### 1/5 — App lässt sich nicht mehr öffnen

*2026-02-22*

Hallo, ich habe iPhone 17 pro. Jedes Mal wenn ich das App aufmachen möchte, springt es automatisch wieder raus. An meine Fotos komme ich nicht mehr rein. Hatte nie das Problem bisher. Hab auch das App abonniert. Bitte hier um schnelle Rückmeldung und Bearbeitung des Problems.

### 2/5 — Please

*2025-10-27*

I have photos of my dead dog on he’s last day alive in the fault, and everytime I try to open it it just kicks me out😢

### 2/5 — Photo limited

*2025-08-31*

Is there any photos uploaded limited

### 1/5 — Apple Watch app does not work

*2025-07-05*

I downloaded this app specifically to keep another photo album on my Apple Watch for use in watery environments. The Apple Watch app does not work. Therefore this app is useless to me.

### 5/5 — Nice app but put option to loop videos

*2024-07-21, version 3.7*

Best to put option to loop videos.

### 5/5 — Sam Smithe

### 1/5 — Leider kein Export möglich

*2022-09-25*

Beim Datenexport gibt es leider nur ein kryptische Fehlermeldung. Deshalb z Zt nicht verwendbar.

**Developer response:** Gerne würden wir mehr über den Fehler erfahren um allfällige Korrekturen umzusetzen. Wir wären daher im ein Feedback an info@bitcommander.ch sehr dankbar. MfG

### 5/5 — I can finally access my memories from my wrist without having my phone on me!

*2022-01-05*

This app deserves a 5-Star because it has given me the freedom to leave my phone at home and access my memories from my wrist.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2021-11-26*

I have no sound

### 5/5 — Cool app but could use some improvements

*2021-02-01*

So this app works well, and I like that it has an Apple Watch app. For the watch app, the interface is not good. You should let the pics display in the full screen and allow us to swipe from one pic to the next. The little arrows at the bottom of the screen for navigation are not practical for such a small device. I hope you will consider making that change. Thanks.
