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.

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.
