  • My Unfortunate Experience

    1
    By Jolt917
    I downloaded your app last night, but halfway through the onboarding process, I decided against it. IMHO, the app is too intrusive. During this process, at some point these guys charged my Apple account $24.99 for an annual subscription with a 1 week free trial. Unless I am missing something, this offer means that after the trial week, I can elect to continue with BePresent and approve the charge or cancel my subscription with no charge appearing through Apple Pay on my bank account. This practice in and of itself is deceptive. But beyond that I cannot remember at any point in this process where I agreed to the charge. There was no transaction approval notification that asked me to approve or decline the $24.99 fee. This is a standard and direct request for approval to proceed with the transaction and the industry standard. You just went ahead and did it, as far as I can tell, and I am pretty scrupulous about apps taking my $$$. If I am missing something, enlighten me as to where I missed an opportunity to opt out of this payment. I don't recall seeing anything, and if indeed I missed something, it's because you deliberately obscured it. I have filed for a refund with Apple and registered a complaint with them. I have also posted this issue with Justuseapp, where you deservedly get less than stellar reviews. Shame on you. Do better.
  • Interface Broken

    I didn't have the chance to even trial this app because it has been incredibly buggy. When selecting apps to permit during my focus period the interface just breaks down. I have patiently tolerated dozens of error notifications at this stage, and kept trying the suggested solutions (closing and re-launching the app, which isn't ideal as progress isn't saved) and typing in app selections via the search field (this just resulted in more error notifications). I have to give up because it simply does not work. This is surprising given the caliber of this app and the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I wish I could have used it.
  • 78-day streak

    By Zimeg
    Facebook is a black hole and this app is helping me get control of the dopamine addiction. I’m on a 78 day streak of less than 10 sessions per day of 5 minutes each (not winning any prizes lol but it helps me get OFF the app after 5 mins and not open it a crazy number of times). I’m lowering the amount to 5 sessions now and I feel like I’ve truly broken my Facebook addiction without deleting the app completely.
  • i hate his app

    By Love it, have suggestions
    I’ve had this downloaded for less than 24 hours and already see a difference. Easy to use. One suggestion is to expand the reward offerings. I know this is a newer app, so those might be on the way. But it’d be cool to earn my way toward more than just free trials for other services. Maybe a gift card or a specific product or % off of DoorDash or uber eats.
  • Less than ideal

    By KL2957
    Trial period review, cancelled. I had high hopes for this given the glowing reviews. Pros: apps being blocked are great, makes me rethink opening and scrolling mindlessly. Con: I have a habit of leaving multiple apps open even though I am not actively using them. The problem with BePresent is that it cannot distinguish between background apps, and actively counts them as active cumulatively. I reached “3 hours of screen time” within an hour simply because I had apps running in the background.
  • Helps but needs major changes

    By michell.zara
    In regards to staying off of social media and doom scrolling, this app has cured me of that. But when it comes to staying under my screen time it is almost impossible because it only allows you to limit entire categories and not specific apps. Once it moves to specific apps, I will give this a five out of five.
  • Not special

    Be present is helpful toward tracking my phone use and reducing social media. I have apps that I use for production and learning however and I don’t want those added into my social media hours. I will figure it out
