TimeHut for Pc

I’ve had this app for a year, and it has really slipped in quality since I started using it. On the plus size, it is user friendly and well laid out. That is the only ice thing to say. The negatives far outweigh the positives. Uploading pictures and videos to the app used to be no problem. Now, it is an exercise in patience like no other. It literally takes days to upload videos. If you try to upload multiple videos and/or pictures, you will wait and wait while a progress circle hovers at 20% indefinitely. Then you get a series of error messages over and over that include things like “request timed out,” or “unable to connect to server.” This will go on for days and you have to keep the app open as much as possible because you can only upload if it’s open. I currently have three videos in my upload queue that I tried to upload three days ago. It’s infuriating. You also cannot invite anyone to join and view your photos unless you use Facebook, which I don’t. When I first started using this app, you could invite via text or email, but they changed it to only allow invitations through Facebook. Again, infuriating. Finally, beware that if you join and start putting up pictures, you will eventually be required to pay $30 PER YEAR to continue using this app. In my opinion, this is highway robbery and a pretty shameless bait and switch. The service isn’t remotely worth the cost, not to mention how smarmy is. Very frustrating and expensive app.

This app is not only exceptional for sharing any and all updates regarding our little one, but its also great for families that are separated by distance. My family lives farther away and have only seen him twice since he was born 6 months ago. We can upload daily pictures and videos easily while adding in the milestones and measurements as well, and our family members can comment and like our moments. Anyone we choose to share our moments with (either via the app or via email), can stay up to date with how quickly he is changing! For anything that isnt obvious on the app, I had a question about editing the milestones feature, so I emailed customer service and someone got back to me very promptly with the answer I needed. The free version is more than adequate for our needs, but we have been considering the upgraded version as well. I consider myself a more private person, so its nice to have an app to post pics/vids on where only selected people can view them. This way I feel l

I have been using for 4 years and told everyone to get this app when it first came out. It had all sorts of back up features like a web page back up and batch download of all pics. Suddenly, I have now run out of storage (which was never limited before) and they want to charge me $30 a year for each kid, when I already paid for the app. I have plenty of free storage elsewhere and better paid storage but this developer is completely unethical. All of my work for four years on two kids is lost unless I take off of work and manually download each picture. Now, I have the pictures THAT I TOOK backed up elsewhere, however, any picture that someone else sent me (family and friends) I may have uploaded here instead of putting on my camera roll. All my notes about their height and weight, all major milestones, I can’t even copy and paste - I have to take a screen shot. Bad Karma to these people for screwing over busy mothers who don’t have days to redo the work they already did and trusted these people to be honest about. DON’T GET THIS APP!!! IT IS A SCAM!!!!

**EDITED** I’ve used this app since it was called Time Hut years ago. Over the last few years, free features have been consistently and aggressively limited in order to provide those features to paid service members, rather than rolling out newer, better features for paid service. Also, they took away the batch backup option (to create a zipped backup file emailed to you) and at some point they started compressing uploaded photos to incredibly small sizes so at this point they are hardly print-worthy anymore. I used to love this app, but I’d rather use a service like google photos that provides most of the features of this app, unlimited photo storage (FREE) at barely compressed ratios that are still very much print-worthy, auto-backup, etc. Goodbye Peek-A-Boo. My only wish is that they would let you make basic edits (crop, straighten, exposure, saturation) before you upload and also make a photo book feature that gives you more control over arranging and cropping before sending to print. Otherwise, this app is amazing for collective storing and sharing of photos/videos!
