What's New in On This Day Rewind

1.6

October 15, 2026

This update is mostly about screen sizes: the grid turns with your iPhone, and the app is ready for iPhone Duo. Videos from iCloud no longer freeze, and there is a new place to tell me what you would like next. Highlights - The grid turns to landscape on iPhone, with more photos in each row. - On This Day is ready for iPhone Duo. - New Feature Requests board: suggest ideas and vote on others. - Photo Size lets you choose how large photos appear in the grid. (Pro) Grid - The grid now rotates to landscape on iPhone. - Wider screens show more columns, so photos keep about the same size in landscape, on iPad and on Mac. - The Column Count setting is now called Photo Size, and it shows a live preview of the grid. (Pro) - Photos in the grid stay sharp after you rotate, resize the window or change the photo size. iPhone Duo - The grid and fullscreen adjust when you fold, unfold or rotate your iPhone Duo. - On the closed iPhone Duo, the buttons sit in the bar at the side of the screen, and a photo fills the whole screen when you hide them. Fullscreen - The buttons at the top have a new look, with the actions grouped together. - Photos and Live Photos load at the full size of the window on iPad, Mac and the open iPhone Duo. Videos - Videos stored in iCloud start quickly and no longer freeze while they play. They stream at a smaller size; videos on your iPhone still play in full quality. - A spinner shows while a video waits for more data, so a short pause no longer looks like a frozen picture. Feature Requests - Settings › Support & Feedback has a new Feature Requests board. Suggest an idea or vote on what others have asked for. New requests appear after I have read them. Fixes & polish - Swiping between photos in fullscreen is smoother, and a day with lots of photos fills in faster. - When you swipe into another year in landscape, the year now shows, the same as in portrait. - The date picker now fits on the screen in landscape. - Photos from this year no longer appear when Include Current Year is off and the time zone auto-fix is on. (Pro) - An older video can no longer replace the one you are watching. - The video loading spinner no longer disappears too early when you swipe quickly.

User reviews

This is the one you want

I was a big fan of Timehop years ago, before it was ruined by ads. I’ve tried a bunch since then but never settled on one. On This Day Rewind is by far the best and well worth paying for. Thank you FlohGro!

Response from developer

Thanks you so much 😊 glad that you have such a great experience 👍🏼

Daily throwbacks that help you declutter

I’ve been using On This Day Rewind to work through my 50k+ photo library one day at a time, and it’s actually made the process way more manageable. It pulls up memories from the same date each day, so I can clean things up while revisiting moments I forgot about.

The Home Screen widget is a great touch too. It gives me a quick daily throwback without even opening the app. You can also set a daily reminder notification if you want a nudge to stay consistent. Simple, useful, and easy to stick with.

Thanks for the great review. In one year your photo library will be fully cleaned up 🙌🏽

Great app, even better developer

This app is very thoughtful with what it does and how the pictures are presented; when I reported a bug, the developer was very responsive and fixed the issue very quickly; I paid for Pro immediately
