Safely share photos of your kids with grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends and other family members.

Ratings and reviews

Love the idea, but the implementation is really rough. It's incredibly difficult to understand how to invite new people to the service. And once you finally figure out how to add them, it's pretty painfully slow to just post messages. Hopefully they will continue improving this, cause it would be really great to have a private alternative to Meta.

Worked great for one week. Then a recent update lost access to the gallery I was a part of, removed the "photos" tab in the app. I tried reinstalling the app and now I can't login- says the account doesn't exist. This is despite typing the username exactly as it appears from my husband's account, who is a "connection". If it kept working though, it would be great!

I can't sign up it just says wrong sign-up confg. I love the concept of a private facebook alternative and it looks extremely promising. Please let me know as soon as people can sign up. I live in the US but it just says wrong sign-up config when I try to sign up.
