the greatest time capsule

this app is incredible. i have been using this for 6 years and to see my life, day by day, is so beautiful. I have my main “life” project, which I occasionally journaling and have clips from most days for the past six years. From that I have these branches that I have created such as moments in nature, different cities, I’ve lived in or for specific friends or aspects of my career. So beyond just my main life, I do have all these other montages of specific areas or people. this is a great gift when celebrating an anniversary or a friendship because especially if they aren’t expecting, it can be such a wonderful gift to them! It synced to the cloud and I don’t have to worry about it disappearing. Be able to watch each year and review at the end of the year is wonderful because it truly puts into perspective how full my life is. I can also hide things if I want it just for me and I can journal moments within the journal settings. There are times like a week or months without posting and it’s so nice because they have a feature that doesn’t auto fill so everything from your camera roll just gets put into the week or month you choose and you can fill in that space. it can also turn Live Photos into video which is such an useful feature. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking video or photos often so that can always translate into this app easily. This is truly been a life-changing app and for the decades to come I’m so excited to watch my life story.

My favourite app!

I love this app and have been using it daily for years. Not only is it a great journal, but it’s good to have something to remind you of the small positive things that happen every day of your life. We travel a lot and I mash a video for every trip, plus I run a mash as a record of each year. I recently had a problem with uploading a 13 minute video and got in touch with the support team who were super responsive and helpful. It turned out to be nothing to do with the app, but they were so great in helping me get it done. Highly recommended.

The app is super intuitive and a great tool to remember special moments throughout your year! The support team is great as well. Super friendly and quick to help. Everyone should have this app!

Meh

It was good until the app got deleted awhile ago, and I had been using it since 2023 August and now everything is gone

So sorry to hear that! Please reach out to us through Settings / Contact Support so we can let you know about what options you have to create backups and keep your data safe.

Way too many ads

I used to love this app, now I can’t stand it at all. You get an ad after every photo you add - it’s unbearable.

The app sends you the cutest reminders!

A great app in many ways, but my favourite thing about it has to be the daily notifications that remind you to take your 1 second video! They are different almost every day and some are so creative and funny! Definitely turn them on if you download this app :)

App now opens at the top of project

With one of the latest updates, the app now opens at the top of my project instead of the end where you add new clips. Not only is this annoying, because you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to add your next clip (which is every day in my case), but I liked when it opened at the end so I wouldn’t see the older clips and get a nice surprise when I watch them all back at the end of the year. Now I keep seeing the first clips every time I open the app, so it won’t be much of a surprise to watch back. I’ve been using the app for 10 years and it has worked well for me so far aside from this detail.
UPDATE: Their support team reached out to me and was very thorough about trying to diagnose the cause, but unfortunately it seems to be some kind of bug that is only happening on my end. I do appreciate their patience in trying to solve the problem, but unfortunately it looks like the something the developers will have to look into.

Hi Amslakdkqkdka,, this sounds like a bug, but I don’t see it on our test devices. Can you please reach out to support@1secondeveryday.com with a screen recording so we can have a look? > "I’ve been using the app for 10 years and hate to give it a bad review" Wow, ten years is an amazing streak! I hope you’ve logged some great memories and have some beautiful videos to look back on. ❤️

Serious problems - edit: Fixed!

I have enjoyed this app and a pro subscription for several years now. However, upon starting my new subscription for the year, I find that I am not accessing pro anymore. Which I have paid for. The contact support button no longer works in the app. The website has no way of contacting Support on it. So I don’t seem to have any means to get this fixed. I’ve now paid for a one year subscription to an app which is not giving me what I paid for. At this point, I would have to recommend new users to not bother getting pro.

Edit: after jumping through a few hoops, I managed to contact support. They fixed my problem. And I see the support button in app now works again. Well-done, One Second - thank you, number of stars changed!

Long time user

This app has been my favourite way to remain connected with loved ones across the country. A nice monthly update, a great way to see the best(or most important part) of each day. (Although I do also love the other non-traditional feature for highlighting vacation/important events.)

We love to hear this! Thanks for the love! 💕

Why would I pay for something I previously got for free? This app has become a disappointment

No longer enjoying using this app because that have now put certain features behind a paywall. They have made it so you can no longer export the video without their watermark on your video. Their previous free version would allow you to do this, but now if you want to export the video you will have to deal with them putting their big ugly watermark on your video. It’s disappointing when apps come out with cool features and then take them away in an attempt to get you to pay for their app.

I will be deleting this app as I don’t want to pay for something I was PREVIOUSLY GETTING FOR FREE. They knew exactly what they were doing by making the watermark permanent unless you have the pro version and I won’t be participating in their money-hungry capitalistic bid for more profits.
