being Reviews

App says it’s here to help, but right off the bat it takes your contact info and diagnostics data without your permission. I open it up to get help for feeling stressed and it starts playing music with no way to turn it off, after telling me firmly to just plug in my headphones. What if your users aren’t in a place where they can listen to their headphones or broadcast loud music, like I ended up doing. The part of being about stress was stressfully very long, with an overwhelming amount of information about problems I didn’t even think I had, but now I’m not sure, maybe I do need help because nobody likes me because I’m unattractive??? Maybe suggesting that there is something wrong with people that choose not to date during a pandemic is fine and I should read the section called “I feel scared to date again???” I was interested in the “talk to a mental health friend” feature, but it has wait times to access, and now I’m wondering, since being warns users that you shouldn’t rely on it for true crises, if the people that pretend to be your friend are fully qualified/licensed mental health professionals, and if they are paid properly for their mental health guidance, as there is a huge price difference between being and apps like Betterhelp that openly advertise their guidance as this app given by licensed mental health practitioners. Hmmm. I wonder who they hire here and what those people tell other people about me and my mental health and the data that they take from my phone, hmmm…

Was here when being wasn’t known much, you didn’t have to pay, had wonderful things like music and the therapies ofc. But for some reason they changed everything, now you have to pay, and you are on a waitlist… ridiculous honestly. And now on top of everything you need a discord and some people just don’t have access to that or just DONT want it. Honestly, even the entire app’s design downgraded, it went from a calm and plain not overwhelming design to constant swirls and colors and off outing design that is actually anxiety inducing to many people I know. I would love recommending being to many of my family and friends but now will no longer be downloading it again, and will move on to other, better apps. If y’all want a better app I suggest flinch, and a few others that are free and very calm in design and don’t have to pay. Really grateful for how being Used to be, but goodbye to this new and “Improved” update.
Also the 1 star rating went crazy after the update, being screams about how much it listens to its users but unfortunately is losing many of them. I was also one of the people who suggested added “Voice” to being because it would help a lot of people. Glad they listened for that. But everything else was a huge downgrade.

I deleted my entire account and being still charged my card 30 dollars. Scam.

No matter how many times I tap “I Understand”, it does not proceed. I am using an iPod touch 7th gen. How do I fix this?

Ive been using being for years and it has gotten me through so much, what is with this ridiculous update? And the awful app icon? I am so disappointed

Unable to get opened
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and still unable to get being open (it’s telling me that there is a log-in error)
Please fix, would have loved to be able to use it!!!

I really want to try being out😢 I’ve been struggling with my day to day life because of depression and these apps tend to give me a routine or something to do… BUT, it’s hard to use being when you open it and it stays stuck on the disclaimer page… I uninstalled until it’s fixed😢 please fix asap😭

being feels buggy and unpolished. It overloads you with information that isn’t relevant to your situation. Plus, the sound can’t be disabled which is not a sensory-friendly experience. It’s not clear about the mental health friend option.

Most importantly, being sent me to a third party site to pay for a subscription. This seems SUPER scammy.

App not loading

Been using being for a while and I really like the music and the quotes. Lifts my mood up. But since the update I haven’t been able to log in and really need that music rn. Help?

i have tried many mental health apps but i promise this app is where my search ends. i wasn’t sure. i thought this is going to be yet another app i download and try but as soon as i signed in and i realized its different. issues are designed to be relatable to what i am going through and solutions are so very personalized for me — as if the maker made being specifically for me

This is a great app especially when you need a lil help. The music and the lil “mini therapy’s “ to help you understand why you feeling the way you feels helps. I love it!

I love everything about it. The creators are absolute life savers <3

i'm a student with anxiety, depression, and my parents are emotionally manipulative. i'm not sure if they do it on purpose, but i'm often gaslighted, and i gaslight myself too. being helps reassure me that my feelings are valid, and i get a lot of comfort just from reading "so much love for you, ____"

thanks for making this :)

being is awesome. as someone with many disorders and even more mental health apps, i genuinely feel better after using it. thank you so much to the developers and team <3

being allows you to plumb those hidden things that make you feel the way you do and gives you practical tools on how to move past them. The creators of the therapies and the mental health friends are loving, kind and know how to help you uncover the True You. Work honestly at it and watch yourself blossom!

This is truly the best mental health app!

I am amazed! Literally crying tears of joy that this app, without prompting, opened and suggested a end of the day meditation. I don’t know how my phone knew that I was struggling tonight but this app did know and it feels so good to have done that exercise!! Thank you to the creators, team, everyone involved with the creation of this service! I cannot express my gratitude enough!

There are so many things I like about this app. I love how easy it is to customise your mental health concerns in forms of discomforts rather than using an actual scientific term for it all. It gives the feeling of a more personalised approach to therapy rather than just a generic solution. I love how warm and easy on the eyes the UI and colours are in being , and I love the little animations that pop up. The mini therapies have helped me a lot in the last few months dealing with homesickness, extreme anxiety and discomfort and loneliness. Thank you, this app, you let me just be :)
This is a great concept and a great app. I’ve recommended it to a couple of friends already.

I never expected to find so many topics, how they explain what your dealing with different issues, and they have so many ways of showing you how you can achieve suckers over your fears. I am really using the journaling app., and I love that you learn better ways to use that information and it’s easy to understand and utilize.
this app is definitely going to be a game changer!!
Everyday being. will send notifications asking about yourself and how you are. It will not disappoint! It was well thought out, definitely not what you think and your in for a real awakening if you don’t want to change then try a different another app.
They care they will be right with you, and just click the need a friend button and someone will let you know long till they will reach out. Literally a button away and you have a caring person who will help you navigate your journey through its lows and celebrate your victories
. Thank you so much this app team for this amazing app. I am actually really loving it, and understand everything.
