If you cancel your Premium Plan (Monthly Plan or Annual Plan) and revert to the Free Plan, the photos and videos other than those clipped to "Today's Cover" will no longer be stored in the cloud.
The same applies to past photos and videos recorded during your Premium Plan subscription, as follows:
Types of Photos/Videos | During Premium Plan Subscription | After Cancelling Premium Plan |
Photos clipped to "Today's Cover" | ✔ | ✔ |
Videos clipped to "Today's Cover" | ✔ | ✘ |
Photos/Videos recorded on the timeline | ✔ | ✘ |
*(1) Videos clipped to "Today's Cover" during your Premium Plan subscription will appear as thumbnail images on the cover after reverting to the Free Plan.
*(2) If the same photo and video data still exists on your device, it will continue to appear on the timeline. However, if the data is missing, it will disappear from the timeline. (Note: In cases such as switching devices, if the file location of the photo/video data has changed since it was loaded into the app, the data ID may change. This can prevent the app from recognizing it as the same photo, resulting in it not being displayed.)
The "Export feature" (scheduled for release in December 2025) is available while you are subscribed to the Premium Plan. We recommend exporting and saving your data, including photos and videos recorded in the Hobonichi Techo App, before cancelling your subscription.
Additionally, the following features exclusive to the Premium Plan will no longer be available after cancellation:
Memory Print (*If you have redeemed a free "Trial Ticket", you can still use it for the allotted number of times even after cancellation.)
Advanced Search (Image search by keyword)
Export feature
*Even after completing the cancellation procedure, you can continue to use the Premium Plan until the next renewal date when the cancellation becomes effective.
