Uhhhh
Really boring now
Required posts gets old fast
My friend moved to a foreign country and chose to use Be Real to communicate with all of us. If I want to see what they’re up to I am required to post a photo every time. Often I don’t have time to look until late at night, so if I want to catch up with my friend I am forced to post a horrible shot of my dirty bedroom and me in bed. It is ridiculous that I can’t see anything on this stupid app unless I post first. Every single day. And if there’s a way around it, it is not obvious.
can’t see time stamps
new update, can no longer see the time stamps of your bereals
Keeps turning on notifications that I turn off
Deleted the app because it kept turning on notifications after I turned them off. I just want to have the time BeReal goes off and that’s it
Like cat I eat
Nice yummy
The ads destroyed it
BeReal was a super fun app until the added ads. I would literally pay money for an ad free version
Used to be great, massively dropped off recently
BeReal was great when it first came out. It was fun to see what your friends were up to without having to log into a social media account like facebook where you’d be inundated with garbage and slop. Now BeReal is full of ads and is barely any different from facebook. I opened it today and there’s an ad for an olivia rodrigo concert. can’t use the app at all until you interact with it. they’ve lost their way and no one i know uses it anymore as a result. should be a surprise to no one
Buggy
I’ve lost multiple streaks due to glitches that they either never respond to or just won’t reinstate
Ruined the app
Yall ruined the app w all the stupid ads especially AI generated ones, also by taking of the pull down method and being able to select which be reals u wanted to see, yall did end up bringing it back but it’s just not the same rip be real

App won’t even open
Every time I try to open the app it’s notifies me “something went wrong…can’t load your profile “
Frustrated
I used to love this app. It was such a great way to stay connected to my family, but now I can’t post or access other’s posts unless I add 15 friends. I don’t want people outside my family or close friends having access to the “real” moments of my daily life. This defeats my purpose for using the app.
Don’t download this
They stole the concept from another app creator. SHAME on you.
I use it every day but customer service won’t reply
I love this app and it’s very intimate compared to the other social media apps. I saw that one of my friends was able to repost memories from bereal directly on our feed, and I asked her how she did it and she showed me. When I tried to do it on my end it wouldn’t work even though I have memories from the past four years. I tried contacting be real several times on this manner and there’s no reply. Hopefully writing this review will get me some insight on how I can repost my bereals on the app.
