The app glitches or gets slow sometimes but usually works great! ### 3/5 — Not too great of an experience *2026-08-20, version 4.88.1* Incredibly laggy, almost missing the time on my BeReal due to the lagginess of the software. Ads are everywhere and too often, I’d rather pay a very small subscription or once off payment to get rid of them. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-19, version 4.88.0* Perfect way to connect with friends ### 5/5 — so love this app *2026-08-19, version 4.87.0* i love this app so much ### 4/5 — It’s midly cool I guess *2026-08-19, version 4.87.0* It’s basically Facebook you have a streak all you see is people doing stuff with a photo kinda a waste of time for some people it’s awesome but for me, it’s giving Facebook ### 3/5 — eh. *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* i honestly love this app but it’s genuinely takes a lot of space and it needs more room for the bio i think. and my bereal has just been glitchy and just won’t work for right now but still love this app ### 5/5 — amazing memories *2026-08-18, version 4.87.0* perfect way to capture memories that you’ll never fail to look back on fondly. means a lot to me to have an app like this where i actually capture real parts of my life ### 5/5 — Be real *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* You see friends and make some too ### 5/5 — 67 *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* 67 ### 5/5 — BeReal *2026-08-18, version 4.87.0* it was my way to connect with my friends over the summer and really helped me stay connected. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* I don’t like reposts of the same BeReal on different users ### 3/5 — fav person finder *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* pretty awesome app. love 1 single person i met on there ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-08-23, version 4.88.1* I tried to long into my account and it needed a code to sign in, yet they didn’t feel the need to send me a code. Extremely frustrating and they need to fix this pronto, very dissatisfied and will never spend my time on this stupid bad dumb app ever again!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Sarky comments *2026-08-21, version 4.88.1* I’ve stopped using bereal as have my friends. I can’t speak for them, but I really dislike the sarky comments when you use it, eg ‘get back to the real world’. Not a good idea bereal! ### 1/5 — Dear bereal you ruined my life *2026-08-19, version 4.88.0* It went off in school i got suspended ### 1/5 — that's a bye *2026-08-19, version 4.88.0* i've been using the app for so long and kept losing my streak when i go abroad and can't log in and verify my number recently there's a function for you to verify your emaol and for some odd reason it kept saying my email is wrong??? and i never once got that verification email. One day for some reason, i couldnt see anything after posting my pictures and my streak was gone and i reached out to the people to help they suggested i remove the app and reinstall. I did and tried to log in it said i was new here lol my account was gone and i guess it's a bye bye ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* The ads are quite annoying, some just ridiculous ### 1/5 — False Countdown *2026-08-18, version 4.88.0* I literally clicked on the countdown prompt when the notification popped up & the BeReal I took even said it was “on time”…now it’s labeled as “8 minutes late” & won’t give me the extra 5 posts for being on time. It’s not the first time this happens, what’s the point of being on time if you’re not gonna honour it? That’s not being real…🙄 ### 1/5 — Oh nah *2026-08-17, version 4.88.0* This app has an unnecessary log in process nobody gaf abt bereal that much to do all ts ### 1/5 — Ccfff *2026-08-15, version 4.87.0* Bro I am so sick of this fricking boring app giving me a random notification every 5 hours ### 1/5 — It’s great but turn off streaks *2026-08-15, version 4.87.0* It’s a very simple way of keeping in touch with people and the draw is how it’s not a strain on your mental health. Please turn off streaks Update: I get 5 notifications a day about streaks now AND YOU CANT TURN IT OFF So many unwanted notifications Thanks for the canned response and all the unwanted notifications! Update 2: I do contact in the app and don’t get responses Update 3: the contact section in the app won’t load for me anymore Update 4: why do I get more responses here than in the app? Update 5: ads for Facebook showing up in my feed. Why are yall advertising for your competitors? Update 6: they added doomscrolling and it’s terrible. I just want to see my friends Update 7: I have streak notifications turned off and still get it Update 8: getting the daily notification now goes to a full screen ad instead of the one thing this app does well ### 1/5 — 👎👎 *2026-08-15, version 4.87.0* My steak was over 50 and I’ve been doing it every day and then it just reset it to 1 but I haven’t missed a day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesomeeeeee *2026-08-23, version 4.88.1* Awesomeness! ### 5/5 — BeReal is the best choice for what you are looking for!! *2026-08-23, version 4.88.1* This app is amazing to connect with others and have fun with your friends. If you are looking for an app like this I would recommend using BeReal for the best experience! ### 5/5 — really like this app *2026-08-22, version 4.88.1* i love using this app to remember memory and to keep my streak when i don’t have popular apps ### 5/5 — Stories *2026-08-22, version 4.88.1* This is one of my favorite apps. But I think it could use stories like from Instagram and it doesn’t even have to be like every day. It could be like where are you post your story on like a Sunday where it’s the end of the week and you can show what happened in your week. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-22, version 4.88.1* I just love this ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-21, version 4.88.1* This is a fun way to show your friends what you’re doing, or to even make new friends! I love this app so much, and I use it on a daily! Recommend for sure!! ### 5/5 — good! *2026-08-20, version 4.87.0* i’ve been on br for 426+ days and i really like it especially when i wasn’t aloud to have snap, it kept me connected w my friends and stuff! ### 5/5 — Love BeReal *2026-08-20, version 4.87.0* I love taking a BeReal and still shocking people with the outcome. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-20, version 4.87.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — BeReal *2026-08-20, version 4.88.1* An amazing app to connect with your friends and meet new people😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
