Pandora can be cancelled direct, Apple, Google Play, Amazon and Roku — and the steps are completely different. Check the last charge on your statement if you are not sure.
Cancelling Pandora directly

- What happens after you cancel
- The account reverts to free, ad-supported Pandora. Your stations and the thumbs you have given them survive — that history is what the free service runs on. Two things go. Offline listening is a subscription benefit, so downloaded stations and playlists are removed from the device, though Pandora describes this as removed rather than deleted: resubscribe and you can download them again. And on-demand listening goes with Premium, so your custom playlists and saved albums stop being playable on demand even though the collection is still listed. If you have thumbs feedback given while offline, go back online BEFORE the subscription lapses so it syncs; otherwise that feedback may never reach the account.

Cancelling Pandora through Apple
About 3 minutes · Easy
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, then tap your name
On the web, go to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions
Select the subscription, then Cancel Subscription
- Notice period
- At least 1 day before your renewal date. Apple requires cancellation at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for — Apple does not refund the unused part, and cancelling early does not end it sooner. The subscription disappears from your Apple subscriptions list on that date. Two things this does not do: it does not close your account with the service, so anything stored there stays where it is, and it does not get you a refund. Refunds for Apple-billed subscriptions are asked for at reportaproblem.apple.com, not from the merchant, who genuinely cannot issue one.

Cancelling Pandora through Google Play
About 3 minutes · Easy
Open the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions and select the app
Tap Cancel subscription and confirm
- Notice period
- None — cancelling takes effect straight away.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Google Play does not refund the remainder, and the subscription shows as cancelled with its end date until then. Cancelling here stops Google charging you; it does not close your account with the service or delete anything in it. A refund, if you want one, is requested through Google Play — and only within a short window, after which Google sends you to the developer.

Cancelling Pandora through Amazon

- What happens after you cancel
- Access runs to the end of the current billing period and Amazon shows you that date when you confirm — write it down, because it is the day to check your statement. Nothing is refunded for the unused part. This ends the subscription only: your Amazon account, and your account with the service itself, are both untouched.

- The channel keeps working until the end of the period you have paid for, then stops billing. Roku does not refund the remainder. The channel stays installed on your device and your account with the service still exists — cancelling the Roku subscription only ends Roku's side of the payment.
