Project Life

but I did when I needed to simplify my possessions, and I’ve never looked back on physical products... I LOVE scrapping with this app. There are so many scrap kits available in the app for a low cost purchase, and some free ones also. Free fonts as well as a paid upgrade to upload any font you want. There are many videos by Becky Higgins as well as prominent digital scrappers on Facebook and YouTube to help us get the most out of this app. You won’t be alone in learning this app and getting tons of ideas to make the most wonderful scrapbooks you and your friends and family will love for years to come.

I’ve been using this app to make photo books for my family for years. I transitioned from digital scrapbooks with photoshop to using this. It’s great because I can work on-the-go. There are many kits available and they are affordable. I hope they continue to make kits for years to come!

I’ve been using this app for many years and I’ve created many pages I’ve printed and made into books. I recently got an iPad specifically to use with the app so it’s easier to see what I’m doing instead of using my phone. I have spent a lot of money buying kits and features over the years for this app and I never buy add ons for other apps. Never. Hardly any of purchases have transferred and are not usable on my iPad. I have been emailing the support for almost a year trying to get it worked out. Last I heard from them was weeks ago. The support is just one person who answers all the emails. I have loved this app but being able to get help is super frustrating. I don’t understand why it almost seems forgotten by the people who created it. Just beware if you use it across devices your purchases may not transfer and be available on all those devices. And if you need to contact support you may not be able to get the help you need.

I started using this app and buying kits a few months ago because I wanted to shift away from documenting online. And though I’ve enjoyed learning how to navigate it and create in this space, I am finding it incredibly frustrating that certain cards are only for certain spaces within a given layout. I buy a kit that I like sometimes only because of a few cards I want to use; only to find out that they don’t actually work in the places I would like them to. I don’t understand why there has to be a division of title cards, journaling cards, etc., within a layout. They should all be able to be used interchangeably. Needs improvement.

The free download of the app includes plenty of free layouts, card kits, and fonts to get you started. Of course, there are in app purchases for TONS more layouts and card kits, a few more fonts and a couple of added journaling options as well. The layouts you make with this app are based on the old paper Project Life pocket style scrapbooking. It is intended to be easy and quick but still provide beautifully designed cards to complement your photos. I wanted to leave an updated detailed review because many of the older ones are negative. There was a period of time when the app was on the back burner but they do regular (not monthly) updates again now. I came across the app when I was searching for an easy on the go way to scrapbook a road trip and I have NEVER looked back. There are so many card kits in the app- hundreds! Of course, not all will be your style but there’s so many to choose from. And if you’ve been using the app for the near ten years I have, you might want to try adding cards from other digital scrapbooking stores to your pages (you can download, unzip, and store them in a cloud or your photos app then add them to a page through the photo selection tool). There is no easier way to scrapbook than this. PERIOD. PeRiOd!! To see the types of pages you can make with this app, join me in the App Scrappers Simply Project Life Facebook Group (not affiliated with the company because they don’t really have a FB presence anymore, they are on Instagram though, as Becky Higgins LLC.)

Too many times I have worked on a page and come back to it to find it is gone. I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve been told by support that I haven’t updated the app (incorrect). Also, I HATE that you can’t buy the kits and use them on your Mac book or your IPad.

Becky Higgins is an arrogant narcissist person, which impacts the advancement of the brand’s products. She presents herself as God’s gift to the scrapbooking. The updates are few and far between, she looks down her nose at suggested updates/requests that have been asked for by many subscribers for years. There is inconsistency with supporting and updating this app! There are other scrapbook “influencers” who deserve your hard earned money! Keep looking…

I have followed Becky since Creating Keepsakes. I love this app. I’ve made a few books, finally. I have manny more to go. But now it seems Becky and team are too busy with IG to care about the rest of us who don’t use IG or who don’t have the $ to “belong” to the special group. I feel pretty left out, and yes, I’d like to see some new kits and ways to organize them. I’m waiting for PL to email to say their done with us.

Could not edit text once it’s in. Template pages were also uneditable so you end up paying for just color backgrounds. Incredibly frustrating to work with.

I used to love this app. I went back to after some time away but now it is barely working. I have loved doing my pages this way in the past but I guess I’ll have to look for something new. Pretty sad after all the money I’ve spend on kits. I hear there is an update but so far it has just made things worse. I’d like some word on if this app is going to be working soon or not.☹️
