June 2026 update: So glitchy, all the time. Down to one star. * Super buggy. I'll take a snap on time, get the upload message, and then the photo is gone and I need to take another one. | EDIT: Added a star because it's less buggy than it was but still has issues. | November 2024: Back to the opening review - The first picture I take always disappears. Took a star away. This app has one job. 🙄
app logged me out wouldn't let me back in
thanks for spoiling the world cup games for me without me ever asking for that.
Soccer notifications without providing a setting to disable them. This has got to be a Play Store policy violation.
I thought I'd update this review a third time, to show they efficiently replaced their low quality of life bugs with new ones. So over the weekend I made 3 bereals, tagged people, reposted theirs. then a friend asked me to send him one. apparently beReal didn't save any and now pretends none of us posted the weekend. on top of that, it constantly gives me notifications about comments or emojis but then I have to restart the app 10times before it even shows me those things. devs hate their users
waste app
the updates for soccer were forced upon my app and never wanted or asked for!
I cannot download any of my old bereals. Having access to pictures is one of the primary purposes of this app. what the heck
De nieuwe voetbal update is kei vervelend. Zelfs bij het uitzetten van de meldingen krijg je toch nog updates over de scores.
kenapa beda cuk ama iphone
cant download or even share my bereal post wth? it keeps on saying something is wrong but ive literally uninstalled and redownloaded the video like hundred of times already.
why don't I have the feature to upload videos? 👎👎 so wrong to only give people with an iPhone access to that feature
Why TF are you spamming me with soccer updates now??? App is fine now, the crashes have been fixed. It's full of ads now which is a bit annoying but I guess it's free so whatever
It sends advertisements and spam via push notifications, very disturbing. Also unwanted commercial fake profiles are always shown, more prominent that my real friends. Now it even starts to send Football WM Goal notification that I did not enabled.
Always buggy and continuous notification spam
soccer notifications and general soccer focused design rn are making me wanna delete the app.
why did I get a notification for a sport championship run by some random billionaires?
if you dont have premium 1 pictures per day? the hell? i only use this app to screenshot and post the screenshot on ig. i don't get this hype
stop changing the layout every week omg.
1 star for spamming me with World Cup notifications I never asked for nor agreed to. I do not care!
the only notification I got today was that I was late to take a BeReal. I was never notified that it was time to BeReal. this app is so buggy it's unusable.
The only thing that is always working is ads - annoying inapropriate ads. Camera has been better lately. Notifications got worse and worse.
I don't understand the point of this app lol there are no cards to swipe, and there's already Snapchat?
Fui usuario de bereal por casi tres años, luego borré la app porque mi celular no tenía espacio. ahora que me compré uno nuevo, la instalé pero no me envía el código para iniciar sesión. cuando pongo mi número de teléfono, el botón de enviar simplemente no funciona. necesito ayuda
This app used to be really fun... then came the updates and completely ruined the fun experience, it's basically become Snapchat without the funny filters and with lots of ads you can privately message people now and privately send pictures as well which is stupid and ruins the whole point of the app. my suggestions get rid of the ads make it so you can't privately message people go back to 3 bereals of your on time and one if your late this will bring back the nostalgic part of the app
doesn't work well on android for me
It's a bit annoying you HAVE to continually post pictures to see friends pictures. Really thinking of dumping the app due to this alone.
I was hopeful on this app as a replacement of insta but no way I'm giving my cell phone number just to sign up to a s9ciap media app. People don't realize giving cell number is basically same thing as giving ID.
Not getting memory notifications, please fix
yall can do better add other way to login and stop banding people for no reason girls be post full body pictures in bikin they don't get banned i but wen I guy does they get banned
Having to post something in order to see a friend's post is just silly... I get that the creators want to encourage engagement but this is like creating a paywall.
Too many ads. Update June 2026: Unsolicited notifications for a FIFA event. Uninstalled.
how do I stop getting notifications about soccer? I will delete my account and uninstall this stupid app if you don't stop sending me. notifications Everytime there's a soccer score.
why cant i find a widget for this app on my s24? the most fun thing is the widget, why did you guys remove it?
Love the app, but the newest update is abysmal! I have missed every BeReal because of the new notifications.
Why not other countries like underdeveloped has problem in creating account. Why there is no option to attach Gmail with it
Was interested in the app. The phone number of my country is not valid, unfortunately 😔
it's okay. i wish there was a way to translate other language comments so I can know what they're saying. 🤔
