When a subscription becomes unnecessary
If you have got the Catholic Calendar app, and have taken out a monthly subscription to get
Liturgy of the Hours and Mass texts, then there are two situations in which you no longer need your subscription, and have to cancel it:
- If you have bought the Universalis app, you don't need Catholic Calendar any more. Indeed, you should delete it so as to avoid confusion. In that case, you don't need your Catholic Calendar monthly subscription either.
- If you have entered a Universalis registration code into Catholic Calendar, this removes all time limits, and so you don't need your Catholic Calendar monthly subscription.
In either case, you have to cancel the subscription yourself. We aren't allowed to cancel it automatically for you.
