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!

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.

“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!

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!

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.

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.

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! 😉

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.

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🙏🙏🙏

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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. 😌

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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☺️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!. 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! 😊

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!! ❤️

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.

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 ! And when u take a photo of yourself and/or friend(s) it takes another photo but on the opposite camera so like the back of you phone ! You can use BeReal on an iPad,iphone,phone and take photos ! 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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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?

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

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

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.

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?

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 🤩

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

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 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.

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

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 potential. Needs some improvements that hopefully come with time. Major one for me is offering more time zones and different/random posting times each day. I’m in Australia and so far I’ve only been asked to post at 9pm- just as I’m about to go to bed… I understand the realness about that but it’s the same shot every day, me on the couch or bed unwinding from my *busy & exciting* day and I could have posted something different that would give a glimpse into my actual life.

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.

Concept is great. Okay, I love the idea of this app. But as others have said pleasssse include more time zones… I see it’s been asked for months and their still is no option. It makes for being in australia trying to use this app really pointless… I also love the idea that people have said about having a leaderboard with how fast you post. Seeing as you can still post past the 2mins with no change actually also makes that part slightly pointless lol. But as soon as australia is added to the time zones it’ll be a 5 star for me!

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

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. :)

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. 😊

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).

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!

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 :/

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! 😁🙂

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

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…

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!!!!

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!

BeReal is amazing. BeReal is so amazing, I got it about 12 days ago and since I posted my first BeReal I’ve been I love with it! I have been able to see what people are doing all around the world both what’s in front of them and their face so you can see what exactly they are doing! You can also reacted to their BeReal’s and what your face is doing represents the emoji that you have to look like. I have absolutely loved BeReal from day 1 and you should to.

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!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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!

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⭐️

great in theory. i dont use social media often, so i have no idea what this app is supposed to revolutionise or evolve, but its honestly just a bad app. as far as i can tell from my 2 days of using it, people have found it a challenge to fight the idea that you cant take a perfect picture in 2 minutes. there are two types if images i have seen on this app. boring, or staged. if i wanted either of those options i’d head over to instagram where at least i can post a picture without freezing the app. and maybe id even get some sort of human interaction, which falls short and feels distant through the reaction and comment options on this app. the “flaws” of social media this app is trying to avoid simply highlight the reasons people love apps like instagram, twitter, snapchat. the ideas it brings to the table are easily worked around, no matter how inflexible they present it. for the past 6 hours my app has been frozen, despite having data and wifi, despite closing and reopening the app and despite restarting my phone. what was supposed to be a fun app with friends that find it difficult to engage on social media has been boring and frustrating, only feeling more distant than interactions on other medias. i would also point out that as a person with body and facial dysmorphia, the ability to turn off the front facing camera would make the app a lot more enjoyable and less stressful.

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.

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.

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!

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…

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!!

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.

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, 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.

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! :))

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

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!!

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 👍👍😄😄

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?

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.

No Celebs / brands. Ruining the app experience. Very disappointed in this !

Good app. It’s pretty good to see what your friends are doing and they can see what you’re doing travelling or whatever. Or just simply chilling

Good for now but…. I still really love this app and the concept. But PLEASE for the love of god, stop adding things like celebrities and messaging and changing the year end Timelapse into Spotify stats and all that. I truly feel like people like the app the way it was originally (I know I did). I still use it for now but if it keeps going on this track idk if I will…

Remove the celebs. No one cares. Quality, not quantity, remember?

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.

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.

10/10. i love bereal. i’ve had this app for about a year and i can look back at what i was doing each day

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

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

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.

Why did you get rid of 0.5x ??. Bereals wont take photos in 0.5x… plz bring it back.

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..

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

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

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

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

Won’t work. Used to be fun but now it just glitches all the time for me and my friends too whenever we get a notification and try to post I’m stuck in the Home Screen for days

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.

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

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!!!!

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!

Be Freeze Real. It keeps freezing whenever I open the app. It only works when I delete and redownload. It’s such a pain! Please fix!!!

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.

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

amazing app. valid asf

Bereal needs to make some improvements. As a user, Ive experienced multiple memories (daily bereal photos) disappearing that were out of my control and without any notice or warning. It is quite upsetting because I never got the chance to save those photos before bereal deleted them.

Bring back 0.5. I’ve removed the app today and unfollowed BeReal. we want 0.5 back and no celebrities. You’ve given us celebrities and no 0.5.

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.

0.5. i’m sad that the 0.5 feature isn’t still a thing anymore

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.

Map. You should add a Map with all of the BeReal the ppl take so we can see if someone is out of town or in vacation

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.

They messed up the Recap for 2023. The whole reason I took BeReals almost every single day was to see my entire year recapped in a Timelapse but they got rid of that and opted for a recap like Spotify’s wrapped. I didn’t like this change and I think they should update it ASAP so we can get our Timelapse recap back!

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

so bad. gave me cancer

Poor quality. Constant glitches, doesn’t allow me to post a BeReal. on time, app is always frozen and whenever I tap on notifications from my phones notification bar, it crashes the app

it’s bad. stink wink dink flunk

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

Constantly Glitchy. I like the app, but almost every-time I open to take a late BeReal the app freezes and I can’t do anything.

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.

Stop making it more connected or I’m deleting it. I have bereal because I don’t have anything else. Red flag when I needed instagram to compete in the contest, and red flag now how much you’re recommending me people I hardly know when you claim that it’s only for your closest friends. Also get rid of or let me get rid of the discover feature. For gods sake can’t this just stay the anti-social media app One more social update and it’s enough for me

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.

bug fix needed. love the app when it works. there is a bug that randomly freezes the app and makes it unusable; it has happened to me 5 times over the past two months. the only way to get access to the app again is to delete and redownload the app. please fix this soon—it is greatly discouraging to click on the daily notification and be unable to post on time because the app froze.

App freezing. Every time I press the notification to take a BeReal, the app freezes and I’m stuck on the home page unable to click on anything. The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app, but it freezes again after a few days.

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

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

Frozen App. Since the latest update my app keeps freezing, i get the notification but i can post cuz the app is frozen on the home screen from the previous day with blurry images, i can’t even scroll or anything. I have to delete and reinstall it for the app to work but it happens again every few days

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.

Almost what I wanted. I like the idea of be real. I took all social media off my phone and got this app. I am enjoying it a lot more than Instagram, Facebook, tik tok, etc. I really like that there is no endless scrolling, you get to the bottom of your feed (quickly if you keep your friends to a small number) and then your done. But as I am in the process of becoming unaddicted to my phone I find myself relooking at my feed that I've already looked at multiple times that day. I wish this app was a more extreme version of itself. I wish that you could only post within like an hour window and if you missed it you missed it. And once that window is up you can look at all the posts people made within the window and once you see them they disappear. That way you are really limited with how much time you spend on the app. Let's be honest who's got the self control to break these phone addictions. Anyways I like the app but wish for a little more.

There might be hope for social media after all. I am really excited about BeReal! I love when I tell people of it and they’re like, “what’s the point?” But then get it and love it! 😂 But It does make you think, other than showing real life, what is the point? Maybe we can add some incentives or points for posting within the two minutes or for smiling or doing something unique when posting (since the camera recognizes when you smile and stuff). I also would like to have a feed or DM feature where you can connect with other users more than just using realmojis and comments. I would go talk to them on another platform if we create real connections. Lastsuggestion, i know we see our memories, but what if our friends could see them as well? OH and add video to posts would be hot! Especially since TikTok stole your idea and did just that 😆😂 you’re clearly onto something.

Great idea, CRAZY glitchy. I just saw that this app was growing in popularity, so I just wanted to try it out to know how it worked, but it’s been surprisingly charming! I love it now, but I swear, every day it’s another insane glitch. Rn it’s almost strobing my My Friends feed from the blurred out “Can’t see this until you post!” and remembering that I already posted. It takes forever to get to the posting page when the alert comes every time instead of showing up immediately, cutting down the amount of time you have to post yours in time, but you also really can’t post in time almost ever because it takes minutes to upload your post. But being able to see what your friends and family are all doing at the exact same moment in the day has been so endearing and just way more interesting than I thought it would be. I’ll keep doing it, but idk if I can keep recommending it to friends bc of how embarrassing the glitching is. Really makes it annoying to use.

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.

Stressful notifications / Missing features for parents. I try to avoid apps that send unpredictability timed notifications that create an implied urgent need to stop what I’m doing and instead interact with the app (the notifications I leave on I try to limit to one’s I think are important updates, reminders, or possible emergencies). Keeping BeReal notifications off means that I can only do late posts. Keeping them on adds an added daily stressor. Also, as a parent, I find that needing to post prior to being able to see what my kids have posted is frustrating. I have a job that puts me in situations where I cannot take pictures, but can still have my phone. When I have a couple minutes of downtime, I’d like to be able to see my kids’ pics and see what they’ve been up to without having to take a blacked-out picture where I’m just covering up all my lenses. There needs to be settings that allow viewing by specific contacts without that contact also posting a picture.

I love it!. It’s a great app for you and your friends, but do be warned there are some “late night bereals” which go off around 10-11 😂. It goes off at certain times of day and it only happens once a day, once the loud notification goes off a timer will be set and you have abt 3 minutes to take the perfect bereal! Another thing is that is will show how many retakes you took. Which I did not know so once I had 11 retakes 😭! People/or your friends can see you bereal and how many retakes you took!🤷‍♀️ There is a setting if you would like for ONLY your friends to see your bereals or the whole world to see your bereals, which in my opinion it’s a no for me 😂Wrapping up.. I think it’s a awesome app for you and your friends to capture and it’s a challenge to see if you get on time 😉 Best of all luck for you and your besties 👯‍♀️ 👯‍♂️

Best Concept meets Worst Execution. 1. Notifications: I regularly find little red numbers 1, 2, or 3 on my app with not a single update or notification in the app. I can go through every screen and back out, and maybe I will find the reason for the little red dot or maybe not. 2. Notifications: Maybe I’ll be notified when it’s time for me to take a photo. Maybe not. 3. Usability: …and when it is time to take a picture, maybe I can use my phone, and maybe I can’t. I picked up a brand new, latest and greatest iPhone, and immediately had the same trouble I had with my old phone. I’m on Verizon. I may have all my bars. It doesn’t matter. I may have to wait for my camera to load, or allow me to take a picture, or upload the picture, or I may have to close the app and try again, or I may have to just give up anyway. 4. Usability: I’m old, but I do use technology. This app is difficult for me to enjoy. Since it is not responsive, I hate clicking on pics to see the comments. That means I scroll, wait, click, wait, scroll, wait, click, wait… all this waiting! Nope. It’s not me. I use plenny a’ apps all day ereday. I may not be the brightest blockacheez in the knife drawer, and I may be the weakest link, but I know how to use an app, and I know when an app does not function properly. This app is broke on Wednesday, June 29.

Amazing app! Has some problems. 5 stars because I know how important rating are to companies. But I would give it a 4.5. The actual act of taking the BeReal every day can be glitchy for me and my friends. The screen to capture won’t pop up and it makes it so I often will go to “take it later” and then never will. Other than that this app does everything that it aims to do and more. The real as an app has become a talking point within my community and even those who don’t follow each other on the real talk about taking the be real every day and everybody looks to see where other people are during the day. I have sincerely noticed this app make a positive impact on my community and I get a rating from that way hopefully the developers can see some little errors and fix them moving forward.

great for kids under 13!. This app allows you to take pictures of yourself at certain times of the day . the accounts are automatically private by default ( so you parents don’t have to worry if it’s private or not) Bereal is only for sharing among friends and its pretty kid friendly. but i would recommend being over 10+ to get this app just to understand how social media works. once a day you get a notification that says ⚠️It’s time to bereal ⚠️ which if you are on time you can post 2 more extra bereals . but if you are not on time. you can only post one. So far using this app is a very good app to use if your kid wants to have social media, i would say it is pretty kid friendly.( Just add people you know) Although bereal has no parental controls, you should always monitor your kids posts. and only add people you know. Thank you!!

I Love the app, have a recommendation. I love the concept of this app and the fact that I can be social without the toxicity and having to worry whether I am making someone else feel down by making my life look more grand than it actually is. Instagram and Facebook are so toxic that I have deleted both and just use this. I have also convinced many of my friends to join this so that I can keep up with people close to me in a real way. My recommendation is to make the notification and comment flow more obvious. For example, sometimes I leave a comment and then someone responds but I never get a notification that they respond. Or I get a notification that is so nondescript that I can’t figure out what the notification is for. Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing, BeReal team and please don’t add ads!

EXCELLENT, but needs bug fixes. I absolutely love this app. As someone who manages professional accounts on major social media apps where I have to be cognizant of an online image to maintain a business, this is the only app where I feel like I’m really EXCLUSIVELY connecting with friends and fam. Absolutely a breath of fresh air, highly recommend that you get on this app. That being said, the popularity has outpaced the fine tuning of development. There are bugs as far as when you get notifications to post, as well as an abundance of notifications about when other people post (which I wish I only got the one that tells ME to post). In addition, I really wish I could tag friends. Beyond that, the dev’s have pinpointed a very necessary corner of social media that revolves around genuine spontaneous life and real connection. I’m excited to see what comes next.

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 the best thing ever!! It is so much fun to see what my family and friends are up to! And it is so awesome to look back at my memories from over a year ago! I am excited one day to go back and look at my high school BeReals 20 years from now! One update I would love would be if you could pick a list of “best friends” and it shows these people’s BeReals at the top. My reason is because I have some people that I only kinda care about or I don’t want to delete them because it would be rude, but I have too many people and not enough time to look through all of the BeReals. It would be so nice to just see my family and closest friends and then if I have time look through the rest. But anyone who is deciding weather to get this app or not… get it! It is so safe and doesn’t take up that much time compared to other social media.

Simple But Effective. So I’ve never had any want or need fo all the social media platforms cause I’m worried I’ll get sucked and and feel the need to post all these great photos and videos and tag people and do all that stuff. Not with Be Real. It’s so easy cause you only post one time a day at a certain time so you don’t spend 30 min finding the perfect location and filter and trendy background audio. You just take a photo and it’ll snap a shot of you front and back camera so it shows what you are REALLY doing. And same with your friends. So it’s kinda de stressing cause you can realize people aren’t doing all the amazing things they post elsewhere. And since there’s not 3 million people on it it’s also not toxic or inappropriate at all. I really like the app. It’s simple, but you still get to post and see other peoples post. Just minus the fakeness.

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.

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 hate the new update☹️😡. I used to give five stars but since the new update this is what it deserves! the new update added all the people that you have 1 mutual friend with to the mutual friend list! This is not helpful whatsoever now my list is a thousand times longer and it’s even harder to find the people I want to friend on the list. The reason why it is so much longer is because If you have like 30 friends and each of this friends have 50+ friends then you have like 1 million mutual friend in your list bc it is literally all of your friends friends! This is so frustrating for me! I also hate the new update where the comments and realmojis are on the same page it’s less nice to look at. I hate giving this review because this is one of my favorite apps and I would hate to delete it but the new update is a real disappointment so if this could be fixed that would be nice

Very good. In the beginning there there were a few bugs when I switched to a new device for example it would not let me change my profile picture I was acting really strange I think it just had an updated but that problem was resolved because it let me change it and I think now it’s back to normal I’m not sure exactly what happened but I personally think you should get be real it’s a really great app and it’s really fun just for family and friends or if you want to do it with the public too. There are some perks about be real to for example you can also delete your be real whenever you want to be I’ve course you have to do it only once a day is all it allows which is fine it’s better than nothing and one last thing I do I have to point out is that it takes a long time to send…

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!

Great App....BUT!! (pt. 2). I just made a review about how my back camera photos have started coming out extremely dark and low quality like they were taken on an extremely beat up old phone with a bad camera and I just went and tested it out and if I take the back camera photo (non selfie photo) first it comes out bright again but the front facing photo (selfie photo) comes out pitch black. Like I mentioned in my previous review, I've checked to make sure it's not my actual phone camera and it isn't. It works perfectly fine in snapchat, instagram, and on my actual camera widget. The only place it does this is BeReal. Aside from this problem which has been going on for a few weeks now, the app is great and I love it. I've been able to make so many memories with it. I'd hate for it to be messed up like this permanently because now my photos are pitch black.

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.

Thank you.. My cousin has recently told me about this app and I have been putting it off for days. That’s probably my biggest regret in life. I have downloaded the app for less than an hour, maybe even 30 minutes. And let me tell you, this app has already changed me. Mentally and physically. It helped me get over my ex, it helped me lose weight, I can even look my brother in the eyes again (we had a pretty big fight). This app makes me, me. So thank you. You are probably wondering why I didn’t give you 5 stars though. You can post anything you want on here. That is not okay. My cousin Lyla is 13 soon to be 14 years old. What if she saw nudes, alc, weed, etc? What would you do than? Please make a update where people supervise what people post. It is needed, not just for lyla, but many other kids out there. This app is a disgrace and horrible. It is why America is the way it is. But thank you, for truly inspiring me, Lauryn Ann Isabella.

Fun, no Ads, and a quick snapshot of every day. So I used to do a one second a day video, but waiting to compile the videos and not sharing them with anyone until I chose to do so was kinda lame. Then this app showed up! I love it! I’ve been able to share some of my travels quickly and still be focused on the rest of my day, without having to keep posting to keep up relevance. My only thing - is I wish the times that were pushed were a little more consistent to like “working hours” or if there was a way to set up a window so I don’t miss the notification sometimes. Additionally, sometimes the push notification doesn’t send?? Even though I have them turned on. Not sure if that’s the app or an iOS issue! My true rating would be 4.75 stars out of 5 because of those few small details.

love it!. 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 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. (3) For some reason It won’t let me save a new profile picture which is very frustrating. Overall I love this app but I think it has a long way to go to get better.

literally the best ever. i actually love BeReal so much. when i'm not doing anything fun or exiting and just sitting at home, i think "what if BeReal were to go off rn? i would want to be doing something fun!" and then go out and do something. i keep my phone with the ringer on until it goes off, and then turn my phone on silent for the rest of the day, how it is usually. even if i'm sick or not doing anything with friends, it's just genuinely fun to take BeReal and then getting to see what other people are doing. when someone is watching one of your favorite movies, or walking along the beach, or just at home sitting around or eating food, commenting random stuff on them or giving a compliment is like a whole game by itself. petition to have BeReal voted the best app of 2023!! (ps you guys should totally sponsor me cause i haven't missed a single one all year)

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.

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.

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👍🏼.

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.

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!

Needs a few improvements. Great idea, fair execution... the main problems are upload speed, setting captions, posting comments, and sending reactions... basically the whole functionality of the app! It's understandable when you have everyone logging onto the app at the same exact time, but photos take a while to upload even with good internet speed. Reactions sometimes just don't go through, or appear to go through but later you look back and your reaction isn't present on someone's post. You can't set a caption when you take a photo, only after it's posted. And often captions will appear to go through but don't, or you'll get a massive error banner when attempting to share one and it may or may not go through anyway. Same goes for comments -- either appears to go through and doesn't, or appears not to go through and may or may not. The error message usually says something like TOO_MANY_TOKENS which is of no help to a user. Also a major privacy concern is that the app has access to my contacts without explicitly asking for permission. Maybe this is in the terms and conditions and I mistakenly didn't read it, but your users deserve to be explicitly asked and informed of what data you're collecting. I have never let a social media app access my contacts and yet... So it's a fun idea but seems really bare bones and like a lot of bugs need fixing, and the contact scanning is weird.

👍👍👍. 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!

Love the app but one problem. I love be real it’s a great app and I recommend it for others, but when I get notifications it shows up in the corner of the app like normal and when I exit the app it goes back to normal. But when I get anothe notification it says I have like 85 or like some random high number of notifications and it really bothers me because I’m that kind of person, I would like to keep notifications on to see when my friends post to see what they are doing but I know it will be a problem in the future. And yes I have tried to troubleshoot like turning off all notifications then turning my phone off but it hasn’t been working. Just hope you guys come across this review and try to fix it in future updates of the app. But for now I will be turning notifications off and will probably check later on in the week to see if it fixed itself.

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

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🫶🫶

BeReal is deleting my bereals:(. BeReal is an awesome platform, but the amount of bugs in the app are a little silly. Considering how simple the app is, there’s no reason that this app should have so many bugs. I currently am missing 20+ bereals from previous dates, It seems as if the app has completely deleted them. If Instagram can keep up with an archive of hundreds and hundreds of stories one user may post, there is no reason an app based on taking a picture everyday to share with others and save to look at later date should have a hard time saving a BeReal. Other bugs include… not showing the correct profile for other users, not giving a notification when it’s time to BeReal, BeReals not posting even when you are within good WiFi connections, not showing a list of possible profiles when searching a name(the user name must be an exact match with the profile you are attempting to find), and the list goes on!

love it but some things to add are. I love BeReal i post every day and it’s super cool to see what people are up to everyday and I love the new feature about how you can post three if your on time but personally I think we should get the option to post three either way we’re late or on time. I think a good thing to add would be a chat system so you can chat with people so if they add you can say hey who are you and why are you adding me get to know them then decide if you want to add them. Also I think it’d be cool if there was a who viewed feature that you can see who viewed your be real maybe looked at it for a little while that’d be nice to have. Anyway thank you and if your thinking about getting the app I’d say go for it and it’s a great opportunity to find new friends and communicate by showing off your lives.

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.

Amazing social media platform with some bugs. BeReal consistently has a handful of bugs, which is why I rated it 4/5. But the concept is fantastic, and this is probably the only non-anonymous social media app I’ll use. Other social media apps are filled with toxicity since people post about politics. Plus there is a huge amount of pre-editing and curation most do, which makes it too easy to negatively compare yourself to others. I think feed-based personal social media like FB and Instagram is basically done. I abandoned them years ago. Of course it’ll still exist, but they’re already completely impersonal and useless for keeping up with friends. (Though of course they have other uses!) If you want social media for keeping up with your friends in a personal way, BeReal is for you. None of the other platforms come close to it.

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

Why me. BeReal is great and all but I wanted to delete my BeReal and once I did I couldn’t post anything else until the next day. Let me please redo my BeReal, I can’t miss a day. That’s ILLEGAL!! How would it feel if you wanted to send a pic to your friend but it turned out terrible, but your phone died so you couldn’t delete it and send another one? Once your phone turns back on you find out your friend saved it and is now going to threaten you with it. That is exactly my situation at the moment. Please reply to me BeReal dude, and heal my heart, before it breaks and I won’t be able to see my friends BeReal. This is cruel. I would’ve given you five stars but come on! My life is ruined and I won’t be able to sleep until I can post my BeReal for January 20th again. Answer my prayers. P.S. never mind once I updated it I could see my BeReal you the man 🫶🏻

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!

Great App Right Now. I love BeReal because it feels like the one social media app on the market that truly feels social. I’m interacting with the people I care about, and only them. I love seeing what my friends are doing in little snippets of their day, and it truly makes me feel more connected to them. It’s great that I don’t have to worry about being pressured to purchase anything, or see content from random celebrities or brands that are trying to influence me. I really hope BeReal can stay this way and not sell out. I don’t want another social media app that gets run down by sponsored content, influencers, and corporations. I just want to connect with the people I love in fun and easy ways. If ads & sponsored content come in, I’m out. For now, BeReal feels like an breath of fresh air against all of the other apps that are slowly losing their “social” aspect.

“Post three times a day!!” 😒. I actually love BeReal, but I’m upset. I haven’t missed a day for almost 9 months partially because I LOVE having my memories filled with something that I did every day. Because of this, I normally wait to take my BeReal for when I’m not sitting in the same chair when I look at my phone for the first time that day. Normally I wait if I know I’m going to be doing something memorable so I can look back and remember. With the new update allowing you to post two extra times in the day if you post on time, I was excited, and for the first time in awhile I would actually post on time if I saw the notification. That is, until I realized BeReal doesn’t keep your 2nd and 3rd posts. I went to a wedding last weekend and took a picture with the bride for my last BeReal of the day. I didn’t know that I needed to save it, so, I lost it. I’m making this review in hopes that this could change. I think it’s an amazing app, and it’s the only “social media” that I currently use regularly. I just hope that BeReal would save the extra two posts. Those, above the original post, mean more to me.

my feed is full of boring every day pictures of people I love. At some point, I grew tired of social media that would curate my feed based on its own purposes. My real friends were always buried under ads and craft videos and click-bait content. BeReal doesn’t do that. I get to see what my friends are doing, I always see all of their posts, and nothing can be curated to look perfect because of the timed nature of the notifications. Also, no ads, and the number of posts are limited to that day so you can’t scroll forever. Many of my friends have asked “why would anyone want to see what I do every day, I’m so boring!” And the answer is: you are boring, and yet your friends still want to see your face and know what you’re up to because they care about you and find you interesting as a person. I think that’s something special.

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 APP!. i think this app is okay for kids younger than 12 years old or teen. it’s completely appropriate and there’s nothing bad attached to this app. i have had it for awhile and really like it basically it’s kinda like a challenge! you have two minutes to post what your doing to your friends which link to your contacts and so you can see what your friends are doing as well. also if your a parent you can download the app as well to see what your kid is posting if your concerned. i think kids under 7 should not have it just because they might not have a phone to share the photos with people in your contacts also if you post something inappropriate it would be taken down and you can’t see it form your phone if someone’s else posts it so you don’t have to worry about anything inappropriate gapping on the app!

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 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! :)

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.
