### 4/5 — Miss delete option

*2026-03-14, version 3.9.4*

I miss the option where we could delete photos and videos from within the app! It was a great way to upload a months worth of videos while also cleaning out my camera roll. Please bring that back :) also a way to turn off the “filter out screenshots” option for longer than just a day. It’s annoying to have to toggle it every time I switch days to upload

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2026-01-11, version 3.9.2*

Not a fan of the new update

### 4/5 — Great app for year wrap ups

*2025-12-30, version 3.9.1*

I use this app to catalog a picture/video a day. It’s easy enough to use and you can even send a reminder notification to ensure you take a picture each day.

### 4/5 — Love, but would like some export customisation

*2025-01-01, version 3.8.0*

Love this app!! I’ve tried a few other apps that serve the same purpose, but this one definitely allows me the most freedom in picking videos (e.g. sometimes i like to do more than one a day). One feature I’d love to see is being able to edit the date (e.g. scale, location, format) as it often get’s cropped out in instagram reels in it’s current position in the bottom left corner :/

### 2/5 — Unable to export videos

*2024-07-09, version 3.7.6*

App crashed when trying to export videos so I contacted support. Response was to make sure  I didn’t have any Live Photos in the app. 

First of all, the impetus should not be placed on the consumer to do this. Second of all, it would be a ridiculous amount of work to try to troubleshoot this. 

I give up and won’t be renewing my annual subscription. Disappointed that there isn’t a better fix for a paying customer.

### 2/5 — Disappointing update

*2024-06-06, version 3.7.3*

I am a big fan of this app but after recently updating via the App Store it completely deleted all previous work. I’m sure there’s a way you can update your app without doing this or letting people know before they update. Hate this

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-01-17, version 3.7.1*

So many videos uploaded become corrupt on the app that it cannot even create a compilation of your moments using your photos or videos. The only solution from customer service is for you to go through every single video/photo, deleting and replacing until the compilation video works. Terrible app which is not capable to do as advertised.

### 1/5 — Can't Open

*2024-01-01, version 3.2.0*

Can't open the app without it crashing. Very frustrating considering the how pricey this app can get.

### 1/5 — Cannot export

*2024-01-01, version 3.7.1*

Could not export video. What is the point if the app cannot do that??

### 1/5 — Can’t upload videos, no customer support

*2023-11-19, version 3.7.1*

After paying for premium and using the app for a few months all was working well, until recently when the app won’t allow me to upload videos and an error message appears. I messaged customer support many times but no reply whatsoever so unfortunately I would not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Waste of 11 months of my life

*2023-11-15, version 3.7.1*

Got to November and then everything deleted

### 1/5 — How to fix app error?

*2023-11-01, version 3.7.1*

I have absolutely loved using this app!🥹
However, the message: “Too many index entries for entity” has popped up every single time I have tried to upload a new video onto the app.. 😭
Is there any way to fix this? I am as currently using the premium subscription and it hasn't seemed to help fix the issue..🥲
I have ended up deleting some videos from past months in hopes it would fix the problem,  which is really upsetting💔
It would be such a shame if there is no solution as I literally use this app to document my daily life😭

Has anyone else had this issue? 
If so, how did you resolve the problem?

### 1/5 — Worst App In The Entire World

*2023-10-23, version 3.2.0*

This is the app I've used for 3 years now to do my kids' annual birthday videos, documenting an entire year of their lives. The brilliant design of the app is that it populates pics from each day of that year. The HORRIBLE part is that it crashes over and over again when uploading pics...and THEN, when you go to put a video together, it throws an export error code routinely, preventing you from actually making anything   after spending HOURS uploading pics to each day in order to make the video. I had this issue last year and it's happening again now. Same customer service issue too. Their "Help Center" is a joke and the chat feature takes up to 2 weeks to respond to you. Then, the "help" isn't really helpful. They just tell you "sorry, you need to go back through and export portions to find where the error is, then delete it". Really?! How is this MY job as the consumer, especially after paying for a service? I wish I could get a refund of my subscription along with a refund of the hours of my life I've poured into making this app work   a refund for emotional damages from having to wait on their customer support team that doesn't exist. Screw you guys.

### 2/5 — deleted all my videos and can’t make new ones!

*2023-09-20, version 3.7.1*

I love this app but it has a lot of issues since I updated the software on my iPhone, the app deleted all my videos and it won’t let me make new ones either - it comes up with an error message. It’s done this before and I let it slide because I enjoyed this app so much I bought the pro version hoping it won’t happen again but it did... I reached out but not heard anything in back in two weeks. I would like a refund please

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work, Support doesn’t respond

*2023-09-14, version 3.7.1*

$30 for the app that doesn’t work.  :-(  Getting an error message with the video export, which makes the app unusable. Been trying for over a week to get a hold of their support team through the ‘Contact Us’ feature - but no response.  :-(  
Their status says “back online later today” but the message status keeps saying “not seen”.  Money wasted.

### 1/5 — A joke…

*2026-08-25, version 3.10.5*

I can’t even purchase this app via iPad. The orientation is horrendous and no purchase button. lol!!

### 1/5 — Crashes out constantly

*2026-07-08, version 3.10.3*

I got this app a few years ago and it worked amazing. Uploading videos was so easy. Then I didn’t use it and deleted it for a year or so. When i reinstalled it, it must have updated?? Now it looks so much worse and it makes my phone crash every time I try to put a video in. Not even a long video, one that’s like 5 seconds. It can’t function and is a completely broken app. Super disappointing considering it literally worked so well previously. Now I have to find a different app to use. Whatever app developers are working on this, it’s not going well, guys.

### 1/5 — $50 a year for videos over a second

*2026-01-01, version 3.9.1*

For an app that could be replaced by an album on your phone that is COMICAL.

### 1/5 — Poor functionality and fake trail

*2025-06-14, version 3.8.0*

Bad functionality - often freezing and no time shown when recording. I selected a 7 day trial but was charged the full amount right away.

### 1/5 — UPDATE HAS RUINED IT

*2024-12-24, version 3.8.0*

The app used to let you pick a date and it had all your photos and videos from that date loaded. NOW it just goes to your normal camera roll, so you have to go back in your roll, sometimes almost an entire year or so, to try and find your memories from that day which completely defeats the purpose of the app?

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2024-12-10, version 3.8.0*

didn’t save my pictures everyday made me upgrade to be able to see my pictures and now it won’t even load.

### 1/5 — It worked for a little but then wouldn’t let me upload videos anymore

*2024-06-23, version 3.7.3*

It worked for about three weeks before it wouldn’t let me do anything without buying the pro version. I can’t even get my photos back.

### 1/5 — Do yourself a favor and find another app

*2024-05-10, version 3.7.1*

Paid 34 dollars for a subscription. Once my slideshow was created the app would not let me share. The download would not pass 60% after multiple attempts. The contact us link on their app just keeps showing an error so I was not even able to contact for assistance. A waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2024-03-12, version 3.7.1*

There is no privacy policy in place when you click on the link. When you click for help, it says that the certificate is not safe and cannot be trusted when visiting their website the copyright hasn’t been updated since 2022. Even though the app is being updated, something doesn’t seem right legally. without a privacy policy in place (which is even referenced in the terms of agreement) I can’t trust where my data is going and what’s happening with my recordings. I feel this is unsafe to download. please publish your privacy policy so we could see the value of your product without fear

### 1/5 — crashes. won’t let me actually create video. crashes while loading

*2024-02-16, version 3.7.1*

disappointing

### 5/5 — You Guys Have Nailed It!

*2026-01-25, version 3.9.4*

As a long time user of another app similar to this, they lost focus on their app’s purpose. Meanwhile, this app has all the elements that are important - an uncluttered UI, but most importantly, the ability to quickly add a clip on the fly - I love the ability to open the app straight into the camera! A sunset, the family cat doing something fun, or just riding through a car wash, it’s those instantaneous moments/seconds that get recorded easily into the journal. 

Well done, keep up the good work, and don’t lose focus on what you do best - 1 second clips to a calendar.

### 5/5 — Long time satisfied user

*2025-01-01, version 3.8.0*

Just finished my 5th year with LeapSecond. Love it.

### 5/5 — Game Changer for Memories

*2024-12-28, version 3.8.0*

At the end of every year, I go through all my videos on Leap Second (warning, it takes a whole day if you wait until December like I do haha). Then I get one good summary video of my year and I love it! Great way to compile everything. The app is well-built and super user friendly.

### 5/5 — Developers helped with glitch

*2024-10-07, version 3.8.0*

In my previous review I mentioned a glitch. Since then the team got back with me and assisted in correcting the issue! Appreciate the assist so much! Thank you for your time!

### 5/5 — Yay! It’s working again!!

*2024-08-31, version 3.8.0*

I am THRILLED this is working again!! I had to switch to a new app when it stopped working but love this one so much better. Thank you so much for bringing it back! It’s my absolute favorite app and holds all cherished moments. Our favorite thing to do as a family is watch videos from vacations/trips/events and then watch a compilation at the end of each month and a big one on NYE! It’s one of our favorite traditions to bring in the new year. My kiddos will access my photos and rewatch the videos over and over. These videos are priceless and I’m so grateful to have a way to document!

### 5/5 — PERFECT

*2023-08-07, version 3.7.1*

this app is amazing it works so good, very heart felt moment when i made my leap second foe all of 2022!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-04-01, version 3.7.1*

I have used this app for years and love it - but I really miss the ability to use live photos in my collage!

### 5/5 — This app is awesome

*2023-03-23, version 3.7.1*

I love this app I’ve had it for around two years I highly recommend it. I see no flaws with the app or it’s functions. I only wish I had the commitment to remember to record every day.

### 5/5 — I’ve used for 3 years now, never lost a video. Perfect functionality without upselling.

*2023-01-06, version 3.6.1*

I love this app. The clips feel inconsequential when you upload them and then you watch them all together at the end of the year and it’s a tear jerker. Even if you miss a day or two a week it’s such a cool look at your year. Has really helped me capture moments in my life I’d otherwise lose.

### 5/5 — 10 months in and loving this app!

*2022-10-11, version 3.6.1*

I’ve been documenting 2022 with this app and it has been really great. There was some trouble with exporting videos for a while, but I contacted the developers and they gave some really useful steps that fixed the issue. Definitely recommend!
