A BeReal alternative for friend groups
BeReal shows you what your friends are doing when the notification goes off. RollCall gives your group something to do: one photo challenge a day, and a punishment for anyone who misses it. Free on iPhone, with no ads.

Everyone gets the same challenge
A new prompt lands each day and stays open for hours, so you have time to do it properly.
Fake-cry like you just lost an Oscar
Post yours to see everyone else's

Miss it and you spin for a punishment
Everyone adds punishments to the group's list. Miss the challenge and one gets picked at random.
You have 48 hours to post a photo as proof, or you sit out that group until you do.
Stars and streaks move you up the leaderboard

Questions
What's a good app like BeReal for friend groups?
RollCall is a free iPhone app like BeReal, made for friend groups. Everyone gets the same photo challenge each day, friends star their favourite posts, and anyone who misses it spins for a punishment from the group's list.
How is RollCall different from BeReal?
BeReal asks you to capture your day when its notification arrives. RollCall asks everyone in your group to answer the same photo challenge. Friends star their favourite posts, streaks help your score, and missing a challenge means spinning for a punishment from your group's list.
Do I have to post within two minutes on RollCall?
No. RollCall challenges stay open for hours, so you can post any time during your group's challenge window. BeReal gives you two minutes to post on time and marks later posts as late.
Can I try RollCall with my BeReal friends?
Yes. Download RollCall on iPhone, create a group and send your friends an invite link. They'll need their own RollCall accounts. It's a separate app, so your BeReal photos and friends don't transfer.
