New update is awful

Once again, my daily notifications have stopped. My settings are correct. Been since the latest update.

Moreover, I hate the update. The app was great. It did not need “fixing,” and the new format is awful.

It wasn’t broken. Why did you fix it and make it worse???????

Response from developer

Sorry about that. Reminders: switch notifications off, close the app fully, reopen, then turn them back on. Old layout: open Display in the menu and pick Simple view. Still stuck? support@pymapp.com and we'll help.

Best app, best service

I use the app for 13 years now, and love it. Have everything ducumented.:)

Also a huge plus! Customer service! They are so so nice and helpful. Reply really quick.

Visual Diary

I love this app and use it daily since 2020. 6 beautifully printed books by now (A4). It’s my visual diary, so at any time I can look up when I was where

Fijne app

Een hele fijne app die dagelijks mooie momenten vastlegt. Ook bij problemen werd ik vlot geholpen!

Fantastische app

Een geweldige app om een jaarboek te maken met ‘alledaagse’ foto’s/herinneringen die anders verloren gaan. Ik heb al 4 jaarboeken en kijk al uit naar het 5de! Ook een snelle en efficiënte service als er een probleem is of als je een vraag of suggestie hebt. Ik zou niet meer zonder kunnen!

Memorabel

Reeds meer dan 10 jaar maak ik gebruik van de app. Super leuke manier om je herinneringen in een dagboek te zien. Ieder jaar opnieuw!
Onlangs problemen gehad met aanloggen en ik vreesde alles kwijt te zijn maar de helpdesk heeft alles gefikst zodat ik verder foto’s en herinneringen kan verzamelen. Top service!!

Awesome

Absolutely LOVE the latest update!!!!!

Service

Hielpen heel vlot wanneer ik problemen ondervond met mijn account. Uitstekende service!

Assistentie

Ik had een technisch probleem bij het installeren van de app. Maar ik werd snel en vriendelijk geholpen.

Pay to backup?

Been a reliable app over the years (I’ve been using since 2014). Hoping to order the books which is an amazing feature. But now charging to save to my own iCloud? Not a nice move…. The editing and other features make sense for a paid version. BeReel and others may seem like more meaningful competitors now.

Response from developer

Thank you for being a loyal user since 2014—we truly appreciate your support! We're excited that you're interested in ordering books and hope you’ll love that feature. Regarding iCloud backups, you can still save your backups to your own cloud, and PYM remains fully usable without a subscription. The additional features, including editing tools, are designed to enhance the experience for those who choose them. We always value feedback and are continuously working to make PYM even better.

Amazing App

This is such an amazing app for keeping a photo diary. The notifications always seem to come at the perfect time, like a little reminder to stop for 5 seconds and capture the moment. The whole process, from snapping a photo to uploading it, feels so smooth and easy. Plus, the app itself is beautiful…clean, simple, and super easy to use. It’s honestly become part of my daily routine, and I love how it helps me hold onto those little everyday moments. Highly recommend it!

Superleuke app!

Je maakt elke dag een foto van je moment. Sinds kort kan je zelfs gratis een tweede foto toevoegen. Het allerleukste is het jaarlijkse fotoboek. Zo heb je een mooi overzicht van je jaar in foto’s. Heerlijk!

Trip down memory lane

I’ve been using the app since 2013, which is over 10 years now. I don’t take a photo every day, but whenever I can I will. At the end of each year I make sure to order the printed photo book and love having over 10 books in a similar style that show photos and memories I usually wouldn’t have printed.

It’s my favorite app of all time.

Awesome again

Took a while, but the glitches are fixed and this app is awesome again. Love love love it!!!!

Effortless Memory Capture

Absolutely love PYM! It's super easy to use with amazing features, making it the perfect way to turn my daily snaps into beautiful photo books and capture every special moment seamlessly!

A Must-Have App for daily snapshots!!

I’ve been using this app for a while now, and I must say I’ve never felt better about taking pictures every day. The notifications are perfectly timed to capture the moment just right. I snap the photo and can then fully enjoy the experience without any interruptions. Keep up the great work!

Hard to download pics

No good way to download photos. You have to go one by one. This is their way of pushing you to… buy a photo book? Which is not an alternative to downloading images. Odd choice to make this intentionally difficult.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for this feedback. In the PYM settings you can select the option to ’save photo to camera roll’. All your new PYMphotos will then be saved, so not retroactively. Since there is no option yet to download all your earlier PYMs in one batch (only one by one), it would be a better and simple idea to make it an opt-out instead of an opt-in. We’ll put that on our list for improvements for one of the next releases. Best, PYM

I am done. Too glitchy.

What for seems the tenth time, this app has stopped sending me notifications. I write to them and get the same canned response many reviewers have gotten - are you in low power mode? NO! Have you cleared your cache? YES. Do you have too many apps open? NO. Here’s the thing. I have MANY other apps that send me notifications - without fail. This one fails constantly, more and more lately. I am on vacation. I missed two weeks of notifications until I realized I was not getting them. I want a refund. This app is not doing what it is supposed to do. I should not have to remember myself to take a random photo. That is what my camera is for. This app is supposed to remind to randomly take a photo. If I have to do the remembering, this app is pointless.

And now, it takes the photo and freezes. I cannot save the photos. If I close the app, it opens and takes the photo again and freezes again. Over and over. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same thing AND I cannot log in so I have lost all my photos.

DONE. DONE. DONE. Deleted the app. Letting my subscription expire. Too bad. Great idea. Poorly executed. Tired of the canned responses.

Meanwhile we've had mailcontact to solve this problem you’re experiencing. It could be caused by Low Power mode. Low power mode could interfere with notifications. You can check this in your regular iPhone settings -> Battery-> top of the screen. Restarting your smartphone (no reset!) is also something you could try. Doing that you empty your cache memory which often is loaded with useless temporary files you create while using the different apps on your phone. Cleaning this cache memory once or twice a month improves the performance of your phone and increases the batterylife. If this is not the case you can do a fresh install from the appstore and reconnect with your PYMlogin to reload all your PYMphotos. We’re receiving uploads again so it seems these suggestions helped to fix it. Pls let us know which solution did the trick by sending us a supportmail from within the app (Menu->’Feedback and support’). Till later PYM support

Großartig!

Ich liebe die App und sie begleitet mich seit 6 Jahren. Definitiv 5 Sterne. Was super wäre, wenn man Bilder aus der normalen Kamera roll ausnahmsweise (bspw bei Reisen) in den normalen PYM Feed einfügen könnte. Dann bräuchte man gar kein zusätzliches Reise Album mehr. Vielen Dank!

No reminders - AGAIN. Time for a refund

FIX IT OR REFUND MY MONEY. It is that simple.
