- [R2] Baby Story 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.
- [R6] Baby Story 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
- [R67] Baby Pics Deceiving: I paid 39.99 for this app and many of the functions requiere an upgrade to pro version. The only thing you get here are some stickers for your pictures.
- [R73] Baby Pics don't buy this!: I am disappointed that I paid for a year's subscription for $34.99. For this money I am offered only 59 backdrops, of which 5-10 are on the theme of Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter. If you need photos not for holidays, then this is definitely not worth buying. This is not worth buying at all!!!!
- [R17] Baby Story Awesome application: It’s really simple to navigate and awesome stickers for everything !!!
- [R60] Baby Story Great!: I like this app a lot. Easy to use for baby milestones.
- [R63] Baby Pics Great app but ..:: Love this app but it Uses so much storage on my phone I’m going to have to delete it
- [R66] Baby Pics Not too great: Hi, I bought this app for my newborn but when I started using it half the artworks doesn’t get download and get stuck in between so I have to keep switching to try the ones which can get download. What is the point of buying this then?
- [R28] Baby Story 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
- [R40] Baby Story 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"
- [R61] Baby Pics Terrible App: I am stuck with an app that I cannot use because it will store any photo you share with a third party AI vendor unless you contact support to delete that information. Constantly have to log into the app and it doesn’t work well. When I first got this app, I took a couple of photos, however, it began to say that I didn’t have access to several elements of the app unless I have a subsc
- [R21] Baby Story 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!
- [R45] Baby Story Annoying!: They let you edit ONE a picture on the free version using the stickers. If you try to go back in and edit another one using the stickers they’re locked unless you purchase the plus version. There aren’t hardly any sticker packs that are free…esp the ones I wanted to use like the fruit comparison ones or food comparison one. I deleted it.
- [R87] Baby Pics Charged for “free trial”: Was offered a free 30-day trial in app, took it, was immediately charged for the full year. Reached out to request a refund and immediate cancellation, was told it’s not eligible. The app is incredibly basic and all functions can be completed in other free apps, I don’t see a need for this and I’m irritated to have been charged $34.99 for something so silly.
- [R79] Baby Pics Scam! Do NOT download!: Disgusting business ethics. The app is trash and when you try to cancel the trial it does not allow you to log in , but to login you must pay the membership? Therefore you can’t cancel without having to pay the year subscription! Stay away from this app!
- [R91] Baby Pics No free trial, charged.: I clicked the free trial button, but it ended up charging me the full year right off the bat. No free trial. I tried contacting them and they said no refunds. Even though it showed me false info about the free trial.
