Qeepsake: Journal & Milestones

I initially liked this app a lot. I used it a ton and bought their overpriced book of pictures and journal entries back in 2021 after keeping up with it for a year. Today, three years later, I realize they’ve been charging me for their premium app use without any notice or emails or anything. I checked and I haven’t gotten an email from them since 2020. How is that ok?

App is not intuitive, and questions are repetitive and not age appropriate (eg asking about what milestones my 5-day old has hit lately). When you delete your account you still get texts. I wouldn’t be nearly as irritated if there were a monthly subscription because now I wasted $50 for a year when I could only stand using it for 2 months.

I like the concept and the reminders to write my memories. I just got through my year and printed my book. I printed the soft cover to be within my credit amount (I had about 100 pages and it cost about $65 for a soft cover). The pictures look like they were printed from someone's home printer and look faded. I don't think it will stand the test of time. Additionally there isn't much room for formatting. I think Shutterfly would've been a better option tbh. Again, good concept, but the quality is not worth the price.

9/4/24 UPDATE: I would love the ability to duplicate an entry so that I can add an entry to both of my kids books. In other words, be able to save an entry in both of my kids books at one time instead of having to manually add it to each book. I was shown an ad for this app when scrolling on Instagram and after looking into it I had to give it a try because I’m terrible and maintaining journals and albums for my daughter. This has been great so far but I wish there was a way to give it some individuality as far as design. The cover and pages are pretty plain..you can’t even change the color of the fonts. In the end I love the simplistic design yet it would be nice to give it SOME individuality.

Love the app and how easy it is to add memories to create books for my kids. I’m very active about adding photos and comments. I wish I could upload more than 10 at a time, and it would be great if I could post to Facebook and have it directly post in the book or the reverse. Highly recommend to all but review is for the app.

While this app is a great idea it is set up very poorly. The questions they ask have nothing to do with the age of my child making the whole thing irrelevant. Such a shame

I wish I’d gotten it sooner, to type entries when my little girl was first born and I was up late so many nights with her! But even starting at 8 months I love answering what feel like questions from caring girlfriends! An easy way to journal even in the chaos of new motherhood!

I like a lot of things about the app. It’s so nice to be able to text memories. But i have 5 kids and their birthdays are close to each other so for weeks surrounding their birthdays I get multiple texts with questions at the exact same time. So I can only answer the most recent one and I have to get into the app to answer the others. It would be nice if the questions were spaced enough at least by an hour to actually answer before getting another one. I just don’t have time to go into the app to answer all the questions I miss. So for me, the free version is nice. I don’t think it’s worth the added costs of the upgrades.

I wanted to use this app but I tried to download and I can’t even look to see if it will work with what I want

I’m really disappointed. When I signed up for Premium Qeepsake in December, I had the option to download PDFs for free so I could print my baby book wherever I want - and there’s also an option to print through Qeepsake. I never had the chance to download anything, and when I checked today I saw they quietly changed the memberships without notifying anyone. So just FYI, if you pay $95 a year you still have to pay them every time you want to download the memories you put into the app. The books are very expensive, too. Such terrible ethics.
