"Family Share" Support
➧ Apple App Store
- The Apple App Store supports "family share" for the SwimTopia mobile app.
➧ Google Play Store
- The app is not supported by Google's Family Library based on their requirements as stated here.
- Specifically, the bullet that states, "You can't share in-app purchases and apps downloaded at no charge with your family members."
-
Our app is downloaded for free, so upgrading to Pro is an in-app purchase.
-
There is an option at the bottom of the article above to contact Google or post to their help community if you would like to discuss this further with them.
How to Subscribe to Pro
➧ Never had a trial version of a Pro subscription?
You should see a "Try Pro for Free" button at the top of most screens (i.e., the Family Overview, the Meet Overview for any current or past meet, and Settings (wavy lines on top left). Click that button and follow the prompts to subscribe.
You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your iTunes Account Settings or Google Play Store after purchase.
➧ You HAVE used a trial version of a Pro subscription or have canceled your Pro subscription?
You can also manage your renewal through the App Store subscription tool (click on your profile pic in the App Store to get there), or within your Subscriptions under your phone Settings (steps below). Users can manage their subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in their subscriptions after purchase.
➧ You don't see an option to renew?
If you click the "Try Pro for Free" button, you will be taken to your app store screen to confirm the monthly or annual charge. As stated, the trial is a one-time use offering.
Guest Login Pro Upgrade
If you use the Guest access option and upgrade to Pro, and then you log out and log into your member account, the Pro subscription should be retained, as this is tied to your phone.
If you are not seeing Pro features when logged into your member account, try the following steps:
- Click on the "Try Pro for Free" button and then the "Restore Subscription" link to activate the subscription again on your phone. (This link triggers a confirmation from the app store to our app to let us know you have a subscription, so we can link it to your account.)
- Still an issue? - Log out of the app and back into your account.
- If that does not work, uninstall and reinstall the app.
- If these steps do not resolve the issue, submit a support ticket from the app settings screen (wavy lines on top left), with a screenshot of your settings and specific details, and what you have tried.
- You can also enable remote troubleshooting in your settings and retrace your steps -- that will create a transaction log that our technical team can review. Slide the tab to the right, and send us the ID number.

Cancel a Pro subscription from the App Store (or request refund)
The SwimTopia Customer Happiness Team is unable to cancel a Pro subscription or issue any refunds. All cancellations and refund requests must go through either the App Store or the Google Play Store. We provide a quick link to your app subscription management tool from the Settings (wavy lines) in your app (as noted above ), or you can go directly to the App Store or Google Play Store.
» Note: The free trial is a one-time offer, so if you try it and then cancel (even if before the 7 days), you cannot get a second trial period, sorry.
➧ How to cancel an App Store subscription on iPhone or iPad:
- Access your Settings
- Tap on your name at the top
- Tap on Subscriptions
- Tap on the SwimTopia app
- Tap to Cancel Free Trial or Subscription
» Note: Deleting the app DOES NOT cancel your subscription. Just like unplugging your TV from your cable box does not cancel your cable service. Canceling your Pro subscription is between you and the App Store.

➧ How to cancel a Google Play Store subscription:
- On your Android phone or tablet, go to your subscriptions in Google Play.
- Select the subscription you want to cancel.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the instructions.

- If you have a subscription with an app and the app gets removed from Google Play, your future subscription will be canceled. Your past subscriptions will not be refunded.
- When you cancel a subscription you’ll still be able to use your subscription for the time you’ve already paid.

There are still plenty of free features that make the app very useful for parents even when not using our Meet Maestro application. Especially the Live Event/Heat bar to keep you informed of when your athlete is about to swim (if your team has a volunteer updating it), and the Alert Notification feature so your team can quickly notify you on your phone when there are weather cancellations or other important information. You can also sign up for meet events and keep track of your athlete's time history after results are posted.
