💳 Subscriptions & Billing
How do I unsubscribe or cancel my subscription? iOS & Android
Because your subscription is processed securely through your mobile operating system, you can cancel it anytime directly via your device's app store settings:
On iPhone or iPad (Apple App Store):- Open your device Settings app.
- Tap your Name / Apple ID banner at the very top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Orbora from the active list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

When cancelled, your Pro features remain fully accessible until the end of your current billing period.
What is RevenueCat? Security
RevenueCat is our verified in-app purchase and subscription infrastructure partner, trusted by thousands of leading mobile applications worldwide.
RevenueCat communicates directly with Apple's App Store and Google Play to validate transaction receipts, sync active subscriptions, and unlock Pro features on your account.
🔒 Zero Financial Exposure: RevenueCat never receives, sees, or stores your credit card number or bank details. All financial transactions are handled exclusively by Apple or Google.
How do I restore my purchases from RevenueCat? Restoration
If you reinstalled the app, upgraded your operating system, or switched to a new device, you can instantly restore your active subscription without paying again:
- Ensure you are logged into the same Apple ID or Google Play account that originally made the purchase.
- Open Orbora and log into your account.
- Navigate to the Account page > tap Settings > tap Restore Purchases (or tap the restore option on any Pro paywall screen).
RevenueCat will query Apple or Google, verify your active entitlement receipt, and unlock your Pro privileges within seconds.
How do I request a refund from the App Store or Google Play? Refund Policy
All mobile payments are handled directly by Apple and Google. Refund requests are processed directly through each store's self-service portal without needing to email the developer:
Apple App Store (iOS):Apple manages 100% of iOS refunds directly:
- Go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- Under "What can we help you with?", select Request a refund.
- Choose the reason and select Orbora, then submit. Apple typically reviews requests within 48 hours.
Google handles refunds directly through automated self-service:
- In the Google Play Store app: Tap your Profile Icon > Payments & subscriptions > Budget & order history > find Orbora > tap Request a refund or Report a problem.
- On the web: Visit Google Play Order History or use the Google Play Refund Request page, select Orbora, and submit your request. Google evaluates and processes these requests directly.
How does the free trial work and when will I be charged? Billing
If you start a subscription tier featuring a free trial, you receive complete, unrestricted Pro access for the trial duration without any upfront charge.
To avoid being charged, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the trial ends in your device's store settings. If you do not cancel, your trial automatically transitions into the chosen paid subscription plan.
What happens if my credit card or payment method fails? Billing
If an automatic renewal fails due to an expired or declined card, Apple and Google enter a billing grace period. During this window, you can update your payment method in your Apple ID or Google Play account without losing your saved settings or ongoing streaks.
If payment is not resolved by the end of the retry window, your account simply reverts to the standard tier.
Can I use my subscription across both iPhone and Android? Cross-Platform
Yes! Your Pro subscription entitlement is synchronized through your Orbora account. As long as you log into the exact same email address on both your iOS and Android devices, your Pro access and benefits will be recognized on both platforms.
Note: If you wish to cancel or modify your subscription plan, you must do so in the store where it was originally purchased (App Store or Google Play).
🪙 Talks & Credits
Can I refund top-up credits? Credits
No. Top-up credits are consumable digital items provisioned immediately for high-performance AI generation, voice synthesis, and interactive talk sessions.
🛑 Non-Refundable: Because cloud compute resources are instantly allocated upon purchase, all credit pack purchases are final and non-refundable, as stated during checkout and in accordance with App Store & Google Play digital consumables guidelines.
If permanently deleted, can I recover my talks? Data Policy
No. Under no circumstances can permanently deleted talks be recovered.
When you delete a talk session or permanently delete your account, the records, voice audio, transcripts, and embeddings are immediately and irreversibly purged from our live Firebase database and cloud servers.
🛡️ Zero Retention Privacy: We uphold strict GDPR and CCPA zero-trace compliance. We do not keep shadow backups of deleted personal conversations, which means neither our automated systems nor our developers can restore purged talks.
Can I switch phones to get my talks on another device? Device Sync
Yes! All your saved talks, preferences, and credit balances are securely linked to your email address / account login, not to your physical hardware.
To access your talks on a new phone or tablet:
- Install Orbora on your new phone.
- Sign in with the exact same email address and authentication method (e.g., Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In) you originally used.
- Your talks, history, and active balance will automatically sync to your new device.
What is the difference between the Pro Subscription and Top-Up Credits? Usage
Pro is our single, all-inclusive subscription tier (there are no higher tiers). A Pro subscription gives you complete access to AI talk generation and comes with an included credit allowance.
- Pro Subscription: Unlocks AI talk generation capabilities, premium soundscapes, faster cloud priority, and provides a regular monthly allowance of talk credits.
- Top-Up Credits: Since Pro is already the highest tier, top-up packs exist strictly to generate more talks or longer talks whenever you need extra capacity beyond your monthly subscription allowance.
✨ Credits Accumulate: Credits provided by your Pro subscription are not lost at the end of the month. They roll over and accumulate in your account as long as your subscription is active!
Do credits expire or disappear at the end of the month? Credits
No. Neither top-up credits nor credits granted by your Pro subscription are lost. Unused subscription credits accumulate and stack with any top-up credits you purchase.
If you cancel your Pro subscription, any credits you have accumulated or purchased remain safely attached to your account balance for future use.
👤 Account & Data
How do I delete the app vs. delete my account? Account
There is a fundamental difference between deleting the app icon from your phone and deleting your personal data:
1. Deleting the App (Uninstalling):Press and hold the Orbora app icon on your home screen > select Remove App (iOS) or Uninstall (Android). This removes local cached files from your phone, but keeps your cloud profile and talks intact for whenever you reinstall.
2. Permanently Deleting Your Account & Data:If you want all your records permanently wiped:
- Open Orbora.
- Navigate to the Account page > tap Settings > Manage Account.
- Tap Delete Account and confirm.
⚠️ Critical Reminder: Deleting your account deletes your database profile, but does not automatically cancel an active Apple/Google subscription. Make sure to cancel your subscription in the App Store or Google Play Store first!
Are my talks and voice audio private? Privacy
Yes, completely. Your privacy is the cornerstone of Orbora.
- All audio streaming and generation data is encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols.
- We never sell, rent, or trade your personal discussions, wellness rhythms, or voice data to third-party data brokers.
- Our team members and developers do not listen to your private audio talks.
For more details, please review our full Privacy Policy.
Can I change my account email address? Account
No, not at this time. Your talks, accumulated credits, and profile data are permanently linked to the email address used when you first created your account.
Changing your login email is not currently supported in the app (this feature is planned for a future update). If you have lost access to your email or have an exceptional situation, please reach out to contact@criaphore.com.
🛠️ Support & Technical
How do I contact the developer or support? Contact
You can get in touch with our team anytime via email at:
To help us solve your inquiry as quickly as possible, please include:
- Your registered Orbora account email address.
- Your device model (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S24) and OS version.
- A brief description or screenshot of the issue you are experiencing.
- If billing-related: your Apple or Google order confirmation number.
Can I use Orbora and listen to talks offline? Connectivity
Orbora talks are AI-generated audio sessions (there are no live conversational phone calls).
- Generating New Talks: Generating a new talk requires an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular network) because cloud AI models compose and synthesize your session in real time.
- Listening to Talks Offline: Once a talk is generated and downloaded or saved to your device, you can listen to and replay your talks completely offline anywhere, anytime.
- Local meditation timers and cached soundscapes are also fully accessible without internet.
Why did my talk or audio generation time out? Troubleshooting
Generation timeouts are almost always caused by a brief dip in network connectivity or temporary peak server latency.
If you encounter an error:
- Check that your Wi-Fi or cellular data signal is active and stable.
- Toggle Airplane mode on and off to refresh your DNS route.
- Tap Retry on the session screen. If the session failed without delivering content, your credits are automatically refunded to your balance.
