Millions of Americans use these 2 apps, now they are closing forever, and you might get a payout

If you've ever saved an article to or coded on these 2 apps, you'll be interested in this news. The two apps, which were once staples for readers and developers, will be shut down permanently in July. However, there is one positive aspect for many users as well.

Which apps will shut down?

Pocket and Glitch, two popular apps used by millions of Americans, will be permanently shut down on July 8. If you are a subscriber, you may be due a refund automatically, reported The Sun.


When subscription sales also ceased in late May, Pocket was taken down from app stores. However, Pocket Premium members might be eligible for reimbursements for the unused portion of their subscriptions, as per a report by The US Sun.

Am I getting a refund automatically?

The read-it-later app subscription costs $4.99 a month or $44.99 (£32.99) annually. Therefore, you should anticipate receiving a portion of your money back on the card you used to make the purchase if you paid for an annual membership that will not be fulfilled.

The app's owner, Mozilla, stated that refunds for yearly subscribers will be issued after July 8. You just need to wait for the money to arrive.

Refunds will be given to those who paid $96 (£70) for an annual subscription to Glitch Pro and still have time remaining.

What happens to my saved data?

Before all the data is permanently erased, users have until the end of the year to download their projects.

Notably, users will have until October 8th to download their saved data before all Pocket data is permanently erased, even though the app will be shutting down the following week. Web developers are the target audience for the Glitch app, which is also giving its users refunds, as per a report by The Sun.
