### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do

*2026-06-03*

Worth paying for it to just work.

### 1/5 — waste of time - they deleted my old logged images from just a few months back

*2026-01-20*

I paid $35 for a year of this to track my weight loss progress. i took a bunch of photos a few months back and uploaded them here & today went to look at them to compare myself now to then & it says “no previous uploads / logs”. i know for a fact that i correctly uploaded them, because there was a few weeks in a row i was taking and uploading the images so they were showing. i did not get a new phone or clear my data. so i wasted $35 for nothing.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’m really sorry you've had this experience, I can see how missing photos would be extremely frustrating. 

If you previously added photos and now the app shows no journeys it’s typically caused by an iCloud setting, account or device change rather than the photos being deleted. We don't actually store photos on any of our own servers to maximize privacy, and there's nothing in the app that would trigger automatic deletion of data. 

Possible scenarios that might be causing what you're seeing:
- iCloud saving for PhotoJourney was enabled, then later turned off. Re-enable it and the photos should restore.
- You were signed into iCloud when you uploaded, then later signed out. Signing back in can bring everything back.
- The iCloud account on the device was switched. Older photos will still be backed up under the original iCloud account.
- iCloud saving for PhotoJourney was enabled, and then the app was deleted and reinstalled, or installed on a new device. As long as you’re signed into the same iCloud account, your journeys and photos should sync back down.
- iCloud saving was not enabled when first using the app, and the app was then deleted and re-installed. This would delete the data along with the app as it was never backed up with iCloud.  

Please check: Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Saved to iCloud → PhotoJourney (make sure it’s enabled), and confirm you’re signed into the same Apple ID you used originally.

If you have a lot of photos to restore (especially after reinstalling or switching devices), open the app and leave it open for several minutes. You should see journeys and photos start to repopulate gradually as iCloud sync completes. If you don’t see anything right away, try briefly switching tabs or reopening the app to prompt a refresh.

I saw you emailed about this issue and I replied right away to help investigate, but I didn’t hear anything back. If you email again (or use “Report a bug” in the app), I’ll pick it up immediately and will continue to assist you. If I can’t resolve it, you can request a refund through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. 

Thanks, Mike (app developer)

### 5/5 — Simple and To The Point

*2026-01-06*

Exactly what I need for objective progress tracking. I paid up front to support the devs, avoid ads, and have a committed tool for the year. The ability to track body photos and face photos in separate journeys is really powerful when implementing lifestyle changes. Thank you for this app that delivers an easy experience that meets what it offers!! That's rare these days.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying using PhotoJourney for tracking body and face photos! Please get in touch any time if you have feedback or suggestions on new features, I'd be happy to hear them. – Thanks, Mike (app developer)

### 5/5 — It’s awsome

*2025-12-31*

Awsome

### 2/5 — 😕

*2025-09-29, version 1.11.1*

the app was super good at first till after 4 dayd of tracking it stopped letting me track it and said i needed pro. a notice before using it for a while wouldve been helpful as it was quite demotivating to atop tracking my progress.

### 5/5 — I like that is app

*2025-09-28*

Ok

### 1/5 — App DELETED all my PHOTOS & JOURNEYS

*2025-09-19*

I still have a 1-year active subscription that doesn’t expire until November 2025. I had 5 Journeys I had created. One day I open the app & ALL my photos had been deleted, which also meant all my 5 Journeys had been deleted. There was literally nothing left. Even worse, my absolute mistake in hindsight, the app gives you the option to save the photos you take in your camera roll on the phone or only in the app on your journeys—idiot me chose “save in app only”. I had daily things I tracked for months. Oh & btw, this is the second review I’m leaving bc when this occurred a few months back, nothing was done about this. I’m still paying for months that I don’t have access to & journeys I have to start all over, which really blows to lose all that progress tracking, gone. Would give negative stars if I could. DO NOT USE THIS APP.

**Developer response:** Hi, firstly I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. We do everything we can to ensure photos are secure and backed up at all times. The app uses your iCloud account (if signed in on your device) in addition to storage within the app to store your photos and journeys. We purposely don't store photos or journeys on our servers to ensure complete privacy, and so that only you can access your photos. If you were logged into iCloud when initially creating journeys or adding photos and then later logged out of iCloud, switched the iCloud account on your device or disabled saving to iCloud for PhotoJourney specifically, it could make journeys / photos seem to disappear, but they should still be backed up in the original iCloud account. Please check your iCloud settings (Go to: Settings > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > PhotoJourney) to double-check PhotoJourney is enabled for iCloud backup there. So long as you were using iCloud (and sign back in with the same account on your device), journeys and photos should re-appear in the app when you re-enable this setting. When the app re-stores photos / journeys from iCloud, either after an app deletion or an iCloud settings change, it may take several minutes photos to appear in the app. If you've never deleted the app, or changed your iCloud settings, then it is extremely unusual for photos or journeys to randomly disappear from the app. I can imagine how frustrating this must be though so once again I apologize for this poor experience. If the steps above regarding iCloud configuration don't resolve your issue and you would like to request a refund you can go to https://reportaproblem.apple.com and do so there, as I would of course be happy for your subscription to be refunded. In terms of improving our app and ensuring this doesn't happen again for you or others, it would be helpful if you could get in touch via the 'Report a bug' option from settings within the app. This sends us an email that includes some information about your device and iOS version, so we can try and better pinpoint the root cause of the issue you experienced. Or if you'd like to get in touch straight away with any thoughts or questions, please reach out to me directly at photojourney@shipyardstudios.io - Thanks, Mike

### 1/5 — Can’t use app without paying

*2025-09-04*

Unfortunately it’s a pay only app. Not interested.

### 2/5 — Great app, terrible cost

*2025-08-26*

The app is really well made and helpful, but once you are committed and you hit the limits on the free version, you are asked to pay $8/week or $35/year before being able to take more pictures, despite the fact that I think it runs entirely on your phone (no backend costs).

Those prices are way too much. Which is a shame, because like I said, it's a well-made app. I would have definitely paid for the Pro version if the cost was more reasonable, but instead I will have to abandon it for now. If the price is lowered in the future I would love to come back to it.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks so much for the kind words about PhotoJourney being well made, and for giving it a try!

I understand your concern about pricing. To give some context, as an independent developer, the subscription helps support me directly as income and it is how I’m able to afford to keep improving the app. 

I also made a deliberate choice to not use backend servers. Instead photos stay on your device and are backed up in your own iCloud account, which means they’re completely private and only you can access them. That’s actually a big security advantage over many other apps that upload and store personal photos on their own systems.

The subscription also allows me to dedicate time to building new features and providing dedicated support for PhotoJourney’s users — again, something many other apps don’t provide.

I’d be interested to understand more about what you’d consider a fair price for the app, and if you have any other feedback on the app’s features, so feel free to reach out at photojourney@shipyardstudios.io if you’d like to discuss further.

— Mike

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-07-28*

Works so well for me

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review. If you have any further feedback or questions, please reach out anytime to photojourney@shipyardstudios.io – Mike.
