BeReal Rating. BeReal is the perfect thing to see what your friends are doing! BeReal makes you and you’re friends and family connect more ! BeReal sends you a notification everyday! That notification means it’s the time of the day you take a photo and it’s not always the same time so then u can see what people are doing at different times !

You can even react to your friends BeReal by simply take a photo on which emoji u want for example if there BeReal is funny u can react with the funny reaction of a picture of you! You can see how other people have reacted to you’re friends BeReal ! I have found BeReal such a fun thing to look up to do everyday! And if you post your BeReal right when you get your notification you can post two more one more today or two tomorrow or one tomorrow one today you can only post your extra one before your next one goes off!! There’s a year recap we’re all the photos you’ve took make one year recap in one vid ! Thank you for reading this this is why I love BeReal and think it’s underrated I give it a five stars I definitely recommend!!! go ahead download now and it’s free and there’s way more about it but this review is already long so yeah byeee tysm for reading again

A Fun Way To Share With Friends. I love BeReal it’s and app i find myself using often but not to and addictive point like many social medias. BeReal is a great way to share real time. Photos with friends no editing no filters. It’s a fun way to look back at memories and things you’ve done with family and friends such as going to theme parks or movies or even just an event with people, sitting in your room or in the car you can see what your friends are doing and share what you’re doing. It’s a great way to meet people that you may not know from schools or athletics and it’s truly a great way to connect in general I am not a user of social media, but I do have BeReal because I honestly feel real using it. I feel like I do not need to fit into a box of what is pretty and what is not because everyone is just smiling ready for the picture or the notification to pop up, it is a great app for teens in tweens alike and I recommend it to many close friends to enjoy alongside me.

Great idea, lot of bugs. I really enjoy the whole premise of “being real” and simply showing what you’re doing in the exact moment when the timer goes off. However, there’s quite a few bugs that make this difficult if not impossible. On multiple occasions, I will take my BeReal (on time!) and it shows that it’s posted after the timer is done counting down, but if I close out of the app and go back to it a couple hours later or the next day (before the next timer goes off), my post is gone as if i never even posted - so now i have several blank spots in my memories even though i absolutely posted on that day. The app also has the habit of not wanting to load from time to time. I’ll click the notification to post and either the app itself just won’t load in, or it will show me my friends have posted and to click to post my BeReal, no matter how many times i close and reopen the app. I really do enjoy the app and it’s premise, but these are some debilitating bugs that almost make it pointless to use sometimes.

It’s awesome but…. I really like this idea for the app the 2 minute timer, the late post, the front and back camera pictures but only 3 problems. 1 is I want them to add a way to post more than just once or twice a day because I got this app to see what people were up to not just to see what they were doing like 6 hours ago. Second thing is the time between the cameras taking a picture. It’s 3 seconds but it would be easier if it was 5 and on the screen it showed a count down instead of saying “smile 3,2,1” it’s not very accurate and making that simple change from that to it actually counting down on your screen would help out a lot. 3rd thing is they need to add a area type of thing like you can pick where you want your discovery feed to be located. Usually it’s all random and you’ll see a post from Italy and then one from Russia like if I’m in texas United States I want to connect with people in my area so maybe that’s a feature they could add but it might be difficult because someone people don’t have their location on in their posts which is fine it’s your privacy do what ever you want with it but I feel like the people who have there location on might want to see other people in their location. Other than those 3 things the app is super fun and nice to just scroll around on.

Amazing!. BeReal is so fun and entertaining! I love BeReal because you can’t use filters or backdrops! It’s you and your friends in the moment. I love that all of the RealMojis are nice and not hurtful and that you can leave fun comments for them to see. The fact that you get to choose who you can be friends with is so nice. It allows you to keep your account between friends that you know personally. You can choose to share it for everyone on discovery or just with your friends. No one even needs to know your location. You get to pick what your profile says and what picture you want to use. You can change the picture at anytime. Now with the new update you can post up to 3 BeReals if your on time. This encourages everyone to post on time and makes it so much more fun. You can react to all 3 BeReals with different RealMojis depending on how you feel about them. It is so much fun. And the safest type of social media platform. I would recommend BeReal to all of my friends and family! LOVE BEREAL AND THE WORK PUT INTO IT!! ❤️

Love it, except for one thing….. This app is truly amazing! The idea of a filterless, REAL social media is genius. I have also really enjoyed all of the updates! You can really get a look into your friends lives by knowing what they’re listening to, seeing front and back cameras, and viewing the extra two Bereals. I also really love looking back and seeing Bereals from past days. It’s so fun to remember each day. I basically have short term memory, haha, so it helps me remember outfits and such. Though, there IS one thing that needs to be fixed. When I go into Memories and click on the days that I took multiple Bereals, I am only able to see the first one I took. I am greatly disappointed by this because my first Bereals are usually the ones I like the least. They were taken on time and aren’t as fun. The app should be updated so that when you click on a day that you took multiple Bereals, you are able to swipe up or down to see the other two. That way, we are still able to view ALL of the Bereals we take. Thank you for your time! I highly recommend this app for all ages!

Novel, needs work but has great potential. I love the idea of this app. Social media is a joke nowadays because we curate our posts to appeal to certain aesthetics and create a false reality of what our lives actually look like. Apps like instagram feed into mental illness, making you think you’re not doing enough because other people appear to be living these lavish lifestyles when most of us are spending most of our time just chilling and wearing comfy outfits and being “boring”. This app is great because it rebels against this guise of perfect lifestyles and aesthetics. You get a notification at any random point during the day and you’re encouraged to post within two minutes of receiving the notification. It gives a more realistic perspective of what your friends and acquaintances are actually doing on a daily basis and it feels so much more real. I love the idea of this app. This is where I want to see social media go from here. There are quite a few bugs that i’ve noticed which is normal for a newer social media app, but it’s nothing that im not willing to work around and wait for new updates to improve the smoothness of the platform, to work out the kinks. Once the app gets a little better in this sense, I would be more than willing to give 5 stars. Other than that, y’all are fighting the just fight. Keep it up.

Not a fan of the direction they're going in. I really like this app, but some of the recent updates have made me a bit nervous about the direction they're going with the app. For example, when adding friends, the message you'd see used to be something along the lines of "BeReal is for real friends only, don't let just anyone follow you". Now, it encourages you to add a lot of people, saying "it's a bit empty in here, add more friends now!" or something along those lines. I liked the fact that you were encouraged to not add too many people, as it emphasized the point of "being real". Similarly, the new "x just posted" notification now emphasizes the fact that you're missing out if you don't open the app, which I really don't appreciate. I understand the sense of urgency that comes with a two minute timer for posting, but I don't love the idea that you need to check the app this instant or you're missing out. I'm sure this wasn't the intention, but these kinds of updates make the app less unique to me and also make me more likely to stop using it entirely as I don't really like social media in the first place. I do enjoy the app, but I'm worried about more updates making my experience worse in a similar way.

Awesome. This is really one of the only social media apps I actually have, but it is great. First off, the sole idea the app is built around is amazing. Allowing people to see the real you and vice versa is just the best part about the app in my opinion. Then there’s the way the app carries out this mission, which is just incredible. There’s the extra posts you get if you post on time, and you only get one repost if you post late and delete your previous post, but that’s just to name a few. There is one problem though that I’ve been noticing that has been happening almost every time I try to post, both on time and late. Sometimes I’ll click the send button, but it doesn’t go through, so I end up posting late when I don’t realize what happened. However, when I do notice what happened, I have to post another time for it to go through, but then it just sends both posts I made. Besides this small bug the app is amazing. Five stars for sure.

No complaints!. What’s nice about BeReal is that only your friends that you add/accept requests for can see your BeReal for that day. The notification comes randomly, and you are able to post late. (it marks how late you are, don’t worry about being late it’s not a big deal) The only picture of you that strangers could see is your profile picture. BeReal is awesome, you can’t put filters on or import any photos! Just watch who your friends are, and only accept people that you know. I have not seen any inappropriate BeReals or Realmojis so far. I generally only accept people that I am friends with. It will not notify someone if you delete their follow request. BeReal is not a bad social media app, you get to see people you know “being real” and not just the filtered, airbrushed, and hand selected instagram posts that they spent weeks planning. You get to see them, and what they do normally in their everyday life, not just the highlights that are on instagram. I hope this helped someone that is on the fence with BeReal. Just download it! 😊

BeReal. I like this app because it allows me to see the pictures of others in that moment. Here are some criticism 1. Be Real uses both cameras. I hate this because I have less control of what I capture. There needs to be a setting where 1 camera is used at one time. 2. BeReal wants you to take a picture within 2 minutes. Most teens uses this app so therefore they may have to break school rules and use this app during class. This may go off while driving and it would be very unsafe. I wish there were settings for things such as a toggle foe driving mode, Busy, or even bed time schedules. Some people have time limits on their IPhones meaning they may not be able to access apps after a certain time. This is not good if the notification goes off. I dislike the fact that if you miss the notification you can only take one BeReal. This is unfair because if a person is heavily tasked that means they are not allowed to take more than one bereal. They should change it to take 3 bereals when posting on time and 2 bereals when late due to life. Or they should have a custom time when the notification goes off every day. They can do this at a not busy time of day.

Cool App. I like a lot about this app, unlike most social media platforms this one hardly pushes consumerism, news (real & fake), or ads in your face. It’s simple, not demanding you be on it at all hours of the day (tiktok). While many social networks give people the opportunity to present a reality that isn't their actual life, this counters that. Other than being late & choosing when to post, there isn't a whole lot of faking you can do. If you're listening to a song it wont let you change it after you captured ur bereal, showing everyone you were really playing that, at that time. I think the feature where you get bonus bereals for posting on time is great bc it encourages people to post on time and wait less for that perfect pic & rewards you with bonus ones. At this time the bonus bereal feature is still being worked on but the idea overall is really sweet. All around I've had a great experience on this app.

Great concept, needs work. absolutely in love with this concept! it takes the pressure and toxicity off of social media and adds a fun surprise element for when it’s time to post! i love looking through my friends posts, not feeling pressured to look good or edit anything, and not being embarrassed about how many friends i have, likes i get, etc. amazing concept and the app is good how it is…if it would work properly:/ the app is CONSTANTLY glitching!! almost every single time i get the “time to bereal” notification, i click on it and the app opens but doesn’t prompt me to take my picture, it goes to the screen that shows mine and my friends posts from yesterday but doesn’t update to even take the picture in time. i open and close to app multiple times but it still takes forever. by the time it does update and open the camera, the timer is already out and then it takes forever to load and post it so i’m just sitting there waiting for it to go through. again, i love the idea of the app, which is why i put up with the glitches and still use it but it is really annoying and makes for a frustrating experience, considering i rarely get to post on time because i have to close and open the app 15 times for it to even work.

lots of bugs, frustrating. I love this app, don't get me wrong. It's fun, engaging, and different then other social media which I really enjoy. However there is SO MANY bugs. My BeReal always takes forever to post- which I get could partially be bad wifi/service on my part, but plenty of others that I am friends with have had this issue as well. However I do not have a problem with this so much as I do my BeReal deleting. Today my BeReal posted, didn't take much time to post and I was 2 mins late. I would have been on time a common bug occurred in which I could not see on my screen that it was time to BeReal and therefore I could not post a BeReal. It worked eventually, though, and posted. When I went to check my BeReal later today it was still there but I noticed that it wasn't showing up in my Memories. I left the app open thinking it would catch up but instead my BeReal completely disappeared. When I tried to post a new one it would not work, even after refreshing many times, powering off my phone, and deleting+reinstalling the app. I don't understand how this happened and why I can suddenly not use the app. I'm also disappointed that the BeReal deleted because it was a very cute picture. I'm just hoping this issue will resolve itself somehow.

I love the app, but there are some complaints. overall, i love bereal. it’s such a fun way to keep up with friends without the toxicity of other social media apps. however, i feel like lately there have been some things that have made the app slightly more difficult to use. nothing major, just enough to wear it’s a little bit annoying. there have been several times where i don’t get a notification saying that it’s ⚠️time to bereal⚠️, making me late to post when i could’ve been on time. another thing is that the ability to tag people in the caption of my posts has been taken away, even though some of my friends still have that feature. also, there are times where i am listening to music when bereal goes off, but it doesn’t show that i’m listening to anything on my bereal. that’s pretty much all. like i said, there’s nothing major, just enough that it gets to be annoying. but again, i do love this app and think it’s such a fun way to connect with friends and family! i definitely recommend!

Buggy for how simple it is. TLDR: buggy in annoying ways. deletes your pictures and crashes fairly regularly. I love the idea, but there are some serious issues with this app. When I first created my account, it took me a week or two to be able to do so due to errors when logging in or creating accounts (support could not be contacted bc you need an account to contact support). I’ve had it for a few months now, posting consistently, and it semi regularly freezes up or crashes entirely. Sometimes the camera screen won’t load fast enough and I’ll miss the two minutes and be late, even though I’ve had it open the whole time trying to take it. Sometimes it will take the photo, show that it has been successfully uploaded, and then when I reopen the app an hour later it’s gone. And I’m prompted to take a late bereal. It also takes a really long time to upload the pictures, significantly longer than posting to other social media stories. So you have to have your phone open that whole time hoping that it uploads your picture (if you leave the app it may or may not delete the bereal you took if it was still uploading). Especially with the double real feature clearly trying to reward posting on time, you need to fix these bugs if you want people to be invested in posting.

Very good!. i really love this app. it’s non toxic and doesn’t push unrealistic standards onto people. i like how it’s not “followers”, but instead it’s friends. i also like how not anyone can just add you and they can see your stuff, but you can’t see anyone’s posts unless your added which is amazing to me. i have one idea though; posting on your “story”. it’ll of course be the usual BeReal picture layout, but you can post any time of day, and it could re-set after when your regular BeReal resets! i think it would be a fun way to post your everyday life to your friends when you want to. and maybe there could even be a limit of how many pictures you can post on your story as well (i personally think around 5 would be a good amount if you were to put a limit on how many you can post.) it’s just an idea i have in mind and i think it would be a great addition to the app! thank you for reading, please consider it!!

Love it!! But a few bugs. Over the last couple years bereal has become hugely popular. Me and my friends absolutely love it and look forward to bereal time every day. It really makes you feel connected to people on a “real” and more comfortable level. I love that there’s options to add what music you’re currently listening to, and 2 extra bereals if you post on time. BUT I have noticed a few bugs; sometimes the music will not connect and just not post with is a bummer, sometimes if I post on time my BeReal will delete itself if I close out of the app too soon and make me take a late one. I really love the simplicity of the app, I won’t be stuck scrolling for hours. Just post, see what everyone’s up to, and stay off of it until tomorrow! However, with recent updates of adding more and more features to the app like bereal groups and now possible creators being added, I’m worried it’s gonna lose what’s it’s known for…which is not being like other apps. It’s slowly becoming more like “social media”, instead of a secluded app for posting with close friends. I really hope they don’t lose a huge crowd of people after all these updates. The app is starting to feel more crowded and confusing, which is nothing like the bereal I grew to love. Overall amazing app, but I hope they keep it real! 😉

Not like other social media. I really enjoy that BeReal keeps the fun part of social media and minimizes the toxic part. The only constructive criticisms I have: (1) my app frequently glitches and will say I have a phantom notification when there are no new notifications for me to see. Because BeReal doesn’t have a page where you can see a list of your notifications in the app, I have to go through every single photo on my feed to make sure I’ve seen everything, and then I have to go to Settings and temporarily disable Notifications for the app in order to get the one phantom notification to go away. So here I’m recommending that it would be great to fix this glitch, and to create a page on the app that lists your notifications in one centralized place so you can easily see what’s happened since you were last on the app. (2) I do not feel like it’s necessary to get a notification every time a friend posts late. It’s fun to aim for the same 2 minute window of posting, but as an adult, it’s unrealistic, and it’s annoying to be notified every time someone posts late. The only push notification I actually want is just when the BeReal goes live.

Neat.. I like how it shows how many times you take a picture and if you post late. The app is a pretty cool indicator of your life as your know it. Be feminine. Be REAL. Lol…have I taken 4 retakes of my picture to get the best angle? Yes. But no filters and no tagging. Love it. You get to see a recap at the end of each year and see what has been going on in your life in that moment. And you don’t have to take a picture of yourself. I don’t take the photo of me in it every time but most times I’m in it. I take a picture of myself because I like to see any fluctuations in my weight that are viske but that’s a whole separate issue. You can choose private. Or have more fun and expand your horizons and let it be open global. Sometimes meeting cool people from around the world can help distract from the real world lol okay I’m over this. Good app. There are a couple things that I would change but I am honestly way too tired to even start typing them.

Love this app but who decides when it’s time to BeReal. I love this app for all the same reasons everyone else, it’s unique, gives you a chance to be authentic, and if you and your friends have a good sense of humor it’s very fun. My question is, what dictates when the 2 min timer starts? When I first installed the app, it was around 10am for a few days consecutively which was ok but not ideal since most people are doing the same thing around the same time each day and during the week that’s usually just working. After those few days the time seemed to be more sporadic but the latest was probably around 5pm. Now today, it’s almost 10:30pm and I still haven’t gotten the notification to share. This isn’t even really a complaint because I think if it was the same time every day, it would be too predictable and easy to kind of curate a post rather than an authentic photo, i’m just curious what’s going on or if there’s any type of pattern to it. And of course I just received the notification rn which I knew would happen

This app is great! I really enjoy it!!. I really enjoy this app. It’s a fun way for me and my friends to connect and “be real” in a social media app. I’m not really into all of the other socials but I do really like this one. If I could change one thing about this new update with the multiple posts if you post on time, I would add being able to see those multiple posts in your memories. I really like being able to look back on my posts but if I could see the extra two posts that I did and not just my first one that would be great. Because I really like some of the ones I’ve posted and want to go back and see them but the days that I’ve posted multiple just have a white boarder around them but I can’t see what else I posted. If the people in charge of this app and the updates and whatever see this. It would be absolutely amazing if this was made in addition to this great app. Thank y’all so much!! Edit: love the update and how you took into consideration what I said previously. Again I love this app so much and how I can engage with friends. Seeing all the bereals I post in one day in my memories, I love that update. If I could make one more recommendation I would ask about saving the comments and reactions. I know I’ve had some fun conversations in the comments that I would love to go back and reread or see some of the hilarious faces people make in my reactions. I love this app and how it works, thank y’all so much.

Glitchy. I enjoy the concept of the app, but there needs to be a way to allow users to reattempt to upload their photos due to bad service. When I tried to post my photo tonight, it was taking much longer than it should have. After a minute or two, it said that I uploaded the image, but the app kept glitching out. I closed the app to reboot it, and my selfie for today was still there but no longer appeared in my memories. Even though I can see what I posted today on my “My Friends” feed, I am unable to see my friends’ posts and the discover page because the app doesn’t think I posted. Isn’t there a possibility to save that photo as a draft for that exact moment in the event the app glitches out so we can attempt to post it again? That would keep the spirit of the app within the moment, but it is not our fault if our internet screws us over. While I’m here, I would also like to ask if it would be possible to add a privacy feature where you can set your images to public while setting your location view to friends only. Thanks for reading.

BeReal used to be DIFFERENT. I used to love BeReal because it was DIFFERENT. It wasn’t Instagram, wasn’t Snapchat, and it didn’t try to keep you on the app longer than you wanted to be (I’m looking at you TikTok). I loved being able to connect with my close friends in a fun new way. With all the updates, I have slowly liked it less and less: posting 3 times a day (not as spontaneous anymore), groups (I only have people I want on there, I don’t need more options. Plus I can’t get the “create a group” notification to go away), the notification when friends posted used to just say ‘so and so posted’, but now it says things as if to say ‘You’re missing out! You better get back on this app!’ Drives me crazy. And on top of all of it they now have STREAKS?! Now it’s just Snapchat’s cousin. BeReal was DIFFERENT! I really miss the simplicity of a year ago. If I could have control in my settings whether or not I wanted to make a group or track streaks, (or any other future updates), that would be a game changer for me. That way I could get it out of my face and just go on with my day. I hate the constant reminders about them.

BeReal is awsome. BeReal is AWSOME, it’s a great app if you like to show your friends what your doing and who your with😊. I don’t really count BeReal as like a big social media app. I’m not allowed to have like Facebook and instagram or TikTok so this is a great start for middle schoolers or anyone. Your the one who decides what people you are gonna add (they are the people who can see your BeReal pics that you post) and if someone tries to add you, you have to accept their friend request before they can see anything. BeReal is really fun, I’m a middle schooler who just got it recently, my mom allowed it instead of instagram. It’s fun to challenge your friends to see who can get more reactions, the reactions are when one of your friends or family makes a face with an emoji then makes it so you can see it kind of like a comment, you can also comment too. The emojis you can use with your pic of your face reaction are 😍⚡️👍😃😂. And yea this is pretty mischievous BeReal, also you can do the same to your friends BeReals. Hope this helps you☺️

Instagram but without the Toxicity. Love the whole idea of bereal! It’s so refreshing to see my friends share their not so Instagram-able parts of their days and strip away all of the unrealistic expectations social media has put on us all. My only constructive criticisms are these: (1) the bugs. I’m sure they’re constantly being worked on and the app has gotten more reliable in the 4 months I’ve had it on my phone. But randomly, I’ll still find I have to restart my phone or delete and reinstall the app for it to work. Not as often as before, but still sometimes. (2) there should be a limit to how late you can post. I love that everyone shoots for that 2 minute window, but I understand that sometimes, you might not have your phone on you at that exact time or you’re really busy and can’t snap the photo. But really often, I’ve seen people (carrying over the mentality from Instagram) wait 7, 8, 9+ hours until they’re at a concert or until they’re with their friends to post - I’m guilty of it too, I’ll admit. I think there should be, in addition to the “on-time 2 minute” winodow, an “hour or two total” late window and after that, no one can post. This would also limit the absurd amount of notifications the app sends out. Just thoughts! Love it though!

Fun w/ flaws. I was initially attracted to BeReal due to its concept. I liked the idea of straying away from the typical inauthentic social media model of carefully curating every single post in order to create a persona one wishes to project. A rush goes through me every time I get the notification that it's BeReal time — you never know when it's coming and you're never prepared for it, but it certainly encourages you to live your best life because that moment could be any moment. It's also a fun way to look back and keep track of the day-to-day. That being said, the app does have its flaws — which is to be expected given its novelty. There have been multiple occasions where I'll be notified that it's time to take a picture but upon opening the app, I just see my feed. It's not much later that it's actually BeReal time and I don't get an accurate notification for when it occurs, forcing me to consistently reopen the app throughout the day so I don't post too late. Additionally, despite having strong wi-fi, there have been times where it has taken hours to upload my photo. Despite me taking the photo right on time, because it's uploaded later, it counts as an hours late upload. Lastly, sometimes it takes quite awhile for the camera to successfully load.

Bereal is amazing, but a few things!. I recently got BeReal about a month ago, and love it. However, there is a thing that I personally would change. I think it would be useful to have a set schedule. It would be optional to have this on, of course. But this is because I haven’t once hit a time when i get the notification, and take it on time. Whether im at practice, or studying and don’t want my phone to distract me, or sleeping. If, for example, I had schedules and the bereal came in when one was on. In this case, the bereal would appear when the schedule ended, and I would still get the two extra bereals (thats my main goal honestly) and instead of saying the bereal was late it would say “schedule on” or something like that. Also, more reasonable times for it to come?? It came out at midnight a few nights ago and ive heard stories of it coming out later in the night. If someone desperately wanted to take it then, they could use a extra, save it, or delete it and redo. Just suggestions!!

The new repost update. I absolutely love this app, but there is one annoying part. Whenever I’m posting my be real and I accidentally sent it when my friend looks bad I deleted it and retake it but you can only delete your Bereal once with it Allowing you to retake it again. That gets on my nerves because what if the second time you take it someone says you look bad or something is showing that you don’t want to show. but after I delete it twice, it will refuses to let me take it again. Maybe we could retake it three times, thanks! Edit: Okay so this is now in the future and it’s about the new repost update. I love the fact that you can repost others bereals and all that, but lately it hasn’t been working for me or my friends. It only lets you tag certain people and when we I search up my friends on the feature, they don’t pop up. I’ve tried closing out of the app, reloading, and all that. This also happened to my friend when she was trying to tag me, it said that I wasn’t her friend. I don’t know what happened but this only happened recently.

Awesome concept, needs work still. I looove the concept of this app. Something less stressful to post on than Instagram thats just for seeing your friends/family’s faces and lives on the daily. My biggest beef with this app is that it notifies you when people post comments, etc but then I have to search through every post to see where the comments are, and half the time its just someone I don’t know commenting on a friends post, but I can’t choose to not be notified for that specifically. Having a notification screen where I can see all my notifications and click through to the posts they’re on would make everything soooo much better. And please please please include comments with the memories/let us choose to let others see our memories!! Sometimes I post late and then the next day’s B Real is early and I miss what people posted/commented ☹️ I also think the Discovery part kinda ruins the point of this app. Wish I could at least choose to hide it. Thanks for keeping this simple though, I hope it stays that way - I really love it, its the best!!

Could be better. I enjoy the app, like most people have said, the spontaneity is a really unique way to avoid glorified posts or unrealistic updates. Similar to most people, it is frustrating working around the glitches and the bugs. It takes forever to upload pictures even when I hop on immediately. I’ve had my pictures change unexpectedly, I showed my friend a selfie of us, then when I uploaded, that picture was gone and was just a blurry photo of the floor, but I hadn’t clicked to retake. And I don’t like that if you aren’t sitting with the app open for the 5-10 minutes it takes to upload, you are said to have uploaded late. A final issue I have that is simply personal, I hate when it alerts super late at night. I’m a millennial in a grandmas body, and my geriatric self goes to bed around 8p so I’m always destined to miss out on it if it’s past my bedtime. Overall, I do enjoy the app. I enjoy sharing with my friends and seeing what they are up to. I think it has a lot of potential. I’ll patiently wait for the creators to iron out some kinks.

Great idea, okay execution. I love the idea of this app so much!! My friends recently had me download it, we’ve all gone our separate ways while attending college, so we’re always looking for fun ways to stay connected. I love getting to see the little snippets of their daily lives, since I don’t get to like I used to when we all lived in the same city. My biggest issue is the bugs. Half the time, I don’t get a notification that it’s time to post, or I get it and it will say “6 minutes ago” for when the notification showed up on my phone, even though it JUST showed up. I miss the window, no big deal, just post it late right? It takes FOREVER for the app to load up the photo option once you click the button, EVEN if I manage to get onto the app within the 2 minute time frame of posting. It’s a lot of clicking, closing out the app, reopening, clicking some more, and waiting and waiting. It’s frustrating to not post “on time” even when I’m opening the app as soon as I get the notification. My friends have shared they have similar issues, and while it’s not enough to make us stop using the app, it does make using it a little frustrating on most days. Fingers crossed more updates will be added soon, as I really do like the concept, just not how buggy it is.

Bugs are a huge problem. I really like BeReal and I enjoy using it to connect with my friends on a more authentic level - even when we’re states apart. That being said, I am frustrated over the bugs that the app has. At some points it makes it totally unusable. There are several that I run into on a daily basis. The first of which is phantom notifications for both the BeReal time and my friends posting or reacting to my post. I will log onto the app and nothing will be different than before even though it notifies me something changed. Additionally, when the BeReal notification goes off it takes from a full minute to ten minutes to even open the photo feature. So by that point I am being counted as late to post the BeReal even though I opened it as soon as I received the notification. And finally, even after that, the post takes an obscenely long time to upload. I’ve had it take up to several hours to upload one photo even when I had a setting wifi and cellular connection like I normally do. Ultimately, I hope the team is working to fix these issues because the app has a lot of potential, but it is just being lost to these unfortunate bugs.

Why I think BeReal is a good app. Hi! Now I have had BeReal for about a year now. And I am never expected anything bad on the app. I think the app is really good for making friends! My friend had BeReal and when I got it I only have 1 friend on BeReal and now I have 23! BeReal is also such a friendly app for kids that maybe want social media a little early 🙈. I would say probably if your kid does not go public there good! If you don’t know what “pubic” it’s just you can only be friends with people you know like friends and family, but you can also go public which lets you see strangers life and what they do and friend strangers AND strangers ca see your life. Now when saw go public I knew that was a BAD idea and I don’t really recommend that for kids under at least 13+ maybe even more. Overall I think BeReal is a great app to make friends on and get to know different people and what they do in there life! Again I would recommend the friends only because even tho you friends might not have BeReal you if you have 1 their friends can friend you and I have gotten to know such great people who I did not know were in this world! So ya overalll this is way I rate BeReal a 4 out of 5 and think it’s a good app for teens, and maybe older kids!

Work on upgrades. I get the motive of this app. I think it is very positive and eye opening but I think I can speak for a lot of people when it is annoying to have to post everyday and have a timer that gives you anxiety because you haven’t posted in that time frame, and kicks you out. Also if you don’t post a picture on that day then you can’t see others posts which I think many others can also agree is very overwhelming because you want to see others posts but don’t want to post yourself. And one more thing. When you post, you have to post your back and front camera. I see how that makes you know what’s on the inside and outside like for example, like when you post a picture to social media but you don’t see the reality of it but it is really annoying when you don’t look good on the front, or on the back camera. Yes and you can put your finger or something over the camera to cover the front or back camera but it looks tacky and I wish there was an option where you can either resize the little square icon with the front camera photo, or make it an option to have it or not. I hope you take these ideas into consideration. Thank you.

We Love Being Real!!!!. “It’s like an insight to everyone’s life that you didn’t know you needed.” Peyton and Char are BeReal advocates. We love BeReal. The way that that everyone is truly real is crazy in this fake society. On Instagram, all we see is edited models doing unimaginable things that we regular folk can only wish that we could do. With BeReal, however, everyone is encouraged to BE REAL!!!! Not only do we see people in their true form being lazy, going to concerts, hanging out with friends, or just petting their dog, we also get to see people we normally wouldn’t talk to react to our lives in a positive way. It’s exciting to see everyone’s reaction when the notification is sent out everyone - regardless of who they are - is ecstatic to just be real. The rawness of the app shows what a real human being is. The reality is, we’re not always at the beach looking snatched or at concerts with our friends. It’s reassuring to know you’re not the only person just sitting on your couch all day. NOT ONLY THAT, but there is nothing - I mean nothing - that you can pay for!!!! There is no pressure to get the best version of the app, just a bunch of people posting on the same app at the same time just being real.

Be real. Be real is amazing especially with the time when you can post on time and then if Your late you still get to post and also it says it is for 12 years and up when there is nothing to have to do with 12 year old behavior I’m 10 and all my other friends are 11 and we are all on bereal there is nothing that your kids can see that is bad because all you do is make friends THAT U KNOW and you will be all and you just take pics and share but other than that is is absolutely amazing! Oh and one more thing I love the new update because now if you lost on time then you get to take two other post whenever you like and one thing that u suggest is to make sure your kids don’t go on discovery mode that is at the top of your screen because those are random People that you won’t know and sometimes they can be all around the world so I would be careful and don’t friend request them because they can be creeps. And that’s what I think about BeReal hope this helps!

Great idea, but probably the buggiest app I’ve ever used. It’s a really fun concept and has a lot of potential, but there are problems essentially every time my wife or I try to use it. It has gotten to the point where I think we’re just giving up on it. Too many problems to mention, but mainly I’ll tap the notification and 1) there’s a one in four chance that it will bring up the camera interface or just open the app and you can wait and hope it opens the camera or you can force close it a few times until it works, or 2) it opens the camera and you take the picture to post it and… it will say 27 hours late or something and you’ll have to retake it or 3) you take a picture and then it does absolutely nothing or 4) it actually works. We have up to date 13 Pro and Pro max iPhones, but on different carriers, so I don’t think there is any excuse other than a poorly made app As far as features, requiring a shot from both cameras isn’t my favorite and I would like an option to have your history be visible to friends if you want to share. Also being able to choose camera focal lengths

No complaints, love the app!!. BeReal is technically like social media, but not really. If your having trouble deciding if you should let your kids have the app, I would say it’s completely fine to use. You should probably be 9+ to use, but it’s really just taking pictures of what your doing right in the moment. So, here’s how it works: you get a notification every day (looks like this: ⚠️ it’s time to BeReal ⚠️) meaning that you have to take a photo of what your doing then and post it to your friends and check out what they’re doing too. You have two minutes to post a photo but if you don’t do it in two minutes, it’s considered late, but don’t worry! You can still post and see what your friends are up to! There is an option where you can post “to the world” which basically means people other than your friends can see your post. I would recommend not letting your children post to the world. The picture you take is a two sided photo of you, and then what your doing. (Make sure you smile!) There is one other thing, and that’s reacting to your friends BeReals. It’s like an emoji, but a picture of you giving a thumbs up, or a heart, etc. I will say BeReal can get a little addicting. Where they’re on it reacting to all there friends 24/7. But other than that, it’s perfectly safe and kid friendly! No hate on the app, just letting the fellow parents out there know what there child wants and how you can provide a safe way of using the app!

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!. So first of all I think that bereal is a fun app to see what your friends are doing and I over all really liked bereal for the time I had it. Although one day bereal went off as normal and i took a bereal but it was not posting. I tried closing out of the app, turning off my phone, and deleting and taking a new bereal. After none of that worked i though maybe it was just being glitchy so i deleted the app. I then reinstalled it, but when i opened the app it would just load and load and load and then finally say that it couldn’t reach my account and to try again later. I tried multiple times everyday for a while. I also tried deleting and reinstalling. Nothing worked. So i gave up for a while. The. a few months later I opened the app and it worked!!! But then just a few weeks after it started working it broke AGAIN!! I was so mad. And then the same thing happened. It worked for a few weeks and then broke again so right now my bereal is currently not working. I also looked this up online and apparently this has happened to other people. Bereal please fix this🙏🙏🙏

Was 5 stars, now 4, but you can make it 5 again!. To the BeReal team: I’m a college student who joined your platform in high school. I’ve loved it and it’s been amazing, I don’t use traditional social media so it’s great to have a quick, non-addicting, way to keep tabs on my friends. One major problem, hence why I withdrew a star: the new celebs and brands feature. I don’t like celeb news/gossip and frankly have never understood why people feel the need to follow people like Swift and Bieber everywhere and track their whole lives, so I’m already not a fan. But the main W of BeReal imo is the lack of influencers and “popular cool people”; on this platform everyone has always been equal and has just as good a chance of being seen as everyone else. Now with this new feature, we’ll just have yet more beautiful girls and rich sporty guys making the “normal folk” feel inadequate. I can’t see this going any good, just harm. So please at least give people the ability to hide that “discover more” tab, in case they just don’t care to see celebs and brands in with their friends. Thanks!

Great app. BeReal is a a social media app. I will admit, I don’t usually use social media because of parents and everything, I actually do like this one. It’s not always dinging with notifications or wasting hours of your day. It’s just there. You can take a photo of wherever you are and then with out spending more than 10 minutes scrolling, you can see what all your friends and family are up to at some point in their day. It’s really simple too, no complicating privacy risk, no stalking really, unless you turn your location on. But even then you can choose to send publicly or just privately with your added friends. And you can’t just add someone they have to add you back so there’s no way they could see your photos if someone sent you a request. One more thing, I love that the reactions you can put on someone’s BeReal aren’t just little insignificant emojis, now their emojis, but you take your own picture of yourself making that face. It really is a good based app and I love taking my BeReal everyday.

Great app but buggy. I’ve been using BeReal for a little over a month and it has slowly become my favorite social media app. I love the concept, and everyone who I recommend give it a chance also ends up loving it. The only reason I could not give the app 5 stars is because it is still super buggy. I have a permanent notification symbol on the app, it has the little red circle with the number 1 and there is no way to make it go away. Sometimes it goes away by itself, but then comes back randomly. Also, when you are looking for new friends on the app, and you see people who might be in your contacts or have mutuel friends, there is a button to add them, or a button to ex them out. When you ex someone out from the list, they go away, but then randomly reappear? The bugs are not game-breaking but it’s quality of life things that should be fixed given that the app has went pretty main stream. This is the first review I’ve ever given so if anything, I hope this gives some feedback to the developers. Keep it ad-free!!! We love that there is no marketplace. It’s simple, it works, don’t break it PLEASE.

“not social media”. Overall really like the concept of this app. Social media is a huge waste of time but it’s hard these days to stay connected to friends and family across the country and across the world without it. The fact that this app (tries to) force users to post what they’re doing in the moment also does a great job at eliminating the fake reality of socials. When my brother was convincing me to get this app, he told me that it’s impossible to scroll forever like I did on IG - the reason I deleted it. And while that’s true on the “my friends” page, one can easily switch over to discover and use it just like any other time sucking social media site to scroll for hours. I know y’all are working on bugs but an additional feature would be a way to make the discover page optional, so that for those of us who don’t want it, it’s not even on the screen at all (ie there’s no separate discover tab at all) and doesn’t tempt us to waste time on the app. This could be done using a switch in a users profile. If you are really trying to be “not social media” please make the discover feature optional!

Won’t post. I get the notification and majority of the time it posts and it’s fine. But multiple times my BeReals will not post. I’ll take a picture that I like on time and while it’s loading I cannot save it then it will just disappear. It takes almost 2 minutes to post then I not only lose the picture but have to post late. Sometimes I will take it on time then when it finally posts it’s marked as late when it was on time. Today I’ve taken my BeReal and it is not posting and keeps saying failed to post click to re try then it will re try for a second and again not post and no one else’s posts are showing. I took the BeReal on time but now it is showing up as late because it has taken so long. Before that I tried to use the bonus bereals to see if they would post and it would just delete the original and still not post. The app would be 5 stars if it would actually work all the time. This seriously needs to be fixed before the app dies which it’s already dying anyway probably because of similar issues or boredom. Because it doesn’t matter when the notification comes because you can always post late and once you post that’s it unless you reacts to a few bereals or comment on others posts.

It’s so much fun, but still some lags. For about a year and a half my best friend would always have this photo to take. Once a day she would yell, “time for BeReal” and everyone would gather around pose and tag each other, I would be so confused but thought it was just new slang for taking a photo or whatever. (At the time I was really taking a break from social media platforms snap, insta, etc.) Later at a sleepover I bring up this one day about how I want to start taking more photos of us hanging out and post them, then she wips out all these pictures we’ve taken together on BeReal and recommends the app. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I downloaded the app and soon as she explained it to me. I set up an account and added some friends and well I don’t regret anything. It’s such a fun app to have, it has such a good community and I don’t really understand any hate towards it. The only thing is that sometimes I’ll post my BeReal and then it doesn’t work and I can redo it like it lags out if you have low connection. But overall you get to connect with new and old friends, you get to look at all sorts past memories/phots and just overall be real. 😌

Amazing app, bad performance.. I absolutely love this app! The little (non jaded) view that you can share and see into your friends lives is super fun, but at the same time, not nearly as addicting as normal social medias. Once you have posted for the day, you can look at your friends current post and maybe comment or react to them. After that there’s really no reason to stay on the app and end up killing your whole day. The only reason I am giving this 4 instead of 5 stars, is the fact that not only myself, but all of my friends as well have performance issues. You will get the prompt to post, click on the app and wait for the app to load, sometimes even as long as about 5 minutes. Then when you post, you are automatically late. 8 out of 10 times I experience performance issues. Luckily more lately, they have been that I can launch the app and snap my pic, but then it takes about 2-6mins for your post to actually upload. (The reason I said luckily is because as it is taking an eternity to upload, it has the timestamp of when you took it, so it won’t be automatically considered a late post).

Daily photo project. I enjoy BeReal. I’m in my 40s and did a daily selfie back in 2007. Since then I always fail at keeping track of taking and uploading photos. This app takes care of that with the daily notification and platform. I like that I can see what friends are doing at the same time as me. It’s easy to share the photo to other places. A couple of frustrations: I started in late September 2022 and have not missed a day. Yet two of my memories are missing: Oct 23rd and Nov 5th. There was another one that went missing (Oct 11) that eventually reappeared. I would love for the missing two to come back. The notification is very rarely in the morning. Perhaps due to America being one time zone on the app? I would love more morning notifications and less of the evening ones where I’m just sitting on the sofa with bad lighting! Perhaps the US could be split into two zones so that those of us in CST and EST could have earlier notifications. I was tempted to switch my time zone to Asia but then I wouldn’t be posting at the same time as friends.

Really good, but I have some ideas. There was a new feature added recently that allows you to post 2 additional BeReals IF you post the first one on time. However, I noticed that when we try to look back at our memories, we can only see the first BeReal that was posted. I think we should be able to see ALL the ones we posted that day, and I also think we should be able to see the captions we had with each BeReal when looking back at the memories. I also thought that, although the idea of rewarding people with 2 more BeReals for posting the first one on time is great, it could be reworked a bit. I think that if someone posts their BeReal ON TIME, they should still get 2 more to post. BUT ALSO, if they post it a little while after the BeReal time (maybe 10 minutes or so after) they should be allowed to post at least 1 additional BeReal. If they post more than 10 minutes after, they only get that first, 1 BeReal. I think this would be more fair because some people aren’t on their phone all the time and/or don’t have the opportunity to post the first BeReal right then and there, but still want an extra BeReal. Other than that, I love this app :) I hope the creators can take some of this into consideration.

Great App, a few glitches.. I love BeReal. It is a great way for people to be social without faking it and it is really a great app. My only issue is with posting and deleting BeReals. I usually post my BeReal on time, but it often freezes on the screen that shows the pictures i took for it. The timer is still counting down, and if I wait it says that I posted late. Because of that, I tap the button a few times to make sure that the app picked up when i pressed "post". When I do this, it posts the same BeReal twice or three times. It is annoying, even if you can delete your BeReal or just one BeReal you posted. When it posts the same BeReal more then once and I press delete on ONE of them, it deletes both of them. Then, I have to take another one and it's late. It would be fine, but now that you can post more if you are on time, it is bad. I love randomly taking a BeReal when i'm having fun and I do it all the time. This is happening a lot to me, i don't know if it is happening to anyone else, but it is taking away a lot of the purpose and reason i downloaded the app.

2 problems. 1. A-lot of the time i don’t like the way my be real looks so i press the x and retake it, but then i retake it and one of my cameras has gone completely black for no reason. So i then have to go out of the app, go back in, and try again (sometimes this doesn’t even work). Then by the time i get back in the app and try and retake it, my time is up and my be real is late (i don’t mind taking my be-real late but this is still pretty annoying) 2. I am Australian, so the best time zone for me to pick is East Asia. It still seems pretty close to AU time, but it gets pretty annoying that half the time i’m either asleep, or its really late when it goes off. Besides these things, BeReal is pretty cool, but i’m getting quite tired of these things and this is one of the only things i can think of to do that might start some change.

great but little problem. i love this app. very much. it didn’t do me any wrong until i posted a bereal and you know i go out of the app and i go back in like 15 minutes later and it says that thing like “post a late bereal” and i already did so i was confused but i posted another but my old bereal came up so then i thought oh just a little glitch so then i started scrolling to see my friends bereals but then it glitched back to “post a late bereal” and i couldn’t see anyones bereal. PLEASE FIX PLEAASEEE

Privacy. I only just realised that every time I post I have to change the privacy settings so people I havent added cant see my post. I thought turning friends of friends off in my settings would stop this but apparently you have to remember to change your settings every post so strangers cant see your post?????? Make it make sense, whats the point of adding your friends if random strangers can still see your bereal? Negates the whole point of privacy if you cant automatically turn off the friends of friends function for all future posts, nobodies going to remember every time and i dont want strangers seeing my stuff??? Ridiculous feature

What’s the point now that it’s unlimited?!?. My streak is about 465 days long but I no longer feel motivated to stick to it, why? Cause the things that made bereal addictive and fun to keep up feels now cheap and pointless especially now that the posts are unlimited. Having it at 3, that felt like a reward, Being on time should be rewarded. Clearly some incompetent junior or unqualified designer was put on to this job cause the sloppy user research and testing shows. No one asked for more posts, you should’ve asked why people kept up bereal to gain insights for opportunities.. no one did tests to find out what features people actually wanted, feels like you just did a stupid survey and now this app feels pointless. This easily could’ve become a photo journaling app, now it’s just a wannabe social media app with irrelevant ads and no one wanting to post anymore.

Poor support. UPDATE: Support contacted only after directly receiving a bad review. To make matters worse it has still been almost two weeks and 0 action has been done to solve this issue. They seem to not care and claim that the tool require to help my issue is not working. If this was the case, it’s unacceptable that it has taken this long to get it working. It comes off as they don’t want to help or support their users. Original: I am willing to change this review once I get the support I need. I have emailed across many days with no response. I am locked out of my account because I signed out and wanted to change my number across to a new one. I don’t have access to my old number anymore.

Missing BeReal.. I genuinely got the app so I could share what I was doing with friends but unfortunately when looking for old BeReal a I notice they were missing knowing that I had posted that day as I saved it to my camera roll just to find it missing when wanting to view it. The content wasn’t anything odd and was just set so only my friends could view it. I was pretty disappointed with it as I hadn’t had issues with it previously. I would just like this mistake to be fixed so when people view old memories they will be there and not think that they hadn’t posted that day. Thank you and I hope you took this into consideration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So fun. I love the idea of no filters or follows and just posting your reality. One thing I think needs improving is that too many people I know say the app is becoming ‘too repetitive’. So I reckon have some more activities that help bereal expand like maybe add short 5 second video options when taking BeReal or add ‘missions’ where it makes you have to take 7 bereal snapshots (1 per day for a week) in a row and then you get to unlock a feature like ‘customising the bereal app icon’ (for your own app & Home screen). I thjnk it would make the app 5x better and more exciting and I can get more friends to join back! 😁🙂

Loved it till I didn’t. So, I used to use this app religiously but then after a while it started freezing randomly. I thought it was my phone, but I’ve just upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro and it is even WORSE now!!! I can never post on time cause it says that I’m late and when I try to post, it just freezes and I’m unable to do anything!!! I have re-downloaded the app 10 times now and it still hasn’t fixed anything!!! They really need to fix this issue cause I seriously don’t want to keep repeating this cycle!!

Fun but slow. This is so good. I love this app. However, it takes a huge amount of time to post when a picture is taken. And, sometimes it doesn’t even let me post. Leaving me with an error all day until it posts 8hrs later with the first BeReal I tried. I know this has only happened once but i hope that it is being dealt with. On a more constructive side, I think we should be able to see who our friends are following and who follow them. I also think that we should be allowed to have our memories public if wanted. Some might like it private but I believe having the option would be amazing. Thank you for creating such an amazing application, A BeReal fan

It’s good but there is room to improve. There’s nothing thrilling about this app, but I guess that’s kind of the point. It breaks the barrier between real life and social media pretty well. Critiques: first, there’s no way to see who’s relied to your comment if you don’t see it on the notification, so if you accidentally get rid of the notification you might have trouble tracking down comments on other peoples BeReals. An activity tab would be useful. Second, the notification never goes off before 10am, but often goes off after 10 or 11pm, definitely favouring night owls over morning people. I’m assuming this isn’t just a coincidence as I have had the app for a couple of months now, and the notification has never gone off in the morning. (For reference I am in Australia so there’s probably something with time zones). Anyway, it would be possibly better if the motivation could go off at any time of day, including the morning. Third, it would be good to be able to see the time you posted your BeReals in your memories. Anyway, thanks for a unique social media experience, it’s pretty neat ✌️

good but needs improvement. BeReal is really good! i love the idea of it and it’s something i look forward to everyday. having a whole years worth of memories is something i love and being able to look back on them. something that i feel really needs to happen is being able to change the phone number you’re using for the account. i myself just recently updated my phone and changed my phone number and there’s no option to change it in app. id really hate to have to make a new account and lose all my memories. other than that i love it!

BeReal was great until they added private message feature. I will still use this all because I like being real and seeing what my friends are up to, and that’s what made this app unique. But in their recent update adding the private message feature, it now feels like any other social media app where you can DM friends. The good design of the one post a day (with the added bonus for on time posting which I like because it gets people posting more on time) now has this feature which can turn it into an app which you will spend more time on- like we need more time on social media! I don’t think people will use it all that much since Instagram and Snapchat still exist, although fb messenger is by far superior. Anyway, I love the concept of the app but not the new feature of DMs

Toxic expectations and a warning.. I don’t want to lie and say this app is bad, but I definitely would not recommend downloading it if you have bad body image or self-esteem. I do myself, and I’ve had trouble uploading the BeReal for the day, or even replying to others BeReal with the Realmojis. This is because the whole app is based around the idea of showing your face off to others - and if you don’t you aren’t able to view your friends BeReals which basically render the app as redundant. Though, since this app is so popular right now, it feels as if you’re missing out on something if you’re not on BeReal, so you’re faced with societal pressures to do this. But everyone’s trying to make their life look picture-perfect, so you start to feel bad when yours is just you in bed. For people who don’t like showing their face off on social media to a large audience at once, I wouldn’t recommend. At least with other social media applications like Snapchat, you’re able to personalise what you are sending to each individual person depending on what you’re comfortable with - and you don’t have you show your face if you don’t want to (unlike with BeReal). This app has affected my mental health and personal image in a negative way, and it feels toxic. I just wanted to write this warn people of how this app might not be for everyone. However, with certain tweaks to the app, this could be prevented (i.e. not needing to upload a BeReal to see others).

Love this!!. I love this app so much!!! I love all the features and that but I just have one wish. That’s to be able to post my BeReal to only me. The reason for this is some of my family members don’t want to be shown to my friends but I want them in my memories. Maybe you could only let people do a certain amount of only me posts per month so that people don’t just post to themselves to see other peoples and use the other features. Thanks though, this app is so cool and I love it!

Refreshing. I’m loving this social network. It’s not full of influencers and posers. I have only my close friends on it and it’s great to see a little unedited snippet of what they’re getting up to each day. So many of the other social platforms people post only the fun things but be real helps me remember that everyone has to work and isn’t always out doing amazing things. It helps me to feel connected to my friends and I love it

Recommend but…. I really like this app. It’s very fun and a really cool idea. I would like if there were more times zones (I know a lot of people have said this) but posting the same thing everyday is a bit boring or posting the next day is as well. Also I would like if there was an option to log in. I was logged out for reasons I am unaware of and was unable to log back in or create a new account as my email had already been used. Somehow I was randomly logged back in but I would still like a solution to this issue. Finally it would be cool if you could use photos already taken… I understand this may ruin the authenticity of the app however the notification didn’t come through so I decided to take a picture with my phone normally instead but have now seen the notification and I missed it. This is disappointing because I had some really fun photos from the right time. Since I prefer to use the app to look at my “memories” and see what I was doing on different dates I would like to show the pictures I took of what I was actually doing Again, great app. I highly recommend it is very fun.

Was the best app then….. I looooove this app it is amazing and I had no suggestions until something weird happened. So I posted my BeReal and then closed the app and went onto other apps. Then ten minutes later I go back into BeReal because some of my friends had posted and it says that I can’t look at their posts because I haven’t posted my own, which I had. So I checked and the picture I had posted was coming up in my memories. I checked on my friends phone and it said I had deleted my post for the day. I tried reposting a different BeReal but the same thing happened and I decided to just leave it. The next day I go to post my BeReal and the same thing happened, it posted then disappeared and won’t let me look at my friends posts. No matter how many times I posted the same thing happened. I have tried deleting and re-downloading the app multiple times and have restarted my phone multiple times as well. I looked online and it says that there is a common problem with the new update but I’m not sure if this is it or if my phone is just being stupid. I love this app and it was my number one until this happened so I would love if this could be fixed or if someone had some advice on how to fix it!!!!

Nice app :)). What I love about this app is that you don’t have to replace the other social media apps you already have. It’s just like a simple little extension in your day, and it’s fun! What I recommend for the developers I guess is that they have this ranking system between friends only (because I feel like if it’s made worldwide, it’ll be a little toxic) where they count the streaks of the people who are either on time (not being late in the window of 2 minutes) or the “most realest” (where the people with 0 retakes) or maybe both! I think it’ll be a great addition to making this app more enjoyable. However, love this! Great work to the guys who had this idea and to the many people who made this! :))

Disgusted. After you deleted your BeReal twice you can’t take one. I personally have not missed a day for 4 months. 4 MONTHS. My be reals got deleted twice because of the slow and trashy wifi I have where I am located. And because be real cannot fix there apps poor sending time. It is New Year’s Eve right now and I am devastated that a missed taking my be real on such a amazing time of year because of the faults in there app. I get it’s called be real and yes I do like to “BeReal” don’t come at for not being real because guess what. BEREAL IS THE REASON I QUOTE ON QUOTE WASNT BEING REAL. I will continue to use this app because I can but if this ever happens to me again I will not be a very happy person. Happy new years all except BeReal 🤩

The notification is intermittent. 3 weeks ago I would’ve rated 5 stars, because this app is so fun and I love it. However, my biggest gripe is that the 2 minute countdown notification no longer comes up every time. Some days I get it, the next I don’t and it’s not until someone else posts it late that I do get any kind of notification. I don’t know what has changed since I first downloaded BeReal, but the main feature that drew me to this app is no longer functioning like it should be. (And yes I’ve played around with my notification settings to troubleshoot this issue, to no avail) If this issue gets resolved I’ll update it to 5⭐️

Old memories not loading properly.. I have been using bereal close to a year now. When I go to my older memories in the app, most of the pictures have loaded but a few remain “unloaded”. This isnt the same as looking at a day one didnt post a bereal. It simply displays the grey card with no loaded image. Weird thing is, if its a day with multiple bereals posted, the other two bereals are shown but the first isnt. Secondly, my old memories no longer have the reactions/comments it used to. Part of why i liked this feature was being able to look back and remind myself of how my friends reacted to something one of us would post

5 Stars up until this glitch. I love bereal dont get me wrong - 5 stars all the way until today when I posted when the notification dropped. When i posted my bereal would not stop loading for over 10 mins although was appearing on my other mates phones. I was getting notifications of reactions however my friends page was not updating and staying on a black screen with a loading symbol. Ive reset my phone and deleted the app twice which then resulted in me having to retake my bereal which is odd as my account seems to had already posted my original. No change since the loading screen now, can view any of my mates posts or even see the discovery. A real bummer for me as bereal was becoming my go to app :/

Freezes, but when working is a good app.. I have had BeReal for over a year now, and its a wonderful app and idea. Only issue for me (and my friends) is that we are frequently having to delete and re-download the app every few months because it will sometimes freeze. Recently it has been when clicking on the notification to post a BeReal, it will take you to the app but then freeze the screen. This causes you to miss to 2 min timer, but then the only way to get the app to work again is to delete and download again?

Poorly built. One of the most unintuitive apps I’ve used. Regularly just doesn’t upload my post even with constant retrying, or just deletes my post all together, particularly annoying when I post it on time and don’t notice for a few hours. Support told me that saving both sides of a BeReal has not ever been possible despite it very much being possible in the last update and just being an obvious glitch (why lie?). I stopped using it a while ago and decided to try again, but clearly it’s no better. They’ve also added a bunch of other stupid little “social media” features and it’s annoying - stop, it’s ruining the core ethos of the app.

It was good until…. It was good until it started adding in all the advertisements, the app was great because it immersed everyone with each-others life and gave a sneak peak into someone else’s shoes. It gave people things to see and do and communicate, subconsciously making you go out to ‘touch grass’ and capture the perfect moment for be real In any case it’s a great app that died too early, if people brought it back it would be an amazing app, but simply people aren’t ’bothered anymore’

App doesn’t load when the notification goes off. To whom this may concern, I love using this app. However. There’s an issue where I open the app by clicking on the notification and it doesn’t load and allow me to take my bereal and to resolve this issue I have to delete the app and re-download it again. In doing so, it resolves itself but then the issue keeps coming back Other than this. It’s an amazing app to see what my friends are up to

Love this app, but. I pretty much only post on Bereal now since i just prefer to see what my mates are really doin yk no filter just real emotion ahah but one thing I’d absolutely love is to be able to post a be real whenever I want instead of having to wait for the next notification but I want to share what I’m doing right now, it’s a bit frustrating if it makes sense I’d love an update where you can also post at times other then the notification .

Been using for six months :)!. I started using this in November 2022. It’s now May 2023 and I’m still using it every day. It’s really fun! I love that the app has introduced Bonus BeReals; it adds a sense of urgency to post on time so I can post extra if I want to. I also love getting to see some of my friends more than once a day. There’s only two things that would improve my experience of the app. 1. Let us save the emoji reacts from our friends. My friends make really cute faces in the emoji reacts! I want to be able to go back and look at them. 2. Auto-save our Bonus BeReals to our Memories. At the moment I have to manually screenshot them to save them. Would be great if they could be saved to Memories like normal BeReals. It would also be great if, when saving posts from Memories, we could choose to save them as two separate photos. They get cut off with the other picture blocking the focus of the photo sometimes.

Great to see what friends are up to. Awesome app honestly. Just writing this review because of a few nitpicks. Primarily a comment chain system to make commenting more interactive as well as seeing comments in the preview. Furthermore reacting to comments. The comments just seem like an underdeveloped feature. Also being able to write your caption while the photo is still uploading seeing as the BeReals take forever to upload (not your fault I assume everyone trying to upload a photo at the exact same time can be difficult to manage). Overall seriously cool app

Good but needs optimising. This is a great concept but the execution is frustrating. I like that you never know when it’s time for the day’s BeReal, sometimes at a quite inconvenient moment, but the app is just agonisingly slow to launch and take a photo which is quite unforgivable in the circumstances. On top of this photos quite often don’t upload the first time (especially if you’ve already added a caption) and meanwhile the clock is ticking on your BeReal post deadline. Finally, it was cool being able to scroll through BeReals from around the world after you’d posted your own, a glimpse into the lives of others, but seems to have been taken away. Plus ‘RealBrands’ and ‘RealPeople’ don’t feel at all real and seem at odds with the whole concept.

Great app but it has an extremely problematic bug. I love the app, it’s a great take on a social media platform. It makes me feel connected to my friends and post are often a good conversation starter. However, for about a month now almost every time I open the app it freezes immediately making it completely unusable. I have not discovered a fix for it either, deleting and re-downloading the app doesn’t fix it and neither does restarting my phone, I just have to wait for it to start working again which usually takes days, only for the same issue to occur a few hours later. I would much appreciate if this issue was fixed.

Love the app but... I love bereal it’s such a great concept except for the fact that it has gone off past 9pm for the fourth night in a row. This defeats the purpose because most people are asleep and it’s not fun because everyone has to post a late the next day. You can’t expect everyone to stay up to 12pm each night it’s unrealistic. Also a recommendation is that when you search one of your friends up and click of their profile it comes up with their bereal for the day. But other than that everything is great!!

Amazing app WHEN it goes off during the day!. Hey be real crew, I would like to inform you that your app is really cool and has a really good idea behind it. But it’s really annoying how it goes off during the night multiple times a week during 8-11 pm. It’s not interesting and makes it kinda usless, I would advise you to make the pets tiers of the time it goes off more Lilly during the times 8:00am - 5:00pm as that’s usually the times when people are doing interesting and fun stuff which would be perfect FOR BE REAL. Whereas instead we are getting a lot of be reals at 10-11pm which is not good for the apps use if yk what I mean.

Used to run well now doesn’t. I’ve had BeReal. for a long time and it had never crashed, froze or deleted my photos however around august and September oh this year (2023) my BeReal. just freezes and I cannot scroll, post or click on anything I have deleted and reinstalled the app a number of times which is only a temporary fix, I had checked for updates before deleting the app. Please fix this soon, I am loosing patience and might not reinstall it if this continues…

app just gets worse. i've been a devoted user since april 2022, and i'm the one in the friendship group that screams BEREAL when it goes off. but as of late, the developers have repeatedly made bad decisions, and clearly no longer care about whether the app still achieves its original purpose. we don't want brands and influencers to follow. we don't wanna dm bereals to our friends. we don't wanna make group chats. we just want the same old app that lets you take pictures in 0.5, and bonus bereals if you post on time. that's it. i don't know why you bother to ask for reviews and comments on instagram if you don't even listen to them, and i don't know why you think more people will download the app with the new features either. the whole point of bereal was to take one candid photo a day for your friends to see, and be unlike any other social media platform. you guys have genuinely just become the thing you set out out to destroy. so stupid.

Timezones. It is a great app and I love it but if there could be one thing I would change it would be the Timezone we are in east Asia when we live in Australia so it always comes at night time and I never get to take my bereal with my friends in the day so I would really love a time zone for Australia as then i would be able to take my bereal on the day. It usually comes between 5-11pm and occasionally goes of a bit earlier like around mid day but that is pretty rare so I would love an Australian Timezone as it would make the app so much better

Great app but i have a suggestion. This app is a breath of fresh air. i really enjoy the concept and it keeps me and my long distance friends close. However since having the app my friends list has grown and suddenly the closeness that i felt has started to fade. would it be possible to have a close friends page and your normal page as well the discovery page? That way I can see and react to my close friends and have quick look and occasional react at the other pages? Thanks

Love this app and giving some suggestions. i absolutely love using this app and seeing what my friends are doing. i also love using the react emojis to the posts. just a suggestion i think it would be good to add a feature where we can like comments and also have comment chains instead of replying to a comment and making them line up. i think it would also be good to have a messaging feature. ofc the purpose of this app is just to temporarily see your friends posts and share your day with them but i think a messaging feature would be nice :). overall a very good app 👍👍😄😄

Bug fixes or bugs created?. Love the app but the new update seems to have created more problems than the ones I never noticed that it “fixed”. My friends and I no longer get notified to post and when we do it only lets u scroll to see maybe three posts at a time before closing off and saying we have to post to see other peoples posts but our original post is still active. Really frustrating and hopefully this is fixed soon cos otherwise it’s such a fun way to see what’s going on with friends you don’t otherwise have regular contact with.

Excellent. A good way to keep in touch with your friends and family who have be real . I definitely recommend it😎buuut if you lied to ur friends saying oh I’m in Hawaii I can’t see you today and you do your be real with someone else they will see it and be MAD! This has sort of happened to me . Aaand like every few seconds you check your phone constantly just to check If be real has gone off . But if you look messy that day and you post and everyone looks great you feel embarrassed. Also if all ur friends hang out one day without you and you do your be real and see them you might feel left out 😑😩😢which is sad but this stuff might not happen to you so I recommend it. HAPPY JUICE!

Great concept. I loved bereal when I first downloaded it, it was great to have little snippets of my life to look back on and it was easy and simple. However, I find that now the app glitches more than it works correctly. Often I get the notification to post and I’m unable to, with the app showing that I’m posting late on yesterday’s posts, or sometimes I don’t get the notification at all. I would love if the app was fixed for these bugs as it really is a great concept, and I loved using it while it was working correctly.

So good!! But a few glitches. I LOVE bereal! It’s so fun and I love all the new features that have been implemented in the past few months like the 2 extra BeReals when taking on time and the chat feature. However, I’ve noticed that it has started glitching quite a lot. I’ve tried everything, clearing the app, restarting the app and it always ends with me having to delete it for it to unfreeze. All in all considering this is my only complaint it’s not that bad but it does get quite annoying. 😊

Positive BeReal. Review. Thanks so much BeReal. For your amazing app, I love it lots. I love how you can take a photo of where you are and then of your face to show your emotions of where you are, instead of just taking one photo like it make more sense taking two but I mainly love how you can react to peoples BeReal. With the little emoji and a pic it’s great. And I don’t think I have anything negative to say about your app it’s great thanks for taking a moment to read this review. :)

GREAT APP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I think BeReal is a great app. I love the whole idea of aiming to post on time, all at the same time. I think this is a great way to see what people are up too. My only thing is the time. I could have my time zone set to my country, but sometimes the be reals go off at like 11 at night. And at 11:00 I’m not out anywhere so i don’t really have anything interesting to post. Other than that, overall it’s a great app and i definitely recommend downloading it and getting your friends on it too if they aren’t already. I rate this app 5 stars as the problem i have isn’t really anyones fault. I use this app all the time and i haven’t missed posting for over a month or two. Now stop reading this and download BeReal.

Still veryyyy buggy despite being out for 2 years+. Lately been having trouble with captions constantly deleting themselves even when I rewrite them. Tried to report the bug in the app but the ‘report a problem’ page just loads for a second and then times out and remains blank. I want to help you improve your app! Also the page for time zones has a typo and says ‘all your BeReal will be deleted’ missing the plural. Otherwise fun and great thanks

be real videos. this app is really well thought out i love the idea of making people “be real” rather than faking their life on social media to look cool, when in reality most people just sit in their bed. my parents love this app for me and my siblings to show us how social media can be fake a lot of the time. and it also is a great thing for friends as well, my friends and i at school are always taking photos with one another if it goes off at school. i think in the future you guys should add an option to not only take photos for your be reals but to also do videos! i think it would really captivate peoples lives more, especially if they’re at a concert or on a roller coaster, i think it would be a really cool update to see! it could be a 10 second or less video, working the same way a photo does with front at back camera and it would be a great feature!

Buggy uploading. The app is really good and I appreciate the meaning behind the app. My only problem with the app is a lot of the time when I get the notification, I can’t actually upload as it doesn’t even give me the option and it freezes on the uploads from the day before while also saying that I need to upload to view them. This then causes me to post after the two minutes and I miss out on the other functions of the app because I ‘didn’t upload on time’ even though the app was frozen no matter how many times I closed the app and tried again or even turn my phone completely off and on again. My only complaint with the app is I wish they never included a messaging function. It was the first app in a long time to NOT include a messaging function and I was over the moon. Now there is a way to message people and I could not be more disappointed. Could have been 5 stars…

I love BeReal. but. I find I have stopped using it because so many times I try to open the app and it: freezes or I try to take a snap when I receive the notification and it DOESNT WORK. This is fixed by updating the app. However the friction of needing to update the app when I just want to quickly take a photo of what I’m doing and spend thirty seconds looking through the photos my friends posted is too high, and I find myself ignoring the notification more and more I love how BeReal feels like it’s not trying to be addictive Update: today even after updating it doesn’t work. Is it because I’m using the iPhone X, an older model?

Cool before she was a sell-out. When bereal started it was such a great app with such a great concept. The lack of influencers and ads is what made it unique as a platform, but in recent times, I fear that bereal sold out! the addition of being able to follow influencers and have ads running in the feed has just pushed it into "any old social media" territory which is incredibly disappointing. I loved bereal for all the things that made it a unique and authentic social media experience and it's slowly being stripped away. bring back her original sense of self, no one likes a sell out

awesome app. I really love be real, but there are definitely a few things I would like to talk about on the more negative side of things. The app is not very great if you struggle with insecurities or don’t feel so positive about yourself. This is because that when you post you may look “terrible” and literally just sitting in bed, but your friends might post a gorgeous picture of them out at a fancy lunch or on a crazy holiday across the world, etc. That’s why I think it may be kind of toxic, but now I have a lot to say about how it’s good so let’s talk about that. He be real is so fun and it’s a very easy way to share with all your friends what you’re up too and I love the idea of the realmojis as well to react to your friends posts without having to comment or anything. I also think the app was such a cool idea!

Too many ads in recent versions. Wild amount of ads in the app now, too frustrating when you react and ads are shifted to be on your screen

Really. Why dose everyone rate this app so high. Honestly this app sucks I understand the idea behind it but in the pursuit of being real, you end up making something that is fake. The team behind had had some great advertising but unfortunately, this app isn’t for me and everything I said prior was my own opinion if people enjoy it good for them, but it’s not for me

App has become horrible. You guys ruined the interface of the app. Giving 5 bereals and doing all that nonsense

My app is glitching. The app won’t let me post a bereal:( even on time or late, the app opens and then is frozen and won’t let me tap on anything. I really don’t want to delete it and redownload and lose all of my memories.

Update. Take brands and celebrities off. We don’t want them.

Bulk View. With the recent update they removed the ability to look at multiple BeReals at once. Way too painful to go through them scrolling one by one. I want them to bring the feature back.

App’s been freezing lately. I love BeReal but lately it’s been freezing a lot. I open it to post a late BeReal but it just freezes and doesn’t go through. This is the second time I’ve had to re-install it for it to work

Can’t post a photo when I get the notification. I can’t post the photo when I get my notification. It only lets me post after a friend does. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app but to no avail. Am I missing something?

GLITCHY AF. It was great when it first started. No ads. Scrolled smooth. Then they started adding all these new features and I think they sold to a different company so now the app is riddled with the same 3 ads every second post and doesn’t scroll smoothly AT ALL. Only using it for the memories other than that, don’t waste your time on this buggy POS

Bring back BeReal!!!. This app used to be great and has a great base concept. However, since the new unneeded updates of celebrities, brands, and adds, this platform has sadly become like any other social media platform. The only reason I’m still on is because my REAL friends and I still use it the way it was originally intended- to connect with friends. All the so-called updates are just trash, 5 PHOTOS!!! Really!!? It was good with two. Then you took a quick pic and put it away, now it’s slowly eating up our time like any other platform, which is what we’re trying to avoid! Bring back grid mode!! It was way more convenient to see your friends BeReal when you could just pull down to see the grid, but now you need to scroll forever and past all the ads to find one! (I figure that’s why they did that…) Over all, good app premise, but is going downhill fast if someone doesn’t actually accept feedback and fix things.

Add. Was a fantastic app before there was a thousand ads that play over your music

so bad. gave me cancer

okay…?. the app was great and fun until recently. now every time i get tap on a notif it takes me to the app but it freezes on the homescreen telling me to post a late bereal, but i can’t do anything but keep refreshing and hope it works. by the time it does work i’ve missed my chance to post my bereal on time. very frustrating and it’s making me want to just delete the app

My BeReal. The BeReal app is the best app that has ever come on the App Store, it’s made my life so good. In fact, it changed my life. Before I got BeReal, I was a lonely ingenuous nerd. I had this huge crush on someone in my school. His name is Trent Jackson and he is so hot. I thought he would never like someone like me. But because of BeReal he did, he saw what a quirky girl I was and fell forme. He tells me everyday that I’m not like the other girls and we kiss every day, and maybe do even more ;). I think he’s my soulmate. He has beautiful golden brown eyes, I love him. This is a conversation we had before we started dating. “Hey my name, i-i saw your BeReal, I didn’t know you liked football” “Ummm… ya.. I know it’s weird… but me and m-my dad watch it together 🥺” “No it’s cool, I’ve never met a girl in to stuff like that… you really aren’t like other girls.” He lets out a hearty laugh. I think i could fell my… you know what getting wet and hot. The way he speaks makes me totally blush. We started to react to each other every day and our crushes grow deeper. I started to be more confident in myself. And he started not to care about what his “popular friends” started to think. But there was one hook, his dump stupid blonde bimbo sluty girlfriend. Eyeroll. She started to get mad at him for reacting to me. In more then one way. One day she got she jealous that she pushed me into a locker and called my farts stinky. I was so embarrassed. I had had enough. I started singing fight song. He was so proud of me he broke up with her and kissed me so hard <3. The rest is history, his dumb ex was laughed out of the school his ex friends following. And Trent and I are happy. The whole school loves me know <3.

CANT CREATE ACCOUNT WITHOUT PHONE NUMBER. App looks so good but I can’t create an account without a phone number- which I don’t have. Pls make an update so I can sign up with an email. This sucks..

Obvious data collection scam.. This app has become popular among Gen-Z, some friends from school got it which convinced me to get it, but as always I was skeptical about this new trending app which seemed to pop up out of nowhere. As someone who has dabbled in hacking and cyber security it became apperent quickly that this app is simply a data miner in disguise. For example, if you cover up your face it will give you these little notices like “Your friends want to see your face”, and “where are you?”, basically a way of saying we need to see your face so we can collect data from it somehow, weather that is to train some kind of neural network idk bit it seems very sketchy to me. And finally for those of us who want to keep our privacy, when you go to delete your account it asks you questions that you entered when you first made the account, so if you came up with fake answers on the fly, you likley wont remember them and BeReal gives you no way to backtrack and get the information you entered in turn making it virtually impossible to delete your account if you enter fake personal information. It was only today that I finally had enough and tried to delete it. For your own sake please do not download this app, there is nothing on this app worth your privacy and security. I hope I have done a few of you a service by leaving this review. TLDR: Do not download, this app is likley used to mine personal data.

New updated. Remove celebrities and brands. Defeats the whole point. Give and option to turn of brand recommendations. Bring back 0.5 lens

Signing in. You guys should have a thing so you can sign in without a phone number I really want this app but I can’t use it without a phone number

Updates getting worse and worse. First they made the feed show all posts separately rather than grouping by poster. Now the grid view is removed, forcing you to manually scroll through the entire feed. Of course there's an ad every 3 posts too. And no, no amount of ads is going to make me download Monopoly GO.

Terrible Update. The latest update of BeReal is god awful. First of all, I’m so disappointed with the ads and the quality of the ads. Second of all, any time someone posts 2 bereals, they show up differently and you can no longer scroll to view them. You also can’t see an overview of your friends bereals in the grid anymore. I’m very disappointed with the quality of this app and I hope it gets fixed, but until then I won’t be using BeReal and neither will any of my friends

The latest update created a bunch of bugs. The latest update a couple weeks ago ruined this app. Almost every time I get the notification, I open the app and it’s frozen on the Home Screen with blurred images. I can’t move or click anything. I need to delete and reinstall the app until it happens again a few days later.

What happened…. BeReal was lovely at first but all of the best parts are changing. Please put it back to normal. We don’t need to be real more than 3 times in a day, and sometimes we want to search for people. This app used to be a cute little five minutes of my day but now in order to look at what I want to see I have to spend fifteen minutes scrolling. #BBOB

Evolving backwards. It was perfect when you could swipe to see everyone’s bereal in a grid and search up certain bereals. It was perfect when a persons bereals were grouped together (since they decided to let you take 6 per day) and so you wouldn’t have to scavenge to find someone’s old bereal if they just posted a new one. Other than that it’s pretty good

Profit over usability. Adding ads and canceling slides to force users to scroll is just pure greed

Becoming too corporate. Adding celebrity accounts and brands is a mistake. What makes the app special is that it’s almost an anti-social media - it’s good because you can interact with your real friends.

Good but racially motivated and a bit savage. This app is actually good and funny! It’s a good gen Z version of snapchat and it’s really genuine. Although, this app may give you some comments about your face. Like : why are you in your bed at 4pm or open your eyes (im asian 🥲). But other than that, good app!

You’ve ruined a beautiful thing. This app has been such a wonderful antidote to the soul sucking nature of Instagram but all of these recent updates (ads, especially ones that automatically take over the whole screen and your music - it sucks to have a playlist interrupted by an ad, especially if you’re Bluetoothing to a room of people; additional pics; groups; influencers; etc) are ruining that. I guess we re just right back to being another IG, where the goal is to keep us endlessly scrolling throughout the day. I wish someone would finally introduce a paid model to one of these apps so we can pay a small fee simply to enjoy the features we want without being forced into these stupid algorithms and force fed repetitive marketing content.

I love the old app… not too sure about the new one. I loved that BeReal was NOT like Instagram, or other social media. But now that they’ve changed it to more of a feed option that is sorted based on when people post and not by person - it’s so much harder to look through and scroll through my friends. I find myself posting my bereal occasionally but never actually spending anytime looking through my friends bereals or interacting with them. Not sure how long I’ll keep the app if it stays like this :(

ruined the app. The app was good and worked well but now after they put ads in, it’s super laggy and glitchy and you can’t scroll without it being broken. You also can’t swipe up anymore to see the condensed format of who posted (I’m assuming because they want people to see the ads) but now the app just sucks :/

it’s bad. stink wink dink flunk

Sometimes new isn’t better. Please stop adding new things to be real. The app was great when I first got it and now you keep adding new things and taking away the things that were good. Like why can people post six bereals in one day? That’s a bit ridiculous. And now you can’t search for a certain persons be real either. This app wasn’t meant to be another reason that people are always on the their phones. Please BBOB (Bring Back Old BeReal!)

ads are ridiculous. the app was fun to use up until the ads started. It disrupts the entire flow of the app, not to mention blows my eardrum every time. That needs to change. Can’t stand it.

dm. bro can you guys add dm’s so i can hit up these girls man

broken. haven’t been able to post a bereal for a week, ruined my streak smh

love it !. wish you could view others memories & vice versa

It was frozen even if I reset all my apps. It was frozen and would work I have experienced this happen for a while and I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with BeReal I’m just saying that there might be a bug in BeReal so BeReal could you check for bugs please thank you.

New Update is horrible. To me, the whole point of the app was to escape the culture of other social medias. Adding brands and influencers make it so disingenuous. I was always hoping bereal would stay true to itself, but its fallen victim to what it was created against.

can’t post. i can’t post without uninstalling and redownloading the app, bc when i open the app it freezes and can’t do anything

Ads. The ads make lagging the application

updates. the new updates that bereal are releasing are making the app feel less “real” like i just want to see what my friends are up too. the option of tagging people and reposting is stupid. i don’t mind that u can add music to your bereal but now that you’re adding CELEBRITIES AND BRANDS is the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen and now this app is turning into something stupid. adding celebrities and brands wasn’t the move and i’m considering deleting the app because now it’s starting to feel like every other app. u guys thought it’s was a good idea but it’s not. i just want a social media app where there doesn’t have to be celebrities and who ever. this update is defeating the purpose of what people want out of bereal and what it was made for.

glitching😭😭. i’ve been using this app for over a year and it has started glitching saying i logged out and won’t let me log back in. it also makes me add friends but none pop up. lately my friends bereals have not been popping up even though they have posted. i’m really sad because i have memories on it and love to use it with my friends. i’ve tried deleting and redownloading and it hasn’t worked. so annoyed😭😭 pls fix this bereal🙏

Adding brands and celebs will be the death of the app. goodbye lol.

Fun idea but needs bug fixes. Great concept but the app is very buggy and needs a notification centre. I get multiple ghost notifications and obviously can never find them within the app.

App Getting Worse. Why are there ads every 2-3 posts? I get ads were inevitable, but this is way too frequent. And it’s always the same ad. Where did the grid mode go? Now I have to scroll through my entire feed and have to go back to then search tab to find someone’s post. This is exacerbated by the app taking up a huge amount of RAM, making the app stutter. This happens with no other apps with a similar feed style. Really hope I can keep using this app.

Good but getting worse. Why add so many ‘fake’ features? It was so much better before adding brands and celebrities. Makes me want to delete.

bro what. i downloaded this thinking it was gonna be like the locket app and it is EXCEPT when you take photos there are little messages that are so passive aggressive and rude?? completely unnecessary aswell as not being able to take more than one photo a day? dumbest design ever the app is super confusing. If you don’t like the photo you took too bad because you need at least 10 friends to retake it, try getting 1 person to join this app ugh.

We want old BeReal. back. I love BeReal but sometimes we need to keep the old. Like 5 extra bereals?! I’m sorry what?? I liked having 2 extras, that was nice but 5 is a bit excessive. And celebrities on BeReal. Just kinda takes away the purpose of the app. Taking away the search?? I like my favouritism thank you. You update like TikTok, give us good features and then take them away when we get attached. Also what’s with the separate posts everytime i post a BeReal?? I want to be able to see one persons bereals all in just a swipe. It makes less bereals for me to swipe through and just makes more sense. Enjoy my rant session #bbob (bring back old bereal) Baii

Good idea, app is bugged. The buggy app defeats the purpose of this app. You get the notification but the BeReal session doesn’t load in/start. How can I be real when waiting for the app to load, if it ever does? Unusable in the current state

Can’t post a bereal. I receive all the notifications but can’t post my be real. When I open the app I can’t click on anything and the app is stuck on my friend’s blurred bereal from days ago.

Annoying app. I love this app but it’s constantly glitching, everytime I post my be real on time it takes forever to post and then doesn’t end up ever posting and then I will have to “post late”. Lately I’ve been trying to post my be real in general and the whole app is frozen and I can’t post at all, missing some days after having months in a row streak. I would love the app so much more if they would fix the glitches!!!!

Great app!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I totally recommend this app for a number of reasons. First of all it’s good for kids cause you can adjust it so only your friends can see your posts! Second of all it isn’t fake it’s real and I think it can encourage people to be themselves no matter what and I think that’s amazing!! Also if you do happen to see anything inappropriate you can report it. I like how you can control who sees the post and it’s so real! A few things I don’t like….. I’m not sure if you can do this but I couldn't figure out how is to set it so it won’t send you notifications during certain times like when I’m at school or asleep. Besides that I think it’s a great app and I love it and if your trying to decide if you should get it or not GET IT it’s a good app and if your trying to decide if you should let your kid get it I think it would be a good social media to let them have but depending on your kid do what you think of course!!!

this app is horrible!! absolutely nothing to do... (Btw i only put 5 stars so that it can get at the top and so that people can see this) My friend made me download this app and all I can say it that it’s useless and is inefficient. It makes my phone glitch and has bad errors. All you are able to do is add friends and view their posts. Also, you’re not even able to post more than two photos at a time, which is absolutely ridiculous!!!! This app doesn’t even include any videos for your to post, nor watch… plus, the controls on this app are to utterly confusing… This app isn’t even like any normal app… I mean I don’t usually complain about many apps… but this one just has so many things to complain about. Adding friends is a whole different page on the app which makes it even more confusing. I don’t know what else to say… so that’s all I have for now… thanks for letting me rate your bad app.

I LOVE BEREAL!!👍🏼😻. I am obsessed with bereal. ITS AN AMAZING APP AND IT IS SAFE FOR KIDS. Basically at a random time of the day u get a notification that says “⚠️Time to bereal!” or something like that. Then you have to take a photo in 2 minutes or less. You will get two extra bereals for the day if you post on time! Ok that was kind of explaining bereal and like the pros. Now the cons. I know people live in different time zones. But alot of the times my bereals come while at school and lots of people either aren’t aloud to bring their phone to school or use them. Alot of the times i get them at like 10:00am-3:00pm and i’m at school at those hours. Secondly this is the first time it happened but i accidentally posted an extra bereal and i have tried to delete it multiple times but i can’t. I also tried deleting the other one i took that i wanted to keep but it still doesn’t work. I don’t know what’s happening. But other than that BeReal is amazing👍🏼.

Kennedi arnold. I honestly rate this I total 5 as the star rate because posting on BeReal is really a great social media app you can add any off your friends on it and you can write about yourself in your bio and you can post pics of yourself I personallly love this app💗❤️💗!! The timer of two minutes goes off when it is time to BeReal and if you post on time you get to post 2 more pics and a rollett ,a rollett is were you hold the screen and it goes through your photos then you tap off the screen at the right pic you want and then you do your pose and then you post. And I think it is a really safety app cause only your friends can see and like what you post and I think that is better then what instagram and Snapchat ,also TikTok has to being so I would at lest recommend this app for sure for at least 10 and up so take time to tryout this app for sure 👍🏻.

Mixed feelings. Okay so BeReal. is a really fun app and I like how you can post more if you post on time, buttt it can get really annoying. Yesterday I posted on time, then its said I didn’t so I posted a late BeReal. but then, it said there was 50 seconds left so I posted really quick and after I did that it posted my original BeReal. instead so I was happy about that, but (ofc there’s a but) it also posted the one I took when I thought I was posting late and actually have 50 seconds left and I didn’t want it to post that so I deleted it, well at least I tried to. It wouldn’t delete and I kept trying and it was saying error so I just gave up, BUT THEN I went back on to the app and… it deleted my original BeReal. and made me post late. I just am getting so annoyed with BeReal. like there are so many bugs or BeReal. just doesn’t know what it’s doing but it’s annoying and if y’all might think it’s not really a big deal if I post late, yes I agree but if I posted on time in the first place and it deletes my post and makes me post late, it’s a big deal.

i as a human i am definitely devastating. I down loaded this app, it was amazing in till THIS happened. I was at a amazing ice cream store and wanted to take a picture because my be real notification went off. So I took the photo like any person who USES this app would. So it said it was loading to send normally it does this so I thought NOTHING off it. Until I got back to my house and noticed it did NOT go through. Well I was on the verge of tears because I really wanted to share this AMAZING moment with my FRIENDS. But instead this app had the mind of its OWN. So I swiped out of the app to see if it was just a LITTLE bug, new SHOCKER it was not that. So I shut DOWN my phone and guess what it was not that. If it was do you think I would be righting this right now? 😡 taking the TIME out of my DAY to right this. So I DELTED the APP and re download it. Again picture NOOR my friends picture where able to be seen. So I tried 10 more times EVEN calling my friend to see if SHE could help. She was like “that is so sus” and I was sad so NOW I am not downloading this for a while to SEE if the app could maybe think about be NICE for once. Sorry NOT sorry for WRITING this.

LOVE IT💗💗💗✨✨✨. this is a great social media app, my parents are really strict about social media but this they let me try, it is a app where you post a bereal each day that only your friends that you add can see NO ONE ELSE, this is a great app to have if you don’t have a lot of social media, a bereal is a picture of you then what is in front of you or whatever you want. You can also react to your friends bereal with real mojis you’ll see if you get it, There is no way to show how much i love this app. It is a fun,cute way to show what you are doing with your day. No matter if your laying in bed or on a fancy trip to italy. It is a great way to express your day, if you are reading this to your parents say that they can trust me with this review, It is so fun and if someone adds you that you don’t know you can decline and say that you never want to see this person pop up again. one more thing! IT IS THE BEST SOCIAL MEDIA APP I HAVE💗💗💗💗💗🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙

I ❤️ BeReal. This app is lovely and totally perfect for children of all ages of course young children have no need for it obviously but it’s not bad for them. I’ve had this app for a year a love every bit of it it’s fun and enjoyable. It has glitches sometimes as excepted with any app but they don’t happen often. I am 16 and enjoy conecto g with my friends on this app there is nothing bad to be said about this. I just have no problem it’s a small glitch, so there is this one feature that lets you see your friends BeReal and there friends to see yours well I turned this on and realized my friends have weird friends and I didn’t want them seeing my BeReal so I went to turn this feature off but everyday it turns itself back on so I turn it off it bothers me but it’s not the end of the world I just wish I never turned it on to begging with and then I wouldn’t have this problem but besides this I ❤️be real.

Love this app but who decides when it’s time to BeReal. I love this app for all the same reasons everyone else, it’s unique, gives you a chance to be authentic, and if you and your friends have a good sense of humor it’s very fun. My question is, what dictates when the 2 min timer starts? When I first installed the app, it was around 10am for a few days consecutively which was ok but not ideal since most people are doing the same thing around the same time each day and during the week that’s usually just working. After those few days the time seemed to be more sporadic but the latest was probably around 5pm. Now today, it’s almost 10:30pm and I still haven’t gotten the notification to share. This isn’t even really a complaint because I think if it was the same time every day, it would be too predictable and easy to kind of curate a post rather than an authentic photo, i’m just curious what’s going on or if there’s any type of pattern to it. And of course I just received the notification rn which I knew would happen

Cool App, Bugs Make it Unusable. I’ve been using BeReal almost since it came out and I love the idea of it and I’ve posted nearly every day. Over time, the app has gotten more and more buggy. Camera won’t open when you open the app and you watch the timer run out, photos won’t upload when you post them unless you close the app multiple times and get the failed go upload try again button. Sometimes you can post something and it’ll say it posted and you’ll open the app later and your photo is gone and it says you’re late to post. (This happened with the BeReal I took out my brothers wedding reception and I refuse to forgive the app.) They need to stop adding new features like streaks and sponsored ads until the basics work. It’s an incredibly simple concept for it to work so poorly. Not to mention I’ve posted literally every single day since streaks were introduced and my app has glitched so many times and broken my streak that I don’t even care If I keep it or not. What’s the point? Fix the bugs and app is 5 stars super fun

Notifications are nuts. Unlike most others, I have no issue with upload speed. My beef is with notifications. “On BeReal, you’re in control of your push notifications,” the settings page states. Barely!! I want to get notifications for comments on my posts only, but toggling “comments” on means I get notified about every comment between my mutuals. Plus, there’s no landing page specifically to contain notifications (realmojis, comments etc). I’ve had the red notification bubble on the app thumbnail for hours now because I can’t for the life of me figure out exactly what I’m being notified about. There’s zero indication of what it could be! And hey, maybe I’m missing something. Maybe there’s a fix for all my problems out there. But if there is, it’s the least intuitive fix in the app store, because it’s impossible to find help within the app!! Please change things so that we can access notifications more easily, personalize them in more detail, and know how to make those changes ourselves.

AMAZING, but... I love this app so much. My parents dont allow me to have tiktok and snapchat so this is a great alternative. One thing though. I think there should be more time in between the notification, and the deadline. It’s currently only 2 minutes which is a big inconvenience. Sometimes I don’t have my phone on me and are not able to get a bereal in time. Or I could be an the dentist and almost finished and it goes off and i cant get it in time. Especially if there are multiple things happening that are really fun on that day and i really need to get a bereal on time for extras. At least 5 or 6 minutes to react to the notification on time. Also I think that making the buzz go off no matter if you have your ringer off or your do not disturb is a good feature. You could make it optional but sometimes i dont feel or hear the buzz and arent able to get it. Thats all I have to say🫶🫶

Great app, needs some bug fixes. I love this app, but recently it has been having some issues with posting that it needs to fix in order to retain its users. The app was working perfectly for the first month and a half I had it, but there have been a lot of issues in the past week. Maybe there has been a massive influx of users recently that have caused these issues, but it has seriously affected the quality of the app. For example, recently when I’ve posted, the app is stuck on the “uploading” task and I can only see the posts that people posted the previous day. Today, when I posted it showed me peoples posts from today but when I try to comment or react the posts revert to yesterdays and it says that I need to post a late be real to see the posts. I am not sure why this is happening but it needs to be fixed quickly or these issues will become tiring and prevent me from regularly using the app.

Great idea, lot of bugs. I really enjoy the whole premise of “being real” and simply showing what you’re doing in the exact moment when the timer goes off. However, there’s quite a few bugs that make this difficult if not impossible. On multiple occasions, I will take my BeReal (on time!) and it shows that it’s posted after the timer is done counting down, but if I close out of the app and go back to it a couple hours later or the next day (before the next timer goes off), my post is gone as if i never even posted - so now i have several blank spots in my memories even though i absolutely posted on that day. The app also has the habit of not wanting to load from time to time. I’ll click the notification to post and either the app itself just won’t load in, or it will show me my friends have posted and to click to post my BeReal, no matter how many times i close and reopen the app. I really do enjoy the app and it’s premise, but these are some debilitating bugs that almost make it pointless to use sometimes.

Was the experience really that real?. As someone who doesn’t really like social media and only has little social media this app was great! It was pretty good you can add music to the reals you can have more than own post! It’s fun! You can add friends as my self I have actually influenced some people that don’t like social media to get the app and they very much like it! And it doesn’t take too much time off your day! And it’s not like TikTok where you see endless posts and you don’t see other people’s so you will eventually stop so your not wasting your time on something that endless and never stops! I would say 13 up only because be real doesn’t really take down post that can be nor child friendly. Like one time I saw one with the middle finger and it’s not that bad but kids shouldn’t really on it as that post wasn’t taken down! But over all I really think it’s a great app! It’s very real😂😂

I loveeee BeReal but... I LOVE BEREAL!! It’s really fun to do every day and it’s fun seeing everyone’s Bereals. Theres a lot of good things about this app but I have some suggestions for updates in the future… 1. A timer for the realmojies. Some of the things that people want to do for their realmojis use both hands and it’s annoying that there isn’t an option for a timer. 2. When you go to your friends, their reactions, and go to one of the reaction’s profiles, it glitches out and doesn’t go to their profile. It’s really annoying. 3. For the extra bereals, when you accidentally click on the button on the bottom, it won’t let you leave. You have to exit the app completely which can get annoying as well. 4. There should be a different place to change your realmojis. I think it should be like at the profile. When changing them, it can be really frustrating because when I try to delete one, it’ll like add that realmoji to that person’s BeReal or it won’t delete it. There should be a more efficient system for them. We should also have like up to three or something custom ones where we can pick an emoji ourselves and re-enact that one. 5. I would also like to know how many friends I have. 50 isn’t that many so when it’s 50+ I have to count them out because I’m curious. I wish the count would go higher than 50. That’s most of the things that I have to say. Thank you!

This app is honestly awesome. It took a lot of convincing to get this app, and trust me it was worth it! It is like a beginners social media. So if you don’t want your child to have social media yet, then this is an awesome starter. Basically, The app will send you a notification, and you have 2 minutes to post. If you don’t post in 2 minutes, it’ll be considered late, but it’s okay! One thing i don’t like is that it doesn’t really let you post if you’ve been a late poster. It can send you a notification if your already asleep, or at school. But you can always turn do not disturb mode on your phone. It’s is a 2 sided picture mode. You take a picture of what your doing, then a picture of you. you can always just take a picture of your shoulder if your not comfortable posting your face. There is a setting that allows you to post to friends only, I really like that. Overall this is a really great app, highly recommend!

love this but one suggestion. i love this app so much. i love all the updates that you guys have come out with that has just made it even better. but to make it the best version i suggest giving everyone a notification when someone posts a bonus bereal. most of the time i don’t check bereal a ton throughout the day and i’d love to see what my friends do when they post bonus bereals. however i miss them all the time because i never know they post. this would be super helpful and fun addition. also with the new addition of private groups, good feature BUT i would love to have the update where you go into the group settings and you can view all your condensed memories from there. kind of like how your normal bereal memories are. this way you can view them with ease AFTER IOS 18 THE APP WONT STOP CRASHING. PLEASE FIX THIS. i love this app but it is getting extremely annoying because it won’t stop crashing and kicking me out of the app whenever i open it. i will have to delete it this does not get fixed

It’s going downhill. Bereal used to be fun! However, they keep updating it more and more and more! Now there are adds when you scroll and are trying to look at your friends bereals, and it makes the app so laggy. And they almost want to make sure you see celebrities posts because they mix them in with your friends bereals now! Also the main purpose of the app is to bereal and what it used to be was post one bereal a day and do it in the 2 min you have. Now you can post 2 if you are late and 6 if you get it on time!! Turning it more and more into a platform of social media! Sorry but I just want it to go back to how it was! And I know that some other people do to! The more updates the more I don’t enjoy bereal as much. I don’t want to see “famous” people’s bereals who I didn’t even add! I got the app because it wasent really social media, however it keeps getting more and more like that! It’s gotten better, they have removed some of the past things that they added before, however there are still adds when you scroll and they get in the way many times! And you also still have to see celebrities bereals.

Good concept, needs some work. It’s a great concept and I love the idea behind it, however, for it to actually work I think they need to increase the amount of people that their app can handle at one time. Because everyone literally gets the same notification and the same exact time, I think this sometimes causes the app to become overloaded which causes the app to kind of “glitch out.” There have been many MANY times where I get the notif that it’s time, open the app, and nothing happens. Either it just shows my feed from the day before, takes the entire two minutes to open my camera, or even says I haven’t added any friends yet and shows me a blank feed. This is really frustrating to the point where I know several people who have since just stopped using the app because it doesn’t work when they get notified and then they forget to upload a post later on because it doesn’t remind them. This app needs a LOT of work, but I’ll probably continue to use it until the hype dies down.

I love Beal. I love B-Real. It helps me connect with my friends and since I’m not allowed to have Snapchat be real is a really nice way to connect with my friends, especially if I don’t have their number I can just add them on be real and we can talk through there. It’s such a fun and entertaining app. I’ve been scrolling through all my friends stories for hours. It’s literally so so fun. I’m obsessed with it if you see this, please respond to this because I think your app is amazing and I rated it five stars and I’m writing this review right now to whoever is reading it. I’m sure you may be real. Thank you for making it. It’s a great way to connect express, collaborate with other people that you may not know thank you to the people who may be real. It’s a great way to connect with my friends and collaborate with other people and look at other stories and cute little photos.

Awesome. This is really one of the only social media apps I actually have, but it is great. First off, the sole idea the app is built around is amazing. Allowing people to see the real you and vice versa is just the best part about the app in my opinion. Then there’s the way the app carries out this mission, which is just incredible. There’s the extra posts you get if you post on time, and you only get one repost if you post late and delete your previous post, but that’s just to name a few. There is one problem though that I’ve been noticing that has been happening almost every time I try to post, both on time and late. Sometimes I’ll click the send button, but it doesn’t go through, so I end up posting late when I don’t realize what happened. However, when I do notice what happened, I have to post another time for it to go through, but then it just sends both posts I made. Besides this small bug the app is amazing. Five stars for sure.

Amazing!. BeReal is so fun and entertaining! I love BeReal because you can’t use filters or backdrops! It’s you and your friends in the moment. I love that all of the RealMojis are nice and not hurtful and that you can leave fun comments for them to see. The fact that you get to choose who you can be friends with is so nice. It allows you to keep your account between friends that you know personally. You can choose to share it for everyone on discovery or just with your friends. No one even needs to know your location. You get to pick what your profile says and what picture you want to use. You can change the picture at anytime. Now with the new update you can post up to 3 BeReals if your on time. This encourages everyone to post on time and makes it so much more fun. You can react to all 3 BeReals with different RealMojis depending on how you feel about them. It is so much fun. And the safest type of social media platform. I would recommend BeReal to all of my friends and family! LOVE BEREAL AND THE WORK PUT INTO IT!! ❤️

👍👍👍. I love this app so much! it basically let you know what your friends are doing and if you do your be real when you get a notification then you can do two more until the next notification goes off. I love it because I can see what my friends are up to and I can comment on their be real, react to it and do my own be real! You can pick what people you add and see what they are up to. It is a super cool app and it says that it is for ages 12+ but I think that it should be either 4+ or 9+ as long as you don’t go on discovery where you can see anyone’s BeReal. By anyone’s, I mean anyone in the world that has bereal. I just love this app and I look forward to keep using it! Ok now for the creator of be real, I think for how many people react to your BeReal you should get that many points and there should be filters that you can buy with your points. Thank you for reading!

Lovely way to keep up with friends—but app crashes constantly. I like the random, in-the-moment, unfiltered way this app connects me with friends. I feel like I get to see their real lives and I know much better what is really going on with them, and it creates talking points far more interesting than normal social media. I’ve deleted my other apps and just use BeReal! However, the app crashes constantly and is getting to the point where I have to try three times before it will actually complete and send a BeReal. It will take the forward facing photo but take ages to take the selfie—which completely destroys the point—it’s supposed to be a quick one and done, not interfering in my day, but it leaves me hanging for so long I’ve been avoiding it. I understand if a lot of people are using the app, it might crash—but in that case it would be better if it would crash and not leave me awkwardly smiling, then giving up and shoving the phone in my pocket. In short, love the idea, but the lags ruin it. Please fix if possible.

I love BeReal!. BeReal is a supper kid friendly app. You can post up to 3 times a day, all you are really doing on the app is showing what you are doing that day. I have had BeReal for a while and I have not seen one thing on it bad. The app BeReal will send you notifications when it is time to post what you are doing that day, if you post when it tells you to you get to post 2 more times that day. However if you post late you will only get to post one time that day. I love BeReal because you can meet new people! And you can have up to as many friends as you want!! Also if more of your friends have BeReal and they are in your contacts you can find them easily. I personally love BeReal and I think this is a kid friendly app. I have no problems with this app. And yes this is coming from a 11 year old but I am very mature for my age. Love, Bree

Ruined the app. This used to be my favorite app because of its simplicity, but for the past year or so the updates have made it worse and worse. When the first added the second BeReal if you posted on time I didn’t care too much, but then they added the “Real People” update which made basically was exclusively for famous people and brands that never posted, and the camera roll update and I new it would be all downhill from their. And boy how right I was because about 5 months later they added 4 more extra BeReals a day, ads, and other things I can’t remember but I know we’re just as bad. I think the ads were the worst of all because they don’t regulate the type of ads they have on their. Constantly I’d get sexually explicit ads and even ads saying I had a virus on my phone. Oh and did I even mention the fact that ever since ads had become a thing the app stopped working at all? Yea for weeks at a time every day I posted I would see the same BeReals of people for days at a time. So that’s my whole rant on BeReal, please go back to normal.😕

Honest review. BeReal is an app where you get a notification at a different time each day telling you to show what your doing in 2 minutes. I think that the concept is really neat and am looking forward to future updates. BeReal lets you post to your friends and see what your friends are doing. There is also a friends of friends page where you can see other people you might know. Now time for the recommendations and cons of this app. I love BeReal for its simplicity and how you don’t have to spend much time on the app but lately the ads have been ruining that. I understand that they need to get money somehow, but that doesn’t mean to flood the app with noisy ads. A reccomendation would be to add discovery back and to call your friends, and instead of so much ads, have a premium subscription that will give you cool new features. all in all, I love this app and am excited to see future updates! Thanks BeReal team 😄

Acquisition killed this app…. The acquisition of this app has absolutely destroyed it. Cool new features like Roulette, BTS are being removed left and right, and now inappropriate ads are being pushed to users every other post scrolled and stupid features like DMs are being added. This is not supposed to feel like a main social media. It was acquired by a giant corporation for hundreds of millions of dollars, most likely meaning our data is being farmed now and they’ll also make this app an addictive social media app. Half my friends have left now… BeReal just doesn’t feel authentic or fun anymore, and all the new features are just gone. There’s no 3d elements like BTS anymore and no fun contests like there used to be. I really had hope for BeReal but the death of it just sad. By the way, they could’ve easily made a paid subscription for more social features and functions and made plenty of money instead of instantly pocketing hundreds of millions to satisfy investors and founders while selling out the app to a trashy and greedy app developer. What a shame :/

Great idea, but probably the buggiest app I’ve ever used. It’s a really fun concept and has a lot of potential, but there are problems essentially every time my wife or I try to use it. It has gotten to the point where I think we’re just giving up on it. Too many problems to mention, but mainly I’ll tap the notification and 1) there’s a one in four chance that it will bring up the camera interface or just open the app and you can wait and hope it opens the camera or you can force close it a few times until it works, or 2) it opens the camera and you take the picture to post it and… it will say 27 hours late or something and you’ll have to retake it or 3) you take a picture and then it does absolutely nothing or 4) it actually works. We have up to date 13 Pro and Pro max iPhones, but on different carriers, so I don’t think there is any excuse other than a poorly made app As far as features, requiring a shot from both cameras isn’t my favorite and I would like an option to have your history be visible to friends if you want to share. Also being able to choose camera focal lengths

Work on upgrades. I get the motive of this app. I think it is very positive and eye opening but I think I can speak for a lot of people when it is annoying to have to post everyday and have a timer that gives you anxiety because you haven’t posted in that time frame, and kicks you out. Also if you don’t post a picture on that day then you can’t see others posts which I think many others can also agree is very overwhelming because you want to see others posts but don’t want to post yourself. And one more thing. When you post, you have to post your back and front camera. I see how that makes you know what’s on the inside and outside like for example, like when you post a picture to social media but you don’t see the reality of it but it is really annoying when you don’t look good on the front, or on the back camera. Yes and you can put your finger or something over the camera to cover the front or back camera but it looks tacky and I wish there was an option where you can either resize the little square icon with the front camera photo, or make it an option to have it or not. I hope you take these ideas into consideration. Thank you.

very good!! but….. ( PLEASE read and fix if possible ). i love it so much, it amazing. Everything about it is great except for 2 things. one, i don’t like how for the roulette thing where it picks a random photo for your bereal and it posts it. i wish that you could select a certain amount of photos for it to pick and use those bc some of my photos have personal info on it or some of them i took when i was like 8 and their dumb. i understand you get 3 try’s but i really wish that we could select about 25-30 photos that it could chose from and it chose with 3 spins or whatever. two, it’s hard for me to “ be on time “ when i don’t have my phone with me 24/7 like if i’m swimming, playing a sport, or even just doing basic things like going to the bathroom or in bed sleeping in. it really wouldn’t bother me, but it’s telling me things like on time to get better this or that. please fix the first one, the second one, doesn’t bother me that much and i can understand that that one may be harder to fix. thank you!!

love it. I actually love Beel so much because it’s so fun to use and I love how everyone’s real on it and I will definitely give this a five star because it gives off really happy vibes and it’s just fun to do whatever you’re doing and post a picture on it and be real unlike Instagram however, I just wish they would change a few things. For example sometimes it gets laggy but it’s OK I just want to know if they could fix that problem and if not that’s OK however I’m really happy about this app and I will definitely give it a five star a five star I would recommend for anyone who has never had this because you can follow your favorite people and your idols however not everyone is on there but I’m pretty sure a lot of things like make up organizations and a lot of popular celebrities like Dixie D’Amelio is on there. OK, thanks for reading this. You should definitely buy this and goodbye! 😜

Great App, a few glitches.. I love BeReal. It is a great way for people to be social without faking it and it is really a great app. My only issue is with posting and deleting BeReals. I usually post my BeReal on time, but it often freezes on the screen that shows the pictures i took for it. The timer is still counting down, and if I wait it says that I posted late. Because of that, I tap the button a few times to make sure that the app picked up when i pressed "post". When I do this, it posts the same BeReal twice or three times. It is annoying, even if you can delete your BeReal or just one BeReal you posted. When it posts the same BeReal more then once and I press delete on ONE of them, it deletes both of them. Then, I have to take another one and it's late. It would be fine, but now that you can post more if you are on time, it is bad. I love randomly taking a BeReal when i'm having fun and I do it all the time. This is happening a lot to me, i don't know if it is happening to anyone else, but it is taking away a lot of the purpose and reason i downloaded the app.

Love it, but some recent bugs. I love using this app and I look forward to the BeReal notification every day! However, recently I’ve noticed a couple bugs related to viewing past BeReals in your memories. First, for older BeReals, only the picture captured with the front facing camera is displayed. This picture is also shown where the one captured with the selfie (rear-facing) camera should be. Second, for more recent BeReals, there is an issue with viewing multiple BeReals taken in the same day (on days when you take your first BeReal on time). Instead of showing all of the pictures captured that day, only the most recent one is shown in the memories. Taking BeReals every day is a lot of fun, but one of the things I love most about this app is the ability to look back at past BeReals and see what I was doing on different days. These bugs make it difficult to enjoy the memory part of the app. hope these issues can be solved soon.

Could be better. I enjoy the app, like most people have said, the spontaneity is a really unique way to avoid glorified posts or unrealistic updates. Similar to most people, it is frustrating working around the glitches and the bugs. It takes forever to upload pictures even when I hop on immediately. I’ve had my pictures change unexpectedly, I showed my friend a selfie of us, then when I uploaded, that picture was gone and was just a blurry photo of the floor, but I hadn’t clicked to retake. And I don’t like that if you aren’t sitting with the app open for the 5-10 minutes it takes to upload, you are said to have uploaded late. A final issue I have that is simply personal, I hate when it alerts super late at night. I’m a millennial in a grandmas body, and my geriatric self goes to bed around 8p so I’m always destined to miss out on it if it’s past my bedtime. Overall, I do enjoy the app. I enjoy sharing with my friends and seeing what they are up to. I think it has a lot of potential. I’ll patiently wait for the creators to iron out some kinks.

One star. as kid but a teenager i love social media apps. im obsessed with snapchat, tiktok, instagram. anything social media related as being in middle school i want to be “trendy” some would say. but i downloaded bereal at the beginning of november i think. it’s been fine i’ve just always felt just a little weirded out because it does some weird things sometimes like when i’m on the app abt to take my “picture” it takes it before i was ready but i’ve always forgetn it. but as i was laying on my bed trying to fall asleep i wonder if my bereal has gone off yet. i flip up my phone and see the notification i open the app and before i even click the post a late bereal it glitches and says i already took it. now the weird part is when it took it it didn’t show my face so it took the bereal when i was asleep. and another thing is that it shows my location when i don’t want it to i have it disabled but it still does. if your reading this as a parent learning more about the app if your child wants it. i would let them have it but just let them read this coming from a kid. have a great day or night

you need be real. my parents did not let me have be real because they did not want me having any social media, but all my friends had to be real! My parents are very anti-social media, and would never let me go on any of the social media platforms, but I really want to be real so we made a deal that I would have a one week trial and they would be looking at my be real every night and all my friends be reals to make sure it was appropriate. They then realized that it was just an app to get to know your friends better and see what they were doing and post. Funny pictures with funny titles. It it's not even a social media it's just a way to get to know your friends better and if somebody sends you a friend request that you don't want to be friends with you can just declined the request. It's not that big of a deal. I think everyone should have this app. It's so fun!

I wish I could give 5 stars. I LOVE BeReal, and I’m not much of a social media person. It’s a great way to stay in contact with long-distance friends or family, and it just makes me happy to see what my friends are up too :). However, I am becoming increasingly unhappy with the new updates and changes. At first it started adding brands and celebrities to follow, which I feel defeats the whole purpose of BeReal. I indicated that I wasn’t interested, and it is still persistently advertised. Then they started fully advertising (at first for themselves lol) and there’s an ad between every person’s BeReal! It’s really frustrating to see all of these ads, especially because they’re not even muted. I don’t want some ad blaring while I’m peacefully checking BeReal while waiting for an appointment or whatever 😒. I have been a big advocate for BeReal honestly 😅. I’ve convinced friends and family to join the app. With recent changes my tune has changed though, and I myself am on the verge of deleting the app.

A Fun Way To Share With Friends. I love BeReal it’s and app i find myself using often but not to and addictive point like many social medias. BeReal is a great way to share real time. Photos with friends no editing no filters. It’s a fun way to look back at memories and things you’ve done with family and friends such as going to theme parks or movies or even just an event with people, sitting in your room or in the car you can see what your friends are doing and share what you’re doing. It’s a great way to meet people that you may not know from schools or athletics and it’s truly a great way to connect in general I am not a user of social media, but I do have BeReal because I honestly feel real using it. I feel like I do not need to fit into a box of what is pretty and what is not because everyone is just smiling ready for the picture or the notification to pop up, it is a great app for teens in tweens alike and I recommend it to many close friends to enjoy alongside me.

Very good!. i really love this app. it’s non toxic and doesn’t push unrealistic standards onto people. i like how it’s not “followers”, but instead it’s friends. i also like how not anyone can just add you and they can see your stuff, but you can’t see anyone’s posts unless your added which is amazing to me. i have one idea though; posting on your “story”. it’ll of course be the usual BeReal picture layout, but you can post any time of day, and it could re-set after when your regular BeReal resets! i think it would be a fun way to post your everyday life to your friends when you want to. and maybe there could even be a limit of how many pictures you can post on your story as well (i personally think around 5 would be a good amount if you were to put a limit on how many you can post.) it’s just an idea i have in mind and i think it would be a great addition to the app! thank you for reading, please consider it!!

Such a good thing💋. Oh my God I love be real because it just makes you be yourself and I just like how like it all this comes to like your friends and you and it’s like really a good good good good good really good thing you can like just text on basically and tell your friends that they’re really pretty and I really think I love this thing so much that I can say it’s my favorite thing in the whole entire world and I think used to really get the real because it just literally gives you the time to be yourself and I think you guys will really like it and I know this is such a long review but I love talking about be real and like how good this is thing and I just think you guys should get it and it’s gonna be really good when you get it because trust me it’s such a good thing and I gave this a five star review because you can just text your friends on it basically and it’s the best. Thank you.😊

Why isn’t be real being real?. I’m very disappointed with this app. At first, when I got it, I was excited because it was a social media that was real and that you didn’t have to worry about staging, or being fake, or filters, or all the traumatic things that come with these apps. But now, it has adds, it has private messaging, and a bunch of other stuff that they have added to where it is basically like Facebook or instagram. Honestly, they could add filters next and people would still use it. Private messaging is the same as people having your number, and if someone is sending you something that they don’t feel comfortable with sharing to the public in the comments section, then it usually can’t be good. Be real used to brag about not having ads, but now there are so many distractions it’s overwhelming. I want the old be real back. Be real, if you don’t stop then people like me will leave like what happened with target. Please, stop and change it back to the old be real. Where you are actually, being more real.

Putting 5 stars so someone will read this. Everytime i wanna take a bereal, the app shuts down and im late to posting and its all the apps fault theres never anything i can do. Everytime i click on my profile or memories, the app shuts down. And sometimes after ive reopened it a million times after it keeps shutting down, i finally take a picture and it just WILL NOT upload. I refresh and refresh and refresh and it will never upload. Now ive lost my posting streak BEACUSE OF THE APP. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I genuinely used to love this app and looked forward to taking pictures and looking back on memories, its very sad that all those pictures are there but i cant open my memories without the app shutting down. And now i genuinely hate this app, the developers only put updates for more traction to the app instead of fixing the bugs. It’s probably not worth your time.

Love the concept - But super glitchy. I’m loving this concept with my family and close friends! It’s like FB/IG before it went down hill with the ads and consumerism and inauthenticity. This just feels so real and fun! However, the app is SUPER glitchy!! I’ll get the notification to post, go to the app, and nothing. The camera doesn’t show up and there’s no way to get to the camera myself. Then like either almost at the 2:00 mark or just passed, it’ll show the camera. I’ll try closing the app completely (multiple times) or just moving around in the app - nothing helps. Or a notification will show up (like a comment from a friend), I’ll go in the app to view, and it still shows I have a notification even after fulfilling the notification. Which drives me and my husband nuts. And those glitches mentioned above happen with all my friends/family too! Please fix these bugs! It’s a great concept! :)

Really fun!. I really enjoy it and the fun dynamic it brings to social media. It’s simple and unique way to connect with friends (especially my long distance pals!). However that being said, there are two major changes that I think could overall improve the experience. Both having to do with the memories feature. First of all, I think memories should be a feature that you can select to be visible on your profile for your friends. Sometimes I want to reminisce on my friends pages, especially if we appeared on each others BeReal. Second, memories should keep comments and RealMojis. Today, I was looking at a comment thread on one of my friends BeReals and thought…I’ll have to screenshot this thread to keep it because the comments don’t save. That being said, the app is great and enjoy it immensely! I think with a few more adjustments this could very quickly become my favorite form of social media…who am I kidding! It already is!

Cool App. I like a lot about this app, unlike most social media platforms this one hardly pushes consumerism, news (real & fake), or ads in your face. It’s simple, not demanding you be on it at all hours of the day (tiktok). While many social networks give people the opportunity to present a reality that isn't their actual life, this counters that. Other than being late & choosing when to post, there isn't a whole lot of faking you can do. If you're listening to a song it wont let you change it after you captured ur bereal, showing everyone you were really playing that, at that time. I think the feature where you get bonus bereals for posting on time is great bc it encourages people to post on time and wait less for that perfect pic & rewards you with bonus ones. At this time the bonus bereal feature is still being worked on but the idea overall is really sweet. All around I've had a great experience on this app.

Lost Potential for Social Media. I've thought since I started using BeReal that it had the perfect formula for social media: a quick, random check-in with friends, with no opportunity to show off and no possibility of endless scrolling. It still has those bones, but the ads and sponsored content are more intrusive than when I first started using it. The sponsored reels, which you can't remove from the main screen or from in front of your friends' content, seriously detract from the experience. I just wanted to check in with friends. I don't care what strangers are doing in their cool adventures. Not only do these sponsored reels give people a chance to compare their lives with others (the sponsored reels are never mundane), but they also allow you to spend unlimited time in the app since you can watch unlimited strangers' reels. They're intrusive, making it harder to see the reels from your friends that you actually care about. Altogether, it's a disappointing but perhaps inevitable regression present in most social media. I came back and edited my rating to one star once the developers changed this to be an actual infinite scroll.

Great! But…. This is a great app and I love posting pictures of myself while also being able to see my friends pictures. The captions are also great! I’m able to write one describing what I’m doing in the picture and what not. But, putting all that aside, there are some issues. First, the uploading. If I’m not in the app while my post is still loading and then it will never upload so I have to wait until I see that it stopped. Another issue for me is the adding, requesting, and just friending in general. I have one friend that can see my posts, comment, react, and he can see my profile in his ‘friends’. Although he can do all of this, I can’t do anything with him. I can see that he reacted or commented on my posts but I cant see him in my ‘friends’ and I cant see his posts. I have tried to add him many times and he has accepted me many time and vise versa. I’m not sure what the problem is? Besides all of that, this is an amazing app! But it has some downsides.

Add streaks! 🔥. The app has improved a lot since it released, which is cool to see. Used to be really slow, but now it works really well. There are a lot of cute little details like the “smile” or “anyone there?” Messages when you take a selfie My problem isn’t the app itself, but a lot of people will purposefully not take their BeReal until they’re doing something interesting. At that point they’re using the app like a simplified Instagram story, which defeats the whole purpose of BeReal. This isn’t anything that the app can really control (I think letting people post late is still good because it keeps people engaged even if they accidentally miss the window). But it would help if you could get a streak of how many days you got the BeReal on time! Not everyone will care about it, but it would be cool to have a little number and 🔥 next to the time that you posted. Enough people would start to care about their streak that hopefully it will solve a bit of the issue.
