KinoPoisk, launched way back in 2003, is basically Russia's version of IMDb, but it also morphed into a streaming service. It's now part of the Yandex Plus subscription, which bundles a bunch of services together. Maybe you signed up to watch the super popular series 'The Boy's Word' and now you're done with it. It happens. This guide will help you cancel your subscription, which typically costs from $3 to $5 a month, without any extra headaches. We'll cover how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android, potentially saving you up to $40 a year on a service you don't use.
How to Cancel KinoPoisk Subscription on Desktop
This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up on a computer. Honestly, I had to refresh the page once because the 'Manage' button didn't load correctly. So, if you don't see it, try that first.
1 Log in to Yandex ID
First, head over to the Yandex ID login page. You'll need to sign in to the account that has the Yandex Plus subscription.
2 Go to Yandex Plus Management
Once you're in, look for the Yandex Plus section. It's usually prominent on your account dashboard. Click on it to manage your subscription.
3 Find the Cancel Option
This is where it gets a little tricky. You might have to scroll down past all the perks they're showing you. Look for a link that says something like 'Manage subscription' or 'Cancel subscription'.
4 Confirm Cancellation
Yandex will probably ask you why you're leaving and might offer you a deal to stay. Just ignore it and confirm you want to cancel. You should get an email confirming the cancellation shortly after.
How to Cancel KinoPoisk Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone is pretty straightforward since Apple handles all the billing. Just make sure you're looking for 'Yandex Plus', as it might not be listed directly as KinoPoisk.
1 Open Settings
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. It's the gray gear icon.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Next, tap on 'Subscriptions'. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions.
4 Select the Subscription
Find the Yandex Plus or KinoPoisk subscription in the list and tap on it.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
Tap the big red 'Cancel Subscription' button at the bottom. You'll have to confirm it one last time. That's it.
How to Cancel KinoPoisk Subscription on Android
If you subscribed through your Android phone, you have to cancel through the Google Play Store. It's pretty simple, but sometimes the subscription list takes a moment to load.
1 Open the Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile picture in the top-right corner to open the menu.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
From the menu, select 'Payments & subscriptions' and then tap on 'Subscriptions'.
4 Find the Subscription
Find your Yandex Plus or KinoPoisk subscription from the list of active subscriptions.
5 Cancel the Subscription
Tap 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts. Google will ask for a reason, but you can skip it. You'll get a notification that it's been cancelled.
Before you cancel, know this: Yandex generally does not offer refunds for partially used billing periods. So if your subscription renews today and you cancel tomorrow, you've paid for the whole month. Annoying, I know. Your Yandex account itself won't be deleted, you just lose access to the paid features. On the bright side, Yandex Plus sometimes lets you pause your subscription for a month or two, which might be a better option if you just need a short break.
