I love that it encourages sharing your real life instead of a curated highlight reel. I like that it shows you a personal monthly recap. I don't like that photos disappear the next day. I wish the history of all my posts/photos could be seen by my friends when they visit my profile. I don't understand the point of making the photos ephemeral. I wish I could write a longer caption/description for photos. I don't know how many characters it caps at, but it's quite low.

Always loved the app and experienced no problems at all. But lately it stopped posting my first BeReal, so I always had to take a second BeReal. Now I don't even get a notification anymore. Even deleting and reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, reseting notification settings or restarting the phone doesn't help. So I can't actually be "real" anymore...

Hi Milan, we’re sorry to read your review. If your BeReal gets deleted, try capturing another within 2 minutes - you can still share a Bonus BeReal. Regarding the notification issue, please let us know if it was a notification "Time to BeReal" or all notifications by contacting us at 📫️contact@bere.al. Talk soon, BeReal Support 😜️

Since the new update (02/05) the app doesn't open after I tap on a notification, instead I am met with an indefinite black screen. The same issues from my earlier review are still problems. Fun app, but about half the time I don't get the notification. When I do get it and click on it immediately when my phone is unlocked, it usually starts counting around 1:22 instead of 2 minutes.
