Features & Capabilities

Photo Flashback! surfaces photos taken on this day from your iPhone, iPad, and iCloud Photo Library across the years. Look up any date to relive memories, perfect for birthdays and anniversaries. Features include notifications for flashbacks, a Today widget, an iMessage app, and convenient actions to favorite, delete, include or exclude this year’s photos, and share with the built-in system share sheet.

Privacy is a priority: all app functionality runs locally on your device, and sharing occurs only when you choose to. When downloading from iCloud, the app requests it via iOS, ensuring your photos stay in your control. Lauded by MacStories.net and AppAdvice for its simple, privacy-conscious approach.

I love Flashback and wish it was available for iPads too!

Every night at 9pm the app notifies me and I get to walk down memory lane. I also use it as an opportunity to prune my collection. As such I wish the delete button were bigger. Other than that I love this app.

I love this app. Simply awesome. It would be even better if it could scan files on a external hard disk - for people that have really lots of photos.
