Let's be real, you probably downloaded AccuWeather during a wild weather scare or because you were tired of your phone's basic forecast. Founded way back in 1962, AccuWeather has been the go-to for detailed weather data for decades. But maybe that premium subscription, with prices from $1.99 to $3.99, isn't getting much use now that the storm has passed. This guide covers canceling on iOS, Android, and desktop, potentially saving you up to $40 a year. Honestly, everyone becomes a mini storm chaser when a big system is brewing, but paying for it year-round? Maybe not. Let's get that subscription cancelled.
How to Cancel AccuWeather Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone or iPad is done through your Apple account, not the AccuWeather app itself. It feels a little hidden on purpose, if you ask me. I had to look for it for a minute the first time.
1 Open the Settings App
Find the gray gear icon on your home screen. You can't miss it.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top of the Settings menu. Tap on that.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the next screen, you'll see an option for 'Subscriptions'. This is where Apple hides all your recurring payments.
4 Find the AccuWeather Subscription
Look for AccuWeather in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it to see the details.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
Scroll to the bottom and tap the 'Cancel Subscription' button. You'll have to confirm it, but once you do, you're all set. No more charges.
How to Cancel AccuWeather Subscription on Android
For Android users, the process is similar to iOS but happens inside the Google Play Store. It's a bit more straightforward, thankfully. Just a few taps and you're done.
1 Launch the Google Play Store
Open the app store on your Android device. It's the primary place for managing apps and their subscriptions.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
In the top-right corner, tap on your profile picture or initial to open the main menu.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that pops up, select 'Payments & subscriptions'. This is where all your billing information is stored.
4 Choose 'Subscriptions'
Tap on 'Subscriptions' to see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions managed through Google Play.
5 Find AccuWeather and Cancel
Find AccuWeather in the list and tap on it. At the bottom of the next screen, you'll see an option to 'Cancel subscription'. Tap that and follow the prompts.
How to Cancel AccuWeather Subscription on Desktop
If you subscribed directly on the AccuWeather website, you'll need to cancel it there. This can sometimes be the most annoying method, as websites love to hide the cancel button.
1 Log In to Your AccuWeather Account
Go to the official AccuWeather website and sign in to the account that has the premium subscription.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
This can be tricky to find. Look for your name or a profile icon, usually in the top-right corner, and click it. Find a link that says 'My Account', 'Account Settings', or 'Manage Subscription'.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
Inside your account area, there should be a section for your subscription details. It might be labeled 'Billing' or 'Subscription'.
4 Select the 'Cancel' Option
There should be a clear option to 'Cancel' or 'Turn off auto-renewal'. Click it and confirm your decision. Weirdly, a friend mentioned this only worked on their desktop browser, not mobile web, so stick to a computer if you can.
Cancel AccuWeather Subscription with email
AccuWeather directs most support inquiries through a contact form on their website, which functions like email. You can find it in their 'Help' or 'Support' section. Expect a response within 2-3 business days, but it might take longer for billing issues.
Before you do it, know this. Your account won't be deleted, but you will lose premium features when your current subscription period ends. Thinking about a refund? Don't. AccuWeather, like most services, doesn't offer refunds if you forget to cancel, not even for a partially used month. There is also no option to 'pause' your subscription. It's all or nothing.
