Pro, Pro+, and the yearly fine print
Bad Coach offers Free with ads plus Pro and Pro+ as yearly in-app subscriptions. This page explains what you buy, what the store handles, what Bad Coach cannot magically fix, and why deleting the app is not cancellation.
Version and scope
Version: August 2026. These subscription terms apply in addition to the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and the rules of the relevant store.
They explain the paid Bad Coach variants, free use with ads, automatic renewal, cancellation, refunds, Pro+ Online Backup, and support for subscription questions.
Provider of Bad Coach is Patrick Benkö e.U., Patrick Benkö, BSc (WU) MSc (WU), Rauchwart 207, 7535 Rauchwart im Burgenland, Austria.
If store information, app information, and website information differ, the App Store or Google Play display is generally authoritative for purchase, renewal, cancellation, tax, currency, and payment processing.

- 14.99 €/year

Free stays usable
Bad Coach can be used for free, but Free is the variant with ads. The coach then costs no money, but you get ads breathing down your neck.
Free may limit app functions, show advertising, and provide less comfort than Pro or Pro+. Available Free functions depend on app version, platform, store rules, and technical availability.
Free is not a subscription and does not create yearly store billing. If you do not buy a paid variant or do not pay after a trial, you can generally continue using Bad Coach with ads where the app version offers that.
Advertising may run through Google AdMob and its privacy and consent mechanisms. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Trial and switching to Free
If Bad Coach offers a free trial, the trial applies only for the displayed period and under the rules of the relevant store.
After the trial, the store may start a subscription if you confirmed it and did not cancel in time. Whether and how a trial is offered is shown by the store or app before completion.
If you do not want to pay, cancel any starting or active store subscription in time in the relevant store. Ignoring the app is not a cancellation strategy.
If you use Free after the trial, ads may appear and paid features may be locked.
Pro
Pro costs 14.99 €/year and unlocks full local app access.
This can include step bets, daily missions, roasts, score, level, Nemesis progress, achievements, badges, local app functions, and ad-free use where supported by the relevant platform and app version.
Pro is the variant for people who want Bad Coach without ads and without Pro+ Online Backup.
Pro generally stores your Bad Coach progress locally on your device unless you use another feature that needs transfer.
Pro+
Pro+ costs 19.99 €/year and includes full app access plus Pro+ Online Backup.
Pro+ includes Pro functions plus a remotely stored save state of your Bad Coach progress.
With a usable account session, the current save state is saved remotely automatically after relevant progress changes. You can also save manually and restore manually later.
Pro+ Online Backup is not live multi-device sync, not a full phone backup, and not a promise to restore every state of every old app version forever.
Store subscription and automatic renewal
Pro and Pro+ are yearly in-app subscriptions. The yearly subscription renews automatically until cancelled unless the relevant store states otherwise.
The contract for payment, payment method, invoices, store account, subscription management, and automatic renewal runs through the App Store or Google Play.
Apple and Google may apply their own rules for confirmation, renewal, price changes, taxes, family sharing, country changes, invoices, refunds, and store accounts.
Bad Coach does not receive full credit card, bank, or payment data. For the app, the relevant point is mainly whether the store reports that Pro or Pro+ is active.
Store price controls
The price shown in the store is authoritative if region, currency, taxes, store promotions, store tests, or store rules differ from the euro prices listed here.
Website prices are product information, but the store is the checkout. Before purchase, the store shows the final price, term, and payment confirmation.
If Apple or Google shows different prices because of taxes, exchange rates, regions, or store requirements, the store display applies to your purchase.
If prices change, notification, consent, and continuation follow the rules of the relevant store and applicable law.
Store cancellation, not app deletion
You must cancel Pro or Pro+ in the App Store or Google Play. Bad Coach cannot cancel a store subscription for you.
Deleting the app does not end an active store subscription. Changing devices does not end an active store subscription. Deleting a Bad Coach account also does not end an active store subscription.
After cancellation, paid features usually remain available until the end of the paid period unless the relevant store states otherwise.
If you cannot find cancellation, check whether you are signed into the correct Apple or Google account. Store subscriptions belong to the store account, not to your feeling that this should now be done.
Refunds and withdrawal
Refunds, returns, withdrawal, cancellation disputes, and payment disputes are handled through the App Store or Google Play under the applicable store rules.
Bad Coach cannot override store decisions and cannot directly trigger a refund when Apple or Google manages the purchase, invoice, or subscription.
Whether you are entitled to a refund depends on store rules, country, consumer law, timing, use, and the relevant store's decision.
If you want a refund, use the official store refund process. Support can explain the app context but cannot secretly press the store switch from inside.
Restore Purchases and subscription status
The app may offer purchase restore, store status checks, or similar mechanics so Pro or Pro+ can be recognized again on your device.
If Pro or Pro+ is not recognized after device change, reinstall, or store issue, first check whether you are signed into the correct store account.
Restore can only recognize what the store reports for your account. If the store does not report an active subscription, Bad Coach cannot pretend one exists.
Short delays, store outages, network issues, or platform errors can prevent immediate status updates.
Account, Pro+ Online Backup, and subscription are separate
Store subscription, Bad Coach account, and Pro+ Online Backup are related but not the same thing.
The store subscription determines whether Pro or Pro+ is paid and active. The Bad Coach account can be used for login by email code or compatible confirmation link, Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, or Online Backup. Account-related support may require a Bad Coach account or assignable email address. The public website feedback form requires no Bad Coach account and does not use that account.
Pro+ Online Backup stores a save state of your progress. Cancelling a subscription does not automatically delete your Online Backup.
You can separately request deletion of your Bad Coach account and assignable Online Backup data through /account/delete, even if Pro+ has expired.
Store purchase history, invoices, and refund processes stay with the relevant store and are not removed by Bad Coach account deletion.
What Pro+ Online Backup can contain
Pro+ Online Backup can contain progress, achievements, score, level, logbook, challenge target steps, final challenge steps, and challenge status.
A backup can overwrite older save states. Restoring a save state can replace local progress accordingly.
Bad Coach tries to provide stable save and restore, but does not promise perfect protection against user mistakes, broken devices, store issues, network errors, platform changes, or intentionally deleted data.
If your progress matters to you, use backup functions deliberately and check before restoring whether you really want to load the stored state.
Changes to features and packages
Bad Coach may change functions, package names, prices, trial offers, Free rules, advertising, Pro+ backup behavior, or store configuration when useful for operation, security, store requirements, or product quality.
Mandatory rights remain unaffected. If the store requires consent for price changes or material subscription changes, that process runs through the store.
Not every function is available on every platform, in every region, or in every app version. If a feature comes in a later version, that is not a retroactive promise for old builds.
Abuse and fair use
Do not abuse subscriptions, store status, Restore Purchases, login, Pro+ Online Backup, support, or feedback.
Do not use manipulated purchase receipts, false store status messages, automated mass requests, backend attacks, paywall bypassing, spam, support abuse, or attempts to unlock paid features without valid entitlement.
In case of abuse, we may restrict functions, refuse support, suspend accounts, apply security measures, or review legal steps.
Subscription support
If Pro, Pro+, Restore Purchases, Online Backup, or subscription status does not work as expected, email support@bad-coach.app when you need a reply. Use /support/feedback only for a one-way general support report.
Helpful details are device, operating system, app version, store, approximate purchase time, visible error message, and whether you use iOS/App Store or Android/Google Play.
Please do not send full payment data, passwords, ID documents, or medical details. Subscription support needs store context and the error, not your private archive.
For refunds, cancellation, or invoices, support can point you to the store process. Usually the store must decide and execute it.
Apple, Google, and additional rules
On iOS, Bad Coach uses Apple's Standard EULA and no custom EULA. On Google Play, Google Play rules also apply for apps, purchases, subscriptions, cancellation, and refunds.
Store rules can determine how subscriptions are concluded, renewed, cancelled, refunded, paused, resumed, or handled after price changes.
Where platform terms are mandatory, they apply to the relevant store process. This page explains Bad Coach, but it does not replace store terms.
Final notes
These subscription terms are part of the Bad Coach Terms of Use. If individual points are invalid, the rest remains effective where possible.
Austrian law applies unless mandatory consumer protection rules provide otherwise.
For general use, the Terms of Use also apply. For personal data, the Privacy Policy applies. For provider details and mandatory information, see the imprint.
