The average person has over 2,000 images stored on their phones. These are images that make up our lives, our very own history. We all love looking at our old photos but in reality we rarely have the time to do so. Why? Because life moves on and we carry on creating more photos - we live in the today. You get a special feeling when you look over old photos, Phlashback aims to provide you with this special feeling more frequently by surprising you with your own memories. Phlashback uses your camera roll and selects a random photo or photos from your past. It will then send you a PUSH notification (you can choose when and how often) which will show you these photos from your past. Bring forgotten photos back to life with Phlashback!
