Ratings and Reviews
Editors' Notes
Inspired by the timeless story of a little egg on a leaf, Hungry Caterpillar Play School is as sweet and colorful as Eric Carle’s beloved children’s book. The app is all about play and exploration; kids can draw, color, sing, and even learn to grow strawberries (for the caterpillar’s snack).
Auto subscription issue
I downloaded the free 7 days last Saturday for my 3.5 year old grand daughter, who loved it.
Today(saturday of the following week) I went in and paid for a month but then saw that i have been auto charged for the year.
It is a very good app. But
How do i resolve this?

Developer Response ,
Hi Stephen. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to refund you directly as the app was purchased from the App Store. You will find a link to a refund option on the receipt of purchase which Apple sent you via email. Alternatively you could contact Apple at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933. You will also find a phone number for your country here: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT201232.
They should have no problem refunding you. You can then purchase the monthly subscription if you wish. If you need any more help please email us at support@touchpress.com.
So hard to opt out
So I have just also been charged a year subscription when I thought I had turned off automatic renewal. Can I just say you make it really hard to do this. The instructions on how to turn off automatic renewal should be much much clearer and easier to find. I thought I found it within the 7 day trial but was clearly wrong. but struggling to find it again right now even though I have just paid you $70 I did not want to. Good app tho by the way.
Please give me some clear directions on how I turn off automatic renewal.

Hi niccy321. Sorry you're having problems cancelling automatic renewal. There are instructions at the bottom of the subscription page, and cancelling a subscription is the same process for all App Store apps. We will certainly take your feedback into account though. If you are still having problems here's how to cancel automatic renewal for any app:
1. Launch the Settings app
2. Select iTunes & App Store
3. Select your Apple ID
4. Tap View Apple ID when the pop-up window appears
5. Enter your Apple ID Password or fingerprint ID when prompted
6. Select Subscriptions
7. Tap the subscription you wish to cancel
8. Select Cancel Subscription
9. Confirm when prompted.
We hope this resolves your issue, if you’re satisfied it has, would you consider revising your review?
