Ratings and reviews

Enshitification at its finest. The uploads will fail and, when retrying them, it uploads the pictures twice. Then, when deleting the duplicates, you have to go one by one, because the multi select tool scrolls all the way to the top every time you select a pic/vid. It's a true test to your patience, and a fun, cute little moment of reviving your kids moments turns into a rage fuelled battle with this app that can ruin the best of moods. We look forward to finding a better option.

Such a great and well executed concept. I love sharing my little one with privacy from social media with handpicked friends and family. My family and friends have been using it on our recommendation for almost 12 years and now half a dozen kids from four families.

Just gone to update LGs latest measurements and there's been an horrible update to the picture tiles for weights and height. please revert them back to the previous ones. Apart from this, we like using BackThen
