Turner0327,
So far I’m loving this app
I have grown tiresome of social media. And since my first child was born in 2015, I have been posting every baby memory on my social media. I wanted to delete all social media but I couldn’t because all my memories were there. So I started searching for something that could help me get everything organized and safe! Enter, TinyBeans! It has been very easy to navigate. I usually go to my social media page and search through my timeline. When I see a memory I copy it, check the date, and go input it into my TinyBeans app. I love that you can adjust the date yourself for older memories you forgot to put in. All of my children’s memories are now organized and safely saved. And I love that I can also share with family, especially those who don’t have social media.
I do wish for some adjustments though. I wish that family could add to the calendar as well. My kids grandparents take lots of photos of them and I would love for them to go in and add them in. And if that is possible, maybe have a “share with parents only, or share with everyone” option. That way not everyone can see those memories? Not sure if that makes sense but my kids grandparents fight and I’d rather them not see each other’s photos 😅 but would still like for them to be all added. I also wish there was a newsfeed page option where you can just see new things added vs a calendar look. That way you can be updated on what is new. Other than that, it’s a great app and I highly recommend it

MindfulMunching,
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.

Jimram,
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!
King's Victory,
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!

2020RT,
Very pleased but questions about daily emails
I 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!

Maggs36,
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!
AshlitaMuchamas,
Pay to use update broke some features
I love Tinybeans conceptually. Privately sharing photos with family and friends is awesome. I already had a paid subscription (for longer videos) prior to the business model changing, so wasn’t really bothered when they announced the shift to paid usage.
That update really broke the apps functionality, though. Uploading photos takes significantly longer and the app becomes unstable and will sometimes crash while uploading. There are no notifications anymore; if they DO show up, it’s only after manually checking for them - then the badge will appear within the app. For a while, uploads processed out of order and uploading randomly, though that seems to have been resolved.
Switching to a premium model should have allowed for more, enhanced features for customers, not breaking existing features for… what, advertising? Why am I seeing so many ads in a paid app? Even self referential ads, over and over? I’m torn at this point. I can see other reviews with similar issues, and I’m still experiencing these issues even after updating. I appreciate your devs and all that they do, and hope they can resolve the upload/notification issues soon!

AmyJSnelly,
Mandatory for new baby and distant family
We 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.

Going downhill…
I’ve been using this app since 2019 to avoid posting pics of my kids on social media and it became a lifeline for my extended family during the pandemic. It was a way to stay close to our loved ones at a time when we all felt so isolated. It had a few quirks, but it was free and overall I loved it.
When they switched to paid subscription only last year, I was annoyed but figured I was in too deep to back out (posting daily for the better part of 2 years) and was getting a lot of value out of the app so I ponied up the fee hoping the user experience would improve. It. Did. Not. Not only is the interface still clunky at times (something that bothers me way more now I’m paying real $$), but the uploading process itself has gotten noticeably WORSE— pictures uploading out of order, uploads getting hung up and never finishing, etc. And on top of everything, there are still ads! What am I paying for, again?
Again, if I was still making do with a free app I wouldn’t be complaining. But I’m paying for something that is tangibly worse than the free version.

Save your money
Please save your money. We loved TinyBeans and have used it daily for over a year and half, but since they started charging to use the app, everything has fallen apart. We paid the $40 for the year to continue getting the same functionality we used to get for free, and we felt like it was worth it, because our families loved getting the daily updates. But since they started charging, it seems like something else stops working each day. The newest thing is the emails that used to get sent to our families emails. There are also still issues with pictures loading, not getting notification badges, etc. $40 a year for an app is not cheap, and it’s disgraceful that once they started charging money, they seemed to let everything fall apart. We never had any issues when we were able to use the app for free. The funny thing is the emails with ads still work fine! We’ve reached out to support, and we always update to the latest version, so there’s no excuses they can use for what the issue could be. If they ever do fix the issues, they should be offering customers a free year of service, because there’s no excuse for what’s happened since they started charging to use.
