Everyone should use the app
Great app which really works
This app has everything thought out and is super easy to use. I’m able to set my own limits and exclude things I want to. It’s been such a good personal challenge to myself to stay off my phone when I don’t need to be on it.
When I select an app and it asks me do I want to use it, I actually pause and ask myself that. It’s been very helpful. Including the days I am not having dinner the same time or going to bed. I make different choices. Which has been very helpful in reducing screen time
I love this app! It has motivated me to actually be present. It’s so easy to use and keeps me accountable. After 6 days, I am seeing a shift downward in my stress level, distractions, and need to “log in.” Plus, I’m setting an example for my teens who are struggling with new screen boundaries implemented in our home. I wish I would have downloaded this earlier. I’m looking forward to a school year with less screens and more family time!

This is a great idea but executed poorly in my experience. There was no clear onboarding (or it was easy to skip) leaving me with no sense of what I was achieving by hitting my screen time goals. Every time I went on the app (usually to unlock something it was blocking me from) I just saw a bunch of ticks that didn’t seem to change whether I avoided apps that day or not. The result was I continued with blocked apps, just in smaller increments, having to confirm I wanted to “lose my streak” or “continue” every 5 mins. I’ve deleted the app even though I’m paid up for another 10 months.

I love what the app is doing for my schedule. It is a little difficult to navigate, if after set up, it doesn't actually suit intention or made a mistake in your choices. I'm getting it fine tuned slowly but surely.
I think this is really working. Only using it for 3 days and screen time is already much less than it was. I love it so far.
Shuts the game off at the time I said I want to stop…I definitely would have continued to play if it hadn’t stopped me 🤩
It’s nice to get on, but have a timer so I don’t waste my precious mornings. Much more motivated to get things done around the farm, also!
I’ve downloaded bePresent couple of months ago and it completely changed my life. I don’t use social media as much anymore and my addiction lowered a lot. Screen time went from 5h/day to 2.5h/week! Highly recommend!
Keeps me In the real world
This app helped me break out of bad habits—thank you!
I can actually enjoy things without them being totally gone. This app displays such a good message too!
Love this! Helps me reduce my screen time on "time suck" apps!
Bepresent is an amazing app! It helped me lower my phone usage overall. As a mom of 4 I was struggling to get to bed myself at a reasonable time because of all the scrolling I would do late at night and this app helped me do just that.
It really works and it’s easy. Love it!
It’s been super helpful in my attempts to reduce my social media time. I’ve done the apple down time and before I know it I’ve just gotten used to entering the password to unlock. This is actually making me think about indulging in Instagram as a session as opposed to an anytime filler (that then sucks up a ton of time)

Working well so far on free trial. Unsure if I’ll keep paying for it but it’s certainly effective and love the principles behind it. Easy to set up! Would recommend
This is definitely worth it. I’ve had the app a little less than a week and already I’ve noticed a difference in my app usage. I went from spending 4+ hours a day scrolling on social media to less than 2 hours a day. Get your life back Ya’ll. These phones are not worth your life.
