My kids are at really cute ages. So many times I wish I could bottle up their 5 yr.old-ness and 3 yr. old-ness and keep it forever. Not saying they won’t do cute things in the years to come, but I find it pretty magical when my son explains the reason his girlfriend likes him as “I showed her my ducks.” Will it ever be this innocent again?!
My husband and I try to capture it all–we really do. We even have preschool concerts and big events down to a science; I snap the pics and he records the video as his hands are more steady. And then we do our best to text the highlights to friends and family, throwing some of our favorites up on Facebook. But at best, our efforts are haphazard.
So when I found out the OneDay app was coming to Android as of yesterday, 2/3/15 (it has already been on iTunes), I was pretty stoked. I had heard about this app endlessly from friends. About how awesome it was, how much kids loved it, and what a perfect way it was to capture memories all in one custom-made video. Now that it’s available on Android for FREE, it was time to give this app a whirl. Plus, the sweet new Valentines’ stories are adorbale!
What is it?
The OneDay App is an instant movie maker that helps parents make movies of their children like a pro in seconds with fun holiday themes and curated, thought provoking, fun story sets.
Is it hard to use?
No! OneDay makes it fun to create short movies of your child’s life with a few simple steps. You open the app, pick a question from a wide selection of fun story sets, and record your children’s answers. Then the app automatically stitches the recorded videos together, and adds music to make quality, priceless movies to share with family and friends.
The strength of the app is in its simplicity. No thinking required. No editing or video skills needed. If I can do this, so can you!
How do I do it?
Download the app, chose a set of themed questions for your movie (try one of the Valentine’s prompts I mentioned–they are the perfect way to send a smile this time of year!), record your child’s answers, hit “save and created story” and then watch your edited video, with music and transitions.
The app guides you through and does all the hard work for you. You just record your kid and have fun!
What does a video look like?
So glad you asked! Check out what my very non-skilled, non-tech-savvy self came up with:
One with a touch of heart (please ignore my daughter passionately flailing on the side) and
One I like to call “Brother-Sister Love” (if you have a sibling pair at home, you will know exactly why this is so precious…)
Want to get this easy video-making fun for yourself?
Go HERE for iTunes and HERE for Android, download the app and let it guide you through making your own keepsake to share with friends and family.
Did I mention that it’s FREE? It definitely is. Go score fun for yourself and and get ready to laugh it up with your kids! With this app, you are all video stars!

Very sweet. I wish I had something like this when the girls were younger. They’re less spontaneous and more calculated in their answers now, but it will still make for a good show.
I hope to see some of your videos on the blog.

I know what you mean–there is so much innocence in this young age that makes it sweet. And yes, I hope to get better videos than the ones I linked to here–my kids were in a mood, especially with that second one 😉 Thanks for checking it out, Eli!
