Unhappy
EDIT: the developers say they aren’t linked in any way to the owners of Lifecake! What Lifecake recommended BackThen it was sold as from the developers of Lifecake!! It is not a new all, it is a rehashed Lifecake but with excessive fees. Thanks Lifecake/BackThen.
Response from developer
BackThen is a NEW company and we are not affiliated to Lifecake or its owners. BackThen was created to give parents and their families an alternative to having to move away from the experience they have grown used to. We are self-funded. We understand this price difference is really tough for some to stomach, particularly in this horrible period of global pandemic uncertainty. But regrettably we need to ensure the business is viable and that we can keep the lights on.
Wholeheartedly agree with DK’s Mom
Lifecake sold out
Developer responded and said BackThen is a totally new company. It looks and smells a lot like LifeCake. Fact of the matter is LifeCake is shutting down and is directing users to BackThen. Regardless of if it is a new company or not (which I’m inclined to believe it is directly affiliated with LifeCake), The whole thing still shows disregard for the consumer and just another way to make even more money. I would’ve stuck around if the company decided to bolster their revenue from ads but I’m not shelling out $60/year, which will inevitably increase

When the decision was made to close Lifecake, the original founders decided – rather than let the memories in Lifecake fade away – to quickly build an independent new app to replace it. BackThen. The company is 100% owned by the founders, with no association to Lifecake's parent company.
Love it!
Disappointed - Need a refund for Lifecake
I have contacted Apple and they can’t issue a refund because I started the subscription too long ago.
Please prove to me and others reading this that you’re not trying to steal our money by reaching out to me with a solution. I will update my review at that time.
Fantastic Photo Archiving App for Parents

Refund of Lifecake membership?
So one star for now but will change once sorted
Also feedback...BackThen... terrible name. This is a fun app, should have a fun name. Lifecake was a good name, BackThen is boring and confusing, Back when?
