How to subscribe (& get the free trial)

Note: Subscription is tied to your Apple ID / Google Play account. This means unless you change from iOS to Android (or vice versa), your subscription is fine. I’m not sure about logging into different Apple ID/Google Play account at the moment.

Japan screenshots but same idea for North America version.

The option is found at Shop. Click on the PAD Pass button at the very top.

Warnings for PAD Pass.

PAD Pass is a monthly subscription service, and is renewed near the end of subscription.
If you use device change (iOS to Android or Android to iOS), be sure to unsubscribe then subscribe again.

Click the button on the left to agree and continue.

Did you REALLY read the warnings? Press Yes (left button) to continue. (Right is no)

You’ll be asked to confirm. Here’s what I see on iOS – Free trial, and the 1 month subscription.

Note: You’re not charged until after the trial period, and you can cancel the monthly subscription 24 hours before trial ends so that you’re not charged.

For iOS, sign in to your Apple ID to complete.

You’ll receive an email from Apple when completed. As mentioned above, if I don’t want the subscription (that starts on Dec. 11), I have until Dec. 10 to cancel before they charge 980 yen on my account.

Unsubscribe/re-subscribing

You can unsubscribe the auto renewal anytime, and this will not end your pass. The perks (daily dungeons etc) retains until your pass expires.

For team slots, the teams you saved will not return if you subscribe again after your pass expires.
The end time for team slots and bonus XP are 3:59am JST in the next day, same as server reset time.
For dungeons, you can still run the uncleared gift dungeons until it expires (currently 3 days)
