  • Glitchy but Promising

    By Relax Riesling
    I am enjoying this app and paid for it. However it’s totally glitched out and all my modes are gone, and it’s ticking on this crazy 487,491 his mode with my apps blocked. There’s no way to contact support, just FAQs. Bummer.

    I loved it at first. But about a week in, after setting my app intentions, I will go to open an app and it counts it but never opens it. If I click “open” again, it is counted again but never opens. Super frustrating.
  • Great way to start better habits - Revised

    Well, after the trial was over the company went ahead and used my Apple Pay to automatically charge me for a whole year and wouldn’t provide me with a refund. I personally think any company that sets their subscription up like that only shows they are out to get as much money as they can no matter what. Poor business. I would have done a month to month plan but now I will just delete the app at the cost of $60 wasted! Sad. In only a few days in but realizing that just having small amounts of help to deter me from my crutch apps is very helpful. BePresent is great but would be better if it was a little more interactive.

    If you want to get on an app, you have to go through this whole process, which is a time waster. Other than that it is a decent app.
  • My Unfortunate Experience

    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

    By Erin1645389
    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.
