Surprise annual auto-charges & proof-gated refunds are drawing chargeback threats
Public reviews combine surprise annual auto-renewals, an App Store subscription migration, and refund requests written in legal/chargeback language. At this volume, refund friction doesn't just cost revenue — disputed charges threaten payment-processor and App Store standing. Cancellation paths and a refund SLA need to be unambiguous before it escalates.
Recommended action
Publish clear cancellation paths, add refund SLA routing, and audit dynamic paywall confirmation copy.
