Billing questions
Is the free trial really free?+
Yes. Yearly and Monthly both start with a 7-day free trial when Apple finds your Apple Account eligible. You are not charged during the 7 days, the app reminds you before it ends when notifications are on, and you cancel in iOS Settings under Subscriptions. The lifetime plan has no trial because it is a one-time purchase.
Can I switch from yearly to lifetime?+
Yes. Buy the lifetime plan any time, then cancel your subscription in iOS Settings so it does not renew. Lifetime is a separate purchase and does not cancel the subscription for you.
What happens to my recipes if I stop paying?+
Nothing. Your recipes and your export stay free forever. Premium only gates the extra features, never your data.
Does Premium cover my family?+
Yes. All three plans use Apple Family Sharing, so one purchase covers up to six people in your family group. Everyone gets Premium on their own iPhone or iPad, with their own private library, and nobody pays twice.
