Famileo

We did this for our parents as a Christmas and anniversary gift. They love receiving each gazette, and sharing it with their friends too. It's a great way of getting the grandchildren and grandparents talking as they can start a conversation about the things they post. It takes as much time to create a post on the app as it does to post on social media. The only downside for us is the low character count for messages, as sometimes the gaps look too much against the pictures, and you want to write more to explain things better. You can only post three pictures per message, but if you have a photo-collage app you can add them there and then upload that one picture. The quality of the paper and print is fantastic. Well worth doing!!

Cela fait bientôt un an que j’utilise Famileo qui s’avère devenir extrêmement irritant à la l’utilisation à la longue étant le nombre point de frictions. Pour n’en nommer que quelques unes: - pas d’import possible depuis l’application photo - pas d’import des metadonnées de la photo lors du rajout - impossible de partager un article déjà écrit avec une autre gazette - Pas de possibilité d’autoriser un autre membre à modifier ses articles

I love Famileo. My dad is in a Methodist care home, and it’s free for us both to use, but when my mum was alive, in a different home, I was still happy to pay for her to have a weekly gazette, because she got so much out of it. I can’t see my dad in person as much as I would like to because we live so far apart, but the gazette allows our family to keep in touch with him, and let’s him see what we’re all doing. He has very severe short term memory problems, but I have come to realise that regularly seeing our posts is helping him learn things like names of our pets, which he would otherwise not know. I’m not saying it’s important for him to know our pets’ names, of course, just that it shows me he’s taking in and retaining information. When my mum was alive, we sent her a weekly gazette and, when we emptied her room, we found all of them, obviously read dozens of times, with many of her annotations. She loved seeing her children and grandchildren and wrote about her feelings on the gazettes. They are very precious to me now. Writing posts is no more difficult than any other social media post, by the way. If you can do Facebook you can do Famileo. Thank you, Famileo. I’m so grateful for whoever came up with such a fantastic idea.

Spoke to a member of the Famileo team as I am a carer in a home that oversees Famileo but since your recent update, I can no longer log into the app as I post pics for some of my residents. I’m not sure if the individual I spoke to has brought this up already but I can’t access the app at all. And can’t sign up either to see if it was an issue with my username

My dad is in a lovely care home, but we are all over the country so not able to visit him regularly face to face. This is such a lovely way to let him know what we are doing and to share photos of our family with him.

Avantages: - possibilité d’avoir plusieurs abonnements; - possibilité d’utiliser les mêmes postes sur les différents abonnements; - collaboration très facile entre membres de la famille. Inconvenients: - bugs; - soutien tout relatif du service client; - pas de sauvegarde des postes non envoyés.

Super initiative et super application. Ma grand-mère qui réside en ehpad reçoit sa gazette tous les lundis. Merci et encore bravo à vous.

Genial pour les grands parents ou pour tout membre de la famille isolé, et créé des liens entre ceux qui participent !

Bonne fonctionnalité et super concept ! Suggestion pour amelioration future: reduire le nombre d’etapes entre le choix des photos, si je decide de ne pas choisir une photo mais je veux prendre la prochaine il faut revenir 4 etapes en arriere Pas la fin du monde mais pas super

Meilleur cadeau que l’on puisse faire à nos grands-parents. Ma grand-mère attend le sien avec impatience toutes les quatre semaines et le relit régulièrement. Elle adore! C’est aussi indirectement une manière sympa de partager des nouvelles entre cousins. Je ne peux que recommander et surtout remercier l’entreprise derrière l’app !
