Good and bad

Since I have had BE PRESENT I have controlled my endless scrolling and gaming. That is good. My Siri has stopped functioning correctly since I installed this app and my tech people at the Apple Store told me to delete the app. I have tried to contact Be Present about this to no avail. My Siri is most important to me so I will have to delete this well intended app.

It’s working

My screen time has been around 2 hours/ day vs the 4 I was doing … so it’s working !

Scam - Fake Free Trial

The title says “1 week free trial” but I was immediately charged £39.99 and Apple refused my refund request so I’m stuck with a 1 year subscription when I thought I was trialling it for 1 week.

Helping me to set my phone down

Brilliant app it has made me realize how much time I waste on socials - this counts how many times I log onto each app which makes me think twice about it - I highly recommend

Great app

Just starting out. Trying to still learn all it offers. But don’t want to sit too long on the app :-) but it’s good with all it offers. And definitely helps me not be on long with the reminders set.
