I like the app but it has a bunch of issues: 1) despite the “importing” loading screen at the beginning, it constantly fails to load photos and starts to glitch out if you have optimized storage on, even with a fast connection. it will haptic click even though the photo is not changing, and a lot of other buggy behavior. This happens in under 10 photos on my device, I would understand it if it was into the hundreds. 2) crashes a lot when messing with settings especially, but randomly crashes in plenty of other situations 3) the “since” setting where you can change the date range with a list of toggle buttons is extremely laggy even on a 15 Pro 4) subscription for an app that has zero developer costs is a bad choice, but luckily the features of the free version are fine to me. I’d still throw like $5 the developer’s way if it was made one time just on principle, though unfair nitpick: no iPad app despite the fact it would have a better crop on the 4:3 photos 🙁 I would imagine an iPad version would be non trivial though due to how custom the UI is It’s sad that it seems like this app will never be “finished” because the idea is super cool. Even if just the crashes and photo loading bugs were finished I’d prob change to 5 stars.

I love this app. It gives me a sense of nostalgia from looking at my photos that I’ve never experienced from another app. But it crashes constantly. Change a setting? Crashes. Open the app from a notification? Crashes. Pause the reel? Crashes. And $3 a month for this is ridiculous given that it costs nothing to run and works offline. What is my subscription paying for? It should be a one-time fee or something like $5 a year. It is a really great app though and I’m obsessed with the icon.

Great idea, but the crashing makes the app almost unusable. Won’t subscribe until this is fixed.
