  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. [R5] Baby Story 5/5 · US Amazing for first time parents: Absolutely recommend, they have nice frames which can be turned into amazing pictures without having to break the bank
  3. [R6] Baby Story 3/5 · US I love this but..: I love how I can have my baby’s album at my fingertips. I love all the stickers and backgrounds. It really makes it easy to put everything in one place. Cons: However, the one thing that I don’t like is that the album can’t be saved to my phone or shared to others to look at. It also seems the only way I have access to it now is if I renew my subscription. You need to have a s
  4. [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
  5. [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
  6. [R13] Baby Story 1/5 · US I have twins: I really wanted this app for cute pictures of my twin’s milestones but it only supports one baby :(
  7. [R17] Baby Story 5/5 · US Awesome application: It’s really simple to navigate and awesome stickers for everything !!!
  8. [R25] Baby Story 2/5 · US Baby app: I’m not able to edit or apply stickers, collages or anything else, it won’t apply. Unfortunately I have to delete.
  9. [R1] Baby Story 1/5 · US love but it’s not working anymore: i pay for the whole app, and lately i can’t even update photos to my sons story. i love this app but cmon please fix your stuff
  10. [R3] Baby Story 3/5 · US Pictures not loading for the story: I absolutely loved this app. I didn’t mind paying at all until it stopped working. I’ve been using this since I found out I was pregnant with my first baby. I would add details or symptoms or fun moments to the stories section and I’ve had no problems. Then I had my daughter and I added an album for after she was born and no problems but after 6 months it’s now
  11. [R34] Baby Story 1/5 · US Bugs 4Eva: This app would be absolutely amazing…if it didn’t crash in the middle of every project without saving. I’ve had it for 7 years and still have the same issues. Has there been no attempt to fix this in all that time?????
  12. [R18] Baby Story 3/5 · US Cobran mucho: Es muy buena app pero no te deja hacer mucho por todo te cobran
  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. [R24] Baby Story 3/5 · US Too Much $: I used this app for my previous pregnancy and was able to purchase the weekly fruit picture to put on my pictures for a one-time cost (I want to say it was a couple of dollars). So cute! Now, if I want to get a new theme for my current pregnancy, I have to pay $5 a month.. not really fair when I only want one picture pack and literally nothing else. Contacted customer service and simpl
  15. [R31] Baby Story 1/5 · US Different than it used to be: I bought this app and used it through two pregnancies. It was great and I loved it which is why i coughed up the $7 originally. Now on my third pregnancy the app is saying I need to purchase a monthly subscription to use it again. In this economy?!
  16. [R16] Baby Story 1/5 · US A Scam: The app says it’s free trial for 7 days but only on 3rd day free trial the app already took money out from my bank…and the app is not even worth paying for…only few options to choose..so don’t even think of buying the app. It’s a real scam!!!
  17. [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.
  18. [R9] Baby Story 3/5 · US Printing story album: I like the app so far but wish it had more templates and backgrounds. Mostly I wold like to know if there is a way to print story time as an album or if there is a way to download it
  19. [R47] Baby Story 4/5 · US Great app: It’s a great app to add stickers to your photos of baby or baby bump when pregnant. It does have an option for a subscription but you don’t have to have one to use the app.
  20. [R49] Baby Story 5/5 · US Very cute: Such a cute app and lots of options without paying.
  21. [R63] Baby Sticker- Track Milestones 3/5 · US Meh: Pretty much have to pay for anything. Which is a shame because it’s really cute.
  22. [R66] Baby Sticker- Track Milestones 3/5 · US Cute but.....: The free app gives you very little free to work with. But is food for collages
  23. [R59] Baby Story 5/5 · US Too expensive: Also I’m tired if subscriptions I would pay a one time $40 but not a subscription
  24. [R61] Baby Sticker- Track Milestones 1/5 · US Ads after paying: I paid for the yearly subscription to keep my baby’s pictures consistent. Went to use it today and had to sit through ads for an app that charges $40 a year?
