  1. [R2] Baby Story 5/5 · US Such a great app for new parents: I would like the option to turn my story into an actual book that’s printable. I don’t mind paying however much for it but that would be super cool.
  2. [R8] Baby Story 4/5 · US Great photo editing: I really like this app for documenting my babies’s first year. My only complaint, is that I don’t see an option to actually create a baby book. I would love to just order something through the app. As opposed to taking it and ordering through Shutterfly. There might be something I am missing, I am hoping to hear back from the app support, but it has already been a couple of we
  3. [R12] Baby Story 3/5 · US Freezes constantly: Has cool options but the app freezes after the first action. I have to close down the app and reopen it. Can’t even edit a single photo
  4. [R64] Precious 1/5 · US Multiples: Disappointed it doesn’t do well with multiples despite changing profiles. They don’t look alike and are fraternal boy/girl twins and the app doesn’t recognize the difference and puts the wrong name with photos. No infant options that can take two faces for the AI adjustment. Disappointed I bought this app.
  5. [R52] Baby Story 4/5 · US Great app but…: I love this app. But lately since a few updates, it keeps crashing when I use my phone. It’d be better if I could actually use the app when I want to.
  6. [R67] Precious 1/5 · US App: The app keeps foreclosing on me.
  7. [R70] Precious 1/5 · US Be AWARE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS APP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED TO PAY FOR THE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION. I opted for the 3 day free trial. Canceled 1 day into free trial and was immediately charged for year subscription. Because my card is locked it declined but now I have to pay for the subscription in order to Access my apple account. Biggest scam ever.
  8. [R90] Precious 1/5 · US Bad app: It doesn’t work without subscription. Very annoying
  9. [R28] Baby Story 1/5 · US Heartbroken!!: I have been keeping up with my last baby’s milestones with this app! Every. Last. One! Log in to add the newest milestone at 9 months and everything is GONE! I paid for an annual subscription and I am devastated!! I emailed support and the only response I received was them asking if the problem was fixed, which made me even more upset. I pray this can be restored or I’ll be expectin
  10. [R40] Baby Story 1/5 · US Entire story disappeared: I updated the app and my whole story I've been adding to for 4 months vanished. I'm not even able to email support, it says "email could not be sent"
  11. [R88] Precious 1/5 · US Don't do it: I regret purchasing the yearly subscription. The AI photo studio doesn't work and customer service have completly ignored several of my messages. Paying customer deserved better communication and functionality.
  12. [R114] Precious 1/5 · US Doesn't work: The app glitches a lot and it's very frustrating to see how much time it takes to load a picture to get nothing
  13. [R21] Baby Story 3/5 · US Still costs more: You pay for the app and then all of the decent stickers cost additional money. Just a warning! I was disappointed in that. If you’re okay with minimal selection without paying more then it’s perfect for you!
  14. [R82] Precious 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Did the 3 day trial and automatically charged for the year, when trying to use just says processing with every picture and nothing is working .. don’t waste your time
  15. [R94] Precious 1/5 · US Charged for a Trial - AVOID: This app charged me $39.99 for a trial. I had the app for less than 24hrs and now I’m having to fight with them to refund my money. Picture quality was not good, app layout is confusing, editing ability is very limited…all around a bad app!! Shame on you for scamming people out of money!!!
  16. [R19] Baby Story 1/5 · US Charged for a year when I never signed up: I downloaded this app to see what features it had and noticed that they charged my bank for a year subscription. I asked for a refund and was told that they do not offer refunds.
  17. [R43] Baby Story 1/5 · US Beware!: I tried to use this app as the advertise free trial but the language was misleading and somehow managed to pay $5 for a monthly subscription when I didn’t want to subscribe. I am not sure how to get a refund as there is no clear customer support. The app is also disappointing. If you don’t want stickers, there’s no photo editing capacity here that’s better than what’s free on your iPhon
  18. [R102] Precious 1/5 · US Don’t even try to contact their customer service! NO ONE WILL REPLY!: I messaged the company MONTHS AGO! 3 emails later, still nothing! My best advice is only edit pictures on this app. If you try editing videos on a iPhone, you will lose the sound!!!!! No one from this company will get back to you to help you trouble shoot why this happened. I paid for the year subscription but will no longer be
  19. [R26] Baby Story 5/5 · US Baby story: Good. But not free
