This is simple and does one simple thing, show your pictures from this day in history. Nothing else to say excellent and simple. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-10-20, version 4.0.2* Love the simplicity and ease of seeing photos from years ago on this day. Also makes deleting old photos (and doubles when I took 10 to get a good one or stupid screenshots) less overwhelming since it’s just a few. LOVE being able to delete from within the app. I can’t think of anything I’d like to be added (and I usually can for apps). Maybe a link to the AppStore for review (but no annoying reminders). Thanks for a great app. ### 5/5 — An everyday app *2019-09-28, version 4.0.2* This is one of the apps that I open everyday. Simplistic design and snappy performance make it the best among its kind. Job well done! ### 5/5 — Great for photos ... *2019-03-11, version 4.0.2* Needs video support! ### 3/5 — Doesn’t show videos! *2018-10-24, version 4.0.1* I love this for photos; having videos as well would be fab. ### 5/5 — My fav app *2018-06-10, version 3.4.1* Love this app. It gives me little foto reminders everyday of fun moments from past years. ### 4/5 — Pretty cool app, needs full screen viewing *2018-05-13, version 3.4.1* First off love the app. This should be in the stock photos app in memories. No clue why it isn’t. You emulate the photos app pretty nicely but I find myself tapping on the image to show it full screen with black borders, like how the photos app does, but of course it doesn’t work. Would love to see that feature added in. It’s a great free app. Love it. Also as I use it more I find it crashing when swiping through photos and they are in iCloud Photo Library but not downloaded to the phone. Seems when you swipe though and they consecutively download it makes the app crash. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2018-04-19, version 3.4.0* This is the best app which shows the memory ### 5/5 — Perfectly simple = simply perfect! *2017-11-08, version 3.2.1* This app is totally ideal. Exactly what I was looking for. Please don’t ever make it more complicated. I love looking back at my photos this way! ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-10-27, version 3.2.1* Wish there was a way to change the size of photo thumbnails. ### 5/5 — Beautifully simple *2017-10-22, version 3.2.1* I love this little app - it does what it sets out to do neatly and with no fuss - thank you! ### 5/5 — A great way to remember the past *2017-09-17, version 3.0.0* I signed up for Picturelife in order to have an extra online copy of my photos and was pleasantly surprised to discover its "Memories" feature. I've re-discovered forgotten photos! This app does a great job of reproducing this feature, but uses your iCloud photos (I think) instead of its own cloud copy, like Picturelife does. Wish list: - in app edits save/update iCloud Photo Library--such as "heart"-ing a photo; or rotating; etc. - flick left or right on full size photo to browse A great start! Hope to see more tight integration with the iCloud photo library. ### 5/5 — Good APP *2017-08-24, version 2.8.1* Good one, I liked this APP.. ### 4/5 — I like it. It works and is helpful. *2017-08-15, version 2.8.1* My only issue is what happens after you delete a photo through the app. The rest of the photos become misaligned and duplicated temporarily which could lead you to deleting a good set of photos. ### 5/5 — Works great *2017-06-07, version 2.8.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Unlock Photo Memories *2017-05-02, version 2.7* I love checking this app each day to see old photos from the past. Nothing like a bit of nostalgia. The developer even added 'years since photo taken' ### 5/5 — A great app *2016-11-12, version 2.2* A great app for watching your children grow! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Photos no longer show up *2020-05-11, version 5.1* Not sure what is wrong ### 1/5 — The notifications are completely random *2019-10-16, version 4.0.2* I have photos nearly everyday, yet I’ll probably get two notifications per month. Oh, and it reads the date of the photos wrong! You are never going to fix this, are you? ### 1/5 — Still needs work *2017-10-01, version 3.1.1* It’s a good idea, but still needs quite a bit of work, the layout is not very good, not very user friendly and has quite limited features. ### 1/5 — One star for the concept *2016-07-25, version 2.2* No stars because it's not free. You have to "tip" them in order to unlock the photos. ### 1/5 — No images on iPad Pro, even after reinstall *2016-07-06, version 2.2* I'm not getting any images on my iPad Pro 12", even though it worked before. Something in the update must have broken things? ### 1/5 — Free, Not free? *2016-06-11, version 2.2* Not free. Crook. The app is NOT free. Don't call it a tip, call it an in-app purchase, who are you kidding DK APPS with one app. ### 1/5 — Not FREE, tip required *2016-05-09, version 2.0.1* I wanted to try it out, but can't even see more than a few pics without "tipping" the devs. I understand they need to make money, but don't like the deceptive tactics to get people to download. ### 1/5 — You need to pay the "tip" to see your photos *2016-05-02, version 2.0.1* So I check photos from today and they are blurred. If I want to have full functionality I need to pay. How about I actually get an idea of how it works before asking for my money or... Just make it a paid application. ### 1/5 — Payment Required *2016-04-25, version 2.0.1* The description says nothing about a tip payment being required in order to see more than a few pictures for a day. ### 1/5 — Tip jar? C'mon ...!! :( *2016-04-24, version 2.0.1* A paid app at 0.99c and since I could get it for free through a 'paid apps for free today only' app, I thought why not try it out. As soon as I searched a date I got a pay me pop up and realized it will only let me view 3 or 4 pics from any particular date. Fraud! Reported .. and now deleted! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-21, version 6.0.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Last update a day ago *2026-08-20, version 6.0* Black screen and the app does not open anymore ! I use this app daily, please fix ! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-13, version 5.1* I love Flashback and wish it was available for iPads too! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2023-10-01, version 5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — This is awesome application! *2021-12-10, version 5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2020-10-06, version 5.1* What a great app! Thank you so much for making it available!! 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-05-28, version 5.1* What a wonderful idea to include the option to delete photos within the app! I’ve always been overwhelmed by the task of clearing out my photo album, but this makes it so easy since it’s just one day at a time. Obviously this app isn’t marketed as that, but that makes it unique as one of these flashback apps! I also love the clean interface. I’m looking forward to new features! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!! But wish it did video too. *2020-04-27, version 5.1* Love this app. Use it everyday. Wish it included video. Anyone know if there’s a video version? Man, still, this and YT are probably my most used apps! ### 5/5 — Simple and perfect! *2020-03-31, version 5.1* As mobile devices have got more storage, it's easier to keep more of your favourite photos on them. But how often do you look at them? This neat little app takes you down memory lane by showing you all the photos you took on this day in previous years. It's simple, fast, and free! And the new dark mode update is excellent. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best Memory Photo App *2020-03-21, version 5.0* This is the best memory app so far and its free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
