Take the autoplay off the videos.
Edited! Thanks for the fix! 😘 I’m checking this app and the first thing I’m greeted with when I open the app is a blaring ad. Obnoxiously loud and NO WAY TO MUTE IT. The only solution is to close the app, open it back up, and then scroll through as quickly as possible before the video loads, which is counterproductive to the purpose of the app (enjoying my memories.) Many an article on advertising best practices will tell you that most users find autoplaying videos intrusive and offensive. Default the sound to muted (like Facebook does) with an option to play the sound if a user chooses. Some people check their this app in waiting rooms, at work, during a commute or other places where sudden loud noise from their device is extremely embarrassing at best.

Thank You Timehop.
October 2017: Thank you soooo much for finally bringing back Swarm check ins!!! You’re back to 5 stars for me! May 2017: I just would like to know if swarm/foursquare updates are EVER coming back?? You want me to tap; fine I will. You don't want to show the day of the week; fine. You insist I see practically 1 ad per picture; fine! You want to highlight my text from FB (which is so stupid, but whatever); fine! But my favorite part of this app was seeing places I visited and where I traveled to!! You removed that!! I may not have always taken a picture to remind me. If this isn't coming back, I'd like to know because I will finally give up hope on this app. March 2017: I lost my streak a couple weeks ago when you didn't bring back scrolling & Swarm/Foursquare checkin's. And your latest update STILL doesn't include that. I can use Facebook for the rest of my memories & wont see the stupid ads either. I don't need you anymore. January 2017: PLEASE, bring back the old Swarm/ Foursquare check ins!!!!!! Besides seeing photos, one of my favorite things this app did was being able to see where I went years ago! If I wanted Snapchat I would be using Snapchat. Please GO BACK!

I check this app every day
I check this app every day and I’m now up to over 400 in a row. Just part of my OCD I guess. But enough about me. I really enjoy this app because it takes me back to what was important to me three or four or even more years ago as opposed to now. I also enjoy seeing the pictures I took in the past. Sometimes I’ve lost track of them and it’s good to get a chance to save them again. One criticism I have is that I sometimes come across misspelled words and incorrect dates in your retro videos. I realize you like to sound young and hip, and probably only hire young people for that reason, but it might be good to hire a few people over 40 as proofreaders. Other than that I love the app.
