However, as a non-owner of the account I can’t add photos without paying a huge fee, the app itself is full of ads making the UI such a mess, and the notifications are SO spammy (“buy this photo book ”/ “get this before time runs out” etc) - so all notifications are turned off, and thus I look at it far less. Too much greed by the app owners has spoilt a good idea. ### 5/5 — Best family albums *2026-08-27, version 22.51.0* Great app for family memories ❤️👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Our Grandson *2026-08-27, version 22.51.0* We have loved looking at all of his photos from the day he was born to now . He is 3 now and we are thousands of miles apart . ### 5/5 — Love this site *2026-08-27, version 22.51.0* Excellent place to see pictures anytime, anywhere in the world! I love this site because I can see my great-grandchild daily (through pictures) since I’m often out the country. This way I don’t have to nag wanting to see more pictures. I love this site! ### 5/5 — Not a moment Missed *2026-08-26, version 22.51.0* This has been a joy for us to see her grow before our eyes through pictures. Being able to share pictures when she visits us has been fun for the whole family. Liked it so much the first year we renewed for a second year. Prints ordered are very affordable. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2026-08-26, version 22.51.0* Greatest app ever ### 5/5 — New to this *2026-08-25, version 22.51.0* Precious Precious Memories!!!! ### 5/5 — SO pleased! *2026-08-25, version 22.51.0* Loving this app. I can keep up to date with my grandchildren quite easily. ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-08-24, version 22.51.0* Remove the ads ### 5/5 — Paige *2026-08-24, version 22.51.0* I love the family album. Pictures of our great grandchild delight me. ### 5/5 — Family *2026-08-24, version 22.51.0* I like that I get to see my family pictures when they upload it. I never barely see my family every year and seeing my fam genuinely makes me happy. ### 3/5 — great app too many popups *2026-08-23, version 22.51.0* i love this app it’s a great way to send photos of my nephew to the whole family, but do not buy it if u don’t plan on paying for anything! i want to see a photo i just added to the album but its kind of hard when you are constantly seeing that u need to buy an album or pictures stop this insane amount of self promotion!! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2026-08-23, version 22.51.0* FamilyAlbum is the type of app that actually cares about what features its users want. They are always looking to improve the app for the user’s benefit! The app itself is easy to use and I’ve already recommended it to two of my friends who just had kids. It’s easy to add photos and family members. My family loves using the app to look at photos of my kids! I LOVE THIS APP! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! ### 5/5 — Family *2026-08-23, version 22.51.0* Beautiful app to share your most beautiful moments with friends and family without it being social media ### 3/5 — Great for sharing with family but don’t make any in app orders *2026-08-23, version 22.51.0* This app is great to share pictures and videos easily to all family members, they can all comment and upload if you allow which is nice. However, in app purchases of photos and photo albums is unreliable, after 5 months I have yet to receive them. The safest and easiest option would be to get them printed somewhere else and just virtually share them here. ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-08-22, version 22.51.0* We’ve been using this app for almost 5 years now and we love it! The only thing I wish was that we could reply directly to the comments left on photos! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-02, version 22.52.0* I’ve been using this app for over 6 years and I loved it! I told all my friends about it and recommended it to everyone with children. Now, it has just become annoying and I am actively searching for a new app as the amount of ads is ridiculous! Sure, do ads at the beginning when you open the app or have banners at the top like you used to, but to interrupt the photos after every 5 photos or so to show an ad is just crazy! Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Mm I min Nan *2026-08-30, version 22.51.0* My mmmkm mm Mmm ### 1/5 — Defeats purpose of the app *2026-08-27, version 22.51.0* I have to delete the app, we downloaded the app so that family could see photos of our child but not save or download them. So far it has been great. But now everyone has just received an offer saying they can buy prints of the photos and we can’t stop them. This completely defeats the entire purpose of the app, what’s the point in stopping people from saving the photos if they can just print them off instead. Will be deleting and finding somewhere else. Terrible. ### 1/5 — フォトブックの印刷品質について *2026-08-27* 2023年からアプリの利用を始め、3年間で(2025年まで)フォトブックを20冊近く作製しました。 そのフォトブックの印刷の色調に限定してのレビューです。 編集に際しては、アプリにカラーマネージメントの機能がないので、元画像が暗いと思われる場合はスマホで感覚的に補正してから、再度アップロードして編集・発注し、仕上がりに特に問題はなかったのですが、今年(2026年)久しぶりに今まで通りの方法で編集・発注して作製されたものは、以前とは全然色調が異なって、すべて暗く、黒ずんだような仕上がりで、特に人の肌色は許容範囲を超えるものでした(10冊程全て)。 贈り物だったのですが、あまりの色の悪さに渡すことができず廃棄しました。 考えられる原因としては、 ①スマホ機種替えで(iPhone11→16e) 写真アプリが変わったこと、②印刷設定が変わったこと、がありそうですが、ユーザー側では対処ができず、仕上がりを見るまでは色調の状態がわからないというのでは、安心して注文できません。 フォトブックづくりを楽しみにしていたのですが、今後はもう使えないのはとても残念です。 ユーザー側の対処方法、あるいはアプリ側の環境などの改善の余地はないものでしょうか。 ＜付記＞ 技術的に面倒な案件なので恐らくスルーされるとは思いますが、承知の上で投稿します。 ### 1/5 — App WAS great *2026-08-12, version 22.50.0* This app was great until they began charging for things that were once free, began losing photos I ordered, and began shoving ads down my throat. Terrible update. People don’t like this, you’re going to lose business. ### 1/5 — Never got my prints… *2026-08-04, version 22.50.0* I ordered prints 2 times and never got my them. there’s no way to track through the app so now I’m nervous some creep has my child’s pictures ### 1/5 — Terrible customer service & ship times *2026-08-03, version 22.50.0* The photo sharing is good but they offer free print each month. The prints can take upwards of 7 weeks to ship and if they somehow get lost, customer service is basically auto-chat/AI. I have consistently been disappointed with customer service and I question the value you get since it’s a monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Trying to email about an order I have not received *2026-07-30, version 22.49.0* I have not received my order that I placed and received notification it shipped on June 29, 2026. My order number is ---------------------------------- [Order ID] ch_3Tm0tnH0xluGHNIg19bF77O2 ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2026-07-28, version 22.49.0* I’m genuinely surprised it has so many good reviews. It’s not customizable at all aside from a few sharing aspects that aren’t even worth paying for. You can’t make albums, put titles or explanations on photos. And there’s no cross compatibility ### 1/5 — So unhappy with the changes *2026-07-27, version 22.49.0* Space is now taken away from the picture because of ads and unable now to turn phone to get landscape mode ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful family album *2026-09-09, version 22.52.0* We absolutely love the family album. All of our family and friends are able to go on here! It’s a nice app that you can have where all your pictures are private and only family and friends can see. I love that we can post pictures or videos of our children. I also love that they have a shop where you can purchase pictures and gifts of your littles! So convenient better than Walgreens! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-09-09, version 22.52.0* We’ve been enjoying it so much since we got a new addition to our family! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-09-08, version 22.52.0* We love being able to share watch our granddaughter grow. Being able to see her and share with family is the he best. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — FamilyAlbum *2026-09-07, version 22.52.0* I love this app bc I get to go back to see my baby cousin and see her when she was first born ### 5/5 — My Great-Nephews *2026-09-04, version 22.52.0* How great to watch them grow! Pictures and videos all in one place. My niece has become an expert in organizing them. ### 5/5 — Great photo sharing app *2026-09-03, version 22.52.0* The best app for securely sharing photos of your family and kids. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Add button *2026-09-02, version 22.52.0* Love it but for the love of god why does the add button exist if you moved it to a new spot just to notify you it moved. Just remove it lol ### 5/5 — Must Have *2026-09-01, version 22.52.0* This app is amazing for keeping families connected and makes it easy on parents sharing photos. Love love love ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-28, version 22.51.0* Awesome app like the options n groups of pictures!!! I tell all my friends at work about how great this site is especially new parents… so many like it. Great job! I really enjoy the groups you have like pets and this time last year etc…. 👍🌈😊👏 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-27, version 22.51.0* Why wouldn’t I love it?
