Cancel Keto Diet App: The Right Way

How to cancel your Keto Diet App subscription in ireland and claim your refund

Understanding the Keto Diet App and why you might cancel

The Keto Diet App (also known as Keto.app) is a mobile nutrition tracker designed for people following ketogenic and low-carb diets. The app provides a searchable food database, barcode scanning for quick meal logging, custom recipe creation, water and weight tracking, and the ability to sync activity data across both iOS and Android devices. You can access basic features on the free tier, or upgrade to a PRO subscription for unlimited daily entries and advanced tracking tools. The service bills you monthly, quarterly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase, all charged in EUR for users in Ireland.

You might decide to cancel for many legitimate reasons: you've reached your fitness goals, the free version meets your current needs, you prefer a different tracking app, or you simply want to pause your subscription while you reassess. Whatever your reason, you have clear legal rights as a consumer in Ireland, and Tocancel is here to walk you through the cancellation process with confidence.

Pricing plans and billing cycles

Understanding your current plan and billing date is essential before you cancel, as it directly affects your refund eligibility under Irish consumer law. The Keto Diet App charges in EUR and renews automatically on the anniversary of your subscription start date unless you cancel before that date arrives.

Key reasons users in ireland cancel

You might cancel because you have reached your weight loss or fitness targets, the basic features on the free plan now suit your needs, you have switched to a competitor app, or you want to manage your monthly expenses. Each of these reasons is valid, and Tocancel recognises that cancellation decisions are personal. The important thing is that you know your legal position and can act quickly and confidently.

Your consumer rights under irish law

Irish consumer law gives you specific protections when you purchase digital services like app subscriptions, and it is important you understand these rights before you cancel.

The 14-day cooling-off period

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and the European Distance Selling Regulations, you have a 14-day cooling-off period starting from the date you first subscribe to the Keto Diet App. This means you can request a full refund within 14 days of your initial charge, provided you have not made substantial use of the service. In practice, if you downloaded the app, tried it briefly, and decided it was not for you, you qualify for a refund. If you have logged hundreds of meals and tracked your weight over several weeks, you may have forfeited this right because you have used the service extensively.

Your legal position is straightforward: if you cancel within 14 days and have not used the app significantly, you have the right to your money back. After 14 days, you can still cancel, but you will not receive a refund for the current billing period unless the company agrees to one as a goodwill gesture.

Your right to cancel at any time

Even after the 14-day cooling-off period ends, you retain the absolute right to cancel your subscription at any time. The Consumer Rights Act 2022 makes clear that subscription contracts must allow you to exit without penalty. Once your cancellation takes effect, you will not be charged for future billing periods. You will, however, lose access to PRO features immediately or at the end of your current billing period, depending on how the app handles the cancellation.

Your right to clear cancellation information

The law requires that the Keto Diet App provides you with transparent, easy-to-find information about how to cancel before you subscribe. If the company has buried this information, made it deliberately hard to locate, or failed to provide it at all, that is a breach of your consumer rights. If you encounter this problem, you can escalate your complaint to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Ireland's dedicated consumer protection authority.

How to cancel your Keto Diet App subscription

The Keto Diet App offers three main cancellation channels, and Tocancel recommends choosing the one that leaves you with the clearest written record of your request.

Method 1: use the in-app support chat feature

The quickest way to cancel is often through the app itself. Open the Keto Diet App on your phone and follow these steps:

1. Open the Keto Diet App on your iOS or Android device
2. Navigate to the Today screen (your main dashboard)
3. Locate and tap the "Support Chat" button, usually found at the top or bottom of the screen
4. Type a clear message: "I would like to cancel my PRO subscription immediately" and include your email address
5. Wait for a response from the support team, which typically arrives within 24 to 48 hours
6. Confirm that your cancellation has been processed by checking your account settings

This method is fast and often results in an immediate response, but you must take a screenshot of the chat conversation to prove your request was made. Do not rely on verbal promises; always ask for written confirmation.

Method 2: submit a cancellation request via the in-app contact form

If the chat feature is unavailable or slow, you can use the contact form built into the app. Here is how:

1. Open the Keto Diet App
2. Tap the Profile tab, usually found at the bottom right of the screen
3. Look for and click the "Contact Form" or "Support" button
4. Select the reason for your message (choose "Cancellation" or "Subscription issue" if available)
5. Write a clear subject line: "Cancellation request for my PRO subscription"
6. In the message body, include:
   • Your full name
   • Your registered email address
   • Your subscription start date (if you know it)
   • A simple statement: "I wish to cancel my subscription effective immediately"
7. Submit the form and note the confirmation number or reference ID if one is provided

This method creates a timestamped record within the app system, which is valuable if you later need to prove you requested cancellation. Keep the reference number safe.

Method 3: email the support team directly

For the most formal and documented cancellation route, contact the support team by email. The process is straightforward:

1. Locate the support email address in the app settings or the app store listing (check under "Support" or "Contact Us")
2. Open your email client and compose a new message
3. Use a subject line such as: "Subscription cancellation request"
4. Include in your email:
   • Your full name and registered email address
   • The email address linked to your Keto Diet App account
   • Your subscription plan (Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual PRO)
   • Your subscription start date if known
   • A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my PRO subscription with immediate effect"
   • Today's date
5. Send the email and save a copy to your records
6. Wait for a response confirming your cancellation within 5 to 10 business days

Email provides the strongest legal record because it creates a timestamped trail. If the company later claims it never received your request, you have undeniable proof that you sent it.

Understanding refunds and what you can expect

Your refund rights depend entirely on when you cancel and how much you have used the app, so it is important you understand the timeline.

Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period

If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge and have not made substantial use of the service, you have a legal right to a full refund. The company must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. In practice, refunds often take 5 to 10 business days to appear in your bank account or payment method, depending on your bank. If you do not see the refund within this timeframe, contact Tocancel or the CCPC, because the company may be in breach of consumer law.

Cancellations after the 14-day period

If you cancel after 14 days, you will not receive a refund for your current billing period under consumer law. However, your subscription will end, and you will not be charged again. For example, if you paid €11.99 for an annual plan on 1 March and cancel on 30 April, you will not receive a refund for the April charge, but you will not be billed again on 1 March the following year.

Some companies offer refunds or credits as a goodwill gesture if you request them politely, particularly if you cancel near the start of a billing cycle. It never hurts to ask, but do not expect it as a right.

Lifetime plan cancellations

If you purchased a lifetime plan for €29.99, you cannot cancel it in the traditional sense because it is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. However, if you purchased it within 14 days and have barely used it, you may still qualify for a refund under the cooling-off period. Contact the support team with proof of your purchase date and request, referencing the Consumer Rights Act 2022.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Cancellation can feel uncertain, so it is reassuring to know exactly what to expect in the hours and days after you submit your request.

Access and account status

When you cancel, the company may immediately revoke your PRO features, or it may allow you to use PRO until the end of your current billing period. You will revert to the free tier, which means your unlimited entry limits will be reinstated and some advanced features will be locked. Your data (food logs, weight entries, recipes) remains in your account and is not deleted, so you can still view your history. However, you will not be able to add new entries once your PRO access ends unless you subscribe again.

Confirmation and follow-up

You should receive a confirmation email or in-app notification within 24 to 48 hours of your cancellation request. If you do not, send a polite follow-up email saying "I submitted a cancellation request on [date]. Can you please confirm that my subscription has been cancelled?" Keep this follow-up in your records as well.

Check your next billing date

Log into your account settings and verify that no future charges are scheduled. If you see a renewal date still listed, contact the support team immediately and request written confirmation that the subscription has been cancelled. Do not assume the cancellation went through just because you asked; always verify in writing.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation should be straightforward, yet many consumers make avoidable errors that delay the process or weaken their legal position. Be aware of these pitfalls so you can sidestep them.

Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

Simply removing the Keto Diet App from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The charges will continue, and you will not realise it until you check your bank statement weeks later. You must actively cancel through the methods listed above. Always cancel before you delete the app.

Mistake 2: failing to document your cancellation request

If you cancel via in-app chat without taking a screenshot, or you call the support team without noting the name and time of your call, you have no proof of your request if the company denies receiving it. Always use email or documented in-app methods, and always save confirmation numbers or reference IDs.

Mistake 3: not checking your bank statement after cancellation

Even after you believe you have cancelled, check your bank or credit card statement 5 to 10 days later. If you are still being charged, you have evidence that the company did not process your cancellation, and you can escalate to your bank or the CCPC. Tocancel strongly recommends setting a phone reminder to check your account one week after you submit your cancellation request.

Mistake 4: requesting a refund too late

If you wait more than 14 days from your initial purchase to request a refund, you will almost certainly be denied unless the company offers a goodwill refund. The 14-day cooling-off period is strict, so act quickly if you want your money back.

Mistake 5: not escalating to the CCPC if the company refuses to cancel

If the Keto Diet App refuses to cancel your subscription or ignores your requests, do not give up. You have a right to complain to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), the government authority that enforces consumer law in Ireland. Tocancel recommends filing a complaint at www.ccpc.ie if the company does not respond within 10 business days.
