Ratings and reviews

We have used this app (life cake) for 4 years. It's a great service for quickly and adding photos that are easy to access for all of our family members. I wish there were better options for making hard copies of the thousands of photos and videos. I'd love an option to make a photo book that fits hundreds of photos, or a CD or thumb drive with all the videos on it. The books available before were so short, only 20 pages.

Being unable to access BackThen by computer is simply the biggest problem and extremely inconvenient. Receiving an email while on my computer, I am unable to see the photo...what's the point? I must go to my phone to first open the app...it's ridiculous! If you truly want BackThen to succeed going forward, I suggest you take seriously the numerous complaints regarding the inability to access from a computer, and upgrade this service to enable this. If Lifecake could do it, so can BackThen!

I cannot upload files while the app is running in the background, otherwise the uploads fail. When the files are large this means that I need to wait forever on the app without having the chance of using the phone for something else: in this case I also need to be careful not to have the automatic screen lock.
