With the Life Memories app, you can collect and preserve the moments that matter most in your life – using both photos and text.
A personal space to relive the joy of your own experiences and to selectively share them with the people you care about. Memories have value and deserve a platform designed to preserve them – without the pressure of likes. You can keep your memories private, share them with family and friends, or co-create memory books together, where everyone can contribute photos and text. TRY OUT THE APP FOR FREE! When you download the app, you can decide how you want to try it: * GUEST – no login required * LOGIN – gives you extra features such as backup and the ability to share your memories You can see the difference between GUEST and LOGIN in the slides above. As a GUEST or LOGIN user, you can create up to 20 memories for free – and there is no time pressure.
 After creating 20 memories, you can decide whether you would like to continue with a subscription. With a subscription, you can create an unlimited number of memories.
The different subscription plans include increasing photo limits, starting from 2,000 photos and going up to 20,000 photos, depending on your needs.
 You also have the option of putting your subscription on STANDBY during periods when you don’t use the app as much. Your memories will remain safe and accessible, and you can still read them – but editing and sharing are paused while the subscription is on standby. Preserve your life story. Whether it is your children’s upbringing, travels, your personal life journey, or moments shared with friends, Life Memories helps you keep everything gathered in one place. Sometimes it can be hard to remember when something happened – or to find the photo memory you are looking for. With the app’s unique structure and tag system, you get a clear overview where memories never get lost in digital chaos. Enjoy your memories for your own pleasure – or share and relive them together with family and friends.
