It would be nice to see these trail subscriptions automatically cancelled rather than automatically continued. |

Yeah, an explicit opt in through a separate process triggered maybe a week before the end of the trial period, otherwise the trial stops would be a much clearer and fairer way to deal with this sort of thing. |

TBH I've signed up to a few free trials of things. What I've normally done is put a reminder on my phone to cancel the subscription on a specific date (there's usually a deadline by which time you have to cancel, which might be earlier than when the trial period ends). I've only been caught out once by Sky and their NowTV subscription (I had a lot of free passes). |

I specifically don't sign up for trial offers so I don't have to worry about things being correctly cancelled before they end. |
