Short answer
To cancel a Reading Eggs subscription bought on its website, log in to the Family Dashboard in a web browser, not the app, select a student, open My Account, choose Manage My Subscriptions and click Cancel. Do it at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Access continues to the end of the billing period. Reading Eggs offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on purchases. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancel and request refunds through them instead.
Key takeaways
- Website subscriptions are cancelled in the Family Dashboard in a browser, not the app.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge.
- Access and progress continue until the billing period ends.
- Reading Eggs offers a 30-day money-back guarantee; app store refunds go through Apple or Google.

How we wrote this
TaleemSquare offers live one-to-one reading tutoring, so we compete with reading apps for some families. The steps below come from Reading Eggs' own support pages, listed at the end and checked in October 2026.
Reading Eggs is a set of online reading and math programs for children aged about 2 to 13, including Reading Eggs, Fast Phonics, Reading Eggspress and Mathseeds. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and the most common mistake is trying to cancel inside the app, where you cannot.
Is there a fix short of cancelling?
Before you cancel, check whether the problem is the program or the way it is being used. Reading Eggs includes several programs for different ages: Reading Eggs for about 3 to 7, Fast Phonics for 5 to 10 and Reading Eggspress for 7 to 13. A child who is bored may simply be in the wrong one. Short, regular sessions also work better than long weekend ones. If your child is avoiding it because the work is too hard, though, a different app is unlikely to help, and a person to teach them is the better next step.
First, how did you subscribe?
Where you cancel depends on who bills you:
- Reading Eggs website: cancel in the Family Dashboard in a web browser.
- Apple App Store: cancel in your Apple subscription settings.
- Google Play: cancel in Google Play subscriptions.
Check your bank or card statement. A charge from Apple or Google means you subscribed through that app store.
How do you cancel Reading Eggs on the website?
Reading Eggs' support page lists these steps:
- Log in to the Family Dashboard in a web browser. You cannot cancel in the app.
- Select any student to open the dashboard.
- Open My Account from the top-left menu.
- Choose Manage My Subscriptions.
- Click Cancel next to the subscription.
Do this at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. Keep the confirmation email or a screenshot.
How do you cancel on an iPhone, iPad or Android?
If you subscribed in the app, Reading Eggs cannot cancel or refund it for you, because the purchase is between you and the app store.
- iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose Reading Eggs and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Android: open the Google Play Store, go to Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose Reading Eggs and tap Cancel.
How do you cancel a free trial?
Reading Eggs' US pricing page lists 30 days free on monthly plans for new customers. To cancel a trial bought on the website, follow the same Family Dashboard steps and click Cancel next to the trial subscription. You keep full access for the rest of the trial and will not be charged. App store trials are cancelled through Apple or Google.
When does access end?
Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not end access straight away. Your child keeps using Reading Eggs until the end of the current billing period, and progress is saved, so they can pick up where they left off if you resubscribe later.
Can you get a refund?
Reading Eggs offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund within 30 days of purchase; after that, refunds are not available. For Apple or Google Play purchases, request refunds through the app store.
For context, US prices in October 2026 were $13.99 a month or $99.99 a year for the Reading and Math plan covering up to four children. An annual plan cancelled in month three keeps working until the year ends but is not refunded after the 30-day window.
What mistakes should you avoid?
- Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
- Cancelling in the app is not possible for website subscriptions; use a browser.
- Waiting until renewal day risks a charge; cancel 24 hours ahead.
- Missing the 30-day window if you want your money back.
What should your child do after Reading Eggs?
Think about why it stopped working. A child who has outgrown the games may be ready for real books and a library routine. A child who is still struggling to decode words after months of app practice probably needs direct teaching from a person who can hear them read aloud and correct errors in the moment. Try our free reading test to see where your child stands.
What to do next
- Cancel in the right place and save the confirmation.
- Request a refund within 30 days of purchase if you need one.
- If your child needs teaching, see online reading tutoring or phonics tutoring at TaleemSquare, from $85 a month for two 45-minute lessons a week.
