Little Nugget: Baby Milestones

I have 2 boys, a 3 year old and 1 month old, and I’ve loved having this app to create memories for both kids. Having quick access to beautiful and cute templates right on my phone has helped me document lots of little moments for our new baby as they happen. I’ve also loved going back into my toddlers photos and creating his portfolio of memories of his first 3 years. It’s so nice to create photos in the moment or go back to past photos and update with dates and milestones. Little Nugget is super easy, quick and such quick designs. Can’t wait to use the printing feature so I can finally get to work on those baby books!

Was very excited to find an app that claimed to provide an easily accessed account, the ability to setup multiple children (even though we’re only starting on our first) filters/milestone stickers/etc, all at a reasonable cost - a $2.99 purchase from the App Store. After setting everything up, when going to create my first picture I was surprised to learn that you still have to purchase all of the fonts/stickers/etc separately...with the app claiming to offer a “sale price” of $5.99 (instead of over $20) for all. So now I’ve ended up paying $9 for an app that is marketed to already have the additional in-app purchases that you have to field the additional cost of. Extremely disappointed and frustrated with the creators who’ve excelled at building their “feel-good” app up on misleading customers. When you’re pitching your product to be upfront about cost, charge up front or don’t charge at all. Wish I could get my money back 😡

Pros: the fonts are the cutest I’ve seen of all the baby photo apps and there are many options. The stickers that are available are also incredibly cute and don’t look tacky or childish. I would be happy to print these photos into a book or scrapbook. Cons: need more color options overall. Many of the other photo editors have WAY more color options for their stickers and texts. This is a huge draw back and one of the reasons for a star deduction. For an app this sophisticated, it seems like lazy app development. I am sure the developers could easily incorporate a much wider range of colors Needs “more” overall. For an app that actually costs about 8.00 to unlock everything, not the 2.99 or 3.99 to purchase it... I expected for there to be way more stickers and options under each category. You could add photo frames; an option to do a vignette style and control the amount. An option to do a collage would be wonderful... Overall... the app just needs more of what it has, otherwise it’s just a little bit underwhelming and not worth the money spent. I would not recommend buying this app as opposed to another photo editor until they make the money spent comparable to what you get out of it.

This app, when you purchase the packs for the additional stickers, is really neat, allowing lots of fun edits and improvements. Once edited, you can share them however you want without a watermark on the picture. The problem, though, is that the quality is drastically cut, making printing an impossible option due to the reduced quality. There is the option to use a service built into the app to order prints, but for standard prints, you cannot print any standard sizes of the pictures - only square sizes are available. I would expect this for an unpaid or advertisement based application. But for a paid application, it should not reduce my image to an unusable quality beyond an iPhone screen.

The app can produce some very cute and creative result, but it really stops right here. To get the better badge, you will end up spending close to $10 for in-app purchase. The app randomly crashes when you drag the badge or text around without saving draft. The finished photo you cannot go back to re-edit, and I still couldn’t figure out how to save draft. Every moment you are using it you will be afraid that it will crash and you will have to do everything all over again. To adjust the size of the badge you can also go as small as your two finger could allow you. There’s also no way to enlarge photo to do more precision design or placement. And lastly, on the XS Max, the app interface gets in the way on the top part where the notch is
