Love the Concept
I fell in love with this app during a trial. I have it set to ask me a question every night after I put my little one to bed, and it is nice to reflect on the day. I purchased the app because I thought it was such a great concept. Unfortunately, since purchasing it I am rarely using it. I find I am receiving many of the same questions I have already answered, and while I understand that babies change and therefore the answer could change... this is not really the case for the questions being asked. I am no longer excited to answer the questions each night as they have become boring and repetitive. I wish I would have just stuck to the free version.
That being said, it is a great app otherwise and I do recommend it. But I am just not as excited for it as I was originally was and can’t see myself ordering a book as they look fairly basic.Show lessSunshine&Sunsets
Book is SO expensive
UPDATE: I received my book.
I’m glad to have all of her memories in one place, however the book is so cheap and flimsy. Especially when I have paid $115. It is flimsier than most paperback books, and I don’t think it will probably last very long with us looking through and reading the memories. :(
I love that I can type memories/journal entries in Qeepsake at any time. I’ve enjoyed the questions and the app works pretty well. BUT I just went to place an order for the book (I’ve been doing a couple entries per week for my daughters first year) and the book is $170 for hardcover and $94 for a softcover. That is CRAZY! Almost $100 for a softcover book that I can’t even really customize? For example, there are some pages with just one question/response and no picture, and it takes up the entire page because they enlarged the text to a huge font. I would much rather have that small response show up on another page. On top of the crazy price, they charge $15 for shipping. $15 to ship a softcover book? I put so much energy into writing responses all year for my daughter’s first year, and I feel so disappointed that the book is going to cost so much.Show lessBethT25

Hi BethT25, Thanks for previewing your book and we're sorry about the price shock. The cost is associated with the number of pages you have in your book. It sounds like you have close to 150+ pages. There are two ways to decrease the page count. First, you can use the date selection tool to scope down the number of entries in the book. Secondly, you can deselect specific entries - http://bit.ly/2Tvba4C - like the single page entries. The single-page entries show up if they can't fit on a page with the other content such as it's a single text-only entry in between entries with photos. Qeepsake has a hierarchy rule that all entries stay in chronological order. Shipping is more expensive because we go with 2-3 day shipping (in the U.S.) and every order comes with a tracking number. If you need help scaling down your book or have questions about the process, please email us at support@qeepsake.com, and we can help you out.Canadian buyers beware
I bought the app because I thought it was a great idea. I bought the full app for the year with the idea that I would get a book done at the end the end of the year.
I like the idea of responding to texts and editing became tolerable after the update.
Living in Canada however, has made ordering the book unaffordable. A basic soft cover book cost me 147.00 Canadian and I’m typing this to add that as of today, I was charged an additional 43 dollars for customs! There’s no warning for those outside of the States when you’re buying the app (about how much the books will really cost!). Only 6 dollars of that was for taxes, the rest was a UPS processing fee!
(UPDATE: Qeepsake refunded me the brokerage fee and are looking into modifying how they mail internationally).
The book is no longer going to be a lovely keepsake, but a reminder of when I was duped into spending more than I can afford on mat leave!
Yes it’s a great concept, but not worth the cost (especially for those outside of the USA).Show lessHazycloud82
None of My Children Have Baby Books
I’m not exactly the scrapbooker and frankly struggle to actually print out pictures to put in frames. As a mom who feels likes she’s trying to squeeze it all into a day but also balancing being present in the moment to soak in the awesomeness of her children, I really appreciate these small reminders to document the special moments. Which most of the time, aren’t even monumental, they’re just full of joy watching them grow. I started with Qeepsake early on, so I give the app 5 stars because I’ve seen how far they’ve come. I know it will keep getting better but at this point, they’re still ramping up, so not everything is perfect but nothing that should stop you from signing up for annual package.Show lessGreat For Baby Room
Love idea/concept - not necessarily questions
I was one if the people who signed up before they even launched. I now have two children's journals going. My reason for not 5 stars is questions aren't always relevant seasonally or age appropriate and repeat too frequently sometimes. I think in the 2-3 Ive been asked like 8-10 times his favorite color. He was a baby I get does Alexander like snow in August - we don't live in Alaska how about ask that in January or February yet i got no questions about Christmas.
Oh the other thing i wish you could do os add more than one photo per entry. When i want more than one, I cheat the system by using a collage maker.
Overall I really like. Total lifesaver because I had all the grand intentions on doing the baby book but just never got to it. I plan to eventually order books just haven't yet.Show lessskittleskml
Easy way to record special moments!
I was so bad at keeping a baby with my first because she had such severe acid reflux, that I never had a moment I wasn’t holding her to fill it out! I knew with my second that I needed to find something that I could get all the important photos and memories in easily. I always have my phone on me, so this was just the perfect answer!!
I love that I can add unlimited photos with little notes and I will be purchasing the expandable book for both of my kids! Love love love! I felt so terrible not writing down the date my oldest started walking in her baby book, but with Qeepsake, I know I’ll have all of the major milestones recorded for both of my kids!! ❤️❤️❤️Show lessTleaet
Just Amazing!
Wow, I love this app! It is so nice to have a quick way to record precious memories with my baby. I love that while I’m nursing I can write a quick description, attach a photo, and it’s saved! Like most new moms, I take so many photos of my baby! But why? What am I going to do with them besides cry looking at them when I have to go back to work?! Well, now I have a place to bring meaning and life to each photo!! I just can’t say enough about this app, and I’ve told all my mommy friends about it. Two suggestions though: I’d like to be able to add more than one photo to a post. And it would be so cool if while you are adding entries, you could be seeing virtually how it’s filling up your baby book. Like have a digital view of the book you’re creating. It would keep me motivated to continue to write more and purchase the book in the end. Thanks Qeepsake!!!Show lessDolanskiDan
Awesome App
I am beyond grateful for the Qeepsake app. I want to record and remember as much as I can about my daughter and her so very many first experiences as she adjusts to life outside of the womb and grows from infancy to toddlerhood and beyond. I love having the ability to do so at my fingertips and so often in the moment (or not long after). I’d love to think that I may one day have the time to put together a baby book. But since I figure it may be a while before I find the time to do so, this is a great alternate option. I agree with many of the upgrades suggested in the other reviews I have read but think the Qeepsake app is awesome for all that it allows me to currently do.Show lessgleichel18
Qeepsake - keeping parents of young ones guilt free!
I love this app and have recommended it to many friends and family. It’s a great way to capture the little moments without feeling the pressure to sit down for hours at a time and scrapbook, because what mom or dad of young ones have time for that ?!?! The text questions are perfect because they get you thinking about things you might not have written about or just remind you to add an entry even if not in response to the questions that are asked. It’s also super easy to add an entry because there are multiple ways to do so: text, web based, app and social media. Lastly the designers are constantly asking the users how they can make their product better and seriously take our thoughts and ideas into consideration!Show lessJamieMacCar
Great so far
I think this is a great way of keeping track. It’s easy to upload photos & memories. I gave this 4 stars because I think some of the questions are not appropriate based on the age of my baby. I’ve just left those questions unanswered & may come back to them when they apply. Also, I feel like there should really be a way to load more than one photo per comment. For example I loaded baby shower pics. I’d rather be able to just upload all of them with one comment rather than having to do one at a time with separate comments. One thing I dislike is that the app doesn’t show the date of the photo/comment you’ve uploaded. It says 2 weeks ago. I want to know the date. You have to edit the comment in order to see the actual date. Right now, my baby is only 8 weeks old. I will probably order a book at age 1. I will be very curious to see how it comes out. I hope it is of high quality and resembles a baby book.Show lesskatinsrq

Hi Katinsrq, Thank you for taking time to give us such great feedback. We strive to ensure that Qeepsake’s questions are as age-appropriate as possible for most parents, though admittedly since child develops at a different pace, Qeepsake’s questions may not always be relevant to every parent. If there are specific questions you think are off, feel free to email us at support@qeepsake.com and we’ll relay your feedback to the content team. We appreciate your suggestions about adding multiple photos and viewing the date of an entry, and we will take your feedback into account as make improvements to the app.
