My new go to for capturing memories

Really love this app. I had become bored of shooting videos and pictures without sound don’t often convey what I was trying to achieve. I think there’s something visceral and incredibly satisfying about a still
Image that is paired with sound from a moment that pulls you in more than a video can. Great work and I love the new landscape mode.

Response from developer

Hey Sean, thanks so much! It's really cool to see other people resonating with the idea, I totally agree that there is "something visceral and incredibly satisfying about a still Image that is paired with sound". Having made Sound Journals many years now I can also add that they get better with time, when scrolling my camera roll I anticipate hearing the recordings as much if not more than looking at the photos. More to come. Cheers!

Great App

Wow

So fun

Love this! Will be a game changer for my insta feed!! Thank you so much!
