Managing your subscription

Where to change, restore or cancel, and why guests need an account first.

Last updated: 2026-09-04

Buying Pro

The paywall opens from “Upgrade to Pro” in the side menu and from any limit you hit. It offers a monthly and a yearly plan, and the store you installed from takes the payment. A guest sees a notice first: Pro needs a real account, so sign up and everything you made comes along. The plan takes half a minute to switch.

  • Monthly or yearly
  • Paid through the App Store or Google Play
  • A real account before buying
  • A short wait before the plan switches

Where Pro lives

Pro belongs to your Cookara account, not to the phone. Sign in on the tablet in the kitchen and the badge is there beside your name, with nothing to buy again. If a new phone shows Free although the store already charged you, “Restore purchases” in the paywall reconnects the purchase.

  • The same Pro on every signed-in device
  • Badge beside your name in the side menu
  • Restore purchases when a device shows Free

Changing or cancelling

“Manage subscription” in the side menu opens the customer centre: switch between monthly and yearly, cancel, or restore. A cancellation stops the next renewal. Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for, so cancel in the last week rather than the first. Deleting the app does not cancel. The store keeps charging until you do.

  • Switch between monthly and yearly
  • Cancel and keep Pro to the period’s end
  • Restore on a new device
  • Deleting the app cancels nothing

Not in the app

Three things the subscription does not do:

  • Pay by bank transfer or invoice
  • Pause for a quiet month
  • Move Pro to another account

Common questions

Why does the app still say Free after I paid?

Because the plan takes about half a minute to switch after the store confirms. Reopen the app a minute later. If it still says Free, use “Restore purchases” in the paywall.

Does Pro work on my tablet too?

Yes. Sign in with the same account and the tablet has Pro without a second purchase. The badge appears once it has synced.
