Precious is super mediocre and the pricing is absurd. It’s really great for the first 3-4 months of your child’s life. After that it started mixing up photos, choosing really odd frames and borders to associate with my child’s pics and often times selecting a pic that apparently isn’t on the phone any longer so it’s just blank....uhhh how does that happen? The time lapse function was amazing for the first few months, but after that it takes an insane amount of time to load and includes tons of pics that have been deleted (meaning it’s just a white screen in Precious ). It often selects a cute border or frame that says something that makes no sense with the photo. I would also say that after almost 2 years of ownership (I purchased annual plan and forgot to turn off auto renew before end of first year) Precious has gotten worse and not better at sending me usable, cute pics. Instead they are often blank and the captions make no sense for what is in the pic. The only use for Precious is if you want to spend a lot of time tapping through the various (and somewhat weak) editing functions. But if you really want to edit pics just buy a photo editing app. Highly advise you against spending money on Precious as you will eventually come to despise it...even if you enjoy it for the first few months of your kids life.

Overall Precious is ok. The stickers and the auto picture generation of your baby are good and funny. But there are too many glitches. Missing tabs so once you reach support the are quit to respond and provide great customer service, but there’s always something else that breaks when they are fixing one issue. My baby is 10 months today and Precious is showing all the pictures, stickers and information from 6 months. Too many glitches for an app that you have to pay to use.

Constantly, you have to update your baby picture so it scans better. However, it keeps posting old pictures and do not match the frame. A picture can be taken on the snow and the frame will pop up as first day at the beach.

I will save my money on the long run. Maybe try it out for the first few months. After that it’s not worth the hassle.

Really liked the free version of Precious. Had it for over a year. Didn’t mind the watermarks since I only used it to look back with my husband. I logged in recently to find that my “free trial period” was up and I only had limited access now compared to a few weeks ago when I last looked. I had no warning that they were changing the policy so I think that’s BS but I get why if they want to make more money. But 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I would of liked a warning. 4.99 isn’t too bad a month for what they do but maybe not right now during a pandemic. The free version I used to have was great for what I used it for if you want cute pictures to use without a watermark the paid version would prob be good for you. But watch out they change without warning

by Dc Beatz

I really love Precious because it compresses all your babies photos each month the only thing I don’t like is that the months are off by one month so it is say Jackson’s seventh month but he’s already eight months so like all the photos from when it says seven months really from six months if that makes sense I really wish you guys can update that feature Another thing I hate is that it’s supposed to be based off of his face however it throw in pictures of my other kids or random pictures of me or my friends and it supposed to go on face recognition for the baby I really wish that can be updated as well other than that I love Precious and how it makes the videos I don’t like that it has the same frames like every other day so there’s nothing new being created it’s always the same thing over and over each month or each day because it sends a notification every day other than that it’s a great app to have to cherish memories

I really wanted to I really wanted to like Precious
But it’s really annoying now it scans the wrong faces into the pics and I’m paying for this mess up it still chooses old photos instead of the newer one I’m canceling my subscription

by Ladykazz

I loved Precious at first but after I paid for the subscription I started to notice a lot of the cute frames and backgrounds that were there during the free trial were no longer there. After a couple of months there wasn’t new frames or backgrounds. Started to lose the excitement I originally had. Then it started grandma in the dad pics and vise versa. I could live with that but once I lost my phone and downloaded Precious on my new phone and after paying for several months none of my projects or photos transferred. I figured if Snapchat saves all your photos for free the least Precious could do is save your already completed projects. After all, you do pay for it. I had some really cool projects started And finished only to lose them all. Needless to say I canceled my subscription.

All that is showing up is pictures of my son at 5 months old. He is almost 15 months now. I would like to be able to go into the daily collages and be able to actually share them and have them up to date. I’m very disappointed I pay money for Precious. Please fix the issue and I’ll change my rating.

The pictures are starting to get a tad bit more current, the pictures are not even being put in anymore. They constantly say photo no longer available. Please work on Precious and do some updates. Until then my rating stays the same.

Update: I’m enjoying the upgrades so I will raise my review one star. That being said you still have some major flaws in Precious that I am paying for. To collage option is very nice but when I complete one all of a sudden my photos say they are no longer on my phone. Then when I change out those photos the photos that were available before no longer are registered. It does this with the daily photos too. Please fix this it’s very frustrating to take the time to make a collage and then my photos not register.

Precious is rep cute don’t get me wrong and I love how it grabs new photos and puts them into templates to review. My issue though is the templates…. When I went to go make prints I notice all are square…. This makes it very hard to do different size photos even if it’s just adding a background and words they are still square so forget making like a 5x7 or 8x10 as it crops what you designed. Another flaw with the templates is very similar size wise. Would love it if you can adjust the size the spot the photo goes into like increase top or bottom or sides. You also can’t change the wording in templates. Like the template but sometimes I would rather change the predefined phrase it comes with. This reason for 3 stars is the templates have those big flaws in my mind.

It has cute features and cute stickers but it’s not something I would continue paying for. I think $5 a month is a little steep for a mediocre app. I opened it today and the pictures it has are from 2 weeks ago, my baby is 6 weeks old so that’s a big difference at this point. The one month slideshow was cute but the pictures chosen were spread out in age and not even to the full 1 month, it also chose multiple pictures from the same day instead of one every few days. I ended up editing the whole slideshow myself for it to be accurate. To have Precious for a year, it would cost $60, that’s high just to be able to add cute stickers/frames to your baby’s pictures. Not worth it in my opinion and I’m not a cheapskate either.

I have two under two. Oldest just turned two and Precious hasn’t worked :( for me. It tends to crash from time to time for days/weeks? at a time and I have paid for this but again like I said it’s a love hate relationship. I love it and wanted my little memories. I have used this for my first and now for my second that is now 8 months old. I try and switch between the two little ones and Precious does it’s best to face recognize each for their profiles but i still have a lot of cleaning up to do, which I don’t mind because i do really love Precious and what it’s trying to do. All the daily pictures are a adorable and i look forward to each update. Let’s all hope this gets up and running because it has great potential:)

What I love most about Precious, is that these photos and frames come to YOU! You don’t have to spend the time (as much time) like other apps where you have to pick & choose the photo, then the frame and so on. The ideas and creativity are wonderful! And the slideshows are the absolute BEST!! What I would definitely recommend fixing is the selection of photos Precious chooses to include in the monthly collages or even the photo frames. Sometimes I feel like Precious chooses the worst shots of a certain photo. Or even the collages have multiple shots of the same photo, and they’re all bad. Luckily, you are able to “swap” the photos out to choose the ones you like most. However, since the first time I’ve used Precious until now, it has crashed several times! :( Great ideas, like I said. But it needs bug fixes as well as new frames as they begin to repeat themselves.

Thank you!!

I am new to Precious but I’m loving how easy they make it to bring my pictures to life. I’m busy with a newborn and Precious makes it easy to do. I see all these super moms posting fancy pictures but I’ve been so tired from my surgery and adjusting to a new baby. Precious makes it a lot more possible. The frames are adorable and the stickers are cool too. Daily keepsakes are unique And will help make the new memories stay intact. Thank you developers for Precious. I love it. I wish the trial was longer than 3 days. I only get a few minutes a day to myself and i could use a few more days to get used to this.

by CorriShay

Honestly, I planned on just using the free trial and cancelling. But Precious just blew me away!! There are so many cute things it can do! But even better it automatically puts things together each day for you. So like me being a new Mom and so busy that some days I can’t even find my head let alone put anything together for the milestones. Precious automatically does it for you. If you’re debating on getting it just do the free trial and decide for yourself. You can always cancel before paying for it. But if you’re like me, you’ll love it! And it will be worth it!

This is a really awesome app especially if you are like me, in that you love taking and editing photos and videos. This give you access to backdrops that look professional without spending a fortune. I have over 5,000 pics alone on my phone and with the photo scanner it still was able to scan and separate the ones of my baby girl so I didn’t have non related photos popping up in one of the videos or being used on a new backdrop or frame.

I love Precious with keeping track of my newborns photos and editing them. I love the fact that the stickers and options to decorate the photos are very up to date with what’s in style. Like all apps there is always glitches and things but i don’t mind paying the monthly subscription for what Precious offers. The improvement I’d suggest is to fix Precious so it does not close out in the middle of editing a photo. This has happened a few times and also it does not accurately count how old the baby is by weeks instead it counts her first week of birth as 1 week and when she is actually one week old it counts that as second week.

My granddaughter was born 3 months early and she has been in the nicu for little over 6 weeks now and only get to see her for a very short time , and we get take a few snaps shots of her while we are there and they are so this app but extra extra amazing because of your app ! Your app is so awesome bc the choices and neat things you can do with a snap shot of a little tiny preemie that hasn’t seen the outside of the hospital yet ! Even when we do get out of nicu we will have the amazing tools to do pictures we may not get the opportunity to do with the props and great backgrounds and setups !i so wish this was available when my kids was babies !

I absolutely love the this app app! It’s so easy to keep up with milestones and memories. I love getting notifications daily of pre-made photos of my little ones that I can simply save to my phone or make quick changes to and save. My favorite part is the monthly milestones. Every month I get a slideshow of my child’s month and a photo of about 11 photos of my child for that month. It’s incredibly easy to get a snapshot of their month. I always save the photo and post it on social media with a quick summary of my child’s month. They make my job sooooo easy with keeping up worth milestone photos. This is by far the best photo app I have for my infants’ photos and I would recommend it 100% to all parents of newborns.

If there was another name for Precious this app it would be Joy! I have a 7 week old baby (my first) and it’s so important to me to capture, share and save all the memories and milestones especially during the first year. Every day I look forward to the new frames and artwork for the photos I took from the day before! I am still trying to figure out how Precious seems to just know how to put the right picture in the right frame, but I also love how you can easily change out and crop the photos. My parents live far away and when I send them her photos with the adorable frames it makes them so happy and that distance more bearable! In sum Precious is a Joy to use and a must if you have a new baby and take lots of photos on your phone!

This is such an amazing application, and talk about intuitive! Precious takes your photos based on the date saved/captured and dates them! Though it’s main purpose is to add cute/ witty/ funny/ beautiful/ creative borders to your little one’s photos, it also dated them! For example: I have taken a picture of my little one on the day she was born. The this app app then takes that photo and intuitively states she is a day old AND places a border around it that says “Welcome to the world”. The other part or Precious that makes a difference is the ability to edit/ swap/ and crop photos within the different border options. Lastly, everyday, the this app app offers different borders coupled with your photos to create a variety of options right at your finger tips!! Thank you this app!!

I love Precious! I only wish I had discovered it when my grandsons were first born. The templates are creative and so adorable, but are best used with photos of babies, rather than older children. The cutout feature is amazing....remarkably accurate. All the work is done for you. You only choose your template and the cutout and let the magic happen! Have hours of fun with the props and photo embellishments. Program Precious for specific children, include their birthdate, and Precious will construct videos and ready made scrapbook-ready photos of them. Very reasonably priced and you can cancel any time. Kudos to the developers!

by Ncaserta

Hate writing a review like this about something I was once so excited about but here’s my story: I paid for Precious originally because I thought it was so darling! Well, the pictures I got each day were extremely inaccurate - most of the time, not even of my child (& yes I did send their parents the cute picture, anyways and most downloaded Precious for their device) so I gave it a couple more weeks, and I started not even being excited to open Precious any more for my 9am daily pictures. It’s a bummer because it was a really cute idea and concept!!!!! Bummed out this didn’t work out for me. If I had pictures of only my one small child in my phone, and nobody else including adults - it would’ve worked perfectly - unfortunately... yaaaaahhhh

Thanks for reading! Xxox

I am blessed to be able to spend time with my only grandson so of course I take pictures everyday. I love Precious because every week it will took the pictures that I have taken and puts it in a slide show and shows how old he is. The boarders they put around the pictures are adorable as well. There is only two points to Precious I wish they would correct. One is that they seem to use some of the pictures multiple times and instead of putting just my grandson in the boarders it puts every child’s picture I have taken into the boarders. Which is no big problem you can edit any picture.

by Mrs. Vitelli

I really love Precious and it really is the best “baby pic” app I’ve seen, bar none! What I don’t like about it is the idea of paying 60 bucks or 40 bucks for it. If it’s a monthly thing of 4.99 like it says then I guess I don’t mind but I get paranoid they’ll take it as a lump sum from my account if/when I don’t cancel my subscription before the trial runs out. I will keep you posted but honestly, I can’t believe Precious! I wish I had this from the time my little one was newborn. She is almost 9 months now! Happy I found it though!

by Krystinmarie7

I love this solely on the fact that it sorts them by date FOR ME. I have another great app that I liked but I would have to add the pictures myself and add my own date so I’d have to go all the way back to my camera roll on my phone and see what the date was and then go back to Precious and add it to that date. And that is just way too much work. Precious automatically adds it to the day that I I took it and makes my life so much easier and actually makes me able to enjoy taking pictures and sorting them and what not. :)

I just have to write a review. This is the best app of its kind. I’ve downloaded many . It make the most beautiful keepsakes on it own. You can alter them if you want. It also makes little video and collages for periods in yours/your babies life.

My only problem is that although tot let’s me add another child. It gets confused and puts some of my sons picture in my daughter profile. She is 12. My son is 4 months. I’ve deleted them in the profile . Maybe it’s because they looked so much alike as babies . Regardless, still the best of its kid and one of my favorite
