1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Don’t get this app if you don’t want to pay. Genuinely no point there’s barely anything you can do your video diaries are one second long that’s crazy and I had already filmed like three days thinking that my videos were longer than when I looked back. It had only saved one second from them this app is literally no point if you’re not gonna pay for it which is just crazy

   App Updates removed 60fps exports. (May 2026 Edit) I’ve used this app for over 10 years. I’ve loved it, but the newest updates have made the video quality worse! I’ve had the feature to export my snippets in 60 fps for years. It used to be a toggle. Now that toggle has been removed not only for 4K exports (Paying for Pro) but also for 1080p exports. I want my memories to last by having the best quality videos by recording everything in 4K 60fps. But unfortunately 2025/2026 projects will look WORSE because the devs won’t fix this. I’ve tried to work with support on this many times but they haven’t been helpful. Maybe it’s time to try another app. ———————————————- I love this app! I used it most of 2013 and compiled my first year of snippets together. I love going back and watching it again and again. I love most the idea of recording 1 second to help me reflect later, rather than losing the opportunity to enjoy the moment at hand. Thank you!

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Photos black. All photos coming in as black now. Awful.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ignores notification settings. App completely disregards the in app notification settings and nags you endlessly to open the app.

5. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Slow laggy app. Numerous times I’ve missed moments bc the app takes forever to open or won’t stop recording so I’ll have to close the app which doesn’t save the video. Also doesn’t appear to be a way of saving the whole video in a single recording. For example, if you record a 30 second video, you can only save the 1 or 1.5 second clip.

6. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Deleted all my progress. I am so disappointed. I created a digital everyday photo album of my progress with my braces across 1 year and towards the end all of my photos were randomly deleted. No, I didn’t delete them. Yes, I had an account. It was an awful and stressful experience for me because all of my effort was lost. The concept was very nice but why waste time if it’s all going to be randomly deleted one day?

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   worst update ever. i bought this app for $5 in 2017. it was simple and purposeful. now it is filled with capitalist garbage. i can’t even navigate the app. I can’t believe it has a feed with ads. it has truly completely lost its purpose.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Last update too confusing. Why was the option to watch your entire project taken away? Makes zero sense. There’s too much going on with the update. We don’t need to see “memories” like every other app. Simplify it. It’s doing too much

9. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Deleted Everything. Tried to access my old projects, and all were deleted. Garbage app.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    26.3 breaks compatibility with old version. 26.3 breaks compatibility with old version of app. Make sure you export all data before upgrading.

11. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Poor App. App crashes so had to delete and reinstall. Lost entire project. Waste of time.

12. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    great app, terrible customer service. I’ve been using this app for five years and have loved it, but it stopped working randomly this January. I tried everything to troubleshoot the issue, but nothing worked. I contacted customer support but was left without a solution for several weeks and was told over and over to try the same troubleshooting measures. Below is the message I sent to the team expressing my frustration. Hi, I recently traded in my iPhone 12 for a newer iPhone, and the problem seems to have resolved itself. I would imagine the app was having a compatibility issue with the iPhone 12. Although the problem resolved itself, I have to admit I was extremely frustrated with the lack of help that I received from your team in troubleshooting this issue. I would go several days without a response and, when I did get a response, I would be asked to do over the same troubleshooting measures I had already done. This went on for a few weeks and was incredibly frustrating. It’s a wonderful app, but I would strongly suggest reworking your customer support methods to better ensure customer satisfaction. I appreciate your time. Like I said, this app is a wonderful tool, but is pretty much useless if you run into any tech issue as the support team is hard to reach and largely unhelpful.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DONT UPDATE. The update for three weeks ago says that they did bug fixes but what they did is make it so that you can't upload two clips now and only one unless you pay! they have downgraded the app unless you pay monthly

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Put the record button back on the dashboard.. This app isn’t worth it. Put👏🏼the👏🏼record👏🏼button👏🏼back👏🏼on👏🏼the👏🏼dashboard👏🏼 Put the record button back on the dashboard. Put the record button back on the dashboard. Put the record button back on the dashboard. Put the record button back on the dashboard. Put the record button back on the dashboard. STILL A YEAR LATER AND ITS STILL NOT THERE. I missed so much last year because you have to hit 5 buttons and go to Mordor and back just to record a freaking ONE SECOND video. It takes longer to get to get to the camera button than it does to record the video. Like seriously, WTH, why are you making this so difficult and frankly unpleasant?? And yes, I put this on that suggestion thing in the app but lo and behold, you ignore it.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    You must be kidding…. Deleted the app before even starting because of FOURTEEN interface pages attempting to sell new users on why we should spend $49.99 for the “pro” version of the application. Absolutely ridiculous, and an extremely poor initial UX. The proliferation of developers scrambling for whatever bit of money they can make by excessive advertising in-app is destroying the connected device experience, and this one is no exception.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Update Cleared a project. Initially really enjoyed the app! I paid for it an it’s been fun. I’ve been creating a project for my newborn for the year. I got an update and it removed the project and I can’t find it anywhere. Please fix this and help me get my project back.

17. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Highly upset, plz fix. I just opened the app and I noticed it’s been updated. I don’t mind the update but there’s major flaws to it. Because I can no longer see all my memories and I cannot log in my day to day memories. When I click the icon “project” it’s a blank screen.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Original paid pro. I paid for pro when this first came out and all the features have locked me out. It’s so unfair to make a paid user have to be a subscriber now. Made my own free alternative. You lost me after 7 loyal years✌️

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Lost everything. I’ve been actively adding pictures to a project for months. I guess there was a new update and I lost everything. Really wish I hadn’t paid for the lifetime subscription now. Incredibly disappointed

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    You have to pay. This is so insane. Actually abysmal use of the free market. You have to pay to use the app. I’ll just record a second every day on my phone and every 6 months take them and input them into a FREE piece of software and do the same thing they are offering for nothing. You people should actually look at what you are doing and realize just how horrible it is. What a service you are providing!!

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    bad. app notification made my phone vibrate -fell into water

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid. I cant remove The subscription screen ! I cant get through it ! What if i dont want to pay for pro version?!

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Confusing!. Hey I just downloaded the app and I don’t want to subscribe to anything. I know several people that have the app and they do not pay for anything and still enjoy it. But when I first opened the app it popped up with a subscription sign up page, and I can’t find any way to actually get into the app without subscribing. PLEASE HELP. I’ve tried reloading the app and everything but nothing works.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t access full watch. I’ve had this app for years I pay for it monthly, but I can’t figure out how to watch everything at once. It’s a scam. Don’t use it.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Great App | Ridiculous Pricing. I’ve used this app for several years now. You used to be able to watch ads to support the use of premium features. They recently removed this option, opting to simply block those features unless you pay prices that are ridiculous given the functionality of the app.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App but won’t allow you to change consent to precise data. The app constantly has a popup asking me to enable precise location data, but there’s a bug that won’t let me actually change the preferences. Breaks the app entirely. The app responded to my review saying I need to contact support, but I have tried several times and there is absolutely no response. After the recent update it still prevents you from changing the toggle.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Horrible Customer Service. I recently got a new phone so I was redownloading everything I had. One of the things I used daily was this video diary. I was having trouble locating which email I had to log in and when I finally logged in, I didn’t see any of my photos. That’s when I reached out for help because that couldn’t be right. To find out the email I used to sign in was actually the right email to log in with. I had 3 years worth of memories and customer service barely helped me. It’s been over a week and instead they just send me links of things I already knew. Basically I paid for pro for years and lost 3 years of everything. Cancelled my subscription and won’t be using this app again due to their incompetence

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Frustrating customer service. I pay the subscription fee to use “pro” features and I’m now unable to log in saying my email is not recognized. I’ve reached out to customer service daily, which I understand is not a live chat, and I’ve received one question in response with no resolution to my problem in the past 6 days. I’m frustrated that I’m being billed and unable to use app or receive any assistance.

29. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Lost videos. I got a new phone and the 10 years worth of videos I’ve been doing with your app are now gone are y’all able to contact me to help fix this?

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    ?? Dumbest sh¡+ ever?!. Why would I pay almost $50 a year to watch ads before I take a one second LIVE PHOTO once a day? — The iPhone come w/ Live Photo feature already, morphing them all into one video really isn’t the hardest but would probably be more convenient if the app costed a few bucks before you charge monthy.. what is the point? If I am missing something please explain. Thank you!
