1. [R8] FamilyAlbum 5/5 · US Best Family Album Ever: Great way to share photos and videos with family members and close friends. Love getting to see pictures and videos my grandkids daily. I also love the fact that I can get the 11 pictures every month for $ 3.99. there are usually so many good ones I end up getting more than my 11 every month.
2. [R20] FamilyAlbum 5/5 · US Keeping up with the Grandbabies: So grateful for this app! A wonderful way to get updates on our grandchildren as they grow and experience new things. And it’s fun to see the comments from other family members! The options to order prints and photo gifts are reasonably priced and good quality, too.
3. [R92] Tinybeans Private Family Album 5/5 · US The best photo sharing app for families: We love Tinybeans! We downloaded it because we wanted to share photos of our son and we were hesitant to "over-share" on social media. We also wanted a way for grandparents who aren't active on social media to see pictures. It's such a simple, private and user-friendly way to share photos with family and friends. We especially love the month-in-review colla
4. [R86] Tinybeans Private Family Album 5/5 · US Best app for parents!: I love Tinybeans! And extended family does too! I love how easy it is to share our photos and memories with family and close friends near and far. I’m told how much my grandparents love seeing so many pictures of their great grand babies, every single time I talk to them. It’s a great app and I have enjoyed using it for the last 17 months! (Also, premium is worth it if you’r
5. [R11] FamilyAlbum 5/5 · US Photo sharing: I really enjoy seeing the pictures sent from my family in Canada to me in the United States. I feel more of connection with them through the photos
6. [R57] FamilyAlbum 5/5 · US Great Photo Album App: We love Family Album!! I signed up for the free version when my son was born so that all the family could see him grow up!! We didn’t have any family in the same town so the app allowed everyone to feel close with all the pictures. Then we liked it so much, we switched to the paid version so we could enjoy the 1s videos every month instead of quarterly. Hands down one of the
7. [R61] Tinybeans Private Family Album 1/5 · US Expensive and glitchy, horrible app, greedy!!!!: They want $75 a year when it used to be free. I HATE them with a passion. Everything that used to be great SUCKS now and this is one of those things. I would never pay for this because the app doesn’t work half the time anyway. It crashes when you’re loading a bunch of photos at once and it’s a huge waste of time.
8. [R69] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Glitchy: Great app we have been using for almost 8 years but lately it has been so glitchy. I reached out to customer service for trouble shooting and they told me to re-download the app. I have done so a couple times and it is still not helping the glitches! I miss the old app.
9. [R4] 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
10. [R10] FamilyAlbum 1/5 · US Don’t order pictures: I ordered some pictures and was charged but never received.
11. [R66] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Going downhill: Used to love this app. Expected the experience to at least stay the same and not degrade when the price increased to almost double. Since then we have had weekly issues with the app. Most recently, more than once a week, we are unable to upload photos because they all show as back in the preview.
12. [R102] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Falling quality for a great app: Our family has been a long time user of TinyBeans across multiple households to share scenes from every day life with close friends and family. So we’ve been subscribed and paying customers for years. The app used to just always work, until this last year, when buggy uploads, unsaved comments, and crashes became much more common. What’s most frustrating is that sup
13. [R21] FamilyAlbum 3/5 · US Like the app but the “free” pictures are more expensive than buying them near you: The app is wonderful! But the price to ship the 11 free pictures you get is actually more expensive than buying bigger sizes of the pictures at Walmart you can buy like three times the amount of photos in a larger size and it still be cheaper than the shipping costs and you have them immediately. So that service is
14. [R78] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Pricey: I started on here posting our family’s first grandchild and it was great until the price got jacked up to an incredibly high one. I think of it as an investment for my 95 yr old grandmother happy but no other reason to use this specific expensive product anymore.
15. [R120] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Why the double in price for yearly subscription????: We love this app and use it daily to share our daughter with friends and family. I was deeply disappointed to see that you are doubling the cost of this service in April. What happens to all of our pictures if we decide to not renew due to the exorbitant price tag you are now putting on a photo sharing app?????
16. [R49] FamilyAlbum 1/5 · US Poor customer service: I have made two purchases from the store. The second one came with a cracked handle. I sent multiple emails with no response from customer support. I will never purchase from them again. The sad thing is the cups with photos are very cute.
17. [R90] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Love the app, but terrible communication: We’ve been using this app for years, and we love it. We even paid for the subscription. However, I’ve tried reaching out to the developers many times for various questions, including issues with the website when trying to take advantage of a Black Friday deal. No response ever. I was willing to continue paying for the subscription but changed my mind out o
18. [R72] Tinybeans Private Family Album 3/5 · US Slow app support response: Since the birth of my first grandchild, my daughter has been posting pictures of my now grandchildren daily. It has been great to be able to share the children’s growth with family and friends across the globe. Their great grandmother used to look at Tinybeans every night before she went to sleep. Last week, without any notification, my daughter was not able to upload pi
19. [R76] Tinybeans Private Family Album 1/5 · US No support: I paid for a subscription but the app is limiting my posts. I’ve reached out to their “support” twice and received no help.
