Family photos

This is the best way to pass down wonderful family photos. They are preserved for the family.

Much Gratitude

It has been a tremendous blessing for me to record memories about my family. The memories are about them and their lives. They dealt with life challenges and continued forward with love and faith. I was afraid when I started doing memories about my mother -afraid I would be too teary-eyed, but I found doing the stories gave me much joy and happiness. I have found that true for every person I do the stories on. I was able to write several stories about someone who was on Family Search that had a daughter who was now a contributor to Family Search - her mother had passed almost 40 years ago and I added stories about the daughter’s mother - it was a blessing for the daughter to read about her mother and her life (the daughter’s mother passed when she - the daughter - was about 10-12 years of age). I had known the mother before the daughter was ever born. Very much a blessing and much gratitude.

Design

I hope there’s an option in the story where we can put the videos without limited storage. I would love to put around 30 pictures in the story. I love picture-taking and preserving memories. I usually use IG to put everything. Now that I found this app, I want to preserve my memories here.

Use this one

As a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints church I don’t think we could do the work that needs to be done without this app. It is just the best for putting in information. ITS FREE AS WELL PLEASE TRY IT OUT!!!

The best journaling app out there!

I love how convenient this app is to put anything I want pictures, thoughts, texts, stories, moments, memories, impressions — all so quickly, and easily all in one place so that my future posterity can have them
