London scrapbooking app sees 400% user increase during lockdown

A London creativity app has seen a 400 per cent increase in users since the beginning of the UK’s lockdown.

Digital Scrapbook app, Storychest, has seen its monthly registered users quadruple since lockdown began.

Over the last 70 days Storychest has seen a “massive” upsurge in new people downloading the app, as well as in existing users.

Charlotte McMillian, founder of Storychest, commented: “The idea for Storychest came from my own desire to keep stories about my family alive, including stories about my grandmother who was a much loved and central person in our family, and my father, a larger than life character who touched the lives of many but who sadly passed away before my children were born.

“I’ve passed on my grandmother’s recipes to my children through Storychest and mementos from my father including postcards he sent to me as a child when he and mum went to Europe on a trip (I grew up in Australia).

“I wanted to create a way for my family and other families to capture the essence of their personal stories, so I created the Storychest app.”
