Today's a popular day for app redesigns launches. :) Congrats, @blader and team. The first version of Hey launched about a year ago (hunted by @liveink). Today's release adds easier sharing functionality, new "Days" feed, and search (my favorite -- useful for finding photos from specific events or locations months or years ago). The branding has also changed significantly. It feels more space-like. "Auto-journaling" is an interesting space, especially as technology becomes more ubiquitous and consumers create even more content than they are today (consider what a 24/7 Google Glass-like video broadcast could enable). Steven and Memoir are a few others to watch.

Also not a fan of the redesign :( I used to be SUCH a huge fan of HeyDay! Most of my days I don't take a picture so now it's just one giant black square with the date in it. It's also harder to scan where I've been as my primary use case is wondering "What did I do last weekend?". Oh and the events of each day are in reverse chronological order now so it's really confusing as I scroll down I expect to be in the past but it's actually the evening of that particular date.

@blader, do you mind sharing what led to the major redesign? I personally loved the old design. I especially liked the slideshow of past pictures from random days at the top. I know it's new and I'll probably sound like those people that complained about FB's design changes, but I'm really not liking the redesign. I would have paid money to use Heyday; not true after this redesign. The original one was so polished!

Congrats @blader! This looks like a completely new app, I look forward to digging in over the weekend :-)

been using the beta. its a beautiful, effortless experience. would love to see something around the top magic window view soon.

The design of the website and app are both really nice. I don't see myself moving away from Day One though.

A great product. Very excited for this launch!
