rights and what qualifies as grounds for refund

South Africa's Consumer Protection Act gives you the right to cancel digital services if they don't conform to quality standards or fail to deliver as promised. If Btwb's app crashes constantly, doesn't sync your workouts properly, or fails to provide the analytics you paid for, you have grounds to ask for a refund or credit. You don't need to accept a broken service just because "refunds aren't offered".

Document any service failures with screenshots and dates, then contact Btwb support with your evidence. If they refuse to help, escalate to the National Consumer Commission. Stopee has seen the NCC intervene successfully on behalf of South African consumers when companies ignore consumer law protections.

Your consumer rights in south africa

What the consumer protection act means for your btwb subscription

The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) is your shield as a South African digital consumer. It requires companies to deliver services that are of good quality, safe to use and accurately described. Btwb must honour its promises about what features you get and how the app performs.

You also have the right to clear information before you pay. Btwb must disclose its cancellation terms, refund policy and auto-renewal details upfront. If they bury this information or make cancellation deliberately hard, that violates the CPA.

Cooling-off periods and automatic renewals

South Africa does not have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period for digital services like Btwb (that rule applies mainly to distance sales of goods). However, the CPA does protect you from unfair contract terms. If Btwb's auto-renewal is unclear or difficult to cancel, you can challenge it.

Most importantly, companies must make cancellation as easy as signing up. If Btwb forces you to email support or jump through hoops to cancel, that's potentially unfair. Stopee recommends cancelling through the same method you used to subscribe-app store for app store, web for web.

Escalation if btwb won't cooperate

If you cancel Btwb but are still charged, or if the company refuses to refund a failed service, follow this escalation path:

1. Email Btwb support with your cancellation proof and the charge you dispute. Give them 14 days to respond.
2. If they ignore you or refuse unfairly, lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). Visit www.ncc.org.za to submit your case online.
3. Include your cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing the charge, and Btwb's response (or lack thereof).
4. The NCC will investigate at no cost to you and may order Btwb to refund you or remove the charge.

You can also dispute the charge with your bank if Btwb won't refund it. Contact your bank's dispute team with evidence that you cancelled and were overcharged. Most South African banks will reverse fraudulent or disputed subscription charges within 30 days.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling btwb

Cancelling a subscription sounds simple, but small missteps mean you keep paying months longer than you should. We hear from South African users who thought they'd cancelled but discovered recurring charges on their bank statements. These mistakes are avoidable if you know what to watch for.

Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription

This is the most common trap. Deleting the Btwb app from your phone does nothing to stop your subscription. The app and the subscription are separate. Your payment method is still on file with Apple, Google, or Btwb, and the company will keep charging you until you formally cancel through the correct channel.

Always cancel the subscription first (through app store settings or your Btwb account), then delete the app if you want to. Stopee recommends waiting 24 hours after cancellation to delete the app, just to be safe.

Cancelling on one platform but subscribing on another

Some users accidentally have multiple active subscriptions to Btwb-one through the App Store, one through Google Play, or one through the web. They cancel one and think they're done, but the others keep charging. Check all three payment methods to see where you're actually subscribed.

Log into your Apple ID, Google Account, and Btwb's website directly. Look at "Subscriptions" or "Billing" on each one. If you find multiple active Btwb subscriptions, cancel all of them.

Ignoring confirmation emails and not checking bank statements

After you cancel, always check your email (including spam) for confirmation from Apple, Google, or Btwb. If you don't receive confirmation within 24 hours, try cancelling again or contact support. Then check your bank statement on your next billing cycle to confirm the charge didn't come through.

Set a phone reminder for the day before your next expected billing date. If the charge appears, dispute it immediately with your bank and forward your cancellation confirmation as proof.

Checklist: before and after you cancel btwb

Use this checklist to make sure you cancel Btwb correctly and don't leave anything behind.

Summary and next steps

Cancelling Btwb in South Africa is straightforward once you know which method to use. If you subscribed through Apple, cancel through Apple Settings. If you used Google Play, cancel through Google Play. If you signed up on the web, cancel through your Btwb account. Each method takes fewer than five minutes, and you retain access to the service until the end of your billing period.

You're protected by South Africa's Consumer Protection Act. If Btwb refuses a refund for a broken service or overcharges you after cancellation, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission at no cost. Keep your confirmation emails and bank statements as proof.
