### 5/5 — Incredible for sharing and chatting

*2014-12-26, version 1.6.0*

I share all my family pictures and can instantly messages everybody - they reply back - and it's all fun. An intuitive way to share and talk about things.

### 4/5 — More sharing

*2014-12-24, version 1.6.0*

The app is really really good - one small suggestion - allow us to share more things in a group and have different different custom preset groups. Sharing all sorts of things should be possible.

### 5/5 — Great Design

*2014-12-24, version 1.6.0*

A wonderful App wrapped up in an excellent  interface. Simply the best - extremely powerful. Sharing is now so much easier.

### 5/5 — Family reunion

*2014-12-23, version 1.6.0*

It keeps the entire family close together. We have all our family albums put here and can all view it from the app itself. Even if want to talk, we can send messages via the app.

### 5/5 — Best of all worlds!

*2014-12-09, version 1.6.0*

Love the approach, so visual but social and family friendly at the same time! Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-11-22, version 1.5.0*

Introduced to this app by a friend. Now all the family use it. Great way for us to share and keep our experiences in a safe environment. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — At last !

*2014-05-21, version 1.2.0*

As a social media user I finally found a way to stay connected, to share without feeling over exposed. Perfect for my kids, I'm willing to let them start the social media experience in this controlled environment...

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-03-21, version 1.1*

A great app with a good future or a safe digital footprint. A good environment.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate!

*2014-02-17, version 1.0*

This app is a great, easy site for our family to share our child's events with friends and family around the world. I love that it is invite only & not posted all over the Internet. Thank you for making a family friendly site for us to use with our family as they grow!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-10-02, version 2.0.4*

Very sketchy app! Avoid! I’m very worried they stole our data.

### 1/5 — Hard to use.

*2018-07-24, version 2.0.4*

Not intuitive or user friendly. Everything is the same color and very confusing to navigate.

### 1/5 — Help!

*2018-06-01*

I can't get into this! When I enter it, it just kicks me out! It's either this device sucks or this has a problem.

### 1/5 — Unable to connect to server

*2017-07-18, version 2.0.1*

Every time I try to register or log in, I get a notification that says unable to connect to server. What a waste of time and a waste of fun and that's why I don't do geckolife anymore.

### 2/5 — Needs a few improvements

*2019-01-14*

Notification do not work in iOS 
UI is not very intuitive for children or adults

### 2/5 — Would be a lot better if the notifications worked

*2018-11-23, version 2.0.4*

The canvases work great for messaging. I love the fact I can let my child message family and friends. The BIG draw back is that everybody I know has tried to get the notifications to pop up saying there is a new message in the canvas, but it never alerts them. No notifications or sounds for a new message means you don’t know a message is there unless you open the app to check. Sure there is a notifications section there that tells you which canvases have new messages, but you have to open the app to see it. The app ask to allow push notifications to the device. They are turned on. We want these to work. We want alerts that a new message is there as soon as it is posted. Allowing you to choose push notifications from specific canvases would be nice, but right now I’d just be happy if I could get push notifications to work at all. I’ll keep using this app while I search for something else because it allows security for my child to safely message family and friends. If I find something better, I’ll switch if this doesn’t get better though. If it improves, I’ll change my review to a better rating.

### 3/5 — Hopefully I Can Edit This!

*2020-06-12, version 2.0.4*

This seemed like a great concept, and I was going to use this platform to chat with classmates, but I am not getting my verification email even though I’ve resended it about 7 times.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2018-04-10, version 2.0.4*

It is a good app except I feel like it’s deserted because the latest post was in 2015!

### 3/5 — Login

*2014-12-29, version 1.6.0*

There is a sign up issue for me. Cannot sign up or login.

### 4/5 — Photos

*2014-12-30, version 1.6.0*

So iCloud does offer sharing of photos from one device to another and even sharing albums with people . Now this app does that as well,but it requires the other person to have this installed. Messaging is good feature,canvases are also unique . Similarly,more unique features should be added and I am sure this will go long way. They have got the core concept which is very strong.

### 5/5 — Incredible application

*2025-01-10, version 2.0.4*

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-03-11, version 2.0.4*

I love it I love it can’t get any better way safer then Facebook

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2018-07-24, version 2.0.4*

Works well for groups that seek privacy

### 5/5 — A lot safer than Facebook & Twitter

*2016-07-13, version 1.8.4*

This app is so much better than Facebook and Twitter because you don't have to worry about people badmouthing you or random people who are sending you friend requests or follower requests.... Imagine GeckoLife as Facebook and Twitter for people with disabilities and with GeckoLife, people with disabilities don't have to worry about strangers sending them friend requests or follower requests. I would strongly recommend GeckoLife for people with disabilities so they can keep in touch with friends and family.... Way to go GeckoLife, keep up the great work!!!

### 5/5 — Sharing is caring

*2014-12-30, version 1.6.0*

I love sharing stuff with all my friends- with this I can share specific album band pictures with different set of people easily. If you have kids, you have kids, you can even block specific pictures. It binds people together.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2014-12-29, version 1.6.0*

Perfect design, interface, idea and execution. Awaiting more updates and features.

### 5/5 — Get it

*2014-12-29, version 1.6.0*

A very cool concept that has been brilliantly executed.
