Best baby book
This was so easy to set up . You have to complete three chapters then they automatically get sent to you after you buy the book. You can set reminders so you don’t fall behind.
Perfect keepsake
I love this book so much. I’m giving it four stars because the UX of uploading/finding photos has changed but not for the better. It used to be simple to find photos, but now it’s a struggle.
Disappointing Customer Service
I purchased 2 complete set of boxes, folders, and personalized stickers, something I had wanted for years. Unfortunately, there were issues with the name stickers, one had a printing error, while the other was ordered incorrectly on our end. We contacted the company promptly, but were told our only option was to repurchase both stickers for approximately $8 each. Despite reaching out multiple times, there was no willingness to offer a replacement, discount, or meet us halfway, as we were told this was simply their policy. I understand policies regarding customer ordering errors, but considering we purchased the complete set and also experienced a printing issue, the lack of flexibility was disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience has made me reconsider purchasing the remaining baby book products or another box for my third child.
Easy app and beautiful book
I have been using this app for 3 years. I love how it perfectly captures our family’s adventures and preserves them in a beautiful album. The app is so easy to use and has great features like uploading videos that are easy to access with QR codes printed on the pages. It has weekly questions to make sure you stay up to date on updating your book. I have pulled the album out during my daughter’s birthdays to highlight special moments through her year. I always get so many compliments on how beautiful the pages are and how organized the content is . Thank you for this product. Very well done.
Great if you put in the time
Only takes a few minutes a day but if you don’t keep up with it then it might take longer. Pictures take me the longest to organize and sometimes I worry I’ve already used a picture somewhere else in the book. It would be helpful if there was a feature to alert you if the same or a similar picture was already used. A prompt or a tab you could quickly look through that shows all pictures and videos used. The questions are creative, and I am thankful for those specific prompts. I used this app when my son was born. I got a little bit behind and thought that a paper baby book would be easier with my daughter, but I ended up just wanting to do this with her again because it so hard with kids to have a paper baby book out all the time and remember to write in it. This makes it easier to catalog every little memory.. there’s plenty of space to write down all the funny little memories that you have that you don’t wanna forget. Would recommend.
App crashes
I really want to love the app. I’ve heard fantastic things about the quality of printed pages, and I love the app when it works. But it doesn’t work very well. Pretty much crashes every time I upload something. Hopefully the development team can work out the kinks.
Best baby book app!!!
I’ve used this app for my baby book for over a year, and my baby’s book is absolutely beautiful. It was so easy to keep up with, I got notifications for the prompts! Nothing is missing. I love the ability to create collages on the pages.
Love this app!
I love the idea of doing my son’s baby book slowly over time as I remember everything. My only issue is the app stopped giving me prompts.
Account disappeared?
Helped me recover my account after a typo when setting up my account. Thank you! Creating my baby’s book has been easy and fun to do with this app!
Looooove it
As a totally exhausted new mom, this was the only baby book I could actually keep up with. The Short Years made it easy to capture memories during naps and late-night feeds, and getting the pages mailed to us felt like such a win. I’m so grateful we didn’t lose these moments — they go by way too fast.
Exactly as advertised
So beautiful and easy to use. You can choose when your notifications remind you to work on your baby book. Love the update to adjust photos too!
The Easiest Baby Book!
When I was pregnant with our daughter, I knew I wanted to document her first year but also knew I wasn’t going to stay on top of scrapbooking. When I stumbled across The Short Years, I knew I struck gold! Not only was everything in an easy format via an app, BUT I could combine both words and pictures in a clean, easy to follow way. This baby book helped me capture all her first milestones and big changes that happen that first year. We LOVE flipping through her baby book. Now I’m pregnant with my son and can’t wait to get started on his baby book. I know they are something we’ll keep will cherish forever! Thank you Short Years! 🩷🩵
Love this
The Short Years makes creating a baby book unbelievably easy and enjoyable. The app walks you through each stage with thoughtful prompts, so you never feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to include. Everything is beautifully designed, intuitive, and quick to customize—even during the busiest newborn days. I love how it turns everyday moments into meaningful keepsakes without requiring hours of work. It truly takes the stress out of documenting memories and helps you create something you’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend to any parent—absolutely deserving of 5 stars!
Brilliant Way to Actually Complete a Baby Book
The Short Years app makes it easy to create and most importantly, complete a baby book! The concept is simple yet unique. With the convenience of your smartphone, you can easily choose photos, customize layouts, and complete the prompts each month of your baby’s first year. I love that the app is owned and operated by a family run small business and that the printing and production takes place in the United States. I managed to complete my son’s baby book in his first year and am now committed to keeping up with completing a baby book for each of our twin daughters.
Baby book made easy
We’ve been using The Short Years to document our baby’s milestones, likes, dislikes, growth and all for 6 months now. I love that you can set reminders to go in and answer just a few questions at a time, and have chapters printed later on.
