### 3/5 — I love this but want to love it more

*2026-01-09*

This app is everything I want in a second a day app. I’ve been able to create a backlog of yearly second a day videos that make the Live Photo feature so valuable. The free version is still completely usable but I would buy the lifetime subscription and give the app 5 stars if it fix several issues. 
1. The app constantly freezes and closes. 
2. It hesitates when making selections that when I want to use it I can’t be in a hurry. 
3. I could actually download my videos. Currently when I ask it to do that it just spins and spins until ultimately the app freezes and force closes. 

The app has a potential for greatness and I hope soon it’ll improve and I can purchase and give 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the honest feedback and for bringing these issues to our attention. If you'd like, you can reach out to support@snapsecond.co with more information on the bugs. We would love to get these issues resolved, thanks.

### 5/5 — Perfect Memories App!

*2025-11-22*

So excited to find a 1SE alternative! I’ve been searching for exactly this. Love having loner length videos and especially as many clips as I want. It makes me pause and talk in the moments of my life because I know I’ll have somewhere magical to put them. Any chance uploading music will be an option in the future?

**Developer response:** Hi, glad you’re enjoying Snap Second! Really appreciate the support. You should be able to upload your own music if you click “My Audio” in the music editing tab. 

Feel free to reach out to our support if needed: support@snapsecond.co

Thanks!

### 5/5 — The best 1SE alternative.

*2025-10-28*

This brand new app is such a great replacement for 1SE before they added a lot of things behind a paywall. I’m excited to see this app grow. The first release has me hopeful I can once and for all delete 1SE forever.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We are glad to hear you enjoying Memoir and will definitely continue to grow/improve.
