BeReal is not good (most appropriate way i could say this). It is a Privacy nightmare. Just think about it, a bunch of random strangers are getting access to every single day what you and your family are doing. I know nobody is concerned about privacy anymore. Seems like we have lost that but still Also BeReal has a bunch of Ads. And since the inclusion of Ads bereal has quickly lost in popularity. If you are searching for a Alternative, you should try out DD-DigitalDiary It doesn’t have a lot of the features like social sharing. It is basically a journaling application. But still could be a good alternative. Also there was another app Minutaie which first started this trend so i suggest you should also check it out
I just find the format itself pointless. Not only does that encourage oversharing (including images of your face, which for me is a big no-no), but also doesn’t allow expressing yourself. You can pretty much only state facts like “I cooked pancakes today”. Not express your thoughts and skills, like a wall of text on hidden meanings in Squidward’s music. Even in a simple photo report, choosing how and when to take photos is most of the art, while randomized timing deprives you of that.
I used it when it came out for a while, it was really nice coming from Instagram or Facebook where everyone tailors their posts around successes or glam shots. BeReal was cool because it sends a notification once a day for when you can post your photo, and you have to take it then.
It ended up being a lot of people just sitting in bed or watching TV, which gave me a lot of satisfaction seeing nobody does social things 24/7.
I give it a lot of credit for giving me the push to quit social media altogether to be honest
