### 1/5 — Used to be available for Android

*2026-03-14, version 3.9.0*

This app used to be available to android users and not it is not. Very disappointing as some people don’t have IPhones.

### 3/5 — Fails at the major thing

*2025-12-24, version 3.9.0*

It is a good app
But every x period you have to uninstall reinstall to reset it as it simply will just buffer for ages and never open pictures . So frustrating

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work anymore!

*2025-03-12, version 3.9.0*

I’ve been using this App since 2016, and it had improved a lot BUT the last year or so I haven’t been able to view 90% of my photos - they’ve just stopped loading… I’ve reached out but not heard anything back. Is this App still supported?

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!

*2024-08-21, version 3.9.0*

This app is amazing for sharing photos with family and friends as well as keeping track of milestones. We loved that others can share photos as well. 10/10 recommend
The company is also very easy to work with and addressed concerns. For a free app you can’t ask for better!

### 4/5 — I love it!

*2023-05-12, version 3.8.4*

I’ve been looking for an app to share pics and videos with family without having to have actual social media. With this app I can chose who sees pics of my kiddos and I’m able to message them directly on the as well (like a DM). I do wish it was a bit more like Instagram or Facebook where you can @ someone to reply to their comment or where you could tap on a pic and see who’s tagged. There’s also no widget option available and I think that would be an amazing feature to add! But seriously for a free app this helps me organize my pics and videos and it’s so nice to be able to have all the pics in one spot.

### 5/5 — The perfect app for sharing all those special moments!

*2022-09-13, version 3.5.11*

Highly recommend this app for all Parents! 

I’ve been using Momatu for a few months now.. and gee do I wish I had it when I had my first child 3 years ago. It is such a fabulous and beautiful way to keep your family's special memories together, in one intuitive and functional platform. 

The app is ever-changing and always improving. My Husband even contributes to our family photo stream- this alone is mindblowing 🤯😂

### 5/5 — 💕 Love how easy is to share my kids moments with parents overseas

*2022-06-09, version 3.5.3*

This is a great app for creating my family life story and bringing my mom and dad closer to their grandchildren. They also love this app as it’s super easy to use even considering they are non English speakers. Thank you Momatu 🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-03-01, version 3.4.0*

Very easy to use and my whole family love it

### 2/5 — Good idea but not quite there

*2021-12-07, version 3.2.0*

I love the idea of this app, but the last update didn’t really work for me, preferred how it was before when you could comment on a picture.
Also will not upload videos anymore and really struggles to upload my pictures now too. Gets frustrating

### 1/5 — Not the app it used to be…

*2021-10-01, version 3.0.1*

I never write reviews for an app, however, the fall from grace for this app is nothing short of sensational. It is such a disappointment to see how a useful, well-designed and purposeful app has turned into something completely different. Where once it used to be a digital scrapbook for childhood memories (and therefore provided something unique), it now competes with other common social media platforms such as Viber, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. The current version is not a brainwave but rather, regrettably, a brain explosion.
