Artkive - Save Kids' Art App Reviews

I like the concept of the ap but the most recent update doesnt show a way to view the projects in date order. I spent a ton of time trying to get things in order to easily find them and that seems to be messed up. Very disappointed

Love this app. Worth the money!

Really user friendly app that makes archiving kids artwork easy!

I love that I can keep the memories without the clutter. I always recommend this app to my mom friends especially when the conversation comes up about a little one finding art in the trash

The app is so easy to use. I take photos of my daughters work every week. Can twist to print my first book.

This is a great way to preserve your childs art!

Best customer service of any app ever and love having all my kids art so easily saved. Just ordered a Budsie too...cant wait for my daughter to see her own art as a stuffed animal.

I adore this app! Not only do I get to keep every single drawing, keepsake and creation from my daughter but I also get to share with the grandparents near and far. I love that every couple years I can turn the images into a book that my daughter will inherit when shes older. The new update allows more editing which is fun. There is a description box for every upload and I write word for word what my daughter says that way ten, twenty years from now we can relive her quirky kidisms. Get a new phone? Not to worry everything is stored on the cloud. Best app on my phone by far!

I love this app to keep my kids art work and school work for memories down the road. No issues!

I love this app and tell all my friends about it. Its a great way to keep all the art projects, but not actually drown in paper. Now I can keep the really great ones and still have a copy of everything else.

Love this app! I’ve tried all the kid art saving apps and there’s no comparison. You guys rock. Thank you!

Super fast and painless way to capture and keep the kids precious artwork and memories forever without cluttering up the house! I love all the options for making their art into books or even stuffed toys or a pillow for grandma. App works great. Easy to use. Could also be useful for teachers too, to capture their classes art projects over the years. Instead of naming/tagging by child, do it by year or holiday, and it gives you an artkive of ideas to reference and re-use for future classes.

I have had this app through multiple different phones. Ive switched from Apple to Samsung and LG and back to Apple all without losing a piece of art! Adorable grandparent gift and keepsakes for kids as they get older.

You know how theres never enough time in the day? And when children are added to the mix, there seems to be even less time to do all that you feel necessary every day? So you have to prioritize and the "optional" tasks in life take the back-burner? Time goes by and you suddenly have YEARS worth of your childrens memories just collecting dust and taking up storage space. I wish that Id have had this app when my oldest was born about 11 years ago! This app is marketed for saving ARTWORK, but it is more powerful than just that. You and quickly add photos of ANYTHING and categorize them very quickly and easily! I just got the app last week. I have hundreds of pix of my three sons artwork from preschool through fifth grade... Photos of first day of school, milestone pix like First Steps, First Tooth Lost, etc. You can quickly upload them and categorize them by each family members name and wishing that persons folder, sub-categorize items by age, date, grade, etc. I also think that this would be a great app for TEACHERS who would like to "keep" memories from their students year-after-year without taking up limited classroom space. They could use it like a digital diary of their students treasures... Create a "child" folder as the school year and then label each photo in it with the actual students names when labeling each item. If only Id had this when I started teaching back in 1992! I could remember my students and their treasures and reminisce often with easy access to their creations. This app is as a necessity for parents who want to preserve their childrens lives in a QUICK way. You never have to, but you may create and order products using your childrens photos... Books, blankets, mugs, etc. But the basic gist is that this app will save a lot of time to digitally keep and organize your childrens treasures. It has alleviated the guilt that I felt for years when disposing of my sons treasures without documenting them for posterity. ARTKIVE is so quick and easy, each day when the boys bring their backpacks home, we immediately take photos of their treasures and add them to their folders for this school year. We even add school papers with good grades on them! Using ARTKIVE has made my sons ACTUALLY SEE how much I value things that they do.

I love this app as it collects all the cool stuff my daughter does in one place. The only thing I really would change is that I would like to add more of a description sometimes. My kid is very imaginative and often I am cutting out a lot of her explanation to make it a bare bones description. I would love to be able to include a little more information about each piece of art.

Upload all your photos of kids art to a proprietary website. Pay to get the app. Pay to get the pictures back out. No thanks. If you want to pay $$$ to make printed photo albums, this is for you.

This is certainly not the application I was hoping it would be. For $4.99, I thought I would be paying for a robust art archiving solution. Instead, I am paying for a service that wants more money from me through purchasing additional products. I am disappointed that The interface is clunky, I cannot do multiple uploads for a single child and put individual descriptions. The pictures will not display full screen. Very disappointed. I rarely pay so much money for an app, I would be better served to storing my photos on shutter fly for free.
