Will I lose access if I cancel my Ascension App subscription?

You keep all the free features. Ascension confirms the Bible text, Catechism text, daily readings, the Rosary, and the audio of *Bible in a Year* and *Catechism in a Year* podcasts remain free even after you cancel premium. You only lose the paid extras, Fr. Mike's Advent series, 60+ study plans, 1000+ Bible Answers and the podcast companions. Your notes, bookmarks and progress stay tied to your account, so you can resubscribe later without losing them.

Does the Ascension App have a free trial?

Yes, the Ascension App offers a 7-day trial of premium. You won't be charged as long as you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Cancellation has to happen inside the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android), because Ascension itself can't cancel a trial on your behalf. If you miss the window by even a few hours and get billed, you'll need to request a refund from Apple or Google, not Ascension.

How much does the Ascension App cost?

Two auto-renewing tiers in the US: **$8.99/month** or **$59.99/year**. The web/marketing pages have at times listed $8.95 monthly and $59.95 annually, but the live App Store listing is the source of truth. There is also a discounted **$1 first-year promo** offered through participating Catholic dioceses and parishes, which then auto-renews at the standard $59.99/year unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Can I cancel my Ascension support gift?

Yes, but it's separate from the app subscription. Recurring support gifts (e.g. the $25 monthly support of *Bible in a Year* and *Catechism in a Year*) are managed by Ascension directly, not through the app stores. Email `billing@ascensionpress.com` or call 1-800-376-0520 to stop them. Ascension is not a 501(c)(3), so gifts aren't tax-deductible, and they don't unlock the Ascension App's premium features.

What if Ascension keeps charging me after I cancelled?

First confirm where the charge originates: 'Apple.com/bill' or 'Google Play' on your statement means the subscription is still active at the store, even if the Ascension app is deleted. Reopen Subscriptions in iOS Settings or Google Play and verify Ascension shows 'Cancelled.' For an unexpected $59.99 charge from the diocesan $1 promo, request a store refund and forward proof to `support@ascensionpress.com` asking them to confirm cancellation on their merchant side.

Can I pay for an app subscription by phone or online?

No, Ascension states 'we cannot accept payment by phone' for the app. The only routes are an in-app purchase through Apple or Google (which then bills your stored Apple/Google payment method) or signing up through Ascension's web app. That same constraint is why you also can't cancel by phone: the merchant of record is Apple or Google, so changes have to happen inside their accounts.

Why was I double-charged after using a parish promo code?

Ascension's own page warns: 'It is possible to be double-charged if you pay for this promotion, but already have an active subscription.' The promo only works for users who don't already subscribe. If this happened to you, email `support@ascensionpress.com` with both transaction IDs and ask them to coordinate a refund of the duplicate $1 (or annual) charge, and separately request the corresponding store refund from Apple or Google.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Ascension - Facial Analysis?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Ascension - Facial Analysis account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Does Ascension - Facial Analysis charge a cancellation fee?

What doesn’t work for cancelling Ascension - Facial Analysis

Based on 4 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Emailing support@ascensionpress.com to cancel an Apple/Google app subscription, Ascension states app-store policies do not allow them to add or cancel subscriptions on behalf of customers.
✕ Asking Ascension directly for a refund on an in-app purchase, Apple and Google's policies prohibit Ascension from initiating or processing the refund, you must request it from the store.
✕ Cancelling by phone, Ascension explicitly states they cannot accept subscription payment or changes by phone for the app.
✕ Assuming a monthly support gift includes app premium, Ascension confirms support gifts do not currently grant subscription access to the Ascension App.
✕ Deleting the app to cancel, Apple/Google subscriptions keep billing after the app is deleted, you must turn off auto-renew in Subscriptions settings.

Cancelled Ascension - Facial Analysis but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Ascension - Facial Analysis, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@ascensionpress.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Ascension - Facial Analysis’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Ascension - Facial Analysis charges again.

How Ascension - Facial Analysis will try to keep you

Ascension - Facial Analysis may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Brand redirects you to Apple/Google so they can disclaim responsibility for the charge.”
You say: Acknowledge the app-store routing, then ask Ascension in writing to flag the account as cancelled on their side and to confirm in writing that no further charges will originate from their merchant ID, useful evidence for an Apple/Google refund appeal.
They’ll say: “Diocese/parish $1 promo silently auto-renews at $59.99/year.”
You say: Ascension's own promo page admits 'your subscription will audo-renew at $59.99/year', quote that line back and request a goodwill refund of the renewal charge given the steep step-up from $1.
They’ll say: “Free 7-day trial converts unless cancelled 24 hours early.”
You say: Ascension's policy is to cancel 'a minimum 24 hours before' renewal. If you were charged at hour 23, screenshot the cancellation timestamp and request an Apple/Google refund citing the brand's own 24-hour rule was honoured.
They’ll say: “Confusing the app subscription with a monthly support gift so users keep donating.”
You say: Ascension states support gifts 'do not currently grant subscription access to the Ascension App.' Cancel the gift separately by emailing billing@ascensionpress.com, it will not stop when you cancel the app.
They’ll say: “Double-charging when an existing subscriber redeems a parish promo.”
You say: Ascension warns it is 'possible to be double-charged' in this scenario. Quote that admission directly and request a full refund of the duplicate charge through support@ascensionpress.com.
