Need help with Bene? Email hello@trybene.com and we'll get back to you within 1–2 working days. Including your app version (Profile → bottom of the screen) and a screenshot speeds things up. You'll find step-by-step guides for setting up the app, and answers to common questions below.
Guides and how-tos
New to Bene, or want to go deeper? Our guides walk through getting started, logging food quickly, and getting the most from your AI coach. We're adding more as we approach launch.
Your data and account
- Is my data backed up? Yes. Everything you log is synced to your account. If you get a new phone or reinstall the app, sign in with the same account and your data restores automatically.
- How do I delete my account? Profile → Delete account. This permanently removes your cloud data, your sign-in record, and the data on your device. It cannot be undone.
- Signing out: signing out removes your data from the device (it stays safely in your account). Note that Bene will ask you to finish or discard an unsaved workout first.
- Privacy: what we collect and where it goes is written to be read — see the Privacy Policy.
Subscription and free trial
- Managing or cancelling: subscriptions are billed through Apple. Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or billing period ends to avoid the next charge. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Restore purchases:if your subscription isn't recognised on a new device, use the Restore Purchases button on the paywall (make sure you're signed into the same Apple Account).
- Refunds are handled by Apple: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Using the app
- Apple Health:connect it in Profile → Connected sources. Bene reads completed workouts (from your watch or other apps) and shows them in your Log; strength workouts you logged manually are enriched with your watch's heart-rate and energy data instead of being duplicated. If nothing appears, check iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Bene.
- Meal scan:results are estimates from a single photo — that's why Bene always shows you an editable review before anything is logged. Adjust portions before saving; the barcode scanner or search are more precise when you have the package.
- Coach:the coach answers based on what you've logged — the more consistent your logging, the more useful it gets. It requires an internet connection, and it's guidance, not medical advice.
- Units: switch between kg and lbs in Profile → Preferences. Existing entries convert instantly for display.
Troubleshooting
- Something didn't sync? Check your connection, then force-quit and reopen the app. Your local logs are never lost by a failed sync — Bene saves on-device first.
- Coach or meal scan unavailable? Both need an internet connection. If the problem persists on a good connection, email us — including the approximate time it happened helps us find it in the logs.
