### 4/5 — Love the App but have questions

*2025-03-15, version 3.2.1*

I LOVE this app- it’s basically a very easy way to have a photo journal. I do have some questions though and don’t know how to contact the developer. Does anyone know how to sync 365 on the phone and iPad? I’d love to have it on both without having to manually add it to two different devices. Also, has anyone ever done a photo book from the app? It doesn’t seem like there is an easy way to do this. I would definitely pay for the app if those two issues were addressed.

### 4/5 — So

*2024-06-28, version 3.2.1*

Absolutely obsessed with this app, I’ve done it since about 2017ish but I’ve had two new phones since then and everytime I’ve had to restart my progress. I wish there was a way you could transfer accounts though phones as I’ve just got my new phone and I’ve lost the last 4 years since my last upgrade

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2022-01-25, version 3.2.1*

I wish I could save a video of all of the photos I have uploaded not just each month individually. That would be my only criticism. Other than that it’s a great app

### 4/5 — Love it but...

*2020-06-27, version 3.1.0*

I’ve had this app since 2017!! Although, I do wish there was a log in system so when you do have new devices you can simply continue the project rather than starting a new one.

### 3/5 — The best alternative to Everyday (sort of)

*2020-02-18, version 3.1.0*

This app is the best alternative I’ve found to the Everyday app I used ever day. Unfortunately it appears as though the developer has abandoned this one too. 

I spent eight years using the Everyday app and now that I’ve started using Project365 as my replacement app, it seems that development has stopped.

I noticed that this app hasn’t been updated in a year, so my question to the developer is: Has this app actually been abandoned? Does anyone else know?

### 3/5 — New phone

*2019-08-27, version 3.1.0*

I have recently changed to a new phone and i wish to transfer all the memories from this app from my old phone to my new phone. Is it possible cause i do not wish to lose all photos that i’ve already taken over the past years?

### 3/5 — Retains deleted versions

*2019-05-21, version 3.1.0*

I often edit my photos and want to replace the original post. Which I’m able to do. The problem is that the older version still shows up in the Slideshow mode, the mode without the notes; with the black background. Please fix.

### 3/5 — ok

*2019-01-14, version 3.1.0*

I really enjoy this app but it won’t let me upload screenshots.. disappointing.

### 4/5 — Great concept, but could be more practical

*2019-01-06, version 3.1.0*

I love this app as a way to document the year and make the little moments memorable. It’s fun to look back and see all of the things I’ve done throughout the year. However, I wish there was the option to upload screenshots. I don’t think to take a lot of pictures since I like to live in the moment, so I take a lot of screenshots of pictures sent by my friends. Allowing screenshots would make it much easier for me to add pictures, but otherwise this app is a great concept!

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2018-12-31, version 3.1.0*

Simple yet effective, I’m going to use it everyday for 2019, however my only concern is that you can only put one photo per day.

### 4/5 — Love the idea but could be better

*2018-12-09, version 3.1.0*

I really love the concept of this app, but I wish it would let me add screenshot pictures. Anytime I try and post a screenshot that I have taken for a day, it just doesn’t show up. Also, I wish you could set multiple reminders per day when you haven’t added a photo yet.

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2018-05-23, version 3.0.1*

I love this app and have used every day for 2 years now. 

App really needs updating though, which is why marked low. Having to manually backup my photos as the backup to a zip file misses out months and days. 

Please update, as love this app. 😔

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2017-11-20, version 3.0.1*

It no longer allow me to upload screenshots. Please fix this. Thanks.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to Sync or backup years of photos.

*2025-08-02, version 3.2.1*

Alvin's Project 365 App is great, but there's no way to back up years of collected photos once added to app (since it's inception), no way to sync across tablet to iphone, and anytime you upgrade your iPhone to a newer model you lose every photo added. He talked about allowing backup to iCloud, but that never came to fruition. Such a shame, the app is perfect in every other way. Unfortunately, there is no way to contact Alvin.

### 1/5 — Can’t make year video

*2024-12-20, version 3.2.1*

I downloaded this app to take a picture of my house every day for a year. I wanted to see a video of the seasons changing. Turns out I can only make a video for the month, all the pictures in my project. It shouldn’t advertise it can do this if it can’t.

### 1/5 — The app won’t open

*2020-04-26, version 3.1.0*

I’ve had the app since the beginning of september 2019 and recently it won’t let me open the app. I’ve looked at other reviews saying they’ve also encountered this problem. I guess I have to find another calendar app.

### 1/5 — Use this app, if you don’t mind losing your photos in the future

*2019-12-10, version 3.1.0*

When updating my iPhone I lost all
My photos despite backing up in iCloud and the website wouldn’t accept my old password. No replies from Alvin on writing about the problems with the app.

### 1/5 — it’s a lot of ads...

*2019-11-13, version 3.1.0*

it cannot cancel the ads

### 1/5 — Please update

*2019-02-23*

I wish that this app backed up. I had to delete everything from my phone and restart it. Unfortunately this doesn’t back up to iCloud and I had 8 months worth of photos added to the app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-09-10, version 3.0.1*

Used this for nearly a year and it deleted all my pictures. Way to go.

### 1/5 — Hard to Backup

*2017-08-27, version 3.0.1*

I loved this app but when my phone got damaged and I couldn't recover anything from it I lost all my pictures, half a years worth.  I didn't want to save them to my camera roll and I never backed up to drop box because I didn't even think about it.  Other apps have this automatically built in.  It was an easy to use and I liked the layout but having to remember to do all the back ups yourself in a world where we are used to our devices doing this for us made it useless to me when I lost half a years work.  Yes it was my fault but there are much better apps that have these features out there.

### 1/5 — SHOCK

*2017-03-16, version 3.0.0*

アップデートしたら、これまでの写真が全て消えた、、！ショック

### 1/5 — it deleted everything

*2017-03-16, version 3.0.0*

i have been using this app for 3 months now and each day i would use a picture and write a little description of what i did in the day, etc. today the app updated and all my descriptions were gone and the first 7 pics/days for the month of january were gone also. so bummed this happened seeing as how i put effort into this project in order to look back on it later and now all my descriptions are just gone along with the first 7 days/pics in january

*2025-05-13, version 3.2.1*

La amo!!!! La utilizo para revisar mis outfits del mes. Y así no ponerme siempre lo mismo!!! Me encanta!!!

### 5/5 — Best way to track Ure days

*2021-02-09, version 3.2.1*

I really like this app. I downloaded and paid for it quite a number of years ago and seldom used it before but really, it’s a wonderful way to track memories over time. Really amazing if u ask me

### 5/5 — Decent

*2020-12-06, version 3.2.1*

I have been using this app since around 2013  and it’s amazing. All my 7yeara photos of the day is still there and it works well. You should maybe try and advertise this more though to get more people to use this as not a lot of people use this app

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-03-27, version 3.1.0*

I do like this app but I keep forgetting to do it, this is the Coronavirus time and needs to be recorded in an app like this . Thank you

### 5/5 — Good app so good

*2019-11-30, version 3.1.0*

I like apps and this is one of my favorite. I can put pictures of my family and friends on the calendar which lets me know when i shoould see them. Wow u finally remmeber nirthdays of ppl like my kids and that man that lives next to my summer vacation home. ㅂㅎ어ㅏ루ㅑ냐져ㅕㅕ어뎌!

### 5/5 — Beste App dieser Art

*2019-03-20, version 3.1.0*

Tolle App, ich benutze sie Schon seit vielen Jahren, und es ist immer wieder schön, wenn man mal nachschauen kann, was man so vor drei Jahren gemacht hat.

Es gibt ebenfalls die Funktion eine Monatsübersicht in guter Qualität auszudrucken.

Ich habe damals sehr viele ähnliche Apps getestet, aber keine war so gut. Entweder man konnte nichts ausdrucken oder die Zahlen des Tages waren zu groß und über das komplette Foto gelegt. Das ist hier wirklich schön gelöst.

Sie ist schon so lange ein treuer Begleiter, dass ich schon Panik habe, wenn diese App irgendwann mal nicht mehr unterstützt wird Und die Daten verloren sind.

### 5/5 — Adoro!

*2018-10-02, version 3.0.1*

Uso desde 25/02/12, uma foto por dia!

### 5/5 — 更改

*2018-09-20, version 3.0.1*

希望抬頭的名稱可以更改！
不然要重新建立一個照片重放有點麻煩！謝謝
大致上都很好用很方便

### 5/5 — クール！

*2018-08-19, version 3.0.1*

ありそうで無かった良アプリ！

でもこの写真ってどこに保存されてるんだろ…

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-04-18, version 3.0.1*

Really fun to take one photo a day to get in the habit. Easy.
