Really helping me be more mindful with my screen time!!
This app is very helpful and would love if i could put limits on multiple apps without paying but that's what making apps are for
Cancelled. Still attempts to bill me monthly.
I really like be present, it’s useful and transparent and the ui is friendly. Highly recommend
It has seriously helped me decrease the amount I doom scroll!
What the confusing price structure?! Plus the set up was so obnoxious I knew it would piss me off. Vibrations and animations and candy like buttons. It’s like they’re targeting candy crush users.
Love it and how it blocks at certain times as well as upon request. I also like that it will ask you if you really want to give up your streak before clicking on the app during those tempting times
This app is effective at making you keep your promises to yourself, to spend less time looking at your phone and more time interacting with the world. It also makes you realize how addicted to your phone you’ve been. What you do after you realize that is up to you, as it should be.
I just don't understand why everything has to be behind a paywall. If anything it should be a one time purchase, maybe $5.00 maximum. im not spending $50.00 a year for an app. I remember when apps used to he free to use, and if they weren't free it was a one time purchase. I really don't care for your free trial either. EDIT: Company replied to me. There is a major difference between a free version of the app and a free trial for a week.
flippin awesome.
This has helped me dramatically reduce my screen time, and in return be more productive throughout my day! I like how you can customize different blocked sessions.
I have cut down my time in my most used app by half
