Storytellers say they love the structure Storyworth provides through weekly prompts, and that the questions themselves often spark long-forgotten memories. The process of spending time reflecting on their life and writing their stories helps storytellers understand and appreciate their lives better. They also feel an immense sense of pride and accomplishment in writing a book that leaves a legacy for their children and grandchildren.
For some storytellers, weekly prompts can feel overwhelming or hard to keep up with. For these storytellers, changing their question frequency or audio recording stories can be good options. Others request the ability to change fonts and add bold and italics to the copy.
Family members report feeling closer to the storyteller after reading stories they may never have heard without the prompts. They also love having a record of their loved ones' stories to pass down to future generations.

Like Storyworth, Remento users also enjoy the ability to preserve family stories in a keepsake book and feel closer to loved ones by learning more about them. They also say that the speech-to-text format works great for those with lower tech facility or motor or visual issues. Family members like the ability to listen to the storyteller share stories via the QR codes printed in their books. However, some worry about whether the QR codes will continue to function if the company goes out of business.
Others dislike the way the AI rewrites the content of their stories, saying the written versions don’t feel like they’re in their loved ones' real voices. They frequently mention a desire for phone support to navigate the process.
