Exactly What We Needed

We now have close to 30 family members - cousins, uncles, grandparents, in-laws - connecting across the US from Hawaii to Maine to Florida. The UI is perfectly simple for everyone from 16 to 81 to use. Thank you so much for making this and having it ad-free and accessible.

Great way to connect with family

My (adopted) mom downloaded this app so me, my birth grandma, and my birth mom can connect and share photos. With this app my mom and grandma can easily have photos of me growing up in one place. So thank you for creating this app.

Treasure

My son Levi passed in 2019. Cluster has been a huge part of my coping as I pass through this life without him. Having his pictures in one place is a treasure.
