### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2022-11-29, version 1.4.4*

This app is the best. And they keep improving it all the time ! Thanks MW for making my life easier 😊

### 5/5 — not the greatest

*2022-06-22, version 1.3.50*

not satisfied at

### 4/5 — Good but young app that needs some tweaking

*2021-01-04, version 1.3.41*

The app for the most part works well, it is a fairly new one that could use some tweaking.    

For example the sync option for Facebook is stuck on the last 26 photos and every time I stop the sync it starts again.   I have also seen several photos that have been uploaded several times creating duplicates but this is easily remedied by deleting the duplicates.

I love the ability to perform some minor editing of the photos, I also love the ability to easily add/change metadata of the photos.

I haven’t yet tried to share photos with anyone that doesn’t have a subscription but I will be doing this soon.

I look forward to using this all year and look forward to the expected fixes soon.

### 5/5 — What I have been looking for

*2020-06-28, version 1.3.36*

Great application, really like their customer support.  There are some things that I hope they add which will make it even better.  Still early days with lots to do

### 5/5 — Excellent Support

*2020-02-27, version 1.3.34*

I am really tickled with this app.

* It automatically trims out the tens of thousands of duplicates that I have sprinkled around.

* IT PRESERVES METADATA!!!!!

* Technical support is wonderful. (I talked with them in person.)

### 4/5 — I struck gold!

*2019-04-30, version 1.3.27*

I’m an experienced professional organizer who is sitting on a room full of inherited family photos and documents. When I discovered Memory Web at Roots Tech I knew it was a solution to my organizing nightmare. It’s given me hope that I can preserve, enjoy and best of all share these golden nuggets with my family near and far for a reasonable cost.

### 5/5 — Genealogical JACKPOT!

*2018-02-02, version 1.3.14*

MemoryWeb is perfect for the modern genealogist. It allows you to have one repository (MemoryWeb) that syncs with multiple common image repositories (your phone, your computer, Facebook, Instagram, DropBox, Google Drive, Flickr, etc...). Having all these images in MemoryWeb allows you to have ONE common place where you can tag individuals, locations, captions... etc... ONE... not 3 or 5 or 10... ONE

Coupled with the centralization perk, MemoryWeb allows each person to have some basic “genealogy” centric attributes. You have the ability to indicate the parents of said person and the ability to indicate a maiden name for females. Defining the parents will then indicate the reciprocal relationship when viewing the children and vice versa. It’s a great way to “drill down” and see images for a particular person based on an ancestral relationship.

In addition, MemoryWeb allows you to “share” an individual person with others. It produces a publicly accessible URL. I plan on taking advantage if this functionality in conjunction with RootsMagic via “web tags” for each person in my RootsMagic database. This will allow me to use MemoryWeb as my ONLY image repository (aside from a few “key” photographs that I want to be displayed within the context of RootsMagic). +10 for automating a big part if my genealogical workflow!

EVEN MORE for the modern genealogist!! If you want to have a copy of all your MemoryWeb images... You can download them AND MemoryWeb will embed all of the information you have defined into the exif image metadata for each image!!! This means that all the people, location information, and date tagging you did will be preserved in each file. Giving it full contextual relevance for future generations!! 

I am looking forward to all the future genealogy-centric enhancements in MemoryWeb. If you’re a genealogist, you NEED this app.

### 5/5 — MemoryWeb User

*2017-03-25, version 1.3.4*

Amazing app, love the tagging, automatic facial recognition and album sharing capabilities. Not just another photo cloud, but a secure location to store pictures, memories, family archives and recipes...forever.

### 5/5 — Finally!!!

*2016-11-24, version 1.3.0*

So many photos spread everywhere..... now I have an app that keeps all together. I have been constantly going "I know I have a picture of that, but where is it?!"  No more issues!  I can easily find them. And - get them off my devices, and backed up. Thank you, MemoryWeb!!!

### 5/5 — Great app, love the tagging

*2016-09-28, version 1.2.2*

The tagging feature is the best. The tags stay with the photos even when I bring them into the Photos app on my iMac and text them to my friends.
