The Pour Over App

App questions, answered.

Our inbox is positively overflowing this week (our favorite problem). These are the questions we hear most, so start here and you may get sorted out faster than we can write back.

Paying and Premium

Nope! One cost, full access. Here's how to claim your premium features: open the app, and sign up with the email address that your paid subscription is connected to. Your membership will be automatically linked, and the premium features will be all yours after you finish the signup process. Thanks so much for supporting Christ-first news!

You sure can! If you exit out of the pop-up that tells you about premium access (top left of the screen), you'll be able to enjoy the free version of the app as long as you'd like.

If you ever decide you want to unlock premium features, just go to your profile page and click “Upgrade to Premium.”

Great question! Here is the short version of free vs. paid. In addition to experiencing the joy of supporting Christ-first news, our premium members can:

Free

Always

  • The Monday, Wednesday and Friday read
  • Christian perspectives on every story
  • The Saturday mini crossword

Premium

Everything free, plus

  • Listen to M/W/F news and Praying the News on the app
  • Access Praying the News audio on Wednesdays and Fridays
  • Unlock TPO's full news archive and search for stories
  • Play games from the past three weeks

And, of course, feel the satisfaction of supporting Christ-first news. Did we mention that?

Billing and cancellation

You'll be automatically charged if you sign up for the three-day free trial via the app (unless you decide to cancel). App billing is handled by Apple or Google depending on your device, so here's what to do:

If you're on iPhone/iPad:
To cancel, go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, find The Pour Over, and tap Cancel Subscription.

If you're on Android:
To cancel, use this link through Google Play.

App billing is handled by Apple or Google depending on your device! They make it easy to sign up, but sometimes canceling requires some hoop-jumping. Here are some tips:

If you're on iPhone/iPad:
To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

If you're on Android:
To request a refund, visit your Google Play order.

It means the next three months of Premium are on us, with no strings attached. You do not need to enter any billing information for this grant, so you will not be charged at the end of the three months. You will automatically revert to the free version of our app unless you choose to upgrade to the Premium tier. Enjoy!
