Perfect keepsake
I love this book so much. I’m giving it four stars because the UX of uploading/finding photos has changed but not for the better. It used to be simple to find photos, but now it’s a struggle.
Easy app and beautiful book
I have been using this app for 3 years. I love how it perfectly captures our family’s adventures and preserves them in a beautiful album. The app is so easy to use and has great features like uploading videos that are easy to access with QR codes printed on the pages. It has weekly questions to make sure you stay up to date on updating your book. I have pulled the album out during my daughter’s birthdays to highlight special moments through her year. I always get so many compliments on how beautiful the pages are and how organized the content is . Thank you for this product. Very well done.

App crashes
I really want to love the app. I’ve heard fantastic things about the quality of printed pages, and I love the app when it works. But it doesn’t work very well. Pretty much crashes every time I upload something. Hopefully the development team can work out the kinks.
Best baby book app!!!
I’ve used this app for my baby book for over a year, and my baby’s book is absolutely beautiful. It was so easy to keep up with, I got notifications for the prompts! Nothing is missing. I love the ability to create collages on the pages.
Great if you put in the time
Only takes a few minutes a day but if you don’t keep up with it then it might take longer. Pictures take me the longest to organize and sometimes I worry I’ve already used a picture somewhere else in the book. It would be helpful if there was a feature to alert you if the same or a similar picture was already used. A prompt or a tab you could quickly look through that shows all pictures and videos used. The questions are creative, and I am thankful for those specific prompts. I used this app when my son was born. I got a little bit behind and thought that a paper baby book would be easier with my daughter, but I ended up just wanting to do this with her again because it so hard with kids to have a paper baby book out all the time and remember to write in it. This makes it easier to catalog every little memory.. there’s plenty of space to write down all the funny little memories that you have that you don’t wanna forget. Would recommend.

Account disappeared?
Helped me recover my account after a typo when setting up my account. Thank you! Creating my baby’s book has been easy and fun to do with this app!
Looooove it
As a totally exhausted new mom, this was the only baby book I could actually keep up with. The Short Years made it easy to capture memories during naps and late-night feeds, and getting the pages mailed to us felt like such a win. I’m so grateful we didn’t lose these moments — they go by way too fast.

Exactly as advertised
So beautiful and easy to use. You can choose when your notifications remind you to work on your baby book. Love the update to adjust photos too!
The Easiest Baby Book!
When I was pregnant with our daughter, I knew I wanted to document her first year but also knew I wasn’t going to stay on top of scrapbooking. When I stumbled across The Short Years, I knew I struck gold! Not only was everything in an easy format via an app, BUT I could combine both words and pictures in a clean, easy to follow way. This baby book helped me capture all her first milestones and big changes that happen that first year. We LOVE flipping through her baby book. Now I’m pregnant with my son and can’t wait to get started on his baby book. I know they are something we’ll keep will cherish forever! Thank you Short Years! 🩷🩵

Everything is beautifully designed, intuitive, and quick to customize—even during the busiest newborn days.
I love how it turns everyday moments into meaningful keepsakes without requiring hours of work. It truly takes the stress out of documenting memories and helps you create something you’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend to any parent—absolutely deserving of 5 stars!

Brilliant Way to Actually Complete a Baby Book
The Short Years app makes it easy to create and most importantly, complete a baby book! The concept is simple yet unique. With the convenience of your smartphone, you can easily choose photos, customize layouts, and complete the prompts each month of your baby’s first year.
I love that the app is owned and operated by a family run small business and that the printing and production takes place in the United States.
I managed to complete my son’s baby book in his first year and am now committed to keeping up with completing a baby book for each of our twin daughters.

Baby book made easy
We’ve been using The Short Years to document our baby’s milestones, likes, dislikes, growth and all for 6 months now. I love that you can set reminders to go in and answer just a few questions at a time, and have chapters printed later on.
The BEST Baby Book!
I was hesitant on doing a baby book at first because it would take so much time that I really didn’t have. When I came across The Short Years Baby Book, it seemed like something I could possibly do. I downloaded the app and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! When I am “nap trapped” I spend time working in the short years baby book app on my phone. I can keep up with the baby book so easily because I have everything I need at my fingertips. I LOVE this app and the book is such great quality! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a baby book!

Easy to use
Very easy to use! Great to be able to work on my baby book during feeds and contact naps
Parent Hack!
Absolutely love this baby book design. It’s aesthetic, customizable, and so easy to do! The daily reminders are everything. And includes prompts I would never think of to add! Ultimate parent hack for actually finishing a baby book.
A great gift!
I received this baby book as a gift, and it has been so fun to complete it as my baby grows. There is also an online community of support where you can ask questions and receive inspiration. So well thought out and meaningful!!
Amazing!
Couldn’t be happier! Decided to try this out after seeing several ads for it and am so happy with my decision. As much as I’d love to do a scrapbook myself, I simply do not have the time or energy. This is clean, beautiful, and timeless! I started doing this for my second child now I’m going to go play catch up and order one for my first!

10000/10 recommend!
I absolutely love this app. It has been a game changer for me with making a baby book for my child! I had a goal in mind to make and finish a baby book and a physical book is just so hard to remember to write in every day or every moment vs this app you can just click on it and put in what happened in a quick moment. It has really saved me so much time! I have and will continue to recommend this to everyone I know that has or is having a baby!

So great!
I have been using The Short Years since my daughter was born almost three years ago. It’s easy to use and makes it so quick to create a special book of memories! I tell everyone about The Short Years!
Wonderful!!
I have twins and really wanted to create baby books for them but was completely overwhelmed at the idea of it. After a friend told me about The Short Years I immediately downloaded and got to work. It is SO easy. Yes it takes time but I love that I don’t have to worry about my handwriting and finding the same pen for a hand written book. And let me tell you, the books are BEAUTIFUL! It’s so easy to complete the chapter and attach photos right from your phone. I get so excited for the chapter to come in the mail! I’ve already recommended this to all of my friends with new babies and even one with a 15 month old that was too overwhelmed to start a baby book from the beginning. Pro tip for twin moms - you can copy answers from one baby to the other saving SO much precious time!
