I love how easy it is to watch memories we recorded for a reason and now get to relive. Amazing!! Feeling the family love from all these memories. ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2020-05-21, version 1.1* I LOVE it!! So easy to download and it gives you the gist of how it works up front. I am already ADDICTED!! I love having all the videos so easily accessible!! It’s like my own tiktok!! ❤️❤️❤️ And the icing on the cake...you can share the videos right from the app too!!! ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2020-05-20, version 1.1* I had forgotten about all these old videos! So fun to watch them in random order and reminisce with family and friends. I could keep watching for hours! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP! *2020-05-20, version 1.1* Before using this app my kids didn't really see many of the videos I took of them. I was always hesitant to let them go through my camera roll cause I was nervous they would accidentally delete things. They LOVE looking at these videos. It shows old and new ones, random ones that I didn't think they would even care about but that they love to see. It sparks conversations and we get to re-live memories. My kids and I both enjoy it so much. ### 5/5 — Instant nostalgia *2020-05-20, version 1.1* This app is a simple way to quickly take a trip down memory lane. Great for distracting kids and laughing about old videos we forgot. Thanks Chatbooks! ### 5/5 — Our kids love this *2020-05-20, version 1.1* Our kids will watch this for hours! They love seeing old videos of the family, and the randomness makes every next tap a fun surprise. ### 5/5 — Such a fun way to explore memories! *2020-05-20, version 1.1* The best things in life are free — and the same goes for this app! I’ve discovered so many old videos and memories that I had totally forgotten about. Definitely worth downloading! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not show video *2020-12-03, version 1.4* No video works on this app. It just shows a black screen with a date. ### 1/5 — Sorry Chatbooks, try again *2020-05-31* There are no controls in the app just random videos and a share button. No edit controls, nothing, nada, zilcho. You can't even make it stop unless you force-close the app. Good idea, extremely poor execution. ### 2/5 — Want to love, but ... *2020-06-01* I really wanted to love this app, and when it did work one time, I did! It pulled up videos I had completely forgotten about. However, it seems like it still has a lot of glitches ... now when I open it, I just get a black screen. Hoping the bugs can be fixed because I love the idea of this app! ### 2/5 — Not a fan *2020-05-31, version 1.4* I didn’t like that some of the videos it used was some I would have deleted in the loop. Maybe design a method to pick the videos you wish to use for publishing ### 4/5 — Love this app *2021-09-27, version 1.4* We watched for an hour while eating dinner! I can’t figure out if it can be airplayed to a tv. If not that would be a great addition. Seems like having it on the tv during Christmas morning would be perfect. ### 4/5 — Great idea *2020-06-01, version 1.4* It would be great if this could sync with Google Photos and other picture storage apps! ### 5/5 — Love this!! *2020-05-31, version 1.4* So much fun!!!!! ### 5/5 — Family Bonding Time *2020-05-31, version 1.4* Did this at night before the kids bed time and they loved it. Eventually we had to call it after an hour and the kids complained all the way to bed. They could have kept watching those videos all night. We had such a great time bonding over the memories. Such a great app idea. ### 5/5 — My new favorite App! *2020-05-28, version 1.2* My kids absolutely love this App and watching videos of themselves and loved ones they haven’t seen in so long! Awesome App, works perfectly. ### 5/5 — So fun! *2020-05-27, version 1.2* I had long forgotten about all the random videos in my phone! It was so fun to sit down with my kids and watch all the moments we have on video! They absolutely loved it and so did I! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m hooked!! *2020-05-27, version 1.2* This app is addicting but in all the best ways! I can’t believe how many videos that I have on my phone that I totally forgot about. So so much fun for the whole family. ### 5/5 — Instant Smile *2020-05-26, version 1.1* Such a fun app that brings you right back to your favorite cherished memories and makes going down memory lane such a treat. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-05-24, version 1.1* So much fun ### 5/5 — Can’t stop. Won’t stop. *2020-05-23, version 1.1* I just downloaded this app and spent the next hour walking straight down memory lane. These memories I captured when my babies were little, that I thought I’d never forget, I’ve forgotten, but thanks to reel time, I’m able to relive them yet again. Can’t wait to hook this up to the tv and show my boys in the morning! ### 5/5 — Looooove this app *2020-05-22, version 1.1* So easy to use and SO fun to relive old memories that I almost forgot about. It’s like a movie journal - love it! ### 5/5 — That was the BEST trip down memory lane *2020-05-21, version 1.1* I always scroll through my most recent pics but there are so many video memories I forgot about. Thank you for bringing them back to me in an easy to use app!!! LOVE IT!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
