I’ve loved it and used it for several years. My only complaint is that the quick fill feature is not consistent. It hardly ever works. It will freeze. It won’t let you swap. Sometimes you press the button to swap in the video doesn’t actually swap sometimes I’ll get all the way through making my swaps and doing my quick fill and it will just crash and freeze and nothing will happen. I love the quick fill feature and I wish it would work. I pay an annual subscription for an app that freezes almost every time I use it. ### 4/5 — Wish it would connect to Google and Apple photos *2026-08-12, version 6.5.7* I really wish I could choose to log into my Google Photos and pull videos from there because I’m trying to go back and do my baby’s first year of life but didn’t have the account when he was born. Now I have to download things to my phone before I can upload to 1SE and that fills my phone quickly. If this feature was added, I’d give this app 5 stars! ### 4/5 — Love This App *2026-08-11, version 6.5.7* While I love the app it’s difficult to lean and use… ### 4/5 — Four stars *2026-08-11, version 6.5.6* The app is pretty good but the annoying part is you have to log in every single day if you want the results and sometimes you don’t have time for that. ### 3/5 — Next Date Text Is Ugly and Big *2026-08-07, version 6.5.5* Hello, I truly love this app so much but the next text font that shows the date on your clips is so ugly and completely ruining the app for me. is there anyway we can change it back to the old one via settings? if not that’s okay I will just find a different similar app ### 2/5 — Awful updates *2026-08-07, version 6.5.5* I’ve used this app for several years and love the concept and the ease/ simplicity of the upload but over the last few years they have changed the display on montages - first by removing the location that you input which sucks because that was such a great way to see where you’d been/ match it with the image and for others to see that too. Then as of today they’ve changed he small central date text over the video to a large (horrible font) covering the left of the video. Makes no sense and is a complete downgrade from how and where the ext was before. ### 2/5 — I did like it…before *2026-07-27, version 6.5.4* I used to use this app in 2018 to 2025. I then had to take it off my phone after backing it up and putting it on a cloud service with some life changes and moving. Did log in on a desktop every 6 months to avoid account inactivity deletion. I just recently got a new phone and attempted to re-download that profile the app was saying that it doesn’t exist none of my videos exist none of the cloud service exist but as the same time “welcome back” messages and I know it’s the right profile. When back to the desktop and those are all gone as well. It’s just all of it 2018 to 2024 gone it’s really frustrating because I had a lot of memories with that and thankfully, I saved each those individual videos and photos on my own that with my video editing experience I can do that on my computer, but I liked this app originally because it helped with a consistent reminder, it linked with the calendar event, dates of photos and videos taken to add a suggested picture video for that day. Also did help with the reminder for those that forget to do it every day that you can turn on and off I did like that. It was able to playback a video using very simple features instead of having to break out my entire video editing PC program looks like I’m gonna have to revert back to just PC video editing since this app deleted everything that I worked hard on and I don’t really really wanna start over. Doesn’t really seem like it’s a viable thing after using their cloud service to save and back up as well just have to go through pc video editing and compiling. ### 5/5 — Amazing diary app *2026-07-20, version 6.5.2* Easy to use and a great way to document your life. ### 5/5 — It only takes a second! *2026-07-17, version 6.5.2* My daughter told me about this app in 2014. I did it for a year then stopped for a few years. Then I realized how impactful these seconds are. Truly you don’t need hours of movies to remember the essence of a wonderful experience. So I picked it up again in 2018, and have been doing it ever since. It get so many people telling me how they love these videos. One day, probably in 2028 when I reach my 10 year anniversary with the app I’ll compile a movie. Don’t think twice. Just do it. It’ll only take a second. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-17, version 6.5.2* This app is great and I love the video it creates! ### 5/5 — It only takes a second! *2026-07-14, version 6.5.1* My daughter told me about this app in 2014. I did it for a year then stopped for a few years. Then I realized how impactful these seconds are. Truly you don’t need hours of movies to remember the essence of a wonderful experience. So I picked it up again in 2018, and have been doing it ever since. It get so many people telling me how they love these videos. One day, probably in 2018 when I reach my 10 year anniversary with the app I’ll compile a movie. Don’t think twice. Just do it. It’ll only take a second. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — 5 years going strong!! *2026-07-13, version 6.5.1* I started using 1 second everyday as a way to record one season of my life and 5 years later I am still using it! It is fun to look back and see what life was like over the years. It is also an easy way to keep people updated on your life! ### 5/5 — 11 years in *2026-07-12, version 6.5* I can not recommend an app more highly than this one. I started in 2015 and I’ve watched my kids grow up, my life develop and change and my memories forever held. I’ve used this to figure out when someone important happened because I can link it to something else going on. It helps me to stay grateful in life and see how absolutely fantastic even the most mundane daily events are in retrospect. Truly a gift. ### 2/5 — Used to be amazing *2026-07-11, version 6.5* I don’t know what is going on, I have the updated app and when I look back at my memories from 2017 and 2018 almost all of them have a black screen or a black line down them like a split screen. I tried reaching out Through the chat for support and they offered zero help. I am so sad about this because my kid is now 9 and I’ve been using this app that long and I never thought to back up my video clips anywhere else but here. Please fix this bug! ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS THE MOST AMAZING APP IVE EVER COME ACROSS, YALL!! *2026-07-10, version 6.5* You can take videos, use, live pictures, or just use a regular picture for your one second every day. If you do it every single day, and you can go back to the days you missed and pick some pictures and videos then too, then you will get a combination of one second videos. So at the end of the year, you will have a 365 second video about how your year went and what happened on that day! Do not give up on this app! All you have to do is login every day and make some videos and you will be very pleased outcome I swear to you! I hope you guys like it as much as I do. Five stars! 💜 ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2026-07-04, version 6.4.1* This app is amazing! I love it so much for so much reasons, but I am just going to say my favorite reason! This app is amazing on New Year’s day! This is because we get a whole review of the year! There is no way that this is bad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-08-27, version 6.5.8* This is such a great idea, but the only way to save your clips is to pay $100/year. I already have cloud backup, can I use what I already have, nope. When I looked up on their website why, they give some BS excuse about not being able to control data or something, its just an excuse to try to force yet another subscription. I would pay a one time fee to purchase the app and store on my cloud services, but I won’t pay yet another subscription so that they can have recurring revenue at my expense. ### 1/5 — Price Hike & Low-Quality Free Version *2026-08-26, version 6.5.8* After 7 years of loyally using this, I realized they switched the compression options last year, and your only options are fairly low-quality or HD (for $50!). It used to be totally free to get a quality video. It is noticeably bad, and I’m disappointed to have to move my seconds over, but I will be switching to a different app. ### 1/5 — No horizontal video *2026-08-05* Hello everyone! After the app update, 1SE no longer supports horizontal format for editing and exporting. How is that possible — all my video projects are horizontal. How can I roll back to the previous version of the app? ### 1/5 — Help me. *2026-06-24, version 6.4* They’re inside my house help…. ### 1/5 — What have you done? *2026-06-20, version 6.3.5* Broken software that previously worked perfectly. Hideous new interface and serial crashing. What a dreadful update. Moronic. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2026-06-10, version 6.3.3* Used to be so happy with this app. One of my favourite ways to document precious memories. Unfortunately the last few months even through multiple updates it crashes every time I try to upload a video almost impossible to use now. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app if you don’t want to pay *2026-06-09, version 6.3.3* Genuinely no point there’s barely anything you can do your video diaries are one second long that’s crazy and I had already filmed like three days thinking that my videos were longer than when I looked back. It had only saved one second from them this app is literally no point if you’re not gonna pay for it which is just crazy ### 1/5 — App no longer usable *2026-06-09, version 6.3.3* Since the update a few days ago, you can’t use the app at all. You open it up and try to add a moment but it just glitches and closes the app every single time. Now it’s useless. Very disappointing because I had been enjoying it. ### 1/5 — Since the update it doesn’t work at all *2026-05-13, version 6.2* Since the update a few days ago, you can’t use the app at all. You open it up and try to add a moment but it just glitches and closes the app every single time. Now it’s useless. Very disappointing because I had been enjoying it. ### 1/5 — App Updates removed 60fps exports *2026-05-02, version 6.1.10* (May 2026 Edit) I’ve used this app for over 10 years. I’ve loved it, but the newest updates have made the video quality worse! I’ve had the feature to export my snippets in 60 fps for years. It used to be a toggle. Now that toggle has been removed not only for 4K exports (Paying for Pro) but also for 1080p exports. I want my memories to last by having the best quality videos by recording everything in 4K 60fps. But unfortunately 2025/2026 projects will look WORSE because the devs won’t fix this. I’ve tried to work with support on this many times but they haven’t been helpful. Maybe it’s time to try another app. ———————————————- I love this app! I used it most of 2013 and compiled my first year of snippets together. I love going back and watching it again and again. I love most the idea of recording 1 second to help me reflect later, rather than losing the opportunity to enjoy the moment at hand. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for moms *2026-08-29, version 6.5.9* As a mom of two little ones, this app has been the perfect and EASY solution for capturing our day to day and sharing with family. Instead of posting on social media, I take 1 sec a day and at the end of the month share out ‘mashed’ seconds with grandparents, and other close family and friends. It’s been the perfect way to share our lives in a private way without it being out in social media. I have been doing this since 2021 and of all the ‘mom’ things I do, this is one of the most special, that I know we’ll treasure for years to come. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-20, version 6.5.7* I’m on my 4th year of 1SE, it’s the perfect end of year highlight reel ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-19, version 6.5.7* I think that this app is fantastic. This is a wonderful way to compile your favorite moments, and to have something fun to look back on as you get older. ### 5/5 — Love the app, but suddenly I can’t find my account *2026-08-19, version 6.5.7* I’ve been using this app for almost 6 years and recently upgraded my phone, and since then I’m unable to login. The app won’t recognize any of my emails so it won’t send me a link. I continue to pay the subscription, but there’s also no way to contact anyone for help. Super frustrating. I don’t wanna give up everything I’ve done, but I refuse to keep paying for something I can’t access anymore for some reason and no way to contact anyone. After a lot of searching, I was able to figure it out, but the absolute lack of support for such a not-cheap, long-lasting app is disconcerting. ### 5/5 — Great way *2026-08-07, version 6.5.5* To build a reel of your life! You can see what you are spent your time doing. ### 5/5 — Ye ccc *2026-08-06, version 6.5.5* Ccvc ### 5/5 — Using the app since 2022… *2026-08-06, version 6.5.3* I’m not one to leave reviews, but I have been using this app for several years now and when the pop-up asked for a review, I figured it’s probably bout damn time lol! I started using the app to capture the one second everyday. At the end of the first year, I simply selected my ‘theme song’ for the year as the music and then viola a year in review in like 60 seconds. And honestly, it felt so good watching back all the moments of that first year I was hooked! That was 2022 and I still do it. You can also do other video projects too. It’s very easy to use, intuitive. I would highly recommend, you’ll love the grand reveal at the end of year! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP!! *2026-08-03, version 6.5.5* This is easily my favorite app on my phone and I recommend it to every parent! I love being able to record my kids growing up and our adventures together. ### 5/5 — Absolutely LOVE it *2026-07-28, version 6.5.4* I adore this app. I’ve been using it for a few years now and it is amazing how many memories are held in a second. ### 5/5 — My memoirs and personal visual memory *2026-07-27, version 6.5.4* I have been using since more than ten years ago, still keeps all my memories fresh and alive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
