Timehop app review: taking a look at the past

Timehop

Price: Free

Timehop by Timehop gives you the ability to move and hop through the past so you can relive those fabulous times with family and friends.

This social-networking based app uses the powers of photos and updates from the exact date in history. You'll be checking out what has happened on "this exact day" in the past with your family and friends. This is a great way to remind yourself of those special moments and fun times you’ve shared with people that so often seem to escape our memories.

Not only is it cool to look back at your history but there’s also that element of fun it brings about. It’s hard not to let those good times and feelings last when you constantly are reliving different moments. The app gets all its information and photos from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Foursquare, and Flickr. As well it will go through your Camera Roll. The results are displayed daily for you to enjoy and you can even share them with friends and family so you can relive it with them.

The app gets addictive really fast and before you know it your day will begin with a check on Timehop to see what your past held.

Timehop was updated on May 10, 2013 and currently has 15 customer ratings with an average rating of three and a half out of five stars.

I loved the joy this app brought each day as I checked what I was doing a year ago at this time. It's really fun and actually pretty telling showing you just how much things change or in some cases remain the same in a year.
