Tinybeans Private Family Album for Positive User Reviews
✓ Highly disappointed with latest updateI used to love this app. However since the last update the layout is terrible and photo editing no longer works without making every picture rotate. Also I cannot choose between picture favorites anymore..Version: 4.0.6
✓ The best app for parentsIf there is one app a new parent should get it’s this one. I’ve used Tinybeans almost everyday for over 4 years now (2 kids) and share my children’s photos and milestones with family in two different countries. It’s like our own private family social media with photos and videos I post and comments from grandparents, great aunts, and great uncles that I’m hoping my kids will enjoy looking at and reading decades from now. Also, this is an app even tech-challenged relatives can easily interact with. If your family member can open an email they can post a comment in your album. It’s truly that easy. This would make an excellent baby shower gift. Also, Tinybeans makes it incredibly easy to make photo albums, search keywords, and look back at special moments without scrolling through thousands of photos on my phone. It is the best baby item I’ve gotten..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Best photo appI discovered this app through a friend 4 years ago. Since moving overseas it has been a great way to keep friends and family updated on the kids’ activities and development. It’s such an easy app to use and is a great place to store our memories..Version: 3.25.1
✓ Wonderful appLovely app for sharing pictures without family without using traditional social media platforms. Have been using it to track the day to day changes into little one. Since little one no.2 came along it's a bit difficult to do the same. Being able to have a calendar view for each child would be lovely rather than tagging the child. Maybe I'm missing something. But still, a wonderful app..Version: 3.20.2
✓ Secure, easy to use, favorite app!I’ve had Tinybeans for almost 2 1/2 years and it is my absolute favorite app! I use it almost every day! I don’t like to upload photos of my kids on social media and Tinybeans is the absolute perfect way to get to share photos with family (or anyone else you invite!). Everything is secure and it’s easy for everyone to use. Even my kids’ great-grandma figured out how to use it! Whenever I meet another mom, Tinybeans is something I mention as a fantastic way to save memories and share pictures and stories about our kids. My sister-in-law just had her first baby and sent me this text the other day: “It’s late, and I’m just being sappy, but thank you so much for finding Tinybeans. I’m so glad there’s a place I can store all of these priceless photos of E and any subsequent children! I just love it ❤️” If that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is! I highly recommend investing in Premium—being able to download all your moments is a fantastic backup and I also love being able to share videos longer than one minute! Right now Tinybeans is a great way to show my family what my kids are like; in the future, it will be a great way to show my kids what they were like when they were little!.Version: 4.17.0
✓ Makes it EasyMy whole family is hooked. They bug me now if I’ve gone a few days without posting. I upgraded to lifetime membership immediately when I realize the perks and having to have only one archiving space. I like all of the other feedback about preemies and overdue babies. I feel like the last few updates have been more about the look of the app other than functionality. I wish the developers would create more updates on functionality than looks. More stickers, more milestone related art. Sounds petty but this app is near perfect to meet my needs. 😂 But mostly for the moment. I wish for the ability to manage users. I wish there were some analytics on who is active and not. With big families you’re required to invite everyone but I don’t want anyone to have unnecessary access if they haven’t looked at any of the photos in a year. 🤷🏻♀️.Version: 4.1.8
✓ Fantastic for sharing the special timesLove this app for sharing with family far and wide who otherwise wouldn't know what was happening from week to week. It gives everyone the chance to be as much or as little involved as they want to be perfect!.Version: 3.13.0
✓ Been using it 8 yearsCould not have asked for a better app to store and share all our family photos. We have been using it daily without fault for over 8 years for our two young children. In those years it has not faulted once. We will continue to purchase and use Tinybeans for many years to come..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Fabulous appThis fabulous app allows both family and friends to keep track (privately) of my tinybean's (my lovely baby grandson's) progress daily... from 8000 miles away. Great for new parents too with lots of hints and tips I would highly recommend this app. Keep up the good work tinybeans 👏🏻.Version: 5.61.0
✓ TinybeansFantastic way to distribute information to family and friends!.Version: 3.7.5
✓ Love this app to share family photosThis is a lovely way to keep up with my far flung family - 5 sons and their families in 3 countries. I like the immediacy of it and the fact that it’s way more intimate than other photo-sharing apps. Easy to keep current and joyous to see regular postings..Version: 5.46.1
✓ Our most important appThis app becomes more important every day we use it. I can’t believe how lucky we were to come across before our first son was born. We now have over 4 years of memories of almost every single day with both of our boys. The highs, the lows and everything in between. The days are long but the years are short. We love being able to look back in time and jog our memories on the earlier stages of their lives. Getting this app is the only advice I give to new parents. Seriously. Just love it!.Version: 4.14.0
✓ Fabulous TinybeansAs a Grandmother on the other side of the world I love Tinybeans to be able to see the Grandies growing up. Best program out!.Version: 4.15.1
✓ Great app but slow/no product deliveryLove the app but don’t order the products if you live outside of the US. Very long time and Next to impossible to get hold of anyone to assist with tracking it down. 2.5months later we are still missing our product.Version: 4.27.0
✓ Best family sharing appMy family loves Tiny Beans. Took away a star due to the price. We don’t use a number of the features and don’t use the photo book option. Wish there was a cheaper version just for photo sharing only. We do love that the app allows photo sharing but to a limited group and it’s all organized by date. The emails are a bit much so you have to make sure to download the app and turn off those notifications. The app is easy to use and we have it on the grandparents and great-grandparents’ devices..Version: 5.61.0
✓ An amazing way to share moments with loved onesWe’ve been using this since our daughter was born. It’s the most amazing way of keeping loved ones up to date with her moments - particularly because some people live far away. Plus, it’s a great way of keeping track of her progress each month. Would highly recommend to anyone with young kids..Version: 5.61.0
✓ An excellent way to store and share memoriesAll of the grandparents live overseas and this app lets us share photos and videos easily with them, without spamming social media and creating a public digital footprint for our child. When you see pics daily you feel like you are almost there with them. It's also a lovely way for a parent to look back at photos easily and see how much their child had grown..Version: 3.9.10
✓ Like it but would love some other featuresReally like it but wish there was a way to make “albums” of photos as opposed to just calendar entries.Version: 3.26.0
✓ Love the idea not keen on the advertsA great way to keep in touch and watch a little one grow up, especially when you can’t get to see them as often as you’d like. Some of the adverts are inappropriate and misleading ie someone holding the picture of a baby scan!.Version: 4.13.0
✓ Brilliant way to share our little one’s special momentsI originally downloaded this to share photos of our baby daughter with some family abroad - but now have loads of friends and family following her progress! It’s great not to inundate Instagram etc with pictures and it’s a brilliant way to share them with only close friends and family that can choose when they want to look at them. It’s also a lovely curated image calendar to look back on the last three months of her life, charting out fun and special moments - instead of scrolling through the bazillion photos in our camera rolls. It’s really well designed and intuitive to use - even my mom / Granny knows what she’s doing 😂. We love it..Version: 5.46.1
✓ Longer video capabilitiesI wish videos could be longer than 30 seconds.Version: 4.23.0
✓ Tiny BeansI love this App! The best for sharing baby pics with family! Can't wait to check it and get my Tiny Beans 'Fix' each day!.Version: 3.7.10
✓ AmazingThis has been fabulous for our family. Not only keeping family who live further away involved with the kids but also to be able to look back through the calendar at the kids growing up 😊 It’s such an important app for us 🥰.Version: 5.47.0
✓ Nice way to share baby picsLove the fact that I can share baby photos privately. Wish I found this app earlier!.Version: 3.7.10
✓ So perfect, but a couple small caveats.It’s all truly excellent. My main recommendations so far would be to make it easier to correct errors entered into height and weight measures (as I learned from a very prompt and clear customer service person named Toni, this can be done by swiping left on a given measurement, but this is not intuitive, so some kind of indication on that page would be helpful). Secondly, I recommend adding a similar measurement system for head circumference, since most doctor’s visits include that anyway, and is of higher importance in the age of Zika. Another, more challenging, issue is this: the statistics should be calibrated to take account of where children are relative to due date, not actual date of birth, so as to take into account preemies (and ‘posties’). There is a publicly available set of alternate statistics for preterm babies that can be used, as well as variant benchmarks used by CDC and WHO (the app Growth+ includes two variants for each organization, plus the preterm variant). By using the actual date of birth rather than the estimated due date, the measurement percentiles used by the Tinybeans app end up being highly skewed toward babies born exactly at their due dates. This would seem a major area of opportunity in an otherwise highly evolved, sophisticated, and delightful app!.Version: 3.21.1
✓ Fab appI have loved using this app. Perfect way to allow friends and family to share photos of our new baby. Easy to use too. Edited! Have now been using this app for 5 and a half years!!! Have my 3 children on it and thousands of amazing memories. It is so lovely to look back at how they have grown and changed. My family love seeing what the children are doing each day. Would definitely recommend..Version: 4.14.0
✓ Fantastic app!I'm totally hooked on updating tiny beans! I love it. It's easy and effective. A great way to keep family and friends up to date on my son and a wonderful memory keeper. Would give 5 stars if I could export the calendar with entries..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Love TinybeansSo I have been using the app since just before my daughter Victoria was born in Nov 2016. I have taken photos of her everyday since she was born and continue to do so daily. I am in Defence so I have no family around and have dear friends scattered all over the place. It is a wonderful platform I am recommend it to everyone I meet with little humans on the way or running around x.Version: 4.27.0
✓ So great, but an improvement suggestion..I just discovered Tinybeans and I love it so much. Such an awesome resource for our family! My baby is now almost 9 months old, but I would love to populate the months I’ve missed. In order to back-populate the last few months I have to manually scroll back through my 10,000+ pictures. This takes a long time to do and proves cumbersome for the user experience. I think it would be a huge improvement for the camera roll pictures to automatically snap to the date I select on the calendar (or at least provide this as an option in settings). I barely got through the last month and it took me hours to do this. The thought of having to go back and do the first 8 months is feeling pretty daunting, but I love it so much that I don’t want to quit — however, I don’t know that I have the time to complete it. If I am doing something wrong, please let me know! Thanks for making this app. It is wonderful. :).Version: 3.23.1
✓ The app didnt work anymore but it is working now Thank-You!I uninstalled it after it wouldn't open anymore since the update before last. When I logged in I got a message: Error the data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format. But thank you so much for mending it! It's great!.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Great App!!!This is an excellent app for storing photos, milestones and videos of you child. I am 18 months strong at capturing a photo of my son a day. My family can be added and view the photos as well. I was so excited to start journaling photos for my newborn daughter but was disappointed that it doesn’t allow you to have a separate calendar to add photos for additional children. I realize that most of the photos may duplicate for both kids on particular days and eventually down the road that might be what I switch to but having the choice of deciding between one calendar for each child would be a nice addition. I would pay for the yearly subscription if given the opportunity to do so. I love scrolling back and taking a trip down memory lane looking at how much my son has grown. I’m sad if I have to switch to another app to document my daughters year!!.Version: 3.26.0
✓ Doesn't work as well for pregnancyI have a friend who loves the app. You can download to start documenting for pregnancy which is nice in concept. Once I did, I started to get notifications asking me what my child (unborn) did today, asking me what he was wearing today etc. His birthday is the expected due date in the future and it's set to negative -- telling me that they know he's not born yet, but this programming flaw has been very annoying. I contacted customer service and they advised me to just turn off the notifications and reminders... mmmmk. How about fix the programming?? My sister had a baby so I bought her the premium version so she would stopped being hounded 24/7 for pics while trying to tend to her newborn. She loves it but agreed that is very annoying to get notifications on your unborn child's whereabouts, milestones, and outfits. Hopefully it's a simple fix but it's enough for me to not really use it at present and definitely not pay to upgrade..Version: 3.15.0
✓ Keeps my family connectedWe have family all over the world, it’s been great keeping us all connected. Easy way to share photos that doesn’t eat into my phone’s storage like our family group chat had. Really easy to use..Version: 5.48.0
✓ DisappointingThe new subscription requirement is really disappointing. A one off payment is understandable but a monthly subscription is not sustainable for everyone and with something as precious as our little ones photos it feels a bit like blackmail. I’ve been using Tinybeans for my little one since birth and he’s nearly four now. A shame I need to find another product now..Version: 5.23.0
✓ Awesome!Greatest idea!!! Been using it since 2017, have our 3 boys on it and it’s wonderful to share with thé grandparents, and even the great grandmother! Haven’t tried the photo albums yet but heure they’re nice..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love Tiny Beans!I am leery of most social media outlets and overly cautious about my children’s’ photos being posted online. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram and neither does my mom nor some other family members. But I also want to share photos of my children with a select group of loved ones without inundating them with texts or emails. Tiny Beans was the perfect solution and allows me to safely and privately share my photos with my family. I can’t believe how much they like it too! Most of them tell me it’s the best part of their day waking up and checking the app to see the kids’ pictures. It keeps us connected and current with minimal effort, no safety/privacy risks and it’s a lot of fun! Plus, then you have all your daily photos in one place. I’ve never written an app review before but just felt strongly enough about this one to take the time to recommend it and I do, very highly recommend it!.Version: 4.19.0
✓ Love this app I get to see my great nephew grow up and have fun.Title says it all ❤️.Version: 5.61.0
✓ What an amazing AppWe have been using Tinybeans since our daughter was born 7 years ago and it’s the best app to share all of the life events with family and friends!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Noah ‘s Daily EventsWhat a wonderful idea to live each day with Noah’s life , knowing each day how he advances , l enjoy every day , thank you Mum and Dad for making this possible . Love you all what a lovely family you are ..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Awesome!!I love this app!! I was lucky enough to find this in the first weeks of having a newborn so have an amazing record of my little guys first year. I like that it has the features of Instagram and the sharing ability of facebook, but only to a group that we want to share our special moments. Makes being overseas from family a little bit easier too. Such a great app. Looking forward to ordering a book too :).Version: 3.6.15
✓ Absolutely wonderful, used to be free, now is rather expensive!I love posting a picture a day and looking through to see how my son has changed. I also like being able to link family into the app, which lets them receive emails with my updated photos in, as often or as little as they like. I would recommend Tinybeans, despite the cost. I wish it was cheaper to create photobooks and post them to the UK..Version: 5.61.0
✓ A Family LifelineTinybeans is amazing as it keeps us In daily touch with our family and grandson who live in Toronto as we are in the UK. Every day since he was born in 2017 we have at least one picture or video to cherish. Seeing them brings a smile to my face every time so thank you TINYBEANS team!!! David Moed.Version: 4.27.0
✓ Such a precious app!We were recommended this app during pregnancy and I'm so grateful we were. With family spread around the country, checking the app has become a daily routine and delight for our family. It's neat to look back over the months to see just how far we've come. Thank you to the Tinybeans creators!.Version: 3.7.10
✓ Lovely safe space to share pictures of our familyI love that we can control who sees our pictures and that it’s totally private..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Mrs DacreI love this Tinybeans App it’s enable me to see My Latest Grandchild and see her daily growth and achievements. Something I am not able to do up close she lives on the other side of the world. Now with Covid 19 around it’s even more important to me, This is a wonderful idea and can’t thank you enough Tinybeans xx.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Love it!Great app to keep family in the loop. I hate the security on social media sites so this avoids all that. You can still put pics in one place and those you choose have viewing rights. Great idea!.Version: 3.9.1
✓ Very pleased but questions about daily emailsI love this app! It’s been a wonderful way to share photos of my son in a secure fashion and allow users to comment on said pictures. I started using it for the security/privacy features, but actually love it for so much more! Just made my first photo book, and if I had wanted autopopulate, it would’ve taken me less than 5 minutes to put it together and order. Editing was quick and intuitive though. A few questions/suggestions: 1. The daily emails - some of my older relatives think this is all there is to the app, so that’s a little confusing. However, these older relatives then send the photos wherever they want without thinking of my son’s privacy. I wish there were a way as a parent to choose whether these emails go out or not - just a toggle where you can turn daily emails on or off or something. Also, if they go through gmail, does gmail then use the images sent via email for deep learning etc? 2. The photo books - it would be awesome to have more page templates so we don’t have to choose between just one or four photos per page. Overall, though, we’re really pleased with the app! Great idea, great work!.Version: 4.25.0
✓ Better than their competitionTinybeans was recommended to me, but I wanted to see what else was out there. After downloading a few options (including Tinybeans) it was easy to make a choice. I wanted to make sure it was easy enough for grandparents and non-savvy family. And it has been great. There was a little confusion with initial sign-ups for some people, but we got it figured out now. When I first started using it (2 months ago) a lot of the filters, stickers, etc. weren’t working. But seems fixed now. Overall, it has been such a stress free way to share moments/photos with family across the country. We didn’t want to use Facebook and this allows everyone to feel a little bit like they are not so far away. Highly recommend for new parents! Just a couple little glitches... 1. As the main user, I can’t tell if a family member has accepted my invitation. The only way I know is when they comment on a photo. Not a huge deal, but I ended up sending multiple invitations to people because I wasn’t sure if they had received them or not. 2. Wish there were a few more image options for stickers. Not a must, but would also be cool if you could draw directly on the photo. Specifically, I was trying to draw an arrow. 3. When posting more than one photo per day, it’s not clear that it’s easy for family to tell there is more than one. 4. I’ve had a couple people mention they can only comment with emojis and it won’t let them leave a regular comment..Version: 3.22.7
✓ It’s awesomeGreat way to share moments with your family privately..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Best app ever!!I have never written a review for an app before. But this one deserves my support. We downloaded this app (after the suggestion by a friend) the day our daughter was born. It has been a lifesaver!! All of our family live a thousand miles away and this has allowed them to be actively involved in her life since day one! My grandmother has only gotten to meet our little one once but she feels like she has been there every day! We simply upload pictures and videos from our day each evening and the app sends an email update to our family and friends daily. My dad looks for those updates every morning! My husband and I love looking back on our calendar and seeing a picture or video of our baby girl for every day she has been in our lives. Believe me - you will have one from every day 😆. Can’t say enough good things about this app!.Version: 4.13.0
✓ Love the appSince the day our child was born, we have pretty much added a photo each day. We love sharing them with close friends and family in a private secure way. Our child often asks to look at the photos and enjoys the videos. We would 100 % recommend the app..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Brings family togetherAbsolutely amazing, secure way to share family photos with a select group of family and friends. My only complaint is that it can often crash while it’s uploading photos, after I’ve spent tome captioning each one which is really a bummer. Besides that it’s a dream!.Version: 4.6.1
✓ So thankful for this appWe have been using it for 5 years Lots to love and some to tolerate Great to share your adventures with your family/friends I love to write letters and stories to my kiddo in the private section leave hidden pics for him to find when he’s older Love the download option so you can have a hard copy saved too not just floating around in the internet Seems secure enough We love that we can share with our people easily but leave a very minimal digital foot print for our kiddo. he won’t have a ton of unwanted life photos blasted all over social media for anyone to look up when he’s older.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Hey Baby!What a lovely concept. Private sharing on what feels like social media but only with those you chose. Day by day you can watch the progress even from a distance. Photos, videos plus the ability to like and comment. What a positive and inclusive app! Well done and thank you Tinybeans. From a very appreciative Granny!.Version: 3.25.1
✓ Keeps us in touchGrandparents check in on their granddaughter everyday and brings them joy daily when they can't easily visit.Version: 3.9.18
✓ Amazing applicationSuch a clever application to keep track of your children and to capture special moments that you will have forever. And share it with those closest to you. Not to mention the app has cool tips, ideas and readings. As well as being super user friendly!! Couldn't recommend more!A+++++.Version: 3.9.15
✓ Great app.Fast and reliable way to privately share photos of that beautiful baby. Not too thrilled about the ads, but I guess they need an income flow....Version: 3.8.8
✓ A MUST GET FOR ALL PARENTS!I’ve never left a review for any app before, but Tinybeans has become such an integral part of our family and our daily routine that I just had to share. We have been using Tinybeans since the day my daughter was born and we have shared pictures and videos with our family every single day since (she’s almost 6 months old now). I’m very particular about what I put on Facebook and needed a safe place share baby pictures with family without the whole world seeing them... and Tinybeans is just that. The app is very user friendly and makes uploading both pictures and short video clips a breeze. I LOVE that the pictures are organized within a monthly calendar... I find myself looking back on old pictures almost every night and watching by little one grow by the day! Thank you Tinybeans for your most recent update which got rid of the “cards” feature and replaced it with a great “flashback” homepage. Such an improvement! If I had to make one suggestion, it would be to lower the premium package subscription costs. Even as a devoted Tinybeans user.. I cannot justify spending $7.99/mo, $50/year for this service (even if it would allow me to upload longer videos). As a new parent on a tight budget, I feel as though $3/mo is a more reasonable price for the “premium package “ that new parents could afford. All in all, Tinybeans is a MUST GET for all new parents (parents in general)! 5 stars!.Version: 4.5.1
✓ TinybeansExecento!! Bravo !.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Great app for sharing family photosThis app is great for sharing daily photos with family and friends near and far. Love the flashback features that brings up random photos from the past. Milestones are great too. My only improvement would be to be able to change the name on the friends/family you invite or add nicknames as occasionally I have friends with the same name..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Brilliant AppMy wife and I wanted to be considerate about not oversharing photos of our child to social media for various reasons. TinyBeans is the perfect platform for us to remain connected to family and friends that genuinely want to stay up to date with child photos. It’s an easy process to get family members added and the app is never trying to push me to recruit more members, unlike platforms like LinkedIn. I never feel limited by a pay wall or inundated with micro transactions. It helps us stay connected without sacrificing our privacy to the larger worlds of Facebook and Instagram. It’s a handy app for quickly accessing and showing off recent photos to people I run into without having to dig for them in my camera images, sifting past and explaining stupid memes saved to my phone. This app is all baby stuff and it’s nice to have so accessible and organized. Was happy to upgrade to premium when they ran a special, largely just to support the work of a well designed and executed app. Great work TinyBeans Team!.Version: 4.12.0
✓ Subscription only now 😧I was completely caught by surprise that after using Tinybeans for 8years!!! That I suddenly have to pay to use even the basic features. I was happy to deal with the massive ads, at times frustrating ux, limited social commentary and app slowness as I had committed to capturing my kids moments in one place & share with family members (even though can do via many other channels eg. iPhone memories, share, iCloud etc.) I appreciate apps don’t run for free but to force everyone to pay, with no option for those long term users. I would be an apps dream customer for many other reasons. the premium offer made much more sense. But to cut off free usage with not future option has really left me not wanting to proceed as I feel now trapped into your cycle of who knows what charges in future. Very disappointed with approach guys. Always recommended your app previously..Version: 5.31.0
✓ Love itWonderful way to keep in touch daily with the little ones as they grow ….Version: 5.61.0
✓ Great way to store and share memories with familyWe love Tinybeans because we can share photos of our daughter with my parents who live interstate and sister in-law who is overseas. It’s fast to upload and provide a small description. This way family is kept up to date with our daughters progress and we only have to upload and share once and wine sees it. It’s also a great way to store all those precious memories so they don’t get lost when your phone does. It isn’t sharing it with the whole world like on FB. We also love seeing the comments from family who are interacting with the content so we know it’s worth while. Thanks for making such a good app. Hope it has gone well since the share offerings..Version: 3.21.1
✓ Love the app!The app is perfect for our family as many live far away. The app is very easy to use, we love the calendar part and the albums we can make. We would love to see a guest sign in for the app so our families can see his calendar without using our sign in. Tho way they can see and like the pictures even if they don’t have an email account. But overall the app is amazing and we love using it.Version: 4.11.0
✓ Great app with even better potentialWe really love this app for keeping our family in touch and involved without having to post our babe all over social media. Some of our biggest issues are just in the format of how the images are displayed. The calendar view is helpful to find pictures based on date but they really need another view option that is gallery like how it looks on our iPhones. The calendar view is especially confusing for our older relatives using the app. I wish we could view all the photos in a gallery and would also love to be able to filter photos and videos to see all videos at once. Also, when uploading photos I wish images that have already been uploaded from your phone would be greyed out to keep from uploading duplicates by accident. Overall we really do love the app but these features would help so much.Version: 5.14.0
✓ Great private alternativeI am the one sending the updates, and I keep reading that there are very few settings to change for the recipients. I am not able to set them and the recipients can't either. I wish there were more controls, but the app is simple and easy and nobody has complained. There are few settings but I don't know about it because I just make my posts and move on. They get sent out automatically at some unknown time. I have questions like: if I edit a post the next day, do the recipients get the post again (and again and again) if I keep adding new info to it? I don't know and haven't found FAQs about it. The app is easy and clear to use. And most importantly, very quick to use. Another situation. I have a child who is dead. I set up her information about her birth because I want to include her, but the app has a tab about milestones and it asks me for updates on her - has she grown? Can she do new things? I wish I could turn those off. I really really wish I could turn those off..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love sharing with family securelyBeen using tiny beans for over 3 years now, love sharing my photos with only family and friends in a secure way. It’s also great to see the memories pop up - I know the grandparents really love getting the daily photos too. Great app!.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Best Nontraditional Social Media and so much moreI love that TinyBeans has created a private social media where I own the pictures/videos/all my content, and can download anytime. I can share special moments with my family without having to do a massive private message/sms or compromise privacy via traditional social media. I have been using TinyBeans since my son’s first year and, as a new mom, I found the easiest, safest, and least difficult way to share with my family. My Dad tells me he looks at my daily TinyBeans updates each morning as part of his routine to have a great start to his day. And I love how it keeps everyone in the loop based on how much I want to share all at the same time. And each member of my group can choose how much interaction to have. It’s a win-win-win in my life. There is also all the milestone tracking, medical tracking, articles, activities, and I’m barely scratching the surface. It’s an awesome app. It’s worth the subscription. Period..Version: 5.25.0
✓ Great app- love the email features.In an effort to escape the social media drive and creepiness I asked a friend for ideas- and she shared TinyBeans… I really do enjoy it! Pros: 1. Easy to post to the right days etc. 2. Sends emails to family members with updates. 3. Super easy to work with! 4. Ability to tag kids and pets! This is cool cause then I can look for photos of the kids with the cats etc. Cons/enhancement requests: 1. Sometimes my memory has a LOT of photos- I have 2 kids and we do a lot of fun stuff throughout the day. I would like the ability to upload more than 20 photos at a time. 2. I’d like to bulk create one blurb with a bunch of photos and be able to also do individual descriptions if possible. Like a “parent” memory with snap shots of it- such as “Disney world” - and she met Minnie Mouse! That type of ability. 3. Tagging more ppl. I’d like to be able to showcase photos w the kids AND grandma- so tagging them would be nice. Maybe allow everyone who is added to be tagged? Or just have an account or add a “person” vs child. 4. Uploading videos. This is a tricky one I know! But I’d like to do more than 1 at a time if possible! 5. It claims to tie into Chat Books - but I have yet to make that work. I have “updated” my password numerous times to no avail. So… I’m gonna guess this feature may have a bug..Version: 5.41.0
✓ Best family app ever!My Daughter and Son live in the United States, we live in Canada. This app lets all family members see the grand kids almost daily as they grow up. If you can’t see the grand kids in person this is the next best thing. Love it, wouldn’t be without it..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Great AppGreat app to share our photos with our families over seas etc.Version: 3.9.29
✓ Great app but priceyI've used this app for 6.5 years to share pictures with family and it's brilliant, but the price is steep. If I hadn't already been using it for so many years before the price increase I don't think it would be worth it. If you can afford to at least pay it up for the year so it's better value!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Build deeper connections with familyI was initially skeptical, but Tiny Beans has been an unbelievably valuable way to share photos of our little one with our family (and a few friends) all over the world. We don’t have to worry about privacy issues of other social networks, and the daily email to older family members is exactly what they need. Our parents absolutely Tiny Beans, regularly telling us that the email with new photos is the highlight of their morning. We’ve shared photos every single day for over 18 months and I doubt we’ll stop any time soon. We have a great virtual album of her development as a side benefit of all of that sharing. I designed Flickr and worked worked on it for over 5 years, so I’m picky about photo sharing apps. Tiny Beans has gotten better over the past 18 months and is easily our favorite way to share photos of our kiddo with family..Version: 5.61.0
✓ FantasticGrandmas want to see and hold their grandchildren DAILY, but when that is not possible we turn to your App. What a gift! Thank you.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love itWe absolutely love the app. I live in abroad with my children but my parents can still see them growing up through the app. Also flashbacks are great and give a nice surprise. At the same time, I’m in control who can see the pictures..Version: 4.30.1
✓ Amazing APBest ap for new moms! Love it so much that I am still using it for my kids ages 5 and 6. Great and efficient way for close friends and family to stay up to date with kids milestones! I do wish it wasn’t so expensive yearly though!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Latest update destroys useful aspects of appWhere are the pictures, everything is adverts and misdirecting links, hint to see what was labelled calendar click on memories, everything else is useless. This was a pleasant app, but now it’s mostly crap with the content you want hidden. Imagine selling ad space for Loblaws on the page..Version: 5.61.0
✓ What’s AppFantastic way to keep in touch with grandchildren at a distance....pics....vids....just wonderful. If you live at a distance and you want to keep up with your grandchildren....can’t recommend this site enough!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ ‘Have you done Tiny beans today?’ 3.5 yrs in!We love this app! My whole family uses it, since I had my first baby 3.5 years ago and we know have 4 babies in our extended family. It’s the best way to share every day with family and also to keep track of your child’s development. It’s been in our lives everyday since the beginning and planning to keep it going for years to come!.Version: 4.9.1
✓ Great app!!This was recommended to me before the birth of my first child. We were not excited about posting all our baby photos on Facebook for several reasons - we didn't want to share such personal info with acquaintances (esp during the 2016 election drama) and the other reason was because Grandpa, cousins and great grandma weren't on Facebook! All of our family being so far away, we needed a way to make them feel connected to our family. This was PERFECT. I spent my maternity leave just constantly documenting every moment for the family and now it's here forever. We love this app and highly recommend it! There is no reason to pay for use, but if you want to upload longer videos then it might be worth it. We haven't ordered any products so I don't know the quality, but it's something we have thought about..Version: 3.21.1
✓ AwesomeReally rate this app. Nice job.Version: 3.8.6
✓ I gladly pay the feeThis is where I keep all my memories with my kiddo organized and I love the flashback emails.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love this app!We absolutely love this app! We have family all over the country/world and it allows them to follow our little boys development and what he’s been up to! They love being able to share snapshots of his day and comment/like the posts! I also love the ability to track his weight, height and development progress! It’s lovely to see how he’s developing 😊 We always said we didn’t want to post our little boy on social media and this means that our friends and family don’t miss out!.Version: 4.14.0
✓ In good shapeWe’ve used this app for 7+ years. It went through a very bad, buggy period where it was almost unusable, but it has steadily gotten into better and better shape. Looking good once again..Version: 5.66.0
✓ Perfect for families near and far.I was recommended this app by our neighbor who is a veteran grandfather and not overly tech savy. He explained that it has allowed him to keep tabs on his grandkids who leave 5 states away and how easy it is for him to navigate. I downloaded it when our baby was born and immediately started using it. Tinybeans has been incredible for us living in NC and 90% of our family is in NY. We have all sorts of people and generations authorized to see the pictures and each one loves it and uses it differently. Some use just the email alert sent every night and most others use the app. Family and friends enjoy downloading what photos they want and being given the privilege to add photos when they can. I love waking up every morning and seeing the comments from some of of our family and I enjoy using the album as though our baby is posting and controlling it. I have a lot of fun posting silly comments as though he is talking, and being a tiny adult. Also, I love looking back and now that our guy is a year old I love spending time looking back at the pictures. Gets me a little choked up to see my little baby, but I love swiping from the one date to the next and watching him progress and grow. I have and will always recommend tinybeans to anyone. ☺️.Version: 4.13.0
✓ 7 years, 3 kids, daily postsThis app has changed my life. I started it days before my first daughter was born in 2016, and have posed videos and photos every day since. Before my daughter was born, I realized that I would likely be asked to send pictures and videos to grandparents and family every day (first grandchild in my husband and my family!), so I thought it made sense to post things in one place. In the 7 years since, at least seven other family and friends have created their own tiny beans accounts to post their families because they see the appeal of organized, captioned photos; connected family and friends; legacy for children to look back on. This app is more than posting photos, although it can be used just for that. For me, it has become a journal, a relationship building/sustaining tool and a time capsule. My relationship with my in-laws and my own family is far better because of this app. The app is not perfect, but it has served me and dozens of elderly relatives so well over the past 7 years. I would pay pretty much anything for this service..Version: 5.59.0
✓ Tinybeans - so niceThis is a Great app if you don’t want to go down the Facebook route (and there are many reasons not to). I really enjoy seeing daily - or nearly daily - updates of our grandson (he’s very advanced of course). The only quibble I have is that it would be good to have the posts /photos time stamped. (Was this before or after his night time bath?).Version: 3.21.1
✓ Amazing app!!I love this app so much!!! Living interstate away from family makes it so hard but this app makes it easier knowing that I can connect with them in a way that isn’t also with the whole world!! (Aka Facebook) I love sharing photos of my little one in a safe way! The grandparents are loving it too and it’s so easy to use! I was always getting messages saying I haven’t seen a photo in a while but this just makes it so easy instead of having to text everyone individually! One suggestion I have is I would love it if there was an option to reply to certain comments on the photos! :).Version: 4.4.0
✓ Fun Family Based Social MediaTinyBeans has been a wonderful way to share pictures of my child with my family, but not having to post pictures for the world to see on platforms like Facebook or Instagram. Not all pictures are made for everyone. Some photos are more personal and just for a select few people. I have heard wonderful things from the family members how use the TonyBeans app as well. It allows our family, near and far, to feel apart of his life more than only getting to see him from time to time. I personally enjoy seeing the likes and comments. The only things I would add to this app would be (1) a slideshow feature maybe based on a month that you could watch all the pictures you posted that month to see how much your child has learned and grown. (2) And I would also like to comment back on comments so people know I saw them and acknowledge some of their comments..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Great app to diarise your journey and share with familyI’ve used this app since before my son was born and it works really well. It’s easy to upload photos and videos and I like the security of a closed group. My sister added her two kids and it’s lovely for the grandparents and friends around the world to keep up with our lives through these lovely moments we share..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Best family app ever!!Keeping distant family in the loop for the little everyday things and allowing them to watch them grow and reach milestones is such a blessing and made so easy with Tinybeans. I cannot recommend it enough. It is private in a time when there is so much danger online! People can see as much or as little as you allow and only you decide who can see your journal! Definitely my most used app!! 10/10.Version: 4.6.1
✓ Very disappointing!!!When I first started using tinybeans 10 years ago it was a fun, free way to share photos of my newborn baby with family overseas. Then it was sold to an American company and suddenly we were hit with a $60 subscription. Now it is increasing to $120 less than a year later but I can’t really see any extra value for money to justify this price increase. I unfortunately won’t be renewing my subscription. Shame really, I enjoyed using this app so much! 😞.Version: 5.57.0
✓ Subscription only from 2nd OctoberReally disappointed that this is going the subscription way. I have been able to follow my granddaughter in New Zealand for the last eight years. I assume not enough people have taken up the voluntary subscription so now everyone has to pay. I know my kids won’t be posting pics of their children on platforms like Instagram or Facebook (too public). Such a shame.Version: 5.23.0
✓ Highly Recommend!This App has been fantastic for organising photos and videos of our newborn. The grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends love it and we don’t have to remember to send them pics/ videos. Everyone that is interested is kept in the loop with how he is growing and developing with no need to baby spam Facebook (= more privacy too). Longer videos that Premium allows is well worth it for the value add of helping family interstate feel connected but also keeping a chronological and backed up record of his antics. I don’t usually write reviews, but this App deserves my money for the upgrade and my time to write a glowing review. Well done TinyBeans 👍🏻😊.Version: 3.21.1
✓ Mandatory for new baby and distant familyWe have a brand new daughter and our family is spread out all over the States and this app is the perfect way to help them feel like they are a part of her life when they can't see her in person. The grandmothers love to "like" and comment, and I don't have to worry about clogging my social media with baby pictures. Though when it is time to post her monthly pic to Instagram it is super easy to go back through tiny beans and pick my favorites and see what her milestones were for the month. We were also fortunate enough to have several close friends have with little ones all born this year, and we are all on tiny beans. And while I see most of these gals weekly it is awesome to follow their little ones on the app as well. I like to go back and see what their babies were doing at the age my baby is, if that makes sense. So both as a parent and as a friend I adore this app. I am happily a premium member and I hope that it thrives for a long time so that I can always look back at these special moments..Version: 3.19.0
✓ Love thisThis is a great app that I use daily to update family about my baby; however, with the removal of premium, I’m not able to use this solely as the journal for private notes and pictures/videos. I’m having to use multiple apps to journal. Additionally, it’s a tad clunky without the use of phone/text delivery and the bed to only upload one video at a time. I also don’t like that you can’t comment as a reply or like a comment. You have to reply to all. So it really depends on how heavily you use the product given it’s easy to use for elders, but less hip for younger generations. I love it for this, but there are many opportunities to collaborate with other apps and introduce things like delayed notification, etc. All in all, this is a wonderful way to keep in touch with your loved ones. I just wish there were more levels like there used to be to monitor content and use as your sole baby journaling app..Version: 5.36.0
✓ Best app I've ever hadThis is the only app I have ever written a review for, and I didn't think twice about it because it's that good. We just had our first baby and I can't think of an easier way to share pictures, videos, and notes with only those family and friends we have chosen. What we love is that our baby girl isn't all over social media, but we also don't have to spend our time sending pics or videos to people individually, or writing an email, etc. It takes no time at all to post something on the app and then we can go right back to snuggling the little one. Our family and friends also love it because they can choose how often they want to go on to view what we've posted and similarity aren't bombarded with emails or texts that they feel the need to respond to. And lastly, it's already been great for us to look back on earlier pictures, and I know this online journal is something we will treasure for years!.Version: 3.13.0
✓ Great for international familyWe love this app for putting photos of kids as both of our set of parents don’t live close and 1 set in another country. They can see the pictures without us having to post on social media. Love the calendar feature of this so in years to come can show them what they did on that day..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Well thought out app for sharing special moments with familyThis app is really well thought out and the free offerings are brilliant. I was looking for a way to share photos and video clips with family and friends without overloading Facebook and Instagram. What a fantastic find it was! The features are great and a wonderful way to track your special moments. All my family and friends love checking in to see how our first son is doing, and truth be told I’m a bit addicted to updating photos! Top marks to the developers. Only small criticism is the fairly pricy paid version - £7.99/month is more than I would spend, however I appreciate they need to make money for such a fully fledged app. If it was £1.99 a month I’d probably sign up. All the same, the free version is great so thank you! Edit: Thanks for the reply! Since writing the review I thought of a simple way to improve the app; in the notifications tab you currently need to click through to each photo to see the full comments. It would be great if you could feature the whole comments in the notification tab so it isn’t necessary to click back and forth through all the photos to see what people have written. Also it might be nice to have the option to reply/like people’s comments. Cheers!.Version: 3.20.2
✓ Faraway FamilyOur only grandchildren live in another country! Tinybeans is our lifeline!!! We look forward to it every day! It’s how we stay connected! Thank you for this wonderful App!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Grandchildren and great grandchildrenThe fam live in USA and we are in NZ. Great grandpa is in uk. Tinybeans is a daily joy to keep us in touch with the growing kiddos. Thank you sooooo much!😃👍.Version: 3.25.1
✓ Must have if you have kids!Been using it since 2020 when my first kid was born, love it! I have a lot of family and friends across the world and they love watching my kids grow up with this app. I like that the pics are owned by me and I can avoid putting pics of my kids/family on social media but can privately share my life with my network. I printed photo albums by year through the company as well, high quality. All in all, if you’re thinking about it, do it!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ My favourite appWe love using Tinybeans to share daily photos and videos of our kids with our relatives. The calendar is a great way to scroll back and see how much they’ve grown. Notification options are perfect for different friends and family, and search helps you track down that hilarious photo from 2-3 years ago. Great design, great product - keep up the good work!.Version: 4.23.0
✓ Love itWas looking for a way to keep family up-to-date with baby photos. We live overseas in Australia and the grandparents live in the States. They don’t have Facebook and didn’t want to sign up. Tiny Beans is truly a joy for our family!! The grandparents eagerly await their daily photo and/or video. It’s been so much fun! We also love the “flashbacks” as reminders of how quickly our kids are growing..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love this appVery easy to use and the entire family can keep up with what is happening with the little ones :).Version: 3.7.5
✓ It just keeps goingWith family spread all over the world I didn’t know how we would keep people posted on our littles ones birth and development. Who has time to email that many people all the time. We didn’t want to use other, more open platforms or hinder our elder tech-struggling family members. I thought after the first year we probably would slow down if not stop uploading pictures. Turns out we keep posting. Family and friends near and far love their daily dose of Tinybeans with their morning coffee. I hear it every time I’m on the phone with someone in our loop. They feel so much more connected to us this way since we can’t always be visiting. And now with an international move and covid lockdowns, our family can still keep up with us. It’s really been a great tool for us. We Love the app and seeing the flashbacks you can jump to makes us smile. It’s been over four years now with TinyBeans and we are just so thankful for the connection they have provided..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Watch me grow!We would have missed watching two very special people grow and play, their changing faces and expressions, their new experiences and challenges if it weren’t for Tinybeans! Australia is a long way away but brought much closer with all the photos we receive through Tinybeans..Version: 4.8.2
✓ Annoying notificationsI like the app except you can’t stop it telling you to update things one a day..Version: 4.9.3
✓ Grand ChildTinybeans has been a wonderful way for me to follow the growth and adventures of my grandson. Each morning I look forward to a new picture and have all his pictures in one easy to look up spot..Version: 5.61.0
✓ The joy of my life.Tiny Beans has been the joy of my life. I’m 92 and have four great grandchildren. I have followed them from birth and laughed and cried and enjoyed seeing them grow daily. The first thing I do morning and night is check my Tiny Beans. Many thanks for this light in my life! 🙏.Version: 5.60.0
✓ Brilliant.Love Tinybeans. Still doing at the 2.5yr point. Ideal for keeping distant family connected; ideal for ageing family to keep included and best of all. Makes me take photos everyday of not just the big things but the everyday wonderful ordinary. Brilliant..Version: 4.7.0
✓ Love itAmazing way to keep family up to date with progress of babies..Version: 5.53.0
✓ Lots of good partsWe used LifeCake for years and loved it, but switched to TinyBeans when it was discontinued. So far, we like TinyBeans a lot. It's easy to upload photos and the calendar is cool. The number one thing we (my husband and I, plus several people who view our family photos) miss from LifeCake is the photo stream/timeline. Please add this feature! There was a tab where all the photos you upload were visible in chronological order with no folders- just one long stream. There was a slider on the right side of the screen you could use to skip to a certain date. It was a great way to look back and find a specific photo if you knew roughly when it was taken but not the exact date. (the calendar feature is awesome if you know the exact date, but if not, you have to click through all the photos on multiple days which is cumbersome). Seriously, it was so great. It was really the only way I ever looked at photos. Please try to add something similar? Please?.Version: 4.31.0
✓ Family connectedness with email overloadLove being able to see the kids and grandkids even when far away. Just fabulous! A lot of promotion related emails. I’m sure there’s a way to turn them off and still get the emails when family post new photos, but for a technophobe like me I’m not sure how to do that. Maybe give it to a young child.... they’ll likely have it sorted in seconds!!.Version: 4.11.0
✓ Best app ever!Our closest family member lives 30 minutes away and the furthest 30 hours plane trip. This app has allowed us to keep everyone together through a wonderful journey of photos and memories. The twins will also have THE BEST photo album of all times. The app is easy to use and it only takes minutes to create something truly amazing. Perfect for busy parents. I said I'd update the twins album for one year...13 months in and I'm still going strong!.Version: 3.12.0
✓ Amazing!This app is great! There are a few details that take some trial & error to get right, but it's minimal. With TinyBeans I can give people private access & don't have to worry about things like Facebook with its shady privacy policies. I can keep my baby's face off Facebook & all my photos private! It's also great for extended family who are spread around the world to get updates with minimal effort on my part (no individual emails, etc.), as a new mom who is single, that is golden! My family and friends love the updates & some have told me it's the highlight of their day - i say that's awesome!!! I have also had amazing, fast, polite & effective help from the app creators to fix a glitch. Thanks guys - you are great! I highly, highly recommend this app to every parent!.Version: 5.61.0
✓ So great for photo journaling, finding photos, and sharing with family!Update in July 2023: a feature I’ve longed for has been added—the ability to search for photos by caption. There is no better way to save photos and share with close family and friends. Original review: We were introduced to this app by my in laws who used it when my nephews were born (now eight years ago). We loved watching our nephews grow from afar and get a sense of what they were up to day to day. When our daughter arrived three years ago, we knew we wanted to use the same app and had no trouble updating our acct so we could continue to follow our nephews while posting about our daughter (the grandparents also have no trouble following the accts of the cousins). It’s an easy way to share updates with family around the world without using social media and without flooding group text chains. I love seeing the flashbacks and reminders of what we were doing. [NOW OBSOLETE: I wish there was a way to back up the photos with the captions and a way to search photos by caption or description; right now you have to kind of remember the timeframe and scroll to the right place…three years and probably thousands of photos in, this isn’t the most efficient way to ID old favorites.] But I still love the app and it works well for at prime purposes, ie photo journaling and sharing..Version: 5.61.0
✓ Love Tinybeans !! 3yo non stopI think we you leave far from your family there is nothing better than Tinybeans! We have been using it for 3 years and we love it and our family contact us when we don’t post update for a week and complain about it! It’s making our family part of our life even when we are far away! Definitely recommend it!.Version: 4.31.0
✓ Tiny beansEveryday I check our tiny beans to see what my family has been doing. Especially love it when they are away on holidays..Version: 5.61.0
✓ The best ever daily record!I have been using this ap for every day of my children’s life uploading at least one picture or video a day ( and my daughter turned 6 yesterday)! It is a fabulous record of their lives and it helps our family from all around the world see our children daily and keep up with them growing! I love the flashbacks that they give from day to day from years ago on the same day. We also get to be Tiny bean receivers to watch our niece and friend’s children growing on the other side of the world!.Version: 4.28.0
✓ Perfect AppLove sharing photos with my loved ones and going back to see memories.Version: 5.61.0
✓ A fantastic app to share moments with family and friendsI love this app. It’s a wonderful alternative to facebook and instagram. Ideal as you choose a small or large number of family and friends to share moments with. Very easy interface and has been a wonderful way for relatives at home and abroad to stay in touch with our son even when they are not able to be at his side..Version: 4.7.5
✓ Could not love it moreHave been using Tiny Beans for 2+ years now and recommend it to everyone with kids. Easy way for family and friends near and far to keep up to date, without feeling like you’re spamming everyone you know on social media, or forgetting who you’ve already sent stuff to directly. Added bonus is being able to reminisce through the calendar ourselves rather than scrolling through thousands of photos on our phones..Version: 4.14.0
✓ Thank you Tinybeans!!I love Tinybeans!! I have been using it for almost 4 years, it makes is so easy to find memories and to print yearly photo books. It also means you have all your favourite photos and videos in one place incl comments if you choose to write some. It also means you will never loose your photos. Sometimes I’m two weeks behind on downloading photos but it’s very easy to catch up. I love going through the photos and memories every now and then!.Version: 3.26.0
✓ Good Direction, Imprecise ExecutionWe have been using Tiny Beans as a family for over three years and have appreciated many aspects of the app. Though it’s been a little buggy here-and-there, overall it’s met our expectations. With regards to the recent update that the app went through I can tell I’m going to like the changes to the platform, however at this time it’s a buggy mess. Uploaded photos are duplicated at random; the system doesn’t register a “Like” that someone gives a photo; some comments are posted while others never are; while scrolling a photo feed some pictures are compressed and cannot be fully viewed unless clicked on while other photos do not exhibit this technical hiccup. Again, I like that the recent update has arrived with some UI aesthetic changes and some more functionality, but the app is basically useless now in terms of user interaction. All we can do now is upload pictures/videos. Please fix these bugs..Version: 5.37.0
✓ Was great, needs fixHave a lifetime subscription and love it but the latest version is crashing on launch on iOS 15.4.1 on our iPhone X and 8. Hope this is resolved soon so the extended fam can get their fix of the kids! Only other thing I’d change about the app is that the Chat Books integration makes all photos square, even if they are not (an issue at the tiny beans end according to Chat Books support). This forces us to download the photos and manually upload instead :/.Version: 5.36.0
✓ Love Tinybeans!!I felt very uncomfortable with the idea of photos and videos of my baby going on social media platforms and being shared with too broad of a network... friends of friends of friends... my concern was how quickly it snowballs and you can’t get things back. It’s my own personal feeling but I feel need to protect his privacy in a world that has grown comfortable sharing everything. At the same time I did want a way that I could share photos and videos of my baby with a smaller selected group of close family... when a friend told me about Tinybeans at my baby shower I knew it was right for what I needed. And I have LOVED it - we share pictures and photos with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and his great grandfather - it’s user friendly for everyone and the control stays with us. It’s also so organized which is great. I also like that I can track other milestones in Tinybeans - I usually forget but it’s nice to have the option. Having the daily photos helps me jog my memory when I try to fill in his baby book too. We just have the basic and I don’t mind the ads. Love it!.Version: 4.13.1
✓ So easy!Love this app. Been using it for over a year now and my sister just joined with her new little one! The family loves it! I just wish there was a reply option to the comments. I never know if my in laws know I’ve responded! Lol love this app.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Highly recommendMy son got this app when his first child came along it’s fantastic we get a few photos every day we have added all the grandchildren and all the relevant family members can sign in and see all the memories being made. Have already got a few more family friends to get it for there grandchildren. It’s wonderful everyday to see a picture of your loved ones.Version: 3.22.7
✓ A-ma-zingSeriously the best app I have! We have a 3 week old baby and tinybeans is the BEST way to share photos and videos with our friends and family near and far! Definitely beats plastering photos all over social media! I've been raving about the app to everyone who will listen! It's proved very popular with lots of my pregnant friends and new mums! My family LOVE seeing updates pics of our little one and it's so great to have a day by day gallery of photos! Highly recommended - infact I can't rate tinybeans and higher! 😃.Version: 3.6.15
✓ Good but was greatPlease bring back the little editing tools like adding emojis and smoky frames and black and white photos and drawing tools we miss them! Other than that pretty good 👍.Version: 4.30.0
✓ Very convenient for grandparentsThe app is very convenient for families spread across different countries and time zones and it’s really nice for grandparents.Version: 5.61.0
✓ Absent grandmotherWith my first grandson in Australia while I am in London, it is so lovely to have daily photos of him to see his development. We FaceTime every week but it still makes a difference to have his photos to show my friends and family.Version: 3.26.1
✓ Love this appTinybeans is a great app. It is super convenient, more private way to record and share all those wonderful moments with our little one. It is such a great record for us to have..Version: 3.6.9
✓ A must have!Such an easy and stress free way to share photos and videos with our family! Especially for the family on the other side of the world who likes lots of updates..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Great features but not as simple as othersI like the growth charts, different folders for different kids and being able to title the pictures. The only thing that lets it down is the viewing interface isn’t that simple and the calendar always starts from last year, I feel like it should open on today then scroll back if you want to. Please fix this!.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Such a cool app!This app is so easy to use and makes sharing memories with family a breeze - especially if people aren't on social media and/or you want to keep your baby off socials..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Pretty goodLove this app but it’s annoying that you have to receive notifications for all journals. My siblings all have tinybeans for their kids so I get in excess of 100 notifications a day from their partner’ families - some whom I’ve never even met, simply because I subscribe to their journal. You should be able to choose notifications on/off per journal - particularly when this is now a paid service.Version: 5.26.1
✓ MrsIt's great to keep in touch with photo updates of a friends baby who lives overseas. Only down sight is you have to scroll down through all the comments/loves from everyone else. Should just show this to the person who's baby it is..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Download ASAP!!After nearly 6 years of using this app, I thought I needed to finally review it! Beautifully designed, you upload your photos (I do it daily) and they are displayed to you in a calendar view. To enter the days, you simply press the thumbnail, and all photos you added on that day will be brought up. Friends and family that you have selected, will get sent an email, daily in our case, with photos you have uploaded. This is a godsend - no more getting in trouble when one of the grandparents finds out the other grandparents got sent a photo and they didn’t! They can also access the app and view in calendar view as us, the owners, do. There’s options to add your children’s milestones and track their development which is a nice touch! Word of warning, once you have a few pictures uploaded (years in our case), thanks to the “Flashback” section in the app, you may find yourself spending hours (yes, hours) looking back on your darling children when they were much much younger - my husband and I have spent many hours looking back on the photos and videos. It’s a really lovely touch and reminds you of some memories which may have slipped your mind. We love this app, and I can imagine I’ll still be uploading photos of our kids for many years to come!!.Version: 4.31.0
