### 4/5 — Very fun idea but needs cloud integration

*2026-03-14, version 2026.1*

The concept for this app is a lot of fun, it’s a nice way to rediscover old videos. But since most of my videos are in Google Photos, the app is missing a large swath of old videos not stored on my device. 
Overall, a nice app but wish it had cloud function.

### 5/5 — Really cool

*2026-01-28, version 2026.1*

I hope this app goes viral

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-01-08, version 2025.7*

Lots of fun. A simple way to surface videos of my children.

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2025-11-13, version 2025.7*

Love it

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-10-12, version 2025.7*

Truly amazing app, I usually don't use more than once some apps I downloaded because thought it's cool, but I found myself going back and back to this app so many times, I love the way it plays some random video, and it gives such a memory vibe effect to it, everything so right, I like the shuffle option,  I was surprised many many times when I was watching some videos from years ago that I forgot about, but the footage was so amazing, I was a fool to forget about those, but can't keep remembering it all.
I appreciate making a shortcut for it too, I can start a shuffle cossette straight from a lock screen, good job man.
I was using it for almost 2 months now, came back to thank you

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-10-09, version 2025.7*

Great app to randomly watch captured video. Would give 5 star if it had the ability to airplay/cast it to the TV, or an AppleTv app

### 5/5 — My favorite new app in years

*2025-10-04, version 2025.7*

For years I’ve been looking for (and gradually considering just making) a no-fuss app that stitches together short videos taken around the same place and time into one video that’s more convenient to watch and keeps all that metadata generally intact. Never found one that does it quite the way I want. 

This also isn’t that app, but the way it presents all those little videos as one “tape” is as if that app I want exists and was used to make the videos I’m watching here. It’s such a delight to watch a bunch of short phone videos this way, and of course the VHS presentation makes the experience even better than what I’d been wanting all this time. Such a fun experience on multiple levels. 

Thank you, stranger, for making not the app I’ve been looking for, but one that gives me what I’ve always wanted and more.

### 5/5 — TikTok about your life

*2025-09-19, version 2025.7*

It’s really addicting and it’s like TikTok I scroll and I see random parts of my life that I forgot about and it certainly satisfying.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-09-18, version 2025.7*

This app… so good. It’s an automatic download. Recording it to everyone I know.

### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥

*2025-09-17, version 2025.7*

This is really cool! Absolutely love this app

• Replaced diacritic marks in locations names.

### 2025.5 — 2025-08-14

• Added support for landscape orientation in the video player. I can only apologise this wasn't in the initial release.
