### 3/5 — Please add full back-up ability

*2025-08-02*

You're shutting down the app? Please add a way to download a full back-up for all photos, a single button (like Instagram). As a photographer, I have used this Pro app everyday for five years! It absolutely needs a one-button back up provision (especially the Pro edition)!

### 4/5 — I Like but…….

*2021-08-12, version 3.2.1*

I bought this app long long time ago. I haven’t used for a long period because of busy works. I use it again now, and found that it cannot add more than one photo each day. Disappointed 😞

### 4/5 — Captions

*2021-01-20*

I wish there was an option to add a caption of what I saw the day I took that particular photo.

### 3/5 — iCloud

*2020-07-07, version 3.2.0*

Great that this app now has the much needed backup to iCloud option. However, it’s not clear if photos and data are backed up automatically. It appears you have to manually select to save to iCloud and it only backs up the current month. So, if you have been using this app for several years, you would need to create a backup for each month and going forward, remember to continue to back up at the end of each month. 

Would help if developer could give some clarification and instructions.

### 4/5 — Einfach, aber einfach gut

*2020-07-05, version 3.2.0*

Wenn man bei dem Fotoprojekt „Jeden Tag ein Foto machen“ Unterstützung haben möchte, ist diese App (fast) perfekt:
- tägliche Erinnerung 
- Kamerafunktion
- Kalenderblatt mit allen Fotos
- Notiz zum Foto 
- sichern in iCloud (ganz aktuell)
Mehr brauche ich nicht.

Wichtiger Hinweis: die App beschneidet die Fotos quadratisch. Ich nutze es als zusätzliche Herausforderung, andere mag das stören.

### 3/5 — Loved it for 10 years

*2019-12-27, version 3.1.0*

Loved this app before there were many changes made. When I got a new phone 10 years of photos were lost.  App won’t save on back up and when you download app again you start new.  Think I have to find a new app for my photo of the day

### 3/5 — Good concept, developer unresponsive

*2019-02-04*

Been trying to contact the developer to purchase my old captions back from when the app used to backup into the cloud. Will pay $$, please respond to the emails sent. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Needs cloud update

*2017-03-09, version 3.0.3*

Please update app so I can transfer photos to my new phone. I have lost 6 years work of photos !

### 3/5 — Please add full back-up ability

*2017-01-14*

You're shutting down the app? Please add a way to download a full back-up for all photos, a single button (like Instagram). As a photographer, I have used this Pro app everyday for five years! It absolutely needs a one-button back up provision (especially the Pro edition)!

### 4/5 — Best!

*2016-11-15, version 3.0.0*

Using this app for years!

### 5/5 — One of my favourite apps!

*2016-07-15, version 2.4.8*

I have been using this app to document our family's life for over 3.5 years and love it. One of my favourite apps!

### 3/5 — Won't upload my photos

*2016-03-29, version 2.4.8*

I've been using this app since 2012 to document my daughters growth. I just noticed it stopped uploading the photos to my online account. I used to love this app but now I will need to manually upload the photos to my computer and store them that way and probably try a new app instead.

### 5/5 — Worth the $2

*2016-03-15, version 2.4.8*

Used this app for the first year of my daughter's life. Free app is only good for 1 year - paid app lets you go indefinitely. :)

### 3/5 — What's the product?

*2015-10-06, version 2.4.8*

I've been using this app daily for 4 years but I'm kind of disappointed in that you can only make a video for one month at a time. I would like to make a collective video of all 4 years but the app doesn't make that easy at all. Now I feel like I've been using it all this time for nothing.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2023-05-31, version 3.2.1*

Purchased this app, spent hours adding 365 photos to it, and you cant down load as a video! What’s the point of this app if videos can’t be created from your photos? 
I did finally manage to download a video by month (seems pointless when it’s a 365 day app) but then it cropped app my photos so I heads were cut off every photos! DO NOT BUY!

### 1/5 — Lost all photos.

*2019-12-25*

Hi, I recently upgraded to iPhone eleven and none of my past years photos have transferred with the app. Is there a way to retrieve previous year’s entries?

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service

*2018-06-22*

I used the not paid for app in 2014 for my son’s first year of birth. So when I had my daughter in 2016, I bought this paid app. I completed the 365 days and wanted to make a book. Alvin won’t email back or create the book to print off Lulu. I have been emailing him the past year to have it created and still no response. Horrible service and I can’t even print or get a book of my daughter’s first year. Very angry and frustrated. DO NOT pay for or use this app. Find something else so you can print it and look back at the memories!

### 1/5 — Never respond to customer queries

*2018-05-23*

I loved the app but with recent changes I have been unable to print my daughter’s photo book. Making my entire YEAR working on it POINTLESS. I have emailed numerous times asking for help/ customer service/ suggestions and have never received ANY response. I am happy to remove/amend my review if I get a reply.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2016-05-16, version 2.4.8*

I can't believe I have painstakingly kept up with this for an entire year and just learned, on the day I finally finished my 365th picture, that you can only combine one month at a time into a book or video. Unbelievable. Developer...this is Project 30 app, not Project 365!!! Please retitle it so it isn't misleading!

### 1/5 — App not working with iPhone 6?

*2016-03-22, version 2.4.8*

Won't load pics now- keep getting error message. Anyone else?

### 1/5 — Loved at first

*2015-02-03, version 2.4.6*

Loved this app at first but after some really bad added features everything has stopped working like it did originally. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2014-10-17, version 2.4.3*

The app was working fine until the 10/16 update. Now the app crashes when I attempt to launch it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't crop all pics

*2013-05-26, version 2.2*

This app has had a major bug from day one. It lets you select a square area of your landscape pics but what's the point as it does not crop it properly. Come on, PLEASE fix this!

### 1/5 — february 2013 bug

*2013-02-26, version 2.2*

why does february has 31 days!??? 
Pls fix... in 2013 is only 28 days!!

### 5/5 — “The Life & Times of Me”

*2026-01-18*

Thank you for this app, I’ve had it for several years and it’s not complicated just very user friendly and perfect for what I want. Daily diary through photos, what a wonderful idea. 😊
Love this app…

### 5/5 — 10 years straight

*2022-01-02, version 3.2.1*

Love the app and only missed a handful of days during the past 10 years!

### 5/5 — Face ID funktioniert nicht mehr

*2021-12-29, version 3.2.1*

Ich liebe diese App und nutze sie mittlerweile tatsächlich seit fast 5 Jahren täglich!
Als Zugangsbeschränkung lässt sich ein Zahlencode eingeben, stattdessen hat sich die App aber auch eine Zeit lang mit Face ID öffnen lassen. Dies funktioniert leider mittlerweile nicht mehr - es wäre schön, wenn dies behoben werden könnte!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-03-26, version 3.2.1*

I’ve been using Project 365 daily since April 2011. It’s so amazing to look back on 10 years of photos of my life like this! Highly recommend this app. Thank you so much to the developers!

### 5/5 — Print photos

*2020-05-20, version 3.1.0*

Love the app, and now gave 3 years worth of photos.
Any idea if I can print off or save as pdf fof each year?
Thanks

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2018-12-23, version 3.1.0*

i have been using this app to capture a photo of my daughter everyday since the day she was born, we are now quickly approaching our fifth year of using this app - but now i’m curious to know if there is a cap on how many years this app will store photos for?? if a developer or a fellow user can confirm - i would be super appreciative 😍
This app has helped capture some very special moments in time and has also shown the changes in my daughter from the day she was born. i love it, when people ask for recommendations of things they should do or get when they’re expecting a child, i also recommend this app! & the fact it has a feature to add a small note to each daily entry means it’s like a personal diary 💕 i can’t say enough times how much i’ve loves this app! thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Best app I have in my phone

*2018-05-18, version 3.0.3*

I was at work on Day and a friend told me about this app. I have been using it since July 2 2010. I took the first year and turned into a book. I gave a copy to all my family.

### 5/5 — Cloud update

*2017-09-01, version 3.0.3*

Hi please can you do the cloud update. I'm desperate for this as I've been doing it since the beginning 2010 and I need to change my phone but don't want to loose the effect of swiping through my photos of the years. 
Even if it is a update we pay for again I wouldn't mind at all. I know I can download them as zip and photobook but it's not the same as swiping through nearly 8 years of photos. I L💜ve this app 
Thank you

### 5/5 — Just do It!

*2017-02-03*

It takes a minute each night to document your day with a photo and short description/ but what a payoff after a year!!! I just did it for a year and had a photo book printed for my husband that I presented to him on New Year's Day . What a joy to remember and reflect on all the days! Alvin Yu, the developer of this app is so responsive and helpful- amazing customer service. He uploads your photos to lulu to print- but I also printed them myself on photo paper/ 3 days to a page. Good luck! Great app! REV. 2-3-17. I just received my Lulu book of each photo printed - it is fabulous!!!

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2017-01-02, version 3.0.2*

Appli très bien faite ! J'adore revoir mes photos de l'année dernière ou celle d'avant :) je recommande 😉
