How To Check Hidden Apps That Are Secretly Overcharging You!

If you have noticed, most apps that you can find from Google Playstore and/or Apple Store are using the subscription model. Meaning, you have to pay a monthly fee to continue using the app. Some will still provide you with free features while some will completely stop its services unless you pay their fees. 

Let's face it. A lot of us are oftentimes engrossed with these phone applications at first because of their promising utility in our day to day lives. Most of you are guilty about entering your credit card digits to avail the free offer and reminding yourself to just cancel it before the trial period ends. In the end, everyone keeps forgetting it. 

To check for the hidden apps that might be secretly overcharging your credit card, do the following:

1. On your phone, open the Google Play Store.

2. Click the menu on the top left corner.

3. Select "Subscriptions".

4. The list shows the active app subscriptions in your account. Cancel the ones you are not using.

1. In your device, open Settings.

2. Click your name at the top. 

3. Next, tap on "Subscriptions".

4. The list you'll see are the active app subscriptions. Manage or cancel the ones you are not using.

This reddit user enumerated the usual type of paid apps that might be in your credit card bill: 

• Habit trackers and digital journals

• Workout apps

• Water reminders

• Apps that remind you to water your plants 

• Karaoke apps

• Meditation apps

• Photo/video editors

• Customized messages apps

• Digital coloring book

• Alarm clock

• Puzzle games

Be a wise spender by getting rid of those that are only impulse purchases (or impulse downloads) from your phone. Don't let your hard-earned money go to nothing. Check your credit card statement and apps to find out which ones are not working for you anymore. Or better yet, maybe find free alternatives that will be as useful as the paid ones.
