Terms of Use
Effective 24 October 2026.
Kanabit is licensed to you under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). The points below add to it and explain how the subscription works in plain language. If they conflict with the EULA, the EULA wins.
Free trial and subscription
- New users get a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. The trial starts when you confirm it with Apple and converts to a paid yearly subscription at the end of the 7 days unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.
- Subscriptions (yearly or monthly) renew automatically at the price shown in the app at the time of purchase. Your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from Kanabit's Settings → Manage subscription. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the paid period.
- Only one trial per Apple ID subscription group. If you have used a trial on any Kanabit plan, a new plan starts paid.
One-time purchase
The lifetime option is a one-time payment, not a subscription. It unlocks Kanabit on all devices signed in with the same Apple ID for as long as the app is available. Buying it does not cancel an active subscription; cancel the subscription yourself in Settings if you no longer need it.
Refunds
Purchases are made through Apple, and Apple handles refunds under its own rules. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds directly, but write to support@kanabit.app if something went wrong and we will help you sort it out.
What Kanabit is and is not
Kanabit helps you recognise Japanese kana and beginner vocabulary through repeated exposure. It is not a course, does not teach grammar or conversation, and does not guarantee results on any exam. Readings and meanings come from open dictionaries listed in Acknowledgements; if you spot an error, use the report button on the card.
Widget behaviour
iOS decides when lock screen widgets refresh. Kanabit schedules a new card every hour (or at the interval you choose), but the system may delay updates to save battery. This is normal and not a defect.
Changes and availability
Features, prices and these terms may change; changes to price never apply to a period you have already paid for. If Kanabit is ever discontinued, purchases are removed from sale and the app keeps working offline for existing users.
