User Reviews

BePresent can help users reduce screen time and provide accountability, with several reviews noting real behavior change and motivation. However, recurring problems undermine its value: difficult billing/trial experiences and unhelpful or slow customer support; reliable performance issues (lag, crashes); inconsistent app blocking (essential apps sometimes blocked or not blocked); and a steep, non-Apple Store pricing model. Overall, it shows potential for positive impact but reliability, support, and cost concerns hinder widespread satisfaction.
Pros
  • Effectively reduces and changes user behavior around phone usage
  • Helps with self-awareness and accountability (progress tracking, accountability partner potential)
  • Blocking capabilities to limit access to apps and promote focus
  • Positive experiences for many users who found it helpful and motivating
Cons
  • Billing and free trial issues, including unexpected charges and unclear cancellation
  • Poor or non-responsive customer support
  • Performance problems like lag, slow loading, and crashes
  • Inconsistent or problematic app blocking/allowlist (blocking essential apps or failing to block intended ones)
  • Expensive pricing and a complicated subscription model (not through Apple Store, no free version)

I’m brand new to this, but excited to try it. I’m a mom to three kids and hate how much I’m on my phone. I work part time in social media, but want to keep my phone and social scrolling for that only and not waste my own valuable time.

They took my money ($70!!) and the app never loaded properly or allowed me to open SM. DO NOT fall for this. Disputing charge with credit card company now.

Waste of time and hard to cancel your subscription. Not user friendly. Would not recommend.
