Tell the story of your life with this must have Windows app.

As you get older, you find yourself looking back through old photos, remembering the good times. As many do... as I do, I find myself grouping like occasions together, at least in my mind, to form a story or tale. I even create a sound track for the story. Again, at least in my head.

The process is pretty easy:

2. You apply background music and sound effects
3. You narrate your story
4. You add captions and illustration, and
5. You publish and share
