Frequently Asked Questions

Why Don’t I See “Start Free Trial”?

Free-trial eligibility depends on your account and previous subscription or trial history.

If you are not eligible for a free trial, you can still tap Go Premium to review the available plans, prices, and purchase details before subscribing.

How do I redeem an 18Birdies Premium promotional offer?

18Birdies Premium promotional offers are redeemed through a promotional link.

Tap the promotional link from the partner or offer source. If you do not have 18Birdies installed, you will be redirected to the App Store or Google Play to download the app. After installing, create an account or sign in, then follow the offer prompts.

If you already have 18Birdies installed, tapping the link should take you directly to the offer page in the app.

18Birdies does not currently support entering promo codes directly in the app. If the promotional link does not work, contact Support with your 18Birdies account email, the promotional link, the source of the offer, and a screenshot of the issue.

I Upgraded, but Premium Features Are Still Locked. What Should I Do?

First, confirm that your purchase was completed through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Then check that:

  • You are signed in to the correct 18Birdies account.
  • You are using the same Apple Account or Google Account used for the purchase.
  • Your subscription is active in your app store account.
  • You are using the latest version of 18Birdies.

If Premium is still locked, follow the steps in How to Restore Your Premium Subscription.

If the issue continues, contact Support with:

  • your 18Birdies account email,
  • device type,
  • Apple App Store or Google Play as the billing provider,
  • purchase receipt or subscription-status screenshot,

I Started a Trial but Was Charged Immediately. What Should I Do?

Review your Apple App Store or Google Play receipt to confirm the subscription plan, purchase date, and whether a free trial was included.

Trial eligibility is shown before a purchase is confirmed. Some accounts, plans, or offers may not be eligible for a free trial.

If you believe you were charged incorrectly, follow the steps in How to Request a Subscription Refund. Refund approval is determined by the billing provider.

I Accidentally Purchased the Wrong Subscription Plan. What Should I Do?

Premium purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Cancel the subscription through your app store settings to prevent it from renewing at the end of the current subscription period. Canceling does not automatically refund the original purchase.
