The app opens to a Stories tab that acts as the home screen. Instead of a scrolling feed, you see broad categories of stories, such as “Childhood,” “Service,” or “Family Traditions.” Tap a category to browse related memories, and occasionally a featured story banner highlights something noteworthy. The Search tab lets you look up stories or users by keywords or tags and, if you want, filter results by media type (audio, video or photo).
At the center of the navigation bar is the Post button, which really simplifies sharing and capturing a story. You choose whether to record video, audio or upload a photo, add a title and description, tag it with categories, and include captions. A helpful link to a “How to Post” guide explains the process. In Favorites, you can revisit saved stories, allowing quick access and playback controls for your favorite uploads.
Finally, the Profile tab holds your user information, uploads and friends list. From here you can edit your profile details and adjust privacy settings. Throughout the app, thoughtful features support storytelling: you can record in audio or video formats, use guided prompts to spark conversation, save family memories in favorites, control access to ensure privacy and security, and share stories across generations connecting through multiple generations.
Press one button: open the app and tap the big red record button. That’s it; you’re ready to share.
Answer simple questions: if you’d like, the app can give you easy prompts such as “What was your first job?” or “Who was your best friend growing up?”
Tell your story: just talk, laugh and remember. There is no time limit and no right or wrong way.
Save automatically: when you’re done, the app saves your story safely for your family to listen to anytime.
Organize into categories: your stories can be grouped under themes like Childhood, Family, Service, Traditions or Wisdom.
