I built an app to help parents and grandparents record and preserve their life stories for future generations—feedback welcome

Request

Hi everyone—I recently released a new app, My Family Historian, for iOS users. It uses AI to ask meaningful questions and help users record their stories by voice, which are then summarized and shared with family. The idea actually originated after my 98 year old grandmother passed away in 2023.

Knowing people are concerned with security and privacy, especially with AI, it was designed to only retain information on your Apple ID account (device or iCloud) and it can only be shared by you.

I’d love your feedback—what do you think are the most meaningful kinds of stories or memories to preserve? What type of concerns do you have with using AI for something like this? What can be done to make this easier for people to download and use?

Would love to know what features you’d find most useful too. Thanks!
