Abbuchung von Visa Karte trotz Kündigung

Ich habe das Probeabo für 3 Tage incl. Dänemark installiert. Das Abo im AppStore in 2025 rechtzeitig zum Ablauf der Probezeit gekündigt. Auch in meinem Apple Konto gesehen, dass das Abo wie vereinbart gekündigt ist. Dann bekomme ich eine Abbuchung von 119 Euro bei meiner Visa Karte von Savvy Navvy, nicht von Apple. In 2026 schon wieder die gleiche Abbuchung.
Was ist denn das für ein Geschäftsmodell? Völlig unseriös.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Könnten Sie mir bitte direkt eine E-Mail an david@savvy-navvy.com senden? Ich kümmere mich dann darum.

Beware of trial!!!!!

I downloaded this app to help me navigate lakes in Canada. The app did not provide the adequate maps that I needed over the trial. Period I was charged a full year of usage at the end of the third day. When I contacted the company immediately afterwards, telling them that the app did not provide the navigation maps I needed. I heard nothing back. Stay away from the three day trial as you will be charged a full year of usage.

Response from developer

Hi - thank you for taking a look at the app and I'm so sorry you didn't hear anything from the team. We do have a 3 day trial and are always clear that you need to cancel before the 3 days ends as at that point, Apple will charge you. Can you email me please on david@savvy-navvy.com and I can help you get a refund from Apple. Thank you, David

Premium not accessible

Purchased via iPhone. Worked. Spent over 5 hours attempting to add onto iPad mini (both ios 26.6.1). Seems to force UK version. Not an issue with linking to macbook air. Last contact with company "seems like a glitch". Perhaps they will get back to me& I will update. But paying $129 for one year & not being able to use these essential features on the device at the helm is a bit infuriating.
