Purchased the wrong subscription?

Written by Keryn McMaster

If you accidentally purchased the wrong PredictWind, PredictCurrent, PredictRain, Anchor Alert or AIS Explorer subscription, the next steps depend on where you made the purchase.

Examples include:

  • Purchasing a 12-month subscription instead of three months

  • Selecting Standard instead of Professional

  • Purchasing PredictWind instead of PredictCurrent

  • Renewing the wrong subscription

First, check where you purchased it

You can normally find this on your purchase receipt. Your subscription may have been purchased through:

  • Apple App Store

  • Google Play Store

  • The PredictWind website

Please don’t purchase another subscription until you have checked the steps below.

Purchased through Apple

Apple manages all App Store subscriptions and payments.

To view or change your subscription:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Tap your name.

3. Tap Subscriptions.

4. Select PredictWind, PredictCurrent, PredictRain, Anchor Alert or AIS Explorer.

From here, you can view your current plan, see the renewal date, change to another available subscription or cancel the subscription.

Cancelling prevents the subscription from renewing, but it does not automatically refund the original purchase.

If you need to request a refund or cannot change the subscription, visit Apple’s Report a Problem website. Refund decisions are made by Apple, and PredictWind cannot process App Store refunds directly.

Purchased through Google Play

Google manages subscriptions purchased through the Google Play Store.

To view or change your subscription:

1. Open the Google Play Store.

2. Tap your profile icon.

3. Select Payments & subscriptions.

4. Tap Subscriptions.

5. Select PredictWind, PredictCurrent, PredictRain, Anchor Alert or AIS Explorer

You can then view your plan, check its renewal date, change to another available subscription or cancel it.

Cancelling prevents future renewals but does not automatically refund the purchase.

If you need a refund, follow Google Play’s refund instructions. Refund decisions are managed by Google.

Purchased through the PredictWind website

Please contact our Support team (support@predictwind.com) so we can review the purchase and advise on the best solution.
