  1. 5/5One of three excellent memoir tools...

    I’m writing a memoir about the last year and a half in which I was diagnosed with leukemia in a routine yearly doctor’s visit. It has been an amazing experience from diagnosis to remission. Unfortunately, I didn’t journal during it and I’m reconstructing the journey with this app for a visual reconstruction using its calendar view (it’s amazing how different photos are experienced when they’re presented on a month-at-a-glance calendar vs a list or gallery view), and PhoneView to download all my texts which I imported and sorted with Excel. The third tool is My Wonderful Days. I am using this in a similar way to Collect except texts/conversations are presented in calendar view... very helpful in accurately recreating what I thought was an unforgettable experience. It is an unforgettable experience, AND having the details available is priceless.

  2. 4/5Important app for non-scrapbookers/journalers

    This app is the perfect way for someone like me to document my life and my family’s lives, without too much effort and without having to over-post on social media. I paid for the upgrades. A few issues and changes I’d like to see: -When choosing my pics for the day, I’d like to be able to put them in my preferred order. I always select them in the order I want, but they rearrange to the order they are in in my camera roll. This means that the main photo that represents the day to me does not end up being the one I see for the day in calendar view. -An important one: the days that I journal on the back of a photo do not appear to be marked in any way. Going back, I have to flip each photo around to see if I wrote anything on the back of it. In calendar view, there should be a little pen icon on days that have journaling included. -There appears to be a glitch when I upload photos with a different date. Sometimes I will receive photos from someone the day after an event. Or I will download them from social media. So they will be saved to my camera roll on a date later than they were actually taken. When I go to document them in Collect, it notices that the dates differ and asks if I want to save it under the ‘correct’ date. I say ‘no thanks’, meaning, I want it to save to the date that I already selected, and then it changes the date to something two or three days earlier. Why would it do this?! It took me trying to save photos from my grandpas memorial many times over two days to finally figure out that I could go ahead with the completely wrong date and then correct the date on each photo. 👎

  3. 4/5I’ve been using this app since 2014.

    I’ve been a big fan of this app since I first started using it in 2014. I use it as a photo collection diary. I take at least one photo a day. I have so many memories on this app and I love the feature of tagging my photos. I use this to tag my photos into categories. My one recommendation for this app to be improved would be if tagging bulk photos would be easier. Instead of clicking on the details on each photo during the draft picks of bulk photos, then clicking on each detail, assigning the tag, etc. I’d love the ability to tag a bulk of photos all at once. Instead of having to tag each photo with the same tag, which is time consuming. For example, I have 9 photos I upload for today that all have to do with my plant growing progress. I tag all 9 of these photos under the tag “plants”, I’d love for an easier way to tag all these at once, rather than having to click on the details of each photo having to go thru 4/5 steps to tag each photo. Or maybe perhaps on the draft page when picking the photos there could be an icon button for “tag” next to the icons of “crop, details, remove”. The icon “tag” would be useful here making the tagging feature much easier and quicker to use in less steps.

  4. 5/5Best journal app ever!!

    I've been using this app for several years now to journal my favorite moments of the day. I absolutely love it! It is super easy to use and it keeps all my memories in one place. I have 4 kids, so it is easy to find something to post everyday. And if I forget, I can go back and fill in my missed days super easy. I can even tag the photo, which allows me to search posts easily. This will make it easy to pull up stuff for their graduation or wedding! 😜 It will even play a slide show of your posts which is fun. The only thing I wish I would add/change would be the ability to export all my posts into a photo book! That would be amazing!! Please add that!!

  5. 5/5Great for collages. Terrible for video.

    I have been using this app for keeping track of my photo of the day for the last 2-3 years. I bought the video pack last night to make a slideshow of my photos for April. I tried 6 times to upload it to Instagram and it fails every single time. I don't know what the problem is but I created a slideshow with a different app and it uploaded perfectly fine to Instagram with no issues. The link for app support here on the store doesn't point to an actual website for the developer. The feedback form in the app throws errors and says try again later.
