A Bitlica Inc charge on your bank or credit card statement is almost always a subscription fee for one of the company’s iPhone apps, billed through the Apple App Store. Bitlica Inc is a mobile app publisher whose apps use free trials that auto-convert to paid subscriptions, so the charge usually traces back to a trial you started inside one of its apps and did not cancel in time. You can stop future charges by canceling the subscription in your iPhone’s Settings, and you can ask Apple for a refund through its Report a Problem portal.
What the Charge Actually Is
Bitlica Inc is a Delaware-registered mobile app publisher that specializes in non-gaming iOS apps sold on a subscription model. Its titles include ThemeMe (widgets and themes), Coinz (a coin identifier), AI Art (an AI video art generator), AI Calories (a food and meal tracker), and Stream Guru (a streamer broadcast recorder).1Bitlica.

Because the apps are sold through the App Store, Apple processes the payments. The line on your statement usually reads “apple.com/bill” rather than “Bitlica,” several Apple purchases can be combined into one line, and the charge sometimes posts a few days after the actual purchase.2Apple.

How the Subscription Started
Bitlica’s apps follow a familiar pattern: a short free trial, then an automatic conversion to a paid subscription if you don’t cancel before the trial ends. Coinz, for example, lists subscription tiers from a weekly trial at $9.99 to a yearly plan at $79.99, plus a one-time “lifetime” option at $59.99.4Apple. Coinz: Identify Coin Value on the App Store Under standard App Store terms, payment is taken from your iTunes account on confirmation, and subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.5Apple. Coin Identifier: Coinz on the App Store
One important point: deleting the app from your phone does not cancel the subscription. Apple keeps billing you until the subscription itself is canceled through your Apple ID. The developer has made the same point in response to user complaints, directing people to manage subscriptions through Apple ID settings rather than through the app.4Apple.

How to Cancel the Subscription
Cancel through your iPhone, not through the Bitlica app or website:
- Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find the Bitlica app in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.6Apple. How to Cancel a Subscription From Apple
If you see an expiration date in red instead of a cancel button, the subscription is already canceled and won’t renew. You can also manage subscriptions from a browser at account.apple.com/account/manage/section/subscriptions.7Apple. Apple Billing and Subscriptions
Can’t find the subscription under your Apple ID? Check whether a family member bought it through Family Sharing, or search your email for “receipt from Apple” to see which account was charged.6Apple. How to Cancel a Subscription From Apple
How to Request a Refund From Apple
Apple handles refunds through reportaproblem.apple.com. Sign in with the Apple ID that was charged, choose “Request a refund,” pick the reason that fits (options include “I didn’t mean to sign up for a subscription” and “I didn’t intend to renew a subscription”), select the specific charge, and submit. Apple generally responds within 48 hours, and you can track status at reportaproblem.apple.com/status.8PCMag.

If Apple Denies the Refund or the Charge Was Unauthorized
You can dispute the charge with your card issuer or bank. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your liability for unauthorized credit card charges is capped at $50, the issuer must acknowledge your dispute in writing within 30 days, and it must resolve the dispute within 90 days.9Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges To preserve your rights, send a written dispute to the card issuer’s billing inquiry address (not the payment address) within 60 days of the statement that contained the charge.10Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. How Do I Dispute a Charge on My Credit Card Bill Certified mail with a return receipt gives you proof of timing. While the dispute is open, you don’t have to pay the disputed amount, and the issuer can’t report it as delinquent or send it to collections.
If the money came out of your checking account as a debit rather than a credit card charge, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau advises writing to the company to revoke authorization, then notifying your bank separately. Your bank can place a stop payment order to block future debits, though many banks charge a fee for it. Any payment that clears after you have properly revoked authorization is treated as an error under federal law, and you’re entitled to a refund.11Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Reporting Deceptive Subscription Practices
The FTC’s “click-to-cancel” rule, finalized October 16, 2024 and enforceable as of May 14, 2025, requires subscription sellers to make canceling at least as easy as signing up and to stop recurring charges immediately on cancellation.12Federal Trade Commission. FTC Announces Final Click-to-Cancel Rule Sellers must also disclose all material terms before collecting billing information and obtain express consent to the recurring charge separately from the rest of the transaction.13Federal Register. Rule Concerning Recurring Subscriptions and Other Negative Option Programs If you believe a subscription service billed you deceptively or made canceling unreasonably hard, you can file a complaint at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or with your state attorney general.14Federal Trade Commission.
