Ratings and reviews

June 2025 update: the app is basically broken on Proton VPN and keeps hitting my location services. Can only imagine how much data they're trying to harvest for sale. I don't know if the notification problem is still a thing because I've trained myself to never click them. Love the idea, and it's great when it works. However, alerts are inconsistently on time, and it has gotten into the habit of just ignoring anything I do by responding to a notification. Feels like it defeats the purpose.

I love the concept of this app, and it used to work great. But lately it has been sooo buggy. I sometimes never get notifications that it's time to take a photo or I get notified late. Yesterday, the notification came 12 full minutes after the actual "time" went off, so I was already late when it told me to post. Often, I have to retake photos several times before it accepts it, and it keeps crashing when I try to open it to take a photo. It's no longer a fun app because it just doesn't work.

I love the concept of the app and I enjoyed it for a very long time. I like being able to keep of with friends in other states. But lately, it's been more annoying than enjoyable. It's very buggy. There are days at a time where I don't receive the notification, and now my memories aren't showing up and everything I try to post a bereal, it deletes it and says I need to post a late one. I've restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and noting is working.
