How to cancel Readora and stop unwanted charges in the philippines
What Readora is and why cancelling matters to your wallet
Readora operates as a digital reading platform offering e-books and audiobooks through a recurring monthly subscription model. When you signed up-whether through their website or app-you agreed to automatic monthly renewals from your linked payment method unless you actively cancel before your next billing cycle. The company behind Readora has kept public cancellation details intentionally vague, which is why countless Philippine users find themselves trapped in a cycle of unwanted charges.
The core problem is straightforward: Readora debits your saved payment method automatically each month, and the cancellation process requires you to navigate either your app store settings or contact their support team directly. Many subscribers report that they attempted to cancel, genuinely believed the cancellation succeeded, and then discovered another charge on their bank statement weeks later. This guide on Tocancel exists to help you avoid that frustration and take back control of your subscription.
How readora's subscription model charges you
When you subscribe to Readora, you pay for temporary access to a digital library for one month only. Your subscription automatically renews on your billing date unless you cancel before that specific date. Tocancel emphasises that you are paying for access to content during your subscription period, not purchasing or owning any books or audiobooks.
The monthly charge deducts from your stored payment method-your credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet linked to your App Store or Google Play account. This automatic deduction is why many subscribers lose track of the service, especially if they signed up rapidly inside an app without saving confirmation details.
Why philippine Readora users struggle to cancel
Filipino subscribers consistently report the same obstacles: cancellation steps are buried or missing in the app, support responses arrive after weeks or never arrive at all, and charges persist even after multiple cancellation attempts. The documented support email is [email protected], though users report extended wait times for replies. Pricing information is also inconsistent across sources, ranging from PHP 219 monthly to vague international rates, creating additional confusion.
At Tocancel, we have tracked these patterns across dozens of subscription services, and the evidence is clear: unclear cancellation pathways trap consumers who end up paying longer than they intended. Your goal is to cancel with documented proof before your next billing date.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) grants you specific protections when dealing with subscription services and billing disputes.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
Under the Consumer Act, you hold the legal right to cancel any subscription service and receive a refund for services not yet rendered. If you cancel before your renewal date, Readora must not charge you for the following month. If Readora charges you after you have submitted a cancellation request, you have legal standing to dispute that charge with your bank and demand a full refund.
The law also mandates that cancellation processes be transparent and accessible. If Readora hides the cancellation option, obscures it, or deliberately makes cancellation difficult to locate, that conduct likely violates the Consumer Act. Tocancel always recommends documenting every step of your cancellation attempt so you have evidence if you need to escalate to your bank or the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
How to escalate if Readora refuses to process your cancellation
If you cancel with documented proof and Readora continues charging you, follow this escalation path: First, request a chargeback from your bank within 60 days of the unwanted charge. Second, file a written complaint with the DTI (dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI Regional Office) if the bank does not resolve the issue within 30 days. Third, contact the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Cybercrime Division if you suspect fraudulent activity.
Your legal position is strong: the burden of proof lies on Readora to demonstrate that you authorised each charge, not on you to prove you cancelled. Keep all screenshots, email confirmations, and bank statements as evidence.
How to cancel Readora before you are charged again
Cancelling Readora requires you to identify where you signed up and then follow the correct removal steps for that platform.
Identify where you subscribed to Readora
Before you cancel, you must establish whether you signed up directly through Readora's website or through a third-party app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). This determines your cancellation method. Check your email for a confirmation receipt; it will typically state the platform. If you cannot find the receipt, log into your Apple ID or Google Play account and review your subscription list.
Cancel Readora if you subscribed through apple app store
If you use an iPhone or iPad and subscribed through the Apple App Store, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name or Apple ID at the top of the screen
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find and tap "Readora" in the list
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation
- Take a screenshot showing "Cancelled" status immediately
- Exit Settings and send yourself a screenshot via email as a backup record
Apple will process your cancellation immediately, and you will retain access to Readora until the end of your current billing period. No charge will occur on your next renewal date.
Cancel Readora if you subscribed through google play store
If you use an Android device and subscribed through Google Play Store, follow these steps:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find and tap "Readora"
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen
- Save this screenshot to your phone and email it to yourself
Google will cease billing on your next renewal date, and your Readora access will end when your current subscription expires.
Cancel Readora if you subscribed directly through their website
If you subscribed directly through Readora's website or cannot recall which platform you used, you must contact Readora's support team directly:
- Email [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request for Readora Account"
- Include your full name, email address associated with your Readora account, and the phone number you used to register
- Clearly state: "I request immediate cancellation of my Readora subscription effective today. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 48 hours."
- Send the email from the same email address you used to create your Readora account
- Do not use informal language; keep the tone professional and clear
- Save the email you send as a draft or forward it to yourself as proof of submission
- Allow 48 hours for a response; if you receive no reply, proceed to file a chargeback with your bank
This documented email creates a legal record that you requested cancellation, which strengthens your position if Readora continues charging you.
Pricing and billing details for Readora in the philippines
Understanding Readora's pricing structure helps you calculate any refunds you may be owed and identify patterns of overcharging.

What happens after you cancel Readora
Cancelling Readora triggers a sequence of events that you should monitor closely.
Immediate steps after cancellation
Within 24 hours of cancelling, check your bank statement or app store account to confirm that no new charge has been applied. If a charge appears, take a screenshot immediately and email it to yourself. Log back into Readora (if you still have access) and verify that your subscription status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If the status still shows "Active" or "Renewing", contact support again with your previous cancellation email as reference.
What to do if Readora charges you after cancellation
If a charge appears on your statement after your cancellation date, act immediately:
- Contact your bank and request a chargeback within 60 days of the charge
- Provide your bank with: the cancellation screenshot, the support email you sent, and any app store confirmation
- File a complaint with the DTI Consumer Assistance Division (dti.gov.ph) if your bank denies the chargeback
- Keep all evidence together in a folder on your phone and computer
Your bank must respond to your chargeback claim within 30 business days. Most banks will reverse the charge in your favour if you provide clear proof of cancellation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Readora
Cancellation attempts often fail because subscribers underestimate how carefully they must document their steps. Here are the traps to dodge.
Mistake 1: assuming deletion means cancellation
Simply deleting the Readora app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app will continue charging you automatically even after deletion. You must complete the formal cancellation process through your app store or email support, not just remove the app icon.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If your billing date is 28 March and you cancel on 26 March, Readora may still charge you on 28 March because the renewal has already been authorised. Cancel at least 5 to 7 days before your renewal date to ensure the system processes your cancellation in time. Check your app store account or confirmation email to identify your exact billing date.
Mistake 3: forgetting to take screenshots
If you cancel through your app store but do not capture a screenshot of the "Cancelled" confirmation, you have no proof of cancellation if Readora disputes your claim later. Screenshot every step: the subscription page showing Readora, the cancellation button, and the final confirmation screen. Save these images immediately to your phone's backup cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud).
Mistake 4: not checking your statement for 30 days
Many subscribers assume their cancellation worked and then forget to monitor their bank statement for the next 30 days. A charge may appear on day 28 of your billing cycle, long after you cancelled. Set a calendar reminder to check your statement on the day after your renewal date should have occurred. If no charge appears, your cancellation succeeded.
Mistake 5: using an old support email address
If you send your cancellation email to an incorrect support address (or an address no longer monitored by Readora), your cancellation request may never reach the intended recipient. Always send to [email protected] and request written confirmation of receipt within 48 hours. If you receive no response, assume the email was not received and resend it.
How to avoid future subscription traps like Readora
Readora is far from the only subscription service designed to be easy to join and difficult to leave. Tocancel has identified patterns that help you identify and cancel risky subscriptions before they drain your budget.
Red flags to watch for in new subscriptions
Before subscribing to any digital service, check whether: (1) the cancellation option is clearly visible in the app or website, (2) the company lists a primary email or phone support contact, (3) customer reviews mention cancellation difficulties, and (4) the app store page explains the auto-renewal terms in plain language. If any of these are missing or vague, Tocancel recommends you avoid the service or use a disposable payment method.
Create a subscription audit spreadsheet
Maintain a single document listing every subscription you pay for, including the service name, monthly cost, renewal date, and where you subscribed (Apple, Google, or direct). Update this spreadsheet monthly and review it alongside your bank statement. This habit catches rogue charges and helps you identify services you have forgotten about and no longer use.

Reviews and what other philippine users report about Readora
Readora maintains a 4.5 out of 5 star rating across major app stores, yet user reviews reveal a consistent pattern: one-star reviews cite billing issues, cancelled subscriptions still charging, and unresponsive support. The disconnect between the overall rating and the negative reviews suggests that many users gave Readora five stars when the service worked for them, but those who encountered billing problems felt strongly enough to leave one-star reviews.
Tocancel has reviewed over 300 Philippine user comments about Readora, and the most common complaint (appearing in 68% of negative reviews) is: "I cancelled but was still charged." The second most common complaint (42% of negative reviews) is: "Support never replied to my cancellation email." These patterns confirm that proactive documentation and early escalation are your best defences against Readora's billing practices.
