Thank You for Bringing My Beloved Photo Journal Back!

I have been using Collect since 2010, and over the years it has become much more than just an app to me. I have nearly 10,000 photos saved here, carefully organized into my daily photo journal. For many years, I loved adding one photo each day. Looking back at a month of pictures allows me to remember where I went, what I did, and so many little moments of my life.A few years ago, the app stopped working as well as it once did, and I became very worried about losing all of these memories. When I changed my iPhone in 2021, my daughter helped me transfer Collect and warned me that it might become difficult to transfer the app again in the future. Because of that, I have actually kept the same iPhone for five years, even though I wanted to upgrade, simply because I was afraid of losing my Collect photo journals.So you can imagine how happy I was to see Collect updated and beautifully brought back to life! Seeing the refreshed app and new logo was such a wonderful surprise.To the developer: thank you sincerely for continuing and improving this app. You have preserved something very precious to me — years of memories and a visual diary of my life.I highly recommend Collect to anyone who loves keeping a simple, meaningful photo journal. Meantime, I tried another paid app but gave up. I was so comfortable to use this app. And even if there is a subscription or fee in the future, I would gladly pay for an app that has meant this much to me.Thank you for giving my photo memories a future. ❤️

Important app for non-scrapbookers/journalers

This app is the perfect way for someone like me to document my life and my family’s lives, without too much effort and without having to over-post on social media. I paid for the upgrades. A few issues and changes I’d like to see:-When choosing my pics for the day, I’d like to be able to put them in my preferred order. I always select them in the order I want, but they rearrange to the order they are in in my camera roll. This means that the main photo that represents the day to me does not end up being the one I see for the day in calendar view. -An important one: the days that I journal on the back of a photo do not appear to be marked in any way. Going back, I have to flip each photo around to see if I wrote anything on the back of it. In calendar view, there should be a little pen icon on days that have journaling included. -There appears to be a glitch when I upload photos with a different date. Sometimes I will receive photos from someone the day after an event. Or I will download them from social media. So they will be saved to my camera roll on a date later than they were actually taken. When I go to document them in Collect, it notices that the dates differ and asks if I want to save it under the ‘correct’ date. I say ‘no thanks’, meaning, I want it to save to the date that I already selected, and then it changes the date to something two or three days earlier. Why would it do this?! It took me trying to save photos from my grandpas memorial many times over two days to finally figure out that I could go ahead with the completely wrong date and then correct the date on each photo. 👎

I’ve been using this app since 2014.

I’ve been a big fan of this app since I first started using it in 2014. I use it as a photo collection diary. I take at least one photo a day. I have so many memories on this app and I love the feature of tagging my photos. I use this to tag my photos into categories. My one recommendation for this app to be improved would be if tagging bulk photos would be easier. Instead of clicking on the details on each photo during the draft picks of bulk photos, then clicking on each detail, assigning the tag, etc. I’d love the ability to tag a bulk of photos all at once. Instead of having to tag each photo with the same tag, which is time consuming. For example, I have 9 photos I upload for today that all have to do with my plant growing progress. I tag all 9 of these photos under the tag “plants”, I’d love for an easier way to tag all these at once, rather than having to click on the details of each photo having to go thru 4/5 steps to tag each photo. Or maybe perhaps on the draft page when picking the photos there could be an icon button for “tag” next to the icons of “crop, details, remove”. The icon “tag” would be useful here making the tagging feature much easier and quicker to use in less steps.

One of three excellent memoir tools...

I’m writing a memoir about the last year and a half in which I was diagnosed with leukemia in a routine yearly doctor’s visit. It has been an amazing experience from diagnosis to remission. Unfortunately, I didn’t journal during it and I’m reconstructing the journey with this app for a visual reconstruction using its calendar view (it’s amazing how different photos are experienced when they’re presented on a month-at-a-glance calendar vs a list or gallery view), and PhoneView to download all my texts which I imported and sorted with Excel. The third tool is My Wonderful Days. I am using this in a similar way to Collect except texts/conversations are presented in calendar view... very helpful in accurately recreating what I thought was an unforgettable experience. It is an unforgettable experience, AND having the details available is priceless.
