User reviews

Great app, worth the money!

I never leave reviews for apps, but this one genuinely deserves it. If you’re on the fence about getting it, just do it.

In just a few days, it’s helped redirect so much of my mindless social media scrolling into actually being present and finding other things to do—reading, exercising, or even just learning to sit and be without constantly reaching for my phone. I didn’t realize how much I needed that.

Better than iPhone screen time limit!!

The way BePresent shows how long I’m using the app that I got addicted in real time helps a lot to look back what I was doing

The key to breaking my habits

This has been the first effective app to help me drop bad habits and build positive alternatives. I have a 224 day streak so far with my screen time control!

Scam

I signed up for the 7-day free trial and tried to cancel the subscription before the trial ended, but the app did not provide a clear or functional way to unsubscribe.

I have now been charged $59.99 for a subscription that I did not intend to continue and that I do not even use.

I consider this charge completely unacceptable. A user must be able to easily cancel a free trial before being charged, and the fact that I was unable to do so despite trying makes this feel extremely deceptive.

I am requesting an immediate full refund of the $59.99 charge and confirmation that my subscription has been permanently cancelled so that I am not charged again.

Please resolve this as soon as possible.
