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 lengthsShow lessleviduncan93
Issue after Updating?
after i updated the app, i’m still getting all the notifications, but when i go to the app, i’m just faced with the loading wheel of doom, nothing happens. i’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, logged in and out etc and it’s made no difference. how can this be fixed?happygoose124
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 :/Show lessehuss
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.Show lessmakennawarren
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.Show lesscoconut oil&fries on the sides
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.Show lessBattery issues?
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.Show lessanzeeak
Almost revolutionary
I've found this app to be very versatile for my social life as I can see what my friends are doing in their days without having to start a convocation along with the reaction feature where u can capture a live moment (most pull a funny face) this app is great to start convocation too instead of asking what they did that day you can ask how was what they did as you already know a little glimpse of what they are up to , also a pretty cool way to catch up with family and people you may not see or be so close to
Would defo recommend to all and also to add all the fit birds on your suggested/may know page it will boost your game 100x
My only criticism is the lack of npc players to add I've been very curious of them lately and would love to be able to study them through this app as they can be somewhat intimidating in public .Show lesscheekychaps24
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 stateBumschneef
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.Show lesshankisdankis1973
