Originally I loved this app, it was a fun and comfortable way of sharing photos with close friends. However, the "key" feature completely ruined the experience. It forces you to select only a few people (just three key holders) who can see your past posts. I tried to manage this by removing one keyholder to add someone new, but after doing so, I wasn’t allowed to add anyone else. This restriction made the app feel exclusive and frustrating, because one had to pay extra to share past photos.

Updating on a previous review. I really love this app as it's a refreshing way to share with family and friends without having the influence of ads, celebrities, etc. But the recent update of removing videos has dropped the rating significantly for me. It would be much better to offer the option of uploading longer videos for premium members than completely removing videos altogether since that's something everyone was able to do before Edited

The app is great but I encounter an issue with the widget feature—it doesn't show up in my homescreen. Even though I keep on refreshing it, the widget still says "Error loading media. Tap to retry." Also, why can't I saw my friends post to their week even though I already posted something by updating our album? Hope you can fix it. Thank you! Edited

This was the best app for me and my friends and they decided to add a Premium plan. I mean it would've been okay if they were new cool updates but why would you put price tags on something that was completely free, like bffr 🤭They gave me a free lifetime membership since I've been here since 2024✨️ Thank you🫶🏽 Well...kind of useless since my friends decided to leave the app coz of the update. They offered a membership for them too, but 3 emails later still nothing. Edited

I love Retro and I've been happily using it on both my iPhone and my Android phone until this week - on Android I'm running into issues loading photos, uploading photos or videos, and just the app hanging and crashing a lot.
