How to Cancel Your Lasta Subscription (Step-by-Step + What to Do If Still Charged)
Lasta is notorious for difficult cancellations. This detailed guide covers every cancellation method, how to verify it went through, how to dispute charges, and where to file complaints.
Lasta has earned a reputation as one of the most difficult health and wellness apps to cancel, with a significant number of complaints about unauthorized charges, confusing cancellation flows, and continued billing after users believe they have cancelled. If you are trying to end your Lasta subscription, this guide provides the most thorough walkthrough available — every cancellation method, verification steps, and a full escalation path if the normal process fails.
Why Lasta Cancellations Are Problematic
Before diving into the steps, it helps to understand why Lasta cancellations generate so many complaints:
- Aggressive upselling during onboarding leads many users to subscribe without fully understanding the terms or price.
- The cancellation process is not straightforward — many users report difficulty finding the cancel option.
- "Pause" is presented more prominently than "Cancel" — similar to other apps, but Lasta's implementation is particularly confusing.
- Charges continue after cancellation for a notable number of users, based on app store reviews and consumer complaints.
- Customer support can be slow to respond to cancellation and refund requests.
This is not to say every Lasta user will have problems, but the pattern of complaints is consistent enough to warrant extra caution. Document everything throughout this process.
Step 1: Identify How You Are Billed
Lasta subscriptions can be billed through:
- Apple App Store — If you subscribed on an iPhone or iPad through the app.
- Google Play Store — If you subscribed on an Android device through the app.
- Lasta's website — If you signed up and paid directly on their website.
How to check: Look at your bank or credit card statement. "Apple.com/bill" means Apple. "Google*Lasta" means Google. "Lasta" or a variation as the merchant means their website.
This distinction is critical because the cancellation method depends entirely on who processes your payment.
How to Cancel Lasta on iPhone (iOS)
If Apple manages your billing:
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Tap your name at the top (Apple ID).
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Lasta in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription — not "Pause," not "Change Plan," specifically Cancel.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Screenshot the confirmation screen showing the expiration date. Save this screenshot.
Alternative method:
- Open the App Store → tap your profile icon → Subscriptions → Lasta → Cancel Subscription.
If Lasta does not appear in your Apple subscriptions: Your subscription is not managed by Apple. Check Google Play or Lasta's website.
How to Cancel Lasta on Android
If Google Play manages your billing:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon (top right).
- Tap Payments & subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Lasta and tap it.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Confirm and screenshot the confirmation.
If Lasta does not appear: Check other Google accounts on your device, or the subscription may be through Lasta's website.
How to Cancel Through Lasta's Website
If you subscribed directly through Lasta's website:
- Go to Lasta's website and log in to your account.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Profile.
- Look for Subscription, Membership, or Billing settings.
- Click Cancel Subscription.
- Work through the entire cancellation flow. Do not stop at a pause offer. Continue clicking until you see an explicit cancellation confirmation.
- Screenshot every step of the process.
- Look for a confirmation email. If you do not receive one within 1 hour, email Lasta's support requesting written confirmation.
If you cannot find a cancel option on the website:
- Email Lasta support with a clear subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request — [Your Email]"
- In the email body, state: "I am requesting immediate cancellation of my Lasta subscription associated with [your email]. Please confirm cancellation in writing."
- Include the last four digits of your payment method for identification.
How to Verify Your Lasta Cancellation Actually Went Through
This is the most important step with Lasta. Do not skip verification.
Verification checklist:
1. Check your billing platform:
- iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Lasta should show "Expires [date]" not "Renews [date]."
- Android: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Lasta should show "Cancelled."
- Website: Log into your Lasta account and confirm the subscription status shows cancelled.
2. Check for confirmation communication:
- Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Lasta, Apple, or Google.
- If no email arrived within 24 hours, this is a red flag. Re-verify through your billing platform.
3. Set calendar reminders:
- Set a reminder for 2 days after your next expected billing date.
- On that day, check your bank statement for any Lasta charge.
- Set another reminder for the following month's billing date as well.
4. Save all documentation:
- Screenshots of cancellation confirmation
- Emails sent and received
- Bank statements showing the last legitimate charge
- Any chat transcripts with support
What to Do If Lasta Keeps Charging You After Cancelling
If you completed the cancellation process and still see charges, follow this escalation path in order:
Level 1: Contact Lasta Support
- Email their support team with:
- Your cancellation confirmation (screenshot or email)
- The unauthorized charge details (date, amount)
- A clear request: "I cancelled on [date]. I was charged on [date] after cancellation. I request an immediate refund and confirmation that no further charges will occur."
- Give them 48-72 hours to respond.
Level 2: Contact Your Billing Platform
If billed through Apple:
- Go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Find the Lasta charges.
- Report the problem — select "I didn't authorize this purchase" or "I want to cancel a subscription."
- Provide your cancellation documentation.
- Apple is generally effective at resolving subscription billing disputes.
If billed through Google:
- Go to Google Play's refund page.
- Report the unauthorized charges.
- Google can cancel the subscription from their side and process refunds.
Level 3: Contact Your Bank or Credit Card Company
If Lasta support is unresponsive and the billing platform has not resolved it:
- Call your bank or credit card company.
- Explain that you cancelled a subscription and are being charged after cancellation.
- Request a chargeback for the unauthorized charges.
- Ask your bank to block future charges from the merchant.
- Provide your cancellation documentation as evidence.
Banks take unauthorized charges seriously. Chargebacks are effective but should be a last resort after attempting to resolve directly.
Level 4: File Formal Complaints
If the issue persists or the amount is significant:
Better Business Bureau (BBB):
- Go to bbb.org.
- Search for Lasta and file a complaint.
- Describe the situation factually: signup date, cancellation date, continued charges, attempts to resolve.
- Companies often respond to BBB complaints even when they ignore direct customer contacts.
App Store Complaints:
- Apple: In addition to the refund request, leave a review on the App Store detailing the billing issue. Apple monitors patterns of billing complaints and can take action against developers.
- Google Play: Similarly, report the app through Google Play's reporting mechanism and leave a factual review.
Consumer Protection Agencies:
- US: File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov/complaint.
- EU: Contact your national consumer protection authority. EU consumer law provides strong protections against unauthorized charges.
- UK: Contact Citizens Advice or Trading Standards.
- Australia: Contact the ACCC.
These agencies collect complaints and can take action when patterns emerge, even if they do not resolve individual cases immediately.
How to Request a Lasta Refund
Priority order for refund requests:
- Through Apple or Google (if they manage your billing) — These platforms have consumer-friendly refund processes. Start here.
- Through Lasta directly — Email support with a clear refund request. Reference your cancellation date and any unauthorized charges.
- Through your bank — Chargeback as a last resort.
EU consumers: You have a legal 14-day right of withdrawal for online purchases. If you are within this window, Lasta is legally required to provide a refund regardless of their own policy.
Tips for successful refund requests:
- Be factual, not emotional. State dates, amounts, and actions taken.
- Include documentation (screenshots, emails).
- Reference specific consumer protection laws if applicable.
- If the first request is denied, escalate to the next level.
What Happens After You Cancel Lasta
Once your subscription ends, you lose access to Lasta's features:
| What You Lose | Details |
|---|---|
| Meal plans | All personalized meal planning |
| Fasting tracker | Intermittent fasting features |
| Workout plans | Exercise content and guidance |
| Coaching features | Any in-app coaching or guidance |
| Progress tracking | Detailed analytics and trends |
Lasta's free tier, if it exists, is extremely limited. Expect to need a replacement for any feature you were actively using.
Why People Leave Lasta
Cancellation and billing concerns. The volume of complaints about Lasta's billing practices is the primary reason users seek cancellation guides. When cancelling a service is harder than signing up, it erodes trust.
The content does not match the marketing. Lasta's onboarding flow creates high expectations with personalized quizzes and promises. Many users find the actual content (meal plans, fasting guidance) more generic than expected.
Better free alternatives exist for each feature. Lasta bundles fasting, meal planning, and wellness coaching together. Users often find that dedicated free apps for each purpose (fasting timer + calorie tracker + workout app) deliver a better experience.
Price relative to value. Lasta's pricing, combined with the difficulty of cancelling, makes the value proposition questionable for many users.
What to Use Instead of Lasta
Since Lasta bundles multiple features (nutrition, fasting, workouts), the best replacement depends on which features you actually used:
For Nutrition Tracking: Nutrola
At €2.50 per month after a free trial, Nutrola provides serious nutrition tracking with transparent pricing and easy cancellation — a direct contrast to the experience that likely brought you to this guide. AI-powered logging via photo, voice, and barcode scanning, a verified database of 1.8 million foods tracking 100+ nutrients, Apple Watch and Wear OS support, recipe import, and 15 languages. Over 2 million users, 4.9 rating, zero ads. Cancel anytime through your normal app store subscription management — the way it should work.
For Intermittent Fasting: Zero or Fastic (Free)
If the fasting timer was what you valued in Lasta, Zero and Fastic both offer free intermittent fasting trackers with timer functionality, fasting protocols, and basic tracking. No subscription required for the core features.
The Combo That Replaces Lasta for Less
Nutrola (€2.50/month) for nutrition + Zero (free) for fasting + any free workout app (Nike Training Club, JEFIT, Hevy) for exercise = a better version of everything Lasta offers, for a fraction of the cost, with apps that all make cancellation straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does deleting the Lasta app cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription or stop billing. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play Store, or Lasta's website.
How do I know if Lasta is charging me through Apple, Google, or their website?
Check your bank or credit card statement. The merchant name tells you: "Apple.com/bill" (Apple), "Google*Lasta" (Google), or "Lasta" (direct billing).
Can I get a refund from Lasta?
Refunds are possible through Apple, Google, Lasta directly, or your bank. Your strongest case is if you were charged after a confirmed cancellation. EU consumers have a legal 14-day refund right.
Is Lasta a scam?
Lasta is a real company offering a real app. However, their billing practices and cancellation difficulty have generated a significant volume of consumer complaints. The app is functional, but users should approach the subscription with awareness of these issues.
How do I block Lasta from charging my card?
If you have cancelled but are concerned about future charges: (1) cancel through your billing platform (Apple/Google), (2) contact your bank and request a block on charges from the merchant, (3) if you used a credit card, request a new card number.
Can I dispute Lasta charges with my bank?
Yes. If you have evidence of cancellation and were charged afterward, your bank can process a chargeback. Provide your cancellation documentation. This is a legitimate and effective last-resort option.
No subscription should be harder to cancel than it was to start. If you are reading this, you have already made your decision — the steps above ensure it sticks. Whatever you use next, choose services that respect your right to leave as much as they court your decision to stay.
