Love this app

I use it every day to look back on photos on this day. I can delete photos I don’t want, to cut down on clutter as well.

Wonderful app

Every night at 9pm the app notifies me and I get to walk down memory lane. I also use it as an opportunity to prune my collection. As such I wish the delete button were bigger. Other than that I love this app.

This is awesome application!

I love this app. Simply awesome. It would be even better if it could scan files on a external hard disk - for people that have really lots of photos.
