  • 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..
  • Be Real acting up and I can’t even tag people on my be real.

    I like the app BeReal, it would just be amazing to see more features put on this app and especially ways to tag people on be real.

    I like this app, I really do. I just want to see more features put on this app, more effort to make this app better.

    I can most likely say I like the app be real, and I am certain lots of others like this app a lot too.

    It would be more fun, I am not saying that it isn’t fun because it is, I like be real because when your be real has been on the be real app for over 24 hours you’re not just gonna be able to throw a picture in be real and say something like “hey this is what I’ve been up to”, you have to recreate your be real. You actually show off what your doing it is kinda old school, I’m not an old school person however I can admit that I do know no one wants to spend all day on the phone (especially if they’re a busy person).

    I mean honestly you don’t even have to caption a be real unless you really want to say what you’re up to.
    The only downfall about the app be real for me is:
    1) it’s lagging pretty badly. (I’m not sure if it’s a server issue or an app issue, but it should be addressed.)
    2) it’s hard to find people that I know on Be real, this should be addressed in the next update.
    3) It doesn’t let you tag people on a be real, I like to tag who I’m with so I would like this updated asap please.
    Many things could be changed.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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! 😊

  • Interesting Concept

    I think the concept of this app is intriguing and attempts to show the reality of what we do — unfiltered and realistic. At the moment it’s exciting as it’s a novelty, however I feel that once this wears off, it won’t be interesting anymore. I guess we’ll see how it goes!
  • 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

  • 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!!!!

  • Lots of Fun

    for some reason i don’t get notifications when the actual bereal goes off but i get the rest of them. other than that really fun to take and see other peoples posts.
  • 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! :))
