User Reviews

1 Second Everyday is loved for its nostalgic concept—short clips that build yearly memory videos and help reflect on life. Pros include ease of use, family-memories value, Live Photo/video import support, and strong sentimental payoff with good support. Common cons are data loss and deletions, crashes/white screens after updates, monetization changes that gate exports and introduce ads, and persistent notifications. Overall, it remains cherished for memory making, but reliability and data preservation must improve.
Pros
  • Captures memories over time with 1-second clips, creating a powerful personal life diary that's fun to look back on.
  • Produces yearly memory videos (family yearbooks) that document growth and milestones.
  • Intuitive and easy to use, making it simple to add clips and build memories.
  • Supports importing snippets from Videos and Live Photos, increasing flexibility.
  • Strong sentimental value and consistent support, with some users praising responsive customer service.
Cons
  • Data loss and deletions of old projects/media; saved progress can disappear or get deleted.
  • Instability issues including crashes, freezes, and white screens after updates; compatibility problems with newer versions.
  • Monetization and feature changes that gate exports (eg, 60fps/4K) and include ads, plus removal of some export features.
  • Nagging in-app notifications that ignore user settings.

(May 2026 Edit) I’ve used this app for over 10 years. I’ve loved it, but the newest updates have made the video quality worse! I’ve had the feature to export my snippets in 60 fps for years. It used to be a toggle. Now that toggle has been removed not only for 4K exports (Paying for Pro) but also for 1080p exports. I want my memories to last by having the best quality videos by recording everything in 4K 60fps. But unfortunately 2025/2026 projects will look WORSE because the devs won’t fix this. I’ve tried to work with support on this many times but they haven’t been helpful. Maybe it’s time to try another app. ———————————————- I love this app! I used it most of 2013 and compiled my first year of snippets together. I love going back and watching it again and again. I love most the idea of recording 1 second to help me reflect later, rather than losing the opportunity to enjoy the moment at hand. Thank you!
