Forgotten Photos

Love this app! Each morning I look at the pictures it helps me remember wonderful memories of days since past.

Let’s see

Great but, please add a button for erasing

Great app but…

I wish there was an option to delete the old photos you don’t want to keep. Like old screenshots of recipes from 4 years ago that I never made…still not going to. 🤣

Does not work at all.

I gave the app full access to all of my photos and it fails to find literally any photos. I’ve only had my iPad for about 3 or 4 years now and there is no excuse for it to not be finding photos. Do not install.

Perfect App

Works exactly as intended
