Let me use the app without my credit card!

If you offer a free trial then why would you make the user put in their credit card info??? If it was truly about learning, and if the free trial was well intended, then the app would allow you to use its services for a limited time upon creation of an account. I should not have to put in my credit card information for a free trial. This is a tactic to make more money off of people forget to cancel. It makes the app extremely unwelcoming. Changing this is possible, the pay wall is their number one complaint. SIMPLY LET ME USE THE TRIAL WITHOUT PUTTING MY CREDIT CARD INFO THEN BLOCK ME ONCE THE TRIAL IS OVER.

Hey, thanks for your feedback, and we understand your frustration. We've shared it with the team. Nothing is charged during the trial, and you can cancel any time before it ends without paying anything.

Fantastic App

I really wish it didn’t cost so much, I would love to proceed with this app. It’s a fantastic idea, like it’s set up exactly how I set up my everyday AI, to always provide evidence/quotes and peer reviewed research . The idea truly is brilliant. But it shouldn’t cost so much for something that is simply for learning and entertainment, in my opinion.

Hey, thanks for the feedback, and glad the sourcing and citations landed for you! We've shared your note with our team. The subscription is what keeps the content completely ad-free so everyone can focus on learning. We appreciate the suggestion, and we'll keep improving the experience to make it a 5-star experience for you!

Bug Ruins this app

When you first download it it won’t let you get past the first screen without making you buy something! I tried clicking no thank you for the option to have the free version yet it doesn’t work!

Unusable due to bugs

Buggiest app I have actually ever used. Can’t believe how much money they want for this when it doesn’t work 80% of the time. Attempting to open it via the widget will also permanently break it so you have to delete / redownload. Thats fun
<(Brennan huff)><(Brennan huff)>

Response from developer

Hey Brennan, really sorry about that. The widget bug especially is not okay and we appreciate you flagging it specifically. There’s a free trial you can use to test things out before paying anything. If the issues persist after a fresh install, drop us a line at customer.support@be…

No sound

I have no sound in app 😢

Response from developer

Hey, sorry about that! Sound issues are definitely not the experience we want for you. This can sometimes be caused by silent mode or volume settings on your device. If it's still not working, reach out to us at customer.support@befreed.ai and we'll get it sorted for you!

金を払わない人には使わせない。

無料版のままでは画面に進むこともできない、いわゆる海外で最近流行りの自己啓発に乗っかってAIを使いお金を取ることしか考えてないコンテンツでした。残念です。

Accidentally purchased by younger relatives without consent. Would not let me refund.

Hey, really sorry that happened. Since purchases on the App Store are managed by Apple, refunds have to go through them directly at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you're still having trouble, reach out to us at customer.support@befreed.ai and we'll do what we can to help.

Kostenpflichtig

Ohne Zahlung kommst du nicht weit in dieser App, vielleicht auch mal für Leute zugänglich machen die kein Abo abschließen können, stattdessen musst zu erstmal ein abo abschließen um irgendwas in dieser App machen zu können

Can’t close premium ad

App is advertised to have a free plan option with premium paid plans for more personalised use. But I got stuck in a never ending cycle of trying to close the ad for the premium plans. So actually not usable in free plan
Myself7879Myself7879

Response from developer

Hey, sorry about that, getting stuck in a loop trying to dismiss the premium screen is genuinely frustrating. Some features are usable for free without a subscription, so the free plan is real. We'd want to look into what happened on your end, reach us at customer.support@befreed.ai and we'll sort it out.

The Antidote to Mindless Scrolling

BeFreed is a breath of fresh air. It beautifully bridges human insight with AI efficiency, giving you the best of both worlds by combining subjective human experience with objective analysis. In a world full of brain-rotting doomscrolling, it respects your brain and helps you learn real stuff, faster than you'd think possible. The fact that you can download summaries to keep forever and even have AI generate a whole podcast to make learning fun is just mind-blowing, all wrapped in a stunning UI that makes navigating it a dream. By empowering users to easily create and share knowledge summaries, BeFreed creates a powerful compounding effect, making the process of helping others grasp new concepts seamless and incredibly far-reaching. Hands down the best app of 2026!

Too much tokens

It literally demands 49 tokens to make one podcast. And there is no way to refill unless you pay. No everyone has that much money to waste.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback, and we understand the frustration. Coins are only for creating your own lessons. There's a lot in Discover you can listen to without spending a single coin. And if you do want to make your own lesson, a subscription comes with 1,500 coins a month, which is around 30 lessons, and you can try it free first. Hope you'll give it another look!

Paywall

Instantly a paywall didn’t even get to try the app

Final Sale Scam

Any app that states “all purchases final” doesn’t stand behind what they created. It’s scam tactics of unscrupulous developers. Taking an annual subscription fee they trick you into after a trial, then leaving no out.

Can’t even use the app without pushing for subscription.
