StoryCorps App Reviews

It did take a while to upload but it was tolerable for me. Only thing I didnt like is when I organized a bunch of questions and then started to test record to see if it worked. Well after that I couldnt edit it, I had to create a brand new interview and add new questions again. Otherwise I really enjoyed it!

How disappointing. Such a great project, but logging in under Facebook doesnt work, then changing the password three times on my account doesnt work. Eventually I gave up. Was someone drunk when they made this?

I wanted to like this and after completing a multi hour interview with my mother just from questions I found on the internet, I thought this would be an excellent way to make interviewing my father easier. But completing the interview became very problematic. 1) I put together all the questions in advance and got ready to do the interview. When I started the process I wanted to check the sound and do a test recording to make sure we could hear everyone but theres no record/playback option. So I recorded and then stopped which forced me to choose to end the interview. I wasnt done - I hadnt even started. But I chose to end it and boom - all of my setup was gone because the interview was then deleted and I had to start over and setup the questions again which lost me valuable time. 2) Theres no pause option. Several times we were interrupted by phone calls and curious family members and my only option was to Stop and lose the whole interview again. This resulted in my having to start over and set up new questions again. 3) Predetermining the length of the interview is scary. Having not used it before I set it up for the 40 minute length and saw my countdown coming to a close. I started to panic and rush through questions because I thought the app would just stop recording after 40 minutes. It didnt but I could no longer see where I was pinning and starring things. 4) Theres no way to add a picture to the interview after its complete. I wanted to take a picture but we were being rushed because of an emergency situation that came up during mid interview. (Again, the no option to pause or continue the interview later became an issue.) I apparently hadnt granted the app permission to use my camera so it wouldnt take a picture. After the fact I granted it permission but wasnt allowed to add it to the completed interview.

Terrible. Doesnt upload, cant download. Dont waste your time.

If you can get something uploaded, there is no search function; and the videos on the web site dont work. You cant play most of them. I hope you get it fixed. This is a great idea.

i tried to upload and it says it did. But, when i tried to play it it refused to and when I tried to find it on another account it said it didnt exist.

I was able to do my first interview with a friend of mine. It ended up being 66 minutes and I was able to upload it. However, when I try to play it in the app, it doesnt play.

I recorded some great interviews with my grandma and uploaded them. When I went to retrieve them I could not play them or share them. I am so sad that these interviews are lost in the ether.

I love Story Corps, but this app is terrible. It doesnt open or function. A complete waste! I signed up and created a user id and password. Then it said the password is invalid. Tried to reset password, then it said user ID isnt valid. Tried to add new profile and it said user ID already valid. I just gave up and deleted the app.

I first saw this when Tedx was talking about this. I when I did my interview I was nice to have questions coming without you thinking about the next but it crashed to much for me.

I eagerly wait for the new episodes and love listening to some of the old ones...

My granddaughter interviewed me Great Experience. Congrats!
