Before you cancel
Before making changes, review the original Google Play email receipt and the subscription screen. These may show transaction and renewal information, although the exact receipt details can vary by purchase. Review Google Play subscription details
Check the available order and subscription details, including any renewal date and payment-method information shown in Google Play or the receipt. This can help you determine whether the charge relates to a recurring subscription or a separate in-app purchase. Google Play notes that payment-method information may appear on some initial sign-up or upgrade receipts. Read Google Play’s billing explanation
Subscriptions can use different billing periods, such as weekly or yearly, based on the terms accepted at purchase. Google Play bills at the beginning of each cycle unless the user unsubscribes. See Google Play’s subscription policy
If Novelmates does not appear in your subscription list, do not assume it has ended. Switch to another Google Account that may have been used for the purchase. Google advises users to check a different account when a subscription is missing. Use Google’s account troubleshooting guidance

Troubleshooting
Novelmates does not appear in subscriptions
First, switch to another Google Account that may have been used for the purchase. Google Play specifically recommends checking another account when you cannot locate a subscription. Use Google Play’s troubleshooting steps
Next, search your email for Google Play receipts or Novelmates purchase confirmations. Compare the available order details and receipt date with the charge on your bank or card statement. Do not share passwords, full card numbers, or security codes when asking for help.
If you still need developer assistance, use the support contact published on the Novelmates Google Play listing. The listing identifies support@ireader.com as the support email. Provide only relevant purchase information that you are comfortable sharing. Check the official Novelmates listing
You canceled but still have access
Continued access does not necessarily mean cancellation failed. Google says a canceled subscription can remain available for the time already paid for. See Google Play’s explanation of remaining access
Check the subscription details and your cancellation confirmation. Then monitor the next expected billing date. Keep your confirmation until that date has passed, especially if you canceled close to a scheduled renewal.
