Love it, best of all the family sharing apps but one suggestion
I spent several hours trying a bunch of different types of these family sharing apps when our girl was born and this is the one I settled on. Although it has a cap of 3 min on videos (biggest con), it checks every other box better than all the competitors. I also love the “partner only” option, for those adorable pics that perhaps shouldn’t be circulated too widely. We’ve all been using it for four months and it’s excellent. My one suggestion (for now): When uploading pictures, i should be able to look at different folders within the photo app on my phone. For example, I often take 10 pics at a time and then favorite the one that is best. Then when I go to upload, I should be able to go to my “favorites” folder and select from there. As of now, all I can do is see my whole camera roll, which means that I have to curate the photos all over again. This should be an easy fix. Apps like Instagram have this feature.

Great app!
I’m loving this app so far. I love how it makes videos every few months that highlight certain pictures. I personally like that it doesn’t have the typical social media feel since I downloaded this app to get away from social media. It’s wonderful to not worry about which family members have been sent a picture or not, it’s all right there! I wish the pictures would stay where the are are not rotate through every time you open the app. Would also be nice to choose your own photo that stays at the top of the month. I don’t find it frustrating finding which pictures to upload since I don’t wait to load a bunch at one time. I like how you can see the relationship to the people who are commenting. Would be nice to have other family titles instead of “other”. Overall a great app and I’m super happy with it! I hope it stays away from social media feel because I love how it is now.

Easy to use
I love the layout of this app!! I tried out a few apps like this, but Family Album is by far the best. The uploads are quick, the format is so easy to use, and my family loves commenting on the pictures. This app is so cute!!! I’ve only thought about one thing I would change... I use this app for my side of the family, but my husband and I want to be able to share it with his side as well. Since our sides of the family are drastically different, we don’t want to add members of both sides, because no one would comment or there might be competition between the grandmas... I wish there was a way to have the same pictures and videos shared with specific groups of people, to where they can’t see each other’s comments. This might be a weird request, but for families who have contrasting personalities between in-laws, this would be very helpful!
