Ratings and reviews

LOVE the concept and it's a great way for me to keep in touch with my friends, but the app is pretty glitchy. Edit: it has gotten much more glitchy to the point that it is impossible for me to post on time. I receive notifications late, and the first time I take a photo when it's within the two-minute window, it never uploads. I have to retake the photo until it is late, and then it finally posts. It is also very slow to load other people's photos.

most time the notification doesn't give me enough time to be real, but luckily the penalty for being late isn't too bad. *(only 2 bereals instead of 4 or 5) but the worse part is that the camera acts up, so I often have to shoot the same picture twice for it to upload and count, wasting precious seconds. *(it only gives you two minutes once the notification arrives)

This app used to be a lot of fun, but its quality has greatly declined. It's next to impossible to post on time, since the app rarely gives notifications on time and even when it does, the app takes forever to start up and usually needs to be restarted once or twice before it will actually let me take the BeReal. There are ads, too, now, which is understandable, but they should not default to playing sound especially when the rest of the app is fairly quiet
