### 5/5 — App is finally good again, even better than ever

*2026-08-12, version 5.87.1*

I just updated to Version 5.87.1 and can say thay the app is finally good again after a long period of buggy mess! I honestly was on the verge of switching to a different service but I’m glad I stayed with Tiny Beans. Uploading & captioning are now a swifter and faster process with a new interface, making this version the best it’s ever been. Kudos to the dev team and please keep up the good work!!!

### 2/5 — Obsessive Notifications!

*2026-08-10, version 5.87.1*

Love the app, hate that the company sends constant notifications asking for pictures to be uploaded. No one wants emails every day!

### 5/5 — Awesome app but I do have a suggestion.

*2026-08-09, version 5.87.0*

Love the app now using it for 4 years. Would be a really cool idea to be able to make a profile than can only view pictures on the account. Can't add anything, can't comment...just look. I would love for my lil guy to be able to explore his memories once in a while. Keep up the great work.

### 2/5 — New update sucks

*2026-08-07, version 5.87.0*

The new update sucks. I can’t tell what date i took the most recent pics i want to upload until after i choose them.

### 2/5 — New update stinks

*2026-08-05, version 5.87.0*

New update is awful. So hard to navigate. Did anyone QA this at all?

### 4/5 — The best photo sharing app for families

*2026-08-05, version 5.87.0*

We love Tinybeans! We downloaded it because we wanted to share photos of our son and we were hesitant to "over-share" on social media. We also wanted a way for grandparents who aren't active on social media to see pictures. It's such a simple, private and user-friendly way to share photos with family and friends. We especially love the month-in-review collage and the option to create a book with the photos. Our family and friends love that they can see pictures via the email updates or within the app. It's been so much fun to be able to share moments from each day with the people we care about most!

### 2/5 — New GUI

*2026-08-03, version 5.86.0*

The newest GUI removed the ability to see the date of the pics when uploading, captions must be made with very small pictures (hard to see which was which), and the upload button seems to have disappeared unless you do this silly dance of canceling and uploading again.  Please take it back a revision for ease in use.

### 2/5 — Not impressed so far

*2026-07-26, version 5.85.2*

This app is very frustrating to use by grandparents, who are already not necessarily adept at apps on phones and other devices. I do not want to see adds and it is constantly showing them, but the only way around seeing them is to buy a subscription. And if you are just trying follow your new grandchild, I don’t think requiring a $75 subscription to avoid ads is a viable solution, at least not in our budget. It’s great for the company though! That is why I am giving this app two stars.

### 2/5 — Couple of bugs

*2026-07-26, version 5.85.2*

It would be nice to see all albums instead of having to scroll through 22 years of photos.  Would also be helpful if user could deselect photos and they save.  I uploaded 19 photos and 1 video.  I got an error stating “video is too long”.  Yet edit didn’t work and i wasn’t able to deselect it or save what i had.  So after 10 minutes of scrolling through 22 years and selecting 19 photos and 1 video.  All progress was LOST bc no save option.

### 5/5 — Happily using for 9+ years!

*2026-07-23, version 5.85.2*

We’ve been using Tinybeans for almost 10 years now and are thankful for the organized space to hold and share our memories.

They have been very helpful anytime we’ve had hiccups.
