  • Horrible devs. Horrible app.

    Just be aware that everything you enter in owned by them and they will make it as difficult as they possibly can to get your data out of this app. These are the types of developers that should be banned from creating these deceptive apps. Based on the other reviews, they’re done a great job of duping countless people. The only saving grace is that Apple now lets you copy any text from any image. Hahaha I bet the devs love that. Can’t charge to export data anymore? Go cry about it.

    Hi Pyk, thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate your support all the time. Here are a few things to address: First, about "They’ve also confirmed that they have no intention of adding this through email", we've never said this in any email reply. "Exporting data" is a feature on our roadmap but not yet supported. I understand you've waited for so long. But given that the app is still designed, developed and maintained by one person, I had to make choice and implement major features first. Second, we don't charge money for editing old daily caps. You can spend some Pieces to edit a daily cap after 24 hours but Pieces are not equal to money. You've used Time Caps so long, so I'm sure that you know Pieces are a way that we introduce to encourage users to write daily caps. You can gain Pieces for writing any caps. It's true that you can purchase some Pieces with a few dollars, but it's just one of the ways earning them. In fact, most users did not purchase any pieces. Moreover, with the update, we introduced several new ways for users to gain Pieces, including weekly/monthly rewards, Piece Reward Program, etc. And meanwhile, we offered ways to help users utilize the Pieces they gained to perform some actions that they could not do in old versions, such as filling a old day, or editing a daily cap after 24 hours. Last, if this does any help, if you update to the latest version (2.5.4), you can long press the text in a cap and copy them. You don't need to spend Pieces to edit just to copy anymore. I know this is still far away from an ideal "exporting" feature, but I'm working on it. Thanks again for your support and feedback and love for Time Caps. Have a good day!
  • Love this app so so much

    Such a fun and creative way to memorialize your life. Will be using it for as long as possible! One suggestion would be the ability to export your previous posts
  • Wow!

    It is such a great app! I do wish the in app purchases weren’t a thing though. If you really wanted to have an incredible experience, get rid of the purchases and watch a couple adds instead. I would have loved to see myself in the past, but only if you
    - watch adds to get gems
    - use gems to get capsules
    - use capsules to send a photo or voice recording.
    If anything, just lower the gem prices on the capsules. Thank you!

  • How to get your data out of this app for free

    Take a screenshot of the image provided by the app. Use the built in Live Text feature on the images. Done use apps from developers that don’t let you access your data.

  • Very cool

    This is really unique and fun.
  • Nice but not perfect

    Nice app great to get you to journal. But does have its flaws. It reminds you every night to write something and won’t let you go back and write previous days which enforces making it a habit. My least favorite thing is you have to earn the ability to send voice/pictures, and to send future ones. There’s also a word cap on your daily messages which I like because I would end up writing forever but I do wish it was just a tad bit longer.

  • Excellent app!

    I use it all the time. It’s a useful method for capturing the gist of each day without overloading it with information. The word count allows me to go back and re-evaluate my thoughts in little blurbs, so I think it’s good feature.

    I wish I could use the plethora of caps I have stockpiled to respond to previous entries or add an extra one for the day. Sometimes I’ll write one prematurely (on a bad note), and the day will ultimately end well: I want to be able to record that change. Still, I’d like that second entry to be separated from the first—if you know what I’m getting at.

    P.S. I also wanted to say I appreciate the today vs. tomorrow option for late night writing. That was really clever.

    I hope you’ll consider my idea, and thanks a lot for your work!

  • Great idea and execution

    The only problem I have with this app is the restriction in capsules I can use. The times you get fragments to buy capsules it’s always a small amount. I would suggest to either give more fragments or lower the price of capsules.
  • great! some suggestions...

    great way to enter a short log about my day. i really like the idea of how i can send a cap to the future as well. i just wish it had more options for how to describe the day. All there is is just “great day” “peaceful day” or “ bad day”. maybe they can add a “fun day” or “boring day” or “generally nice day”. and it offers great security- face ID and/or passcode. I like knowing they are private and protected. Without this app, I’d not only loose a notebook but someone would probably find it and read about my whole life. 😑Overall the best app I have, it really helps me write down all the little things and memories to cherish. I love going back and reading them.
