INTRODUCING: Custom Questions

We've loved getting your feedback as you have started recording your stories on Legacy Lock. One of the biggest requests we have received so far is the ability to tell stories beyond our prompts. You asked, and we delivered. Here's how you can now record even more special memories on Legacy Lock.

Custom Questions

Go far beyond our prompts and tell stories completely unique to you and your family. Got a crazy family tradition you look forward to every year? Want to share about your annual Disney vacations? Want to preserve the time you participated in a flash mob? You can tell any story you can imagine now. Here's how.

  1. Select a Category - Think about which existing category your story falls into (or where you would like to store it).
  2. Select Custom Question - At the top of each category page you will now see a special Custom Question button.
  3. Create a title for the story you'd like to tell - What is your story about? Make a title so you can find it again and your family knows what it's about.
  4. Record and share your story - Record and submit as usual. When done, you'll see your story populate on your profile with your other posts.

Repeat Questions

By adding Custom Questions, we've also went ahead and expanded on our existing prompts. Maybe you've already recorded one prompt but realized later there's more to the story you want to add, or maybe you'd like to tell the story multiple times for each person involved. Whatever the reason, you can now record any prompt as many times as you'd like. Here's how.

  1. Select one of the prompts you've already recorded - You'll know because these prompts will have a checkmark instead of a record video icon.
  2. Create a unique title for this new story - This could be a totally new title or just simple Part 2 of the same title. We make it easy by suggesting one for you.
  3. Record and share your story - Take it away as normal and let your inner storyteller shine. Don't forget to share these stories with family members to truly make them magical.

How to use repeat questions to tell more of your story

Every family is special and deserves to safely and easily preserve their family legacy and pass it onto future generations. Our mission at Legacy Lock is to equip family's everywhere through the power of technology. Hopefully, these new features gives you even more control to tell your unique story your way.

You can submit any bugs or add your feedback here so we can continue to build the best app for you and your family.

Haven't invited your family on? Do that today

Send your family this blog post, or even simply this link. You can tell them you'd like to have everyone record their memories so you can save them all in one place and share them with each other. We find that giving them specific memories to start with (like stories of Grandma) helps people feel more comfortable to get the ball rolling.

Happy storytelling!
