How do I get a refund?

Two tracks. **Apple-billed (in-app) purchases:** request at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple frequently declines these, one App Store reviewer wrote that Apple originally declined and the company then refunded the subscription as promised. So if Apple refuses, email **ask@blankspaces.app** with the purchase receipt and the Apple denial screenshot. **Web purchases:** the Terms give a 14-day window from your initial purchase or last renewal, processed through their payment provider. Either way, send the email within 14 days of the charge date, not the signup date.

How much does Blank Spaces cost?

The pricing page lists **$1.99/week, $3.99/month, $17.99/year and $23.99 lifetime (USD)**. Be careful quoting those back at support: App Store in-app purchase data also shows higher tiers ($7.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly, $29.99 lifetime) and discounted annual offers ($18.99 and $12.99), so the amount actually taken from your card may not match the website. Check your Apple receipt or card statement for the exact figure and date before requesting a refund, getting the number right makes the claim harder to bounce.

How to restore my subscription

If you cancelled by mistake or switched devices, the subscription is tied to your Apple ID. Blank's help centre says to restore it by tapping the **restore button at the bottom of the paywall**, or on the web payment page click *Restore subscription* just below the payment plans. Worth knowing before you cancel: restoring works only while the purchase still exists on that Apple ID, a refunded purchase is revoked and cannot be restored. If restore fails after a cancellation you regret, re-subscribing at the current price is the only route.

How do I delete my Blank account/data?

Deleting your data and cancelling are separate actions, do the cancellation **first**, or billing continues. The privacy policy says you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by email. Send the deletion request to the address on their privacy page and keep the reply; it's useful evidence if a charge appears afterwards. Note that feedback you submitted may have been published on their public feedback page (feed.blankspaces.app) on an opt-in basis, so ask for that to be removed in the same email if it applies.

Is there a cancellation fee?

No. Nothing in the Terms, the pricing page or the help centre mentions a cancellation or early-termination fee, and there's no contract minimum, all plans simply run to the end of the period you've paid for. The real cost trap is timing, not fees: auto-renew must be switched off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and on the $1.99 weekly plan that window comes round fast. Lifetime has no renewal at all, so there's nothing to cancel, only a refund to request.

How do I cancel the free trial before being charged?

Blank Spaces advertises a **7-day free trial** that converts to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled beforehand. Cancel on **day 5 or 6**, not day 7: auto-renewal has to be off at least 24 hours before the trial period ends. Go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Blank Spaces → Cancel Subscription. You keep trial access until day 7 regardless. Note some users report being offered no trial at all on certain paywalls, one reviewer said they paid for a month with '(no trial available!)', so check your receipt rather than assuming you're inside a trial.

Can I pause Blank Spaces instead of cancelling?

There's no documented pause or freeze option, the help centre's account section covers restoring, cancelling, refunds, pricing and data deletion, with nothing on suspension. Your practical alternatives are: cancel and rely on the free version plus Apple's built-in Screen Time, or if you genuinely want the app long-term, the $23.99 Lifetime purchase removes recurring billing entirely. If you're cancelling because of a bug rather than cost, say so in your email, the developer responds publicly to bug reports and has refunded users who documented broken locks and widgets.

What if Blank Spaces ignores my cancellation or refund email?

Escalate in order. 1) Resend to **ask@blankspaces.app** and **hello@blankspaces.app** together with 'Second request' in the subject and your original send date in the body. 2) If it's an Apple-billed charge, cancel auto-renew yourself in Settings, that doesn't need their cooperation. 3) Open a second reportaproblem.apple.com claim citing the unanswered email. 4) For a web purchase, contact the payment provider named on your statement, since the Terms say the provider handles billing support and refunds. 5) As a last step, dispute the charge with your card issuer, attaching your dated unanswered emails.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Blank Spaces Launcher Refund.

Inside 14 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for Blank Spaces Launcher.

Last verified yesterday against Blank Spaces Launcher’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below

The short answer

Blank Spaces sells one product, the Blank Spaces Premium launcher subscription (weekly/monthly/yearly) plus a one-off Lifetime purchase, so every rule here is about that single subscription or Lifetime charge. Subscription and Lifetime charges made inside the iOS app are billed by Apple: Apple decides those refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com, and the developer's help page says if Apple declines, you email them a screenshot of the purchase and the denial and they refund you directly. Charges bought on the website are handled by their third-party payment provider acting as merchant of record, and the Terms set a 14-day window from your initial purchase or last renewal. Cancelling only stops future renewals, there is no documented pro-rata credit for the remainder of a billed period, so the refund request is separate from the cancellation.

How long does a Blank Spaces Launcher refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Blank Spaces Launcher’s own policy works on a 14-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
