Best way to keep family up to date

Augusta0012

This app is so easy to post and for family to comment. I love that it is private, and only the people you invite can see. This has been an incredible tool for us to connect our child’s birth and adoptive extended families. It’s been easy enough that even the great grandparents use it, no problem!

A family friendly app

A great app for private photo sharing and keeping up with family members/nephews/nieces/grandchildren from afar.

Time tested and true

My family has been using this app almost daily for over 4 years. I love it. It allows me to share pictures of my kids with only family - people who really are interested in them - and not overload IG or FB. I love that I know exactly who is able to see the pictures. I get to stay connected with my family/nieces and nephews all over the world.

This is a great way to keep up with family and friends...safe and easy to navigate.

Pretty good FB alternative

Overall I like this app. We use it to share what’s going on with out friends and family. From what I can tell, they respect user privacy which is the distinction from FB. So, the bottom line is that it’s good. That said, here is what concerns me and/or I’d like to see I. Future versions: 1. They don’t update that often. That’s concerning because it makes me think their revenue model isn’t working and they could go under any day. Then what happens to all the content I’ve invested? 2. I wish I could create paragraphs. Everything is one huge paragraph. It seems like a small thing but not being able to properly format your writing kinda stinks. 3. The signup process for people that you give access to is a bit wonky. I’ve had to help people get through it, and it should just be easy. 4. Other people can contribute to your feed. I don’t like that. I want to manage who can and cannot add posts to my family’s feed. I especially want to be able to delete anything I don’t approve of. 5. I wish the max number of words allowed for for stories was longer. Sometimes I want to write an actual story. Crazy. I pay the monthly fee for the HD video upload. I think it’s worth it. I like this app. I’m just nervous it’s not getting much attention

Printing books functionality lacking all else recommendable

This app works well to coordinate and share updates in a private forum with family. Video stream with just the basic package are sufficient and the app functionality are easy to manage. I give it 4 stars because I was disappointed that I couldn’t print books from the posts, including the texts. Not much was published when we were deciding to use this app or not, and the functionality is very basic.

Privacy needs improvement

For an app that boasts privacy, 23 Snaps makes it super easy for the people you share your child’s photos with to download them to their device. I tried this app as an alternative to social media only to find this app makes it super easy for people to download a photo and do whatever they want with it - including posting on other sites that have more privacy concerns. Album owners should be able to toggle off the download option.
