Leap Second - Everyday Videos

Went through and populated 6 months worth of video clips.. added them to the days, selected the best section, watched the advertisement required on the free version, to trim each clip and store the 1 sec inside the app. I really loved it! Then one day I open the app thinking I will buy the pro version... and it’s ALL GONE. Sure, the videos are still on my phone- but I would have to go back and drag each one in, preview for the best section again.... BUMMER. I will update my review if they fix this issue- but this app wasted my time! Great customer service- Jon helped me fix it! The leap second album accidentally got deleted, but I was able to restore them by adding the hidden clips back to the album!! Yay!

I reserve 5 stars for either great customer service or a fantastic concept and execution. PROS: Leap Second offers users an easy, functional way to document our lives in short form, making it possible to reflect on a month, or year, within a super reasonable time span. Being able to pick either a photo or video is great. The reminder option is great. CONS: I get that this is intellectual property and the developers should make money from their work! Totally support that. I just think the upgrades could be a little cheaper, and that we don’t have to pay over and over to add one little thing here and there. Not sure I’m thrilled about having paid for several features on different occasions! Meh. Overall, though, this is a really great lite app. What makes it most special is that it offers me a certain time every day to pause and reflect on my life, and to consider how I want to frame what was truly important that day. It’s got iconic features. Worth it.

I love being able to post multiple videos per day, the calendar is great, and I like that you can extend videos to 5 seconds with the pro version (I think 1 second is too short). This is an awesome app!! HOWEVER, one thing I really hate about this app is the video trimmer. It’s really difficult to select which specific part of the video you want to trim. Every time I want to choose a clip to trim, I have to watch the whole video, take note of the exact second that I want the clip to be trimmed, restart the video, pause exactly at that second, then press “trim”. I’m not sure if there’s an easier way to do it, but if there is I can’t figure it out?? :( PLEASE this app would be literal perfection if only the video trimmer were better. My suggestion: let us “scrub” across the video with a selection box containing the 1-5sec clip, and allow us to dynamically preview the selection before committing to trim. Pls I would even pay extra money for this. ANYWAYS I love this app please make it more perfect I will tell all my friends about it <3 Edit: ALSO I wanted to add - I would like to see some of the added features that are present in the original second a day app. Such as: create different timelines, export specific clips as one video, enter daily mood/notes, etc. I would love these features. The main selling point of your app, however, is the fact that I can post multiple videos in a day!

I love the idea behind the concept and was impressed at the functionality of this app (I upgraded to Pro), but the UX is still a little rough around the edges. When you select a date to import media, I wish it would just show you if you have any photos or videos in that day without having to tap the photo icon to reveal them. Also, when you’re in the screen to select moments to add to your day, seeing the “select” screen pop up and having to tap “select” every time after you’ve already dragged and dropped it is really annoying (doesn’t it defeat the purpose of dragging and dropping?). Once you drag and drop it would nice if you could scroll through them sideways to X out any you want to remove. There are more things like this that if finessed would really make this app stand out; I already like it more than the original 1SE app!

Aug 6 updated to 5 stars bc I downloaded the update and can export my video. I like the idea of the app, I like that you can increase your clip to 2-5 seconds if you wanted to, and most of all I like that you can add multiple videos from the same day. The largest con is that I cannot seem to export/share my video once it’s created. I want to have it as a file on my computer, and in order to do that I need to share and download the video. I have tried multiple times, restarted my phone, shared different sections and the app keeps quitting on me. It looks like it’s working to about 90% and then the app will just crash. And that is exporting the lowest resolution, and only trying to export one year at a time-nothing more than that. The inability to export my file renders the app useless to me. I emailed customer support but haven’t received any reply.
