1. [R1] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Scammers: This app was great for the first part of using it. Then they got money hungry I guess and deactivated my account and kept all of my journal entries locked until I paid to buy a book of the journal entries or a membership when it originally had been free, when I finally caved and paid $30 for a book, they send me a notification that says my book is printing and will send me a notification
2. [R4] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Shady Business Practices - Avoid This App: I’ve been using this app for many years now on their free tier. I’ve recently received notice that my account is being deactivated unless I sign up for a paid membership. I get that business needs change, but you started the free option, not me and now my memories are being held hostage unless I purchase a membership OR pay for a PDF of everything I’ve
3. [R7] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Used to be worth it…: They just changed to a paid only app. I have almost 6 years of memories on my account and I have to either pay for an annual membership or pay to have my memories sent on a one time pdf. There’s no other option but to delete the account. I can’t even view what was saved. This is shameful. Unless you can pay $10/$15, some literally can’t, doesn’t matter how long you’ve used th
4. [R13] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Good until it’s not: I started this with my first born in 2022 and was pleased with the ease of adding daily pictures and memories. But with the addition of new kids and the pricy upgrades I tried to do minimal charges. Now I am confronted with a notification that my account will be deleted and I will lose all my progress if I do not buy or upgrade. I can’t even adjust the book entries if I decide
5. [R12] Qeepsake 3/5 · US Great Memory book: We like this app for keeping all our memories in one spot and being able to quickly make a book. Photo quality on pictures in the journal book are not great sadly.
6. [R15] Qeepsake 3/5 · US Poor picture quality: My book came out nicely with the layout formatting however I’m so disappointed in the picture quality. I’m using my iPhone and my pics print normally in other platforms/apps. I’ve always used another company to make my own photo books and never had an issue. I’m just so surprised at the lack of picture quality. Otherwise the questions are fun and it’s easy to make updates in
7. [R39] Qeepsake 4/5 · US Great app! Questionable book quality: So thankful something like this exists. It makes it so easy to answer questions by sending you the texts, and add photos and other entries just by just opening up the app. And I like how you can add a photo collage with four photos, because I usually have trouble picking just one! It is definitely worth upgrading to the paid version to be able to do this. I al
8. [R3] Qeepsake 3/5 · US Please Improve:: I want to love this app, but a couple of years into using it and there are a handful of things that make it difficult for the customer. If uploading photos from my iPhone 15, even though the app asks me if I want the original date of the photo to be uploaded and I select "yes", it will upload with the current date. This caused me a nightmare of having to go in and hand adjust ever
9. [R6] Qeepsake 3/5 · US Very easy but need more variety of questions: It does help keeping track but repetitive questions and some don’t apply.
10. [R9] Qeepsake 3/5 · US Simple Interface, could use work on the auto questions: I love how easy it is to capture pictures and notes and actually appreciate the simple interface and limited personalization of formatting so I don’t get dragged into over editing. But the auto-sent questions are not programmed well as it keeps sending ones completely irrelevant to my child’s age. And the character limit is too strict. So I e
11. [R10] Qeepsake 1/5 · US AI generated questions: I’ve been using Qeepsake for a while so I saw the change when they started using AI to generate questions that are seasonally inappropriate and just don’t make sense at all. “What imaginative stories does child create about pumpkins?” “What autumn sensory experience seems to fascinate child the most?” Ok first of all, it’s spring… also what kind of questions are those? I em
12. [R18] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Upgrades impossible: I signed up for the essential annual plan and five months later decided I wanted the premium plan because I ran out of uploads. Apple will not allow me to upgrade my sub subscription until the initial annual subscription expires. Qeepsake cannot help until Apple cancels my plan, which I cannot do without customer service.
13. [R20] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Endless Issues, Customer Service MIA: I loved Qeepsake when I used the free version a few years ago. Now I upgraded to premium and am having several issues. Journal entries aren’t accurate one day to the next. I’m not getting text or app notifications with daily questions even after changing the settings and re-installing the app. I’ve messaged customer service, but they don’t respond. Did they re
14. [R22] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Not compatible with new iOS: The app does not work with iOS 26.1. Are there any updates on when a new version will be released? I’ve been told by customer service to use the website instead, but it’s difficult to navigate from a phone and not what I planned on using when paying for the premium membership.
15. [R32] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Don’t forget to order the book and cancel when you’re not using: I realized I never ordered my baby book for my son born in 2021. Plus- I was able to order it because my stuff was saved. Big bummer, I was charged for another year for engaging with the app, plus the money for the book. Don’t be like me and get charged for a service you’re not using.
16. [R36] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Scandalous Cancelation Policy: Watch out, they autorenew your subscription annually and don’t send reminder emails of any kind. I haven’t used the product or heard from them in a full year, but they have a rigid terms of service and no way to contact customer support. Shameful.
17. [R48] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Charging for four years without notice or emails: I initially liked this app a lot. I used it a ton and bought their overpriced book of pictures and journal entries back in 2021 after keeping up with it for a year. Today, three years later, I realize they’ve been charging me for their premium app use without any notice or emails or anything. I checked and I haven’t gotten an email from them sinc
18. [R52] FamilyAlbum 4/5 · US Still waiting on ordered photos: Enjoy being able to see all the photos. I have had trouble receiving the photos I have ordered the last few months.
19. [R53] FamilyAlbum 3/5 · US Love the app, but…: I love being able to share photos in the app with family, but I bought photos in April and May and I still have not received them. While sharing photos is awesome, if you want them printed, you’re better off ordering them through your local photo printing place like Walgreens or Walmart.
20. [R54] FamilyAlbum 2/5 · US Worried: I love the app. I truly do but recently my orders have not showed up. My address is correct and yet the photos still say shipped but they never deliver. It scares me because I don't know where my photos are going and they are pictures of my children. I keep getting replacement free photos and they also don't show. I just feel super uncomfortable that I don't know where my personal photos
21. [R55] FamilyAlbum 5/5 · US Big fan!: What a great was to share pix without having to send to everyone individually or post everything on FB.
22. [R66] Tinybeans Private Family Album 5/5 · US Updated Review: Update as of 2026 They have made some major updates and things are so much better. I am so glad I stuck it out, because this really is the best app. Now that I don’t have uploading issues, I have no complaints. Since they worked on the changes, they even reached out to me checking in because I had sent so many emails about the struggles to support. I appreciated that. It’s much eas
23. [R69] Tinybeans Private Family Album 4/5 · US 6 years & 3 Babies Later: I truly love this app. We’re a military family and have moved every 2 years, including an overseas move. Staying connected to family is the most important thing for me and this app helps that tremendously! I also love having the memories pop up. The only thing is that for close to a year it has been glitching and no longer lets me select which child is in the photos I sel
24. [R72] Tinybeans Private Family Album 4/5 · US Great Alternative to fb: TB allows you to keep your inner family and friends up to date on your baby's progress. Especially great for newborns. Not sure why many of the tracking is linked to me AND not linked to me?
25. [R75] Tinybeans Private Family Album 5/5 · US Safe place to store memories: Tinybeans has, without exaggeration, changed our family for the better. We’re able to look back on 9+ years of wonderful memories and pictures. The app is user-friendly and secure, so I feel safe sharing my children’s photos and videos with loved ones. Thank you, Tinybeans. 💜
26. [R80] MyHeritage 5/5 · US About my heritage: Im so happy that I discovered finally my jewish roots, always had on my mind from where i came from due my grand grandparents, grandparents past away when I was children, so never knew my heritage history, but now I feel complete and proud of my family. Thanks to this app I know where I belong
27. [R86] MyHeritage 5/5 · US MyHeritage: The MyHeritage app continually improves and seems to be very accurate and matches my genealogical research.
28. [R90] MyHeritage 5/5 · US Family: It’s been crazy tracking my family history and finding people that I didn’t even know existed
29. [R94] BackThen 5/5 · US Best family photo app of all time: Just the best - no nonsense easy to use
30. [R97] BackThen 5/5 · US Love love love!: Great way to store all the precious memories!
31. [R99] BackThen 5/5 · US Great way to share updates of our baby boy!: Glad my cousin told me about this app!
32. [R103] BackThen 5/5 · US Great app, improves constantly: We’ve used this app since we had our first almost 8 years ago. Our four kids entire lives are in this app (which is also terrifying should they ever shut down completely). We love the tagging and filtering system as well as abilities to add stories and milestones, and LOVE adding videos. Things we wish for in future updates: the photobooks that automatically create
33. [R108] Waldo 5/5 · US WHAT THIS MAMA HEART NEEDS!: I love this App I love going to it and finding immediate pictures of my children at camp so I know they are having a great time!! I love not having to look through hundreds of pictures to find my children.
34. [R111] Waldo 5/5 · US Great App, Easy to Use: This was so much better than other camp photo systems we’ve used before and it has been so accurate in finding our kiddo. Great photos and easy to use. The updates are fun and I don’t have to guess when new photos are shared. I didn’t mind the small fee especially for the photo quality and since some of it went to the program we were supporting anyway.
35. [R113] Waldo 5/5 · US Great App: I love this app! My kids’ summer camp used it for their photos and it was awesome. I loved every time the little notifications came through saying it found another pic of my camper having a blast. The facial recognition is very accurate.
36. [R119] Waldo 5/5 · US Great app!: I love that this app can use facial recognition software to be able to spot people in crowds and from distances to capture memories and events!
37. [R28] Qeepsake 2/5 · US Not as expected: This is nice to use as a journal function but I’m disappointed overall. I thought the book would be more customizable but instead you’re limited to only 1-2 entries/photos per page. To group photos together you’d have to delete the old ones and go back in. The subscription fee is high for the high price of books also. Overall disappointed and won’t be renewing. I love the aspect o
38. [R40] Qeepsake 1/5 · US Not so easy to use great idea: Difficult to add, can’t customize pages. Book only allows 299 pages which is less than 1 photo a day. When you’re over to remove pages is one at a time. Frustrating they can’t put more than one on a page to make all the photos work.
39. [R60] FamilyAlbum 1/5 · US Don’t order pictures: I ordered some pictures and was charged but never received.
