However, you need a phone number in order to make an account. It seems a little intrusive, to need to know somebody’s phone number for a journal app.. ### 5/5 — This app already seems super awesome *2023-07-24, version 1.8.1* My only question and main concern despite reading what you have already wrote - I have tried to look this up online and I wasn't able to find it though. Do you have to share publicly or can one keep their information & journals private? Who all would have access to anyone's specific data? Privacy concern is all I can think of... otherwise seems awesome for in general just sharing random moments of your life with possibly your family and maybe even your friends. Hope to hear back from you soon! Thank you in advance for the awesome app! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-07-24* Didn’t even get to try it out as the app does not work and there are no details to email the developer either. Therefore only 1 star given ### 5/5 — My digital journal ❤️ *2021-11-17, version 1.7.1* I love this app I use Reel You as a digital journal. I capture moments that are important to me: a phone call with one of my daughters or my mother, my ballet class or a hike with my husband. Since I have a Reel You account I am more conscious of the important moments in my life and I like that I can add a picture to my stories. ### 5/5 — Diary of my art and hobby projects *2021-09-12, version 1.6.0* I’ve long sought a good way to record details of my hobby projects. Reel You allows me to combine photos and recollections of the inspiration for the project and the step by step process of creating it. If I gift a piece of my work, now or in the future, I an share it with the recipient. ### 5/5 — Living more intentionally *2021-09-02, version 1.6.0* This app is making a much bigger difference in my world than I imagined it would when I first downloaded it. It’s giving me the chance to document my life in a more convenient, yet more personal way and even helping me find more joy in the little moments! I don’t typically download too many new apps, but this one’s turning out to be worth it. ### 5/5 — Amazing app to keep and share your experiences 💕 *2021-05-12, version 1.4.0* Love that I have control over who sees which moment. I don’t even need to share at all. The sharing model is more similar to messages/WhatsApp. I see Reel You as a place where I can share everyday with my closest friends and family and only share with people that were actually in the moment. It’s nice to get their input as well (photos, story, tags). That way it really feels collaborative. In Reel You I feel calm. I’m in there for myself and because I want to remember my life in a more private, easy way 💕 can’t wait to see how this app grows. Love that you added backgrounds in the latest release. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — The Social Non-Dilemma *2021-04-01, version 1.2.0* Reel You sets itself apart by allowing me to feel safe privately placing my thoughts and memories online and choosing what to share, or not. ### 5/5 — Family moments *2021-03-23, version 1.2.0* I love sharing moments with my family 🥰 ### 5/5 — A place to be the real you! *2021-03-23, version 1.2.0* Reel You is an app where you can be your real self without the anxiety and worry of social media. You can share experiences and moments with the people you actually know and love. ## Frequently asked questions about Reel You ### What is Reel You?
