Timehop - Memories Then & Now for Pc

I'm sorry team, I know you are excited and you wanted to ship, but I don't think any users were asking for this update. At least not enough to outweigh the fact that many of the features that your users like and consider an important part of the app, are missing now. I know you'll be adding back some later, but as of right now it's frustrating that I can't do things I used to be able to, all for a design update that I honestly don't consider an upgrade. I don't care how hip my tweets look or that my photos are now in frames. I can't access my original tweets any longer or click on the links within them. I can't really scroll past large photo sets, or easily past whole years like I used to be able to. You put design over function and now your users are upset and potentially permanently lost. I know I'll keep using for a little while because I'm addicted to myself, but that won't last forever if every time I try to use the app, the features that I got the most utility out of aren't there, and the experience is negative each time instead. Did you survey your users about what mattered most to them? Did you look at metrics on what features were most used? Did you do any user testing with actual loyal users? Maybe you did all of this, but for someone who got this update out of the blue, I am both not happy and am passionate enough to write this, but how much I care for your app won't last long. --user since it was just a daily email back in 2012.

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.

I downloaded this app recently suggested by my boyfriend and I felt it was an awesome and fun app to check the memo everyday. But I also noticed, me and I think for many other people in today, we are so used to just taking a picture for everything not only for something we really want to save, like just taking a pic for memorize something or sharing with friends in social app, but we are so lazy to revisit the pics in photos and remove them. So it ends up with we have many pics that we actually don’t want to keep. I’m just wondering will it be nice to let the app have the functionality like a delete button for the picture, and the picture will be deleted from the photos app (the cellphone itself) too once use presses the delete button. That would be so convincing for users and which at least will even encourage me to use the app everyday to not only reviewing the pics but also as a chance to keep our album clean :D

I use this app every day, I loved the concept from the beginning. Still like the old format better, but used to the current one now so it’s been fine. However, whoever is responsible for making/editing the retrovideos needs help. I’ve seen at least 3 mistakes in the past 10 days.. one video said Edward Scissorhands came out “10 years ago” right under where it said it came out in 1989 (it was actually released in 1990, which the speaker said in the video, so a little confused as to where 1989 came from). And today for A Series of Unfortunate Events, the description has it written as “Beaudelaire” children (it’s spelled Baudelaire). Yeah these mistakes aren’t a big deal and don’t affect my use of the app, it just comes off as pretty careless on this app’s part since these are basic things that should be checked before submitting. Just bringing that to your attention, otherwise thanks for all the memories!
