### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-30*

Great app, I downloaded it because I really liked the concept and it’s been perfect so far. Extremely user friendly and intuitive platform. Usually a pain to set up accounts on apps like this but it was super quick and easy to get started and connect with my friends. Looking forward to using it as this semester goes on, would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-01-30, version 1.1.1*

So I really love my social media apps, but this one is just 🧑‍🍳😘. Me and all my girls looove looking back at all the cute memories after a night out. It makes the morning after sooo much better. Absolutely love it and can’t stress this enough. ✨✨🤩

### 5/5 — This app brought me closer to my friends

*2025-01-30*

this app is an amazing way of sharing your life with those you care about. Me and friends have been using it and we have gotten closer together laughing over silly events in our every day lives. it’s a powerful app and i think it’s a must for building close and meaningful relationships.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-29*

This is one of the best apps that I’ve downloaded in recent years. I’ve always been passionate about journaling and have been looking for ways to make it easier and faster to record my memories.  I also the friend so I can add all of my friends and share my memories. 10/10 recommend

### 5/5 — WOW AMAZING

*2025-01-29, version 1.1.1*

This is simply a next level of instagram! A great new way to enjoy memories and share them with your friends and family. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!

### 5/5 — Different from traditional social media

*2025-01-29*

I feel like this app really pulls away from most other apps whose whole goal is to keep you locked in on their app by feeding you dopamine. This app is a lot of gratifying over time and allows you to look back at your past memories with a fond view, as well as give yourself insight into what you were thinking during certain moments of your life. Truly a satisfying experience and I would recommend this to anybody I know.

### 5/5 — Genius App

*2025-01-28*

First when I downloaded this app I thought it would be a useless app that I would end up deleting very soon but holyyy 🔥🔥🔥, Moments absolutely destroyed my expectations!!! I’m not one to usually write reviews, but this app surely deserved one. I really loved how user friendly it is, and how easy it is to connect with friends!!

100% reccomend 💯💯

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-01-28*

I just started using Moment, and I am more than impressed. The interface is really easy to use, and you can add all your contacts and share pictures. I know people say stay off your phone and enjoy the moment but I love capturing the fun stuff with this app. I used it all weekend and was able to capture a bunch of memories to look back at. Definitely recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Immaculate App

*2025-01-28, version 1.1.1*

This is app is a complete changer. Imagine be real with no time constraint or only post a day. Being able to keep up with friends on a day to day basis or share a little bit about what’s going on in your life in the moment. I can tell this app is going places!

### 5/5 — Little effort but such a difference

*2024-12-20, version 1.01*

Legit changed the way I look back at my life. Privacy is such a big thing for me so I really like being able to like add individual people. Can see this beating out IG maybe

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-11-03, version 1.01*

Finally! Never knew what I was missing out on until I downloaded. It makes saving your fondest memories fun and easy.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2025-06-05, version 1.2.7*

I like the concept but the app straight up doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — It’s nothing special

*2023-11-24, version 1.04*

I don’t like it very confusing layout just another one of those annoying try-to-be upcoming apps that has nothing that differentiates them from other apps

### 2/5 — Was great until it wasn’t

*2026-03-10, version 1.5.0*

The app started off fine but now months later it glitches and won’t let you upload anything for your memories

### 2/5 — Need help

*2024-02-11, version 1.05*

It says “an internal error has occurred print and inspect the error details for more information”

### 3/5 — Fake

*2026-03-18*

I only downloaded cuz I saw in a video it said that by the end of the year the app will make a mini movie of our year but it didn’t???

### 3/5 — I cannot sign up

*2026-01-06*

When i input my number, it says action not authorized and returns a 401 error

### 3/5 — Lots of growing!

*2023-10-23*

I know the app is still a baby app! But the concept and idea is fun! Just tiny recommendations that I think would be worth considering :) 
1. I think I would like the ability to see public news feeds of what my friends are posting instead of having to share it to each person. 
2. When uploading more than one picture/video to a moment, it would be cool to move around the pic/video in the order you want then having to go back and check and uncheck pictures to get the order you want.
3. When posting more than one photo/vid again, the option to delete a pic/vid while previewing instead of going back to uncheck it would be cool too! 
4. I would def like to see an option to see and discover what other people are posting since there’s not too many of my friends who know about it yet. So having a bigger pool of accounts to look at would be cool :)
5. If your old notifications can stay in the activity tab, instead of automatically deleting it! Would be cool to see how your account grows and integrates with other people! 

Again! I know it’s such a new app, but I am excited to see how it grows :)

### 4/5 — It great!

*2025-11-03, version 1.4.9*

Just downloaded the app, I’d like if the video feat was longer tho

### 4/5 — Really cute app

*2025-10-08, version 1.4.5*

It’s good but definitely can have some improvements, i recommend longer video time and the ability to add more photos and videos after a memory is made

### 4/5 — Loving it!

*2023-11-29, version 1.04*

The only issue I have is not having access to my contacts, but besides that, the app is so cute. Trying to get my friends with iOS on there. Hopefully the contact access isn’t an issue but it’s kinda frustrating not being able to use it

### 5/5 — Disabled account to use different Email account

*2026-03-14*

Hi! I absolutely love this app. I will always give this app 5 stars as it does everything it is supposed to. Today, I disabled (deleted) my account because I couldn’t change my email to a different email. The email that I was using is going to be lost on March 22, 2026 as I am unable to clean up the email in time. I tried my very bestest. Please Developers, please let us change (only 1 time) our email if need be in a case like this. Please and thank you. I love this app too much to not be able to not use it. I really want to create a brand new account with the 2026 email (Gmail) that I recently created and continue to use this amazing and beautiful app. Also, won’t let me use my brand new cellphone number (I already used it with old email that is going away) and won’t let me use it again. Please let me reuse my brand new number of 2026 and beyond (just 1 more time) with this 2026 email that I just created because of my old email. Please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Memories Forever

*2025-10-19, version 1.4.6*

I love this app! You can save memories forever. You get to also describe what you did and what stood out. You also get to share with your friends and family (if they have an iPhone) (Samsung Android coming soon). I love this app so much, I have a request: In Settings, please add Spanish (Latin America); French (France); Mandarin Chinese (Simplified); Japanese; Korean; German (Germany); Italian (Italy);  Finnish (Finland); Hebrew; Greek;  Spanish (Mexico); Arabic (Saudi Arabia); Arabic (Egypt); Cantonese (Traditional); Norwegian Bokmål; Danish; Dutch; Swedish; Bulgarian; Russian (Russia); Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Arabic and Hebrew is written from right to left. Please and thank you. P.S. This is for anyone in the United States and around the world who has an iPhone for them to remember and collect their Moments. Not just for me, but todos los pueblos (all people).

### 5/5 — Love this app but would love a few improvements

*2025-10-14*

This all has been great to store my memories, but a few things I would like would be to save a video over 30 seconds. Another thing is when I try to view a video full screen I can’t because the adding photos option is in the way. Overall I love the app and how it organizes what day your memory was.

### 5/5 — Moment Review

*2025-10-13, version 1.4.6*

I really love this app it’s super cute and easy to use. Now I can display all my fun memories with my friends and look back whenever I want! I recommend

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2025-10-05*

I’ve been using Moment for a while now, and it’s honestly been such a great resource for storing all my photos and videos. It’s super easy to use, everything is organized, and I never have to worry about losing anything. I love that it’s free and doesn’t try to charge me just to keep my own memories.

All my friends use Moment now too — we share albums, relive old trips, and it’s become our go-to place for everything. It’s crazy how smooth it runs compared to other apps that keep adding fees or limits. Moment really feels like it was made for people who just want a simple, reliable way to keep their memories safe. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Loveeee this app sm

*2025-09-22, version 1.4.4*

I actually adore this app. Such a cool idea and my friends and I love using it during a debrief ses

### 5/5 — Different (Way Better!) from Other Social Media

*2025-02-04*

I heard about moment through one of my friends. I downloaded the app and immediately loved it. I deleted a lot of social media off my phone since it was so distracting, but I’ve felt kind of left out. Moment gives me a way to connect with my friends (aka people who I actually care about) and record things that are impactful. I like how you can take a photo when you’re at the party itself, so you avoid superficial filtered and perfectly choreographed pictures. I definitely feel like I’ll look back in a couple of years and be happy I downloaded this app!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2025-02-04*

This app is truly something different. I have found myself bored with the mundane nature of instagram and snapchat. It is not simply about a shot of dopamine in the moment, but a prolonged release of memories that will last a lifetime. I find myself connecting with my own identity and past much better through Moment then any other app I could find. I highly recommend it to all users. Its user interface is clean and the app is bug free from what I have found. A great app overall.

### 5/5 — This App does social media differently

*2025-01-30*

In a world full of social media apps that are solely focused on showing off to the world, this app does it differently. The focus is on your friends, and on the memories you make with them. You aren’t just posting for all the world to see, your sharing moments with your closest friends, and appreciating their best moments in return. It’s all about connection and fostering friendship, and I’m so here for it.

### 5/5 — My friends loveeeee this app!

*2025-01-30, version 1.1.1*

I put all my friends on to this app like a month ago and now we use it basically every weekend! Some of my favorite memories have been captured on this app it’s so great!
