This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up on their website. It can feel like a bit of a maze, but the option is there.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen on Desktop or Laptop
1 Log In to Your Account
First, head over to the America's Test Kitchen website. Click the Log In button, which is usually at the top right corner of the page, and enter your email and password.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Once you're logged in, find your name or the account icon. Click on it and select My Account or Account Settings from the dropdown menu. This is where they hide all the important stuff.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
In the account section, look for a tab or link labeled Membership & Billing or My Subscriptions. This will show you your current plan, renewal date, and billing information.
4 Initiate the Cancellation
You should see an option to Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renew. Click this link. They might ask you why you're leaving, just pick a reason or skip it if you can.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Follow the final prompts to confirm that you want to end your membership. Make sure you get to a final confirmation screen or receive a confirmation email. Don't just close the tab, it might not register. I had to click it twice for it to stick once.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple, not the ATK website. It's a common mistake people make.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen to open Settings.
2 Access Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and profile picture at the very top of the Settings screen. This takes you to your Apple ID, iCloud, and subscription settings.

4 Select America's Test Kitchen
Scroll through the list until you find your America's Test Kitchen subscription and tap on it.

Tap the red Cancel Subscription button at the bottom of the screen. You'll be asked to confirm your choice. Once you do, the subscription will be set to expire at the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen on Android
Just like with an iPhone, if you signed up through the Google Play Store, you must cancel it there. The ATK website won't show your subscription.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the icon that looks like a colorful sideways triangle.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google manages all your recurring charges.

Locate America's Test Kitchen in the list and tap on it. Then, tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm. You'll have access until the end of the current billing period.
Cancel America's Test Kitchen by Phone or Email
If navigating the website is a hassle, you can try contacting their customer service team directly. Sometimes talking to a person is just faster.

- Email Support: Send an email to [email protected]. Clearly state your name, account email, and your request to cancel the subscription. It might take a day or two to get a response.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you hit that cancel button, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- No Prorated Refunds: America's Test Kitchen generally does not offer refunds for digital subscriptions if you cancel partway through a billing period. You'll retain access until your current subscription term ends.
- Access After Cancellation: You can continue to use your All-Access Digital Membership until the end of your paid term. Your access isn't cut off immediately.
- Pausing is Not an Option: Currently, there is no official option to pause your subscription. You either have it active or you cancel it.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your America's Test Kitchen Subscription?
It can be frustrating when the cancel button seems to be missing or not working. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Check Your Billing Source: Did you sign up through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or maybe even Amazon? If so, you must cancel through that specific service, not the ATK website.
- Try a Different Device: Sometimes, the mobile version of a website is buggy. Try logging in from a desktop or laptop computer to access the full account settings.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data stored in your browser can cause issues. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private browsing window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, just call them. Their support team can manually cancel the subscription for you. Have your account details ready to speed up the process.
