The app is a trivially simple UI with six menu options in the administrative dropdown menu.  Users have access to everything they'd typically need with the top four options, so they are unlikely to even be aware that the menu is actually scrollable.

If a user wants to unsubscribe, they will not find the option anywhere in the first image.  They must know or discover that the menu is scrollable, and the remaining two options ("Settings" and "Join the Community") are below the fold.

From there, the process is simple.  Subscription management is the only significant function contained in the "Settings" menu, and it is a simple button press.

The web UI does allow users to create an account and start a subscription by putting in payment information.  However, it does not allow the user to manage or cancel their profile, account, or subscription in the web UI.  Once a user is subscribed, it appears that they will have to download the app to manage their subscription.

If a user chooses to update their payment information, they will be sent to an otherwise inaccessible web UI that allows them to perform that function -- and nothing else.  Users are provided the details of their subscription, but they cannot alter any of it.  All they can do is put in different payment information.
