Great App!

Love using this once a day, very unique concept.

Love it

Love the simplicity of capturing random images of life and the serendipitously seeing a stranger’s reel

Minutiae Photo Journal

Love this project! Stumbled across it on insta one day, and thought, why not? It’s fun to take a pic of where you are in the world at a random time, but even more fun to see a tiny glimpse each day of what someone else, somewhere in the world is doing. Cant wait to order my book of my pics at the end. What a cool social experiment though. Highly recommend. 10/10 ☺️✨

Great idea, but app frustrating!

Love this idea & I’m looking forward to completing. However I find the app really frustrating. I would say it works smoothly only half the time. Sometimes you can’t take your photo, because it prioritises it’s self promotion, which is dumb for a timed feature. Often you are not matched with someone else. Sometimes the photo you have taken just isn’t recorded. Very slow & clunky in general. Needs a lot more work before I would consider paying for it. A feature that allowed you to look back at previous minutes would be good too.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. The screen you mention only appears once the minute has already passed, and every captured photo is always uploaded, while the slow matching and uploads caused by high server load were fixed in last week's update, so we'd recommend installing the latest version. Previous moments can be viewed by browsing the timeline for one minute after capturing your daily moment.

Minutiae… the stuff of life

I love this app. And getting my book at the end of the year was a strange and gratifying moment. We measure our lives by the big moments - but really, it’s all the bits in between. The stuff we do everyday - which is so similar to what everyone else is doing, everyday. Seeing other people’s small moments is grounding. We all live so far apart… but we’re all doing very similar things at the same time. ♥️
