this app force us to invite friends to use!
cannot sign up without adding the friends you recommended, but I don't know them???
Boooo. I should be able to download the app without forcing me to send an invite to people. I understand the point is connection with real friends but I want to try the app myself before inviting my friends to use it too. Stupid.
doesn't load anymore. idk what happened but after 52weeks of consistent posting everyday, it doesn't load anymore. it's just a loading screen no matter how long i wait
you have to jump through too many fiery hoops just to activate retro 😭
Messaging my contacts without confirmation is the darkest of dark patterns. Uninstalled immediately.
my photos are not in order when uploaded
i wanted to use this app because of snapchats new terms of service, i have a lot of old memories i wanted to store and this was reccomended on social media. little did i know that it wont let u use the app if u have barely any family and friends, I do not know 10 people. What a waste of my time- this app is only for a select group, dont waste ur time if u dont know 10 people. it wont let u through
u now have to pay to upload vids
Worst app I have seen in my life, always something goes wrong when I try to login or select a username
pissing me off
this app charged me the annual subscription. i opt the weekly then when i had enough money on my ewallet they charged me the annual subscription.
FORCED to repost to social media to access app.
you Have to have friends on the app of youre forced to chose strangers to share photos too?? what the helli
since I paid for it the app started to be useless. I can't save the recaps to my phone properly (it saves a different layout than I wanted). I don't like it anymore.
it's cute but uploading pictures takes too long even though I'm just uploading one picture
I downloaded this through mobile phone and finished my registration with phone number, however I cannnot sign in or even pass phone verification on my tablet :/ I thought about sign in with Google account but i couldn't connect my current account with my email as a new login method
i don't trust its security or privacy promise.
Hello! I think there is a bug. My phone number can't be verified. I have a lot of photos in my account and now I can't open it because my phone number verification always fails and try again. Please fix this 🥺
lovely app and even subscribed to premium but since getting a new phone when i go to add photos it's just stuck eternally buffering
I don't have a phone number is there anyway to use the app without a phone number?
I can't log in, its loading time takes forever even though my wifi is stable. I have reinstalled so many times, still not able to log in.
我明明是設定英文，但是程式裡面的語言會跑掉😭😭
nice
I had to add a bunch of random people on the app before I could start using it
I love that you can send real post cards. but when I reinstall the app I'm forced to create a new account every time! my previous account still clearly exists as the username is taken, but it's impossible to login to the account. even using the same phone number. is this normal?
