Excellent. Highly recommended.
Ever found an old printed photo and remarked on that lamp/mug/neighbour that you'd long forgotten? One day we're going to wish all our photo albums weren't perfect, filtered white lies.
This application is unique, genuinely valuable and perfectly balanced in terms of the user experience. Just anonymous and mysterious enough to be intriguing. It's an exciting little surprise every day. I have had no problems at all with it and look forward to one day seeing all my images.
The little insight into another anonymous user is a spark of genius. Admittedly I don't really get the blank boxes. I'd rather they were represented as a number of misses rather than actual blank photos, but apart from that it's perfect in my eyes.Show lessMetageist

Thank you so much, we really appreciate this!Excellent Concept With Matching Execution
A well designed and easy to use interface coupled with a compelling manifesto has made this one of my favourite reasons to have a smart phone. A fantastic and engaging alternative to social media. Would recommend to all.benzd001

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!Frustrated Love
Ever be madly in love with a person that at the same time drives you crazy? That's this app. The concept is amazing and it's exactly what I need right now. Probably what a lot of us need. But I'm extremely frustrated with the app because I keep missing my opportunity to take my pictures. And not because I was asleep or because I was missing the notifications. I'm getting the notifications but when I open my phone/app I keep getting shut out of the photo part of the process. And I'm experienced enough with the app to understand the 60 seconds time-frame - there's some glitch with my phone/app when I unlock my phone. And it means I'm missing opportunities to catch my minutiae - which are rare enough as it is. Sort of a bummer.Show lessChompin' Skip

This app is definitely not for everyone but I love it! After reading through a lot of the reviews, I have to wonder did anyone read about the project and how it would work before trying it... lol
I don't care that it wakes me; I'll put my phone to "do not disturb" if I don't want that to happen. I have a lot of black squares of my bedroom ceiling :) Of course I miss moments, we all have lives to live. Sometime I'm doing something awesome and think now would be a great time for the app to go off but then I get home and take pic of my refrigerator. It's perfect and makes me laugh.
I can't wait to see the pattern my life's moments create. I am truly enjoying this.Show lessOneRedFugu
Novel idea, dedication required!
Don't let the price tag put your off, the idea for this app is pretty cool.
Once each day, at a random minute, all minutiae participants around the globe receive an alert simultaneously to take a photo. Everyone has exactly one minute to respond to the alert, open the minutiae app and take a photo.
Once you’ve taken your photo, you have 60 seconds to explore previously taken photos. Both your own and those of one random stranger you are matched with each day.Show lessDanCounsell
How do I get to see other people's submissions again?
I've just been using this for about a week & it's really cool! But, I must've done something during my first submission that somehow turned off the ability to see other people's pictures. I saw someone's that once & I've never seen another. Any way to get that back or am I missing something?
& here's another vote for some sort of time zone restrictions: maybe like 2 separate minutiae a day - one for one half of the plant & the other for the other half - depending on where the sun is shining.Show lesspatep34
Love it!!
I absolutely love the concept. There's a satisfaction when you're able to take the picture and sort of see whatever the rest of the world is doing. I would also say it isn't for everyone. Some people love the concept, others don't. But I love the fact that I'll see a little booklet in four years of all the random pictures in my life. I wonder if I'll remember what I was doing that day or if they'll really just look like random pics
One suggestion though. I don't know if it's possible but the other day I was on my way home on the train and had no service. I still got the notification but my picture did not upload bc I did not have service. The app should maybe save an offline version to upload. Obviously I'd get that I wouldn't be able to see anyone else's pictures or mine but it's unfortunate that I still got the notification but was unable to save it on the app.Show lessMichelle Joyce M
Inspiring!
It requires some getting used to, but I really love this app. It takes a basic (and very original) concept and does it well. One pic a day and the subject is wide open. Just minutia, as implied? Only your alarm clock if you're in bed? Only red objects between 4 pm and 5 pm? Some of the tiles are just going to be black: deep sleep, driving, at a movie, on a plane, in a pool - but that pattern will help tell your own story too. Then, seeing other people's pictures is fascinating (sort of like a glimpse of super-private webcams). It's hard not to feel a sense of human connection to all of the other people taking a picture in that day's minute. This app is the sort of thing that wouldn't even have made sense to me 15 years ago. This is social media in the same way that Journey is a multiplayer game.Show lessDr. Nim
actually increased my phone addiction
This is my favorite app but it really doesn't do a good job keeping up with the idea of "anti-social media." When it sends you the alert, you only have a minute to respond before it cuts you off, which basically means you have to be on your phone CONSTANTLY if you don't want to miss it. Every time I miss the window to take a photo I get really frustrated--it's always because I'm driving, working, having a conversation, or doing something that requires that I stay away from my phone. Extending the window by even a couple minutes would be an awesome improvement.Show lessdinosaurs are slick as heck
Great app for reflection
...reflecting both on your use of socials and on all the little things that make up your big life. Works seamlessly. Clean and sophisticated interface. Read the manifesto and get on board.SleepyheadCharlie
