My Favorite

So so so happy you are back!! Thank you!!

Oh no, it's been ruined!

I've been using this app for many many years. One of the best apps on my entire device. Was excited to see that it's back, but unfortunately the new version is completely ruined. The previous version from years ago was absolutely perfect. I'm not sure why anything had to change. But unfortunately, I will no longer be using this app and am quite sad for myself and the other users as well as sorry to have to leave such a horrible review.

How can I share a single month?

I’ve used Collect for many years and have always saved the completed month to my camera roll. Now that the app has finally had updates I can no longer find a way to share the completed month of photos -only see that I can share one photo! Please add the share feature back for single months! My collection of monthly photos for scrapbooking will be incomplete without this feature!

Hooray You’re Back

I am so excited you are back and opening a new and better picture journaling app. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been trying to use the app for a long time. To my surprise I could longer login. I began journaling with you since 2012. Many friends of mine are thrilled also. I texted them earlier this week that you were back. Everyone is thrilled. I have a lot of catching up to do. Again, thank you for caring. Mary Ann

THE APP IS BACK!!!!

i’ve been using this app since 2015 and for a while I wasn’t able to open the app at all and was heartbroken so I’ve lost a decades worth of memories and captions! I am so glad that this app is back and all of my information has still been stored!!!!!

please don’t scare us again! Losing a star because I was really upset of the previous disappearance.
