BeReal. Your friends for real. for Negative User Reviews
✓ CrashingLove the app but for the past few days or so, the app is frozen and the only way to unfreeze it is to remove the app and reinstall which is super annoying. Please release an update to fix this problem. Thanks.Version: 1.9.0
✓ BeRealI 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..Version: 2.3.1
✓ 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)..Version: 0.23.3
✓ Great concept but app isn’t up to scratch yetI do love the idea and still enjoy posting and engaging with posts BUT the functionality is still lacking so much compared to other big social media platforms. Every time I post, the app buffers - not through fault of my WiFi - and ends up saying I posted late when i didn’t, it just took ages to upload. Also a bunch of other things are glitchy for me and just make using the app a bit of a nuisance. Thankfully it’s only a once a day thing otherwise I think the functionality would drive me to delete the app altogether. I am sure these are still early stage teething issues that will be ironed out as the app grows. And I hope that this app doesn’t end up full of adverts, leading it to end up spoilt like insta and Snapchat have been over the last few years..Version: 0.21.0
✓ Won’t workUsed 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.Version: 1.10.0
✓ New log in methodThere needs to be a new way to get into your account if you get a new phone. The only way at the moment is if you have the same phone number and now my account is lost. They need to change this so people can log into their account another way. So stupid, now I’ve lost all my be real content..Version: 0.33.0
✓ My app is glitchingThe 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..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Can't get back into my accountI was really enjoying the app and even getting more and more friends onto it as well. I love that it wasn't curated, random, seeing a snapshot of what people were up to, it really changed my perspective but then it randomly started logging me out and when I tried to access it it said "hello let's get started" and I re-entered my details to try and get it through but it wasn't working, and at first it posted updates from my friends and then it stopped altogether and I can't get back into my account and I don't know what to do! I don't know what glitch it is, I closed it many times and restarted my phone and switched from mobile internet to wifi and nothing worked! I hope the developers sort it out!.Version: 0.22.1
✓ Had its timeI can’t speak for everyone, but as a Uni student, BeReal was great over Easter break because my friends and I could see what each other were doing. Now Easter break is over, the feed is less interesting and the network is still too new to have an enticing public section. I like the urgency of posting- I understand that it’s supposed to give people a healthier idea of what their friends are doing day-to-day, as apposed to mainstream social media which perpetuates users posting only the best, filtered and edited photos of themselves and their lives. This is done through an “on time” and “late” function, but it’s all sort of ruined because I have on more than one occasion sent the photo on time with 4G and full signal or full WiFi, only for the post to take 2+ hours to send. My friends have had similar issues. I hope this app can sort out some of its issues, because it’s a much healthier approach to social media- but my friends have started to stop posting and I fear that the hype is already on its way out..Version: 0.20.1
✓ Premise good but execution is poorI think the idea is great but there’s numerous issues. Firstly, upload times. Even on full bars WiFi it’s still a 50/50 if the image will actually upload. Drives me mad when I get a good picture on time and then it never uploads and just straight deletes itself. Secondly, the automatic front facing camera picture. It needs to be turn off able. I know the point of the app is pictures in the moment but that automatic usage of the front camera just feels invasive. Finally, make comments or captions editable as it’s a pain seeing a spelling mistake that you can’t change. Overall the app would be perfect if the execution was better and uploads were more optimised or got backed up somewhere if they failed to upload in time or if you didn’t have a signal/mobile data at the time you took a picture within the app..Version: 0.21.0
✓ Good but needs optimisingThis 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..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great idea, lot of bugsI 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..Version: 0.24.0
✓ Frozen AppSince 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.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Love BeReal but it’s frustratingly buggySometimes it simply doesn’t work on mi iPhone 14 pro.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Poor supportUPDATE: 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..Version: 0.23.3
✓ Can’t post a photo when I get the notificationI 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?.Version: 0.22.0
✓ Can we get more time zonesWould love to just choose my Timezone exactly, idk why it’s split between continents in the way it is, excludes a large amount of people and is confusing I would like to just choose +12 but I have to choose east Asia which is +8 which isn’t really the same.Version: 0.22.1
✓ It’s good but could be betterIt’s a good app and the concept is good but the execution isn’t very good. There should be an option for anyone in your friendship group to ping everyone else randomly or there should be an option to have more than one ping a day as to have more memories in one day (kind of like Snapchat). Also the notification settings on myself and all my friends phones don’t seem to buzz it just flags up as a notification and we 99% of the time miss it due to it being silent even though our phones are on loud / vibrate. I also think the time zones are completely wrong, we keep getting pinged so early in the morning or really late at night, for a European time zone what’s wrong with the afternoon 😂😂.Version: 0.17.1
✓ Im cheatingIm cheating on my bf on this app.Version: 0.26.1
✓ Constantly GlitchyI like the app, but almost every-time I open to take a late BeReal the app freezes and I can’t do anything..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Work on upgradesI 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..Version: 0.23.1
✓ 5 Stars up until this glitchI 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 :/.Version: 0.23.0
✓ Good but could be betterI love the idea of taking real photos of a snapshot of your day and sharing that with friends. It would be good to be able to go back and view not only the picture, but the comments. Currently you can only see comments up until the new days BeReal photo has been taken. Also maybe do a chart displaying the person who takes their photo soonest, on time. Great update - so now you get 2 more photo uploads if you post on time. The knock on to this though is even though I try to post on time, it looks like it’s gone through, then it shows the 2 more pics box, then it refreshes and my photo has gone and I get asked to post a late bereal! Please resolve this as it’s super annoying thank you!!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Great idea, okay executionI 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..Version: 0.22.5
✓ Great concept, needs workAbsolutely 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..Version: 0.22.5
✓ Can’t postI can’t post without uninstalling and redownloading the app, bc when i open the app it freezes and can’t do anything.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Good idea, app is buggedThe 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.Version: 0.22.4
✓ No South Pacific time zoneI live in New Zealand and we don’t have a time zone which reflects our time! Everyone gets notifications between 10pm and like 5am in the morning, and so everyone just posts the same thing when they wake up. When will our time zone be included?! So slack.Version: 0.23.0
✓ Keeps freezingFor the past week, every time the BeReal notification has gone off, I open the app and it’s frozen. I try closing and reopening and it’s still frozen. So I delete it and redownload it and it works to take that days BeReal, but then the next time it goes off, the app is frozen again. VERY annoying..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Doesn’t open for meApp was amazing before but it’s been like a month my app just doesn’t open. Tried deleting and downloading, updating app etc never worked again..Version: 1.1.1
✓ So badGave me cancer.Version: 0.24.0
✓ I love BeReal. butI 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?.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Lots of bugs, frustratingI 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..Version: 0.25.0
✓ Good idea bad executionMy friends and I downloaded this app for fun, but the time zones are all horrible for us. We just get pinged between 8pm-2am to post a picture. We all work, or have university so everyone either posts a pic in bed or skips that day. I thought it would be fun and during the day, not just a way to say goodnight to my friends sometimes. Sleepy app..Version: 0.22.4
✓ Communication & Logging inI would like to say the app performs pretty well. It runs smooth and pictures are uploaded on time as it should. However, the moment a problem occurs, the communication with the support team is pretty poor. Im currently locked out of my bereal account because i had bought a new phone. Being told to try "methods" instead of actual help was the killer for me. I've tried almost all the methods provided to me and none of which have worked. Also finding out on their website page, that you had to contact the bereal support team through the app you could no longer log into was even worse..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Cant get past the birthday part?I wanted to download the be real app as ive heard great things abt it so when i went to sign up at the birthday part i accidentally put 2008 as my birthday but changed it to my actual one 2004. Exept when trying to press the continue it would not let me and the continue button stayed greyed out, i have tried re downloading many times seeing if mabye that was the issue but still nothing? So when going to write this to ask for help i saw that its 12+ so even if i had put 2008 it still should have worked as my little sister is 13 as a 2008, this has left me very confused as i first thought the issue was me being too young from putting 2008 but now im completely stuck. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?.Version: 0.23.0
✓ GlitchesGreat app used to love using it to share and feel more connected with friends. Recently it has been glitching a lot and deleting any posts I put up no matter when or where. Will be removing from my phone sadly..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Signing inYou 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.Version: 0.24.0
✓ Good but needs improvementBeReal 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!.Version: 0.30.1
✓ Good but not good enoughIt is such a good app and it is brilliant although it is constantly glitching causing for me to miss my BeReal for example sometimes it sory gives me a minuet to post because the notification gets sent to my phone late, I personally believe the time for the notification should increase to 3 minutes or 2:30 because it takes time for the notification to be sent to everyone, therefore cutting into their BeReal time. Also if you are playing a song at the time of your BeReal when it goes off it doesn’t register and says there isn’t any music playing, yet when you take a late BeReal or one of your extra BeReal’s it does register. It also hasn’t saved some of my BeReal’s i got it on time yesterday and took 2 yet today it isn’t in my memories. I love BeReal and I do it everyday but it’s constantly lagging and glitching, I think that they should improve this..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Love it, but..The app isn’t bad! I’ve had it a little over a year and never had problems up till now ! my friend and I have a slight problem as of now- and it’s that BeReal won’t let us post when it’s time to..? We are stuck seeing that we posted late and still seeing stuff from yesterday, not being able to scroll or post anything if our own:(.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Fun idea but needs bug fixesGreat 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..Version: 0.22.0
✓ DisgustedAfter 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 🤩.Version: 0.29.0
✓ Buggy for how simple it isTLDR: 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..Version: 1.22.2
✓ Not a fan of the direction they're going inI 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..Version: 1.15.0
✓ Good fun but there’s several issues with itDownloaded this a few weeks ago for a bit of fun with my friends, unfortunately something happened and I fell out with some of them. I then removed them as a friends but would still get notifications that they were posting for several days afterwards. This is an issue because in the notification you can see their image, albeit small and blurry, and so likely they could see mine which I didn’t want and was why I removed them in the first place. Secondly 2/3 times a week I will post my BeReal (doesn’t matter if it’s on-time or late) but it will be stuck “uploading” for several hours before it’s eventually uploaded. I’m still able to see and react to others BeReals during this time, but it’s still rather frustrating!.Version: 0.20.1
✓ SadI don’t know what happened but it doesn’t let me share globally anymore? And when I go on discovery it only shows celebrities, I didn’t really care about celebrities and I thought the whole point was to see what REAL people were doing around the world. It let me make friends and find friends when sharing globally. At first I just thought it was a glitch and was fine with it but after posting a few days without it I’ve noticed it’s actually an update? Questioning that because I’m still not actually sure, im never really this serious about this stuff I swear💀and I’m not sure how many people have the update or whatever may be, but I just really want to know how to get back to the last one so I can use discovery again..Version: 1.1.1
✓ “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!.Version: 0.22.0
✓ Good in concept but some technical issuesI enjoy using this app and it’s concept. The app allows me (someone who ordinarily would not take many photographs) to capture more moments when I am out with my friends making memories. This for me makes the memories feature a very nice aspect to the app as I can view my memories efficiently. However I have encountered some quite frustrating issues. Firstly, a lot of the time when the timer goes off it may take a while for the photo to actually upload (possibly due to the nature of the app and how so many people are trying to upload photos at the same time, but I am not an expert). Secondly, many times I have taken a BeReal. and then subsequently left the app only to return later for the app to say I have not taken my BeReal. for the day (quite annoying as I’ve lost some really nice photos from this bug). Overall however I do enjoy the app and enjoy viewing my other friends BeReals..Version: 1.9.1
✓ App freezingEvery 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..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Horrible app nowEver since they introduced the 2+ BeReals in a day this app has gone down hill. Every single time there is a problem with posting or seeing my friends post. Every update you have made since has not changed a single thing about this app. At all. If this continues I don’t see myself using this app in the future. I love this platform and would hate to see it be ruined because of a crappy update..Version: 1.10.0
✓ ReallyWhy 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.Version: 0.25.2
✓ Fun w/ flawsI 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..Version: 0.22.1
✓ 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.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Bro whatI 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..Version: 0.22.4
✓ Work onsThink the idea of this app is amazing and has a really good idea to it. But I have just realised after getting all my mates to download it doesn’t work for us. We are all located in New Zealand and you guys only have three time zone options, therefore all of the “random” notifications come through during the night and we can’t do them on time 🥺, would be great if there was a pacific time zone but I guess not . Thought I would let you know that you could have more people using the app if you were more accomodating to the. Rest of the world.Version: 0.20.1
✓ Great idea, not great executionThe premise of this app is really good and I’ve enjoyed using it. In terms of the features it offers, I really can’t complain. It’s a great way to keep up with friends you haven’t seen in a while without going through the pain of small talk. However, the app itself really needs work. Uploading BeReals can take up to 15 minutes even when the photo is taken on time, and when it finally does upload, it tells all your friends that you posted late. Writing captions and leaving comments on friends’ posts often avails nothing except error messages and has to be attempted several times. Also, launching the app from the “2 minutes to post a BeReal!” notification often takes me to my feed instead of the camera, so that I have to force quit and relaunch the app for the camera to appear, at which point I’ve lost maybe twenty seconds I could’ve used to take a photo. These issues don’t really stop me from enjoying BeReal, but I don’t want to leave a five-star review for an app which only works properly half the time. Once the issues are patched, I will update accordingly :).Version: 0.20.1
✓ Cool but with issuesOk, I love the concept of the app. It allows us to see what our friends are doing in real time and not just some instagram post. However, it has some issues. Firstly, I think the time frame of posts should be able to be adjusted. It’s the holidays. No one is up at 9am. Are we supposed to send a bereal while sleeping? I think there should be a system in place to adjust this, probably with a minimum limit so people don’t abuse it. Or maybe the app could be integrated with Apple Health, so it knows when the user usually sleeps or wakes up. Second, bereal should first know our location for a few seconds before sending the notification. It has happened to me a few times that I got the notification while driving. This is very unsafe. Sometimes I was in traffic so I sent it anyway, but I’m not pulling my phone out on the highway..Version: 1.10.0
✓ 2 problems1. 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..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Concept is greatOkay, 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!.Version: 0.22.5
✓ BeReal used to be DIFFERENTI 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..Version: 1.22.2
✓ So many bugsLiterally every time I try to post a break these days it bugs out and it doesn’t work then I have to do it like three times and then none of them post but then three hours later they’re all there and I have now apparently used up all of my bereals for the day cos of the bug.Version: 1.12.1
✓ It’s good but there is room to improveThere’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 ✌️.Version: 0.25.2
✓ Cute but neggyI really like the concept of this app! The only problem I have that is the neggy comments when I’m taking a photo. Rubs me up a little bit the wrong way being asked to smile, get that enough in my daily life existing as a woman ☠️🙄.Version: 0.33.1
✓ Version 1.1.0 is brokenThe latest app update 1.1.0 version freezes every time I open the app! I can’t see anyone’s bereal and I can’t post a bereal.Version: 1.10.0
✓ BrokenHaven’t been able to post a bereal for a week, ruined my streak smh.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Bereal does not uploadEvery time i am taking my bereal within the 2 minute mark, the photo does not upload in time. It sometimes takes upto 7 full hours to upload, on wifi or mobile data. Not just me that has that problem too but people i know aswell. Needs to be fixed it ruins the fun of the app.Version: 0.23.0
✓ Bug fix neededLove 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..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Poor qualityConstant 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.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Please change your systemWhen i downloaded BeReal I thought it was gonna be a really fun app because all of my friends had it, but we need a phone number+date of birth it’s really difficult for me because i don’t have a sim😅 and i don’t reckon we should have a date of birth because it’s just a photo app right? So all i’m saying is please remove the phone number thing 🙏🙏🙏.Version: 0.26.1
✓ CANT CREATE ACCOUNT WITHOUT PHONE NUMBERApp 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...Version: 0.23.3
✓ Great idea, but probably the buggiest app I’ve ever usedIt’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.Version: 0.23.0
✓ Bugs are a huge problemI 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..Version: 0.22.4
✓ Could be betterI 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..Version: 0.20.2
✓ 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..Version: 0.25.1
✓ A great concept but lots of bugsI love the concept of the app, but the fact that it’s extremely buggy makes using it less pleasant to use. for example, notifications don’t arrive on time, making me post late. sometimes the capturing notification comes a few hours after it should have. front camera glitches often making the selfie pink and distorted. at times when commenting or reacting to friends’ posts, the comment or reaction just disappear for no reason. not to mention the long times of posting and getting a notification but not having an option to capture when opening the app. I think with the huge and growing user base the developers should use more resources to fix all the issues ASAP..Version: 0.22.1
✓ Be Freeze RealIt keeps freezing whenever I open the app. It only works when I delete and redownload. It’s such a pain! Please fix!!!.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Doesn’t work properlyI got the app last week and in that time i have only received the notification 3 times and the rest of the time it never comes. i have all my notifications on both my phone and the app itself turned on and haven’t changed time zones at all since getting it. it also does weird stuff like will show my friends bereals from like 4 days past as if they posted it today? so sick of it not working.Version: 0.30.1
✓ Can’t post a berealI 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..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Great in theoryI 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..Version: 0.23.0
✓ Buggy uploadingThe 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….Version: 1.9.1
✓ Glitch makes it unusableI used to love this app. Over the past 3 days I haven't been able to interact with the app. I'll take my photo for the day, it'll upload, be in my memories, but it won't appear in the daily feed. It'll act as if I haven't posted. All of my friends' posts are blurred, saying I need to post first. So I try again, and the upload fails, probably because there's already a post up. I'd really like this fixed. Also, please add more timezones. I can't even count the amount of times it's gone off in the middle of the night..Version: 0.33.1
✓ Novel, needs work but has great potentialI 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..Version: 0.20.2
✓ New Zealand time zone please!Such a great app, I just wish there was a New Zealand time zone. After downloading the app, I kept getting woken up in the early hours of the morning, because of the notification, took me a few days to realise it was Be real 😆. I love the app but it really needs more time zones..Version: 0.23.1
✓ App just gets worseI'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..Version: 2.1.0
✓ BrokenBeen broken since august. Every once and a while it freezes on the day before. Kinda sucks cuz i was consistent over a year with it and now im missing whole weeks because it just like freezes on the home page.Version: 1.10.0
✓ GlitchyUnfortunately very glitchy and crashes a LOT other than that a very very fun app.Version: 1.9.0
✓ The latest update created a bunch of bugsThe 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..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Concept isn’t something to fan out over…It’s supposed to be a stress free media outlet which is something I am all for but… - Having the app shout at you for being late and making you post a “late” be real isn’t the judgement free environment it promises plus it’s a rather poorly concealed attempt to addict people to opening it each day. - Having both cameras working isn’t something I like either. If I’m trying to take a selfie I don’t want my work or my room or my house in view either as parts may be embarrassing. - Unless you have thousands of friends added in a big community it’s really just better to message over literally any other app… want to see peoples faces Snapchat done! - The idea was good but it’s executed poorly with pathetic attempts to keep you drawn in. It’s has a unsatisfying aesthetic and is an overall horribly made app..Version: 0.20.1
✓ App’s been freezing latelyI 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.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Needs workWas good, but all of a sudden now I can’t post, it loads but then doesn’t upload. Can’t add a profile pic, I choose one and save it but it doesn’t show up. Please more time zones too and the notification keeps coming through within the same two hours everyday..Version: 0.23.0
✓ It’s gone downhill…So don’t get me wrong, I love BeReal; however the app isn’t what it used to be. Usually, my BeReals would post really quick no problem (they still do) and of course they used to save, whether they were on time or not! However, now if I take my BeReal it only saves if it wasn’t on time. For example, if my BeReal goes off, I do it, then I come back a little later (so I can take my last extra BeReals)… I open the app and it tells me to post a late BeReal! Even if I wait for a little bit (for the previous, on time, BeReal to show up) nothing changes: I guess my BeReal wasn’t saved? This has happened to many times and it’s kinda ruined the whole “capture the moment” vibes… I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing (since I haven’t experienced this until the recent 2 extra BeReals update) or the app itself. Please get this fixed, or at least help?….Version: 1.7.1
✓ Can’t even startI don’t have a phone number as I have severe anxiety when it came to having one. I wish I could use my ID or my email to confirm who I am. They should have an option for that since not everyone has a phone number. Not very exclusive, very disappointing..Version: 0.34.0
✓ The notification is intermittent3 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⭐️.Version: 0.22.1
✓ 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..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Good fun BUT GLITCHY TO HIGH HEAVENI love this app i find it really fun and a nice thing to do everyday whether you post late or not to see what your friends are up to. However, there are many bugs which I feel need to be fixed as it just makes the app extremely frustrating. Firstly, the upload error bug. I will get the notification, take my bereal, upload it and then for some reason it fails to upload. I then I have to close the app, take another and then my previous one appears uploaded. This isn’t so bad of a bug because I least my post does upload on time however it’s just a little annoying. Secondly, posting on time in a place with no signal. I understand that if you tried posting somewhere for instance on the train and came out of signal you wouldn’t be able to post, this is fine, apart from when you try to upload, it fails, and then doesn’t remember you’re bereal meaning it thinks you never posted on time which can very frustrating if you’re on a train to an event and you want those extra bereals for the time. Finally, inability to upload. Sometimes, i have no idea why, my bereals just tend to not upload, full stop, they just don’t want to and nothing changes it. I don’t know what could cause this bug but it’s very confusing and basically destroys the entire purpose of the app so isn’t great. Overall, really fun idea of an app, quite buggy but once fixed will just be a really well done, fun app..Version: 1.14.0
✓ It’s badStink wink dink flunk.Version: 0.31.0
✓ Add more time zonesThe idea of the app is really good except there needs to be way more time zones available. NZ is not south east Asia!!? Also my be reals keep deleting when I post them on time and often won’t even let me repost another one as they continue to be deleted..Version: 0.23.0
✓ Loved it till I didn’tSo, 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!!.Version: 1.10.1
✓ Poor DevelopersVery poorly developed app. I like the concept for no filler and a certain time of the day but what’s the point of that time of the day the app becomes completely useless and you can’t take the BeReal. And just to add to that, some they stated adding new features, one of them was if you take one on time then you get two free BeReals later in the day but if the app can’t even let me take one photo and post it, then how else am I gonna be able to post other BeReals? They really need to hire someone who knows to build a proper functioning app. I m not supposed to delete and install the app every time it decides it doesn’t want function, which already happens way too often. How come this is the only app which stops all functioning and you have delete and reinstall, and God Forbid if you can’t do that in the 2 minutes you get the notification.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Won’t postI 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..Version: 1.7.0
✓ PrivacyI 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.Version: 1.19.1
✓ 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?.Version: 1.10.1
✓ I can’t accept friend requestsI do really like this apps concept but there’s some bugs I have encountered that make it unusable in some cases. One of these is that I am literally unable to accept friend requests. A few friends were accepted when I first downloaded the app but the ones that were sent afterwards cannot be accepted. I’m just left with a loading screen around where the accept button is that doesn’t change: I’ve waited 5+ minutes, restarted the app, redownloaded the app but nothing works. Another annoyance I’ve found is that posts can take very long to upload. I have had instances where it’s taken a couple hours to upload. I’m pretty sure it’s not my wifi and since I saw a review with the same issue I imagine it’s a bug. Fix these bugs and I think it will become a very good app..Version: 0.20.2
✓ A suggestion…Just one thing that would make it better… is the ability to share my one app across two devices as I use one for work and the other stays in my bag so I miss the notification.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Needs to be updatedI really like this app, it’s something new and unfiltered and in the moment but I have issues that when you get the notification to upload, you open the app but there’s no button to straight away upload, you have to wait for the app to come up with a prompt to do it always takes over 5 mins to load :( also then once you’ve managed to get your picture and upload it, it takes ages to upload it, I opened the app the second I got my notification today but had to wait for the prompt for 40 mins while closing and reopening the app to see it that fixed it, finally took the pic and it’s still trying to upload it now, if these problems were fixed I think it would be a very cute and personal app xx.Version: 0.21.0
✓ Annoying appI 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!!!!.Version: 1.10.0
✓ App frozen everytime it opensEach day i open the app, if not posting on time, the app is frozen and doesn’t allow me to click on anything. the only way the app works again is by deleting it, however i have had to continuously do this daily and it is frustrating..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great app but it has an extremely problematic bugI 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..Version: 1.9.1
✓ Consistently Crashes Without Fail.Bereal used to be great. Now every time you try and use it the app crashes. Deleting the app..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Time zonesLove the app but would like a time zone option for the pacific/Oceana area. I live in New Zealand and use the east Asia time zone but the time that it asks to post is still not ideal lol. Also there’s been whole days missed and then I’ve had to take two in one day 🤔 I still love the app and the idea though, it’s really cool.Version: 0.25.2
