Memorygram is a service advertised to bring a project to the giftee in the form of questions for filling out a story about the giftee so their legacy can survive their inevitable demise.
Dark reminder about their death aside, the giftee could just type their own book without this service, and they could probably do it much faster without Memorygram's help. You get a question from Memorygram to answer from time to time, but that's about it. The questions are very broad in scope, things like "Which family member told you the best stories?" The questions could be answered any way the giftee likes, but they have to take frequent breaks, and until enough questions are answered, they can't print out their book.
That's the major selling point of Memorygram: The book print. They will send a polished book to the giftee and optionally to 2-3 other people for safekeeping. They automate this process quite well, perhaps so well that you question if they've even done it at all until they eventually send you the book.
The overall impression I have is that Memorygram operates at the slowest possible pace. For a premium service, they don't feel premium after the purchase. It took us nearly a year to get our first question email. We never got any phone calls according to the giftee, and they weren't able to easily fill out the questions just by clicking a link, so we ended up helping the giftee to log into the service to access the questions, which was kind of a hassle.
If I was to give Memorygram a rating, I would have to give it a 1/5, because it just isn't worth the money and time. If it was faster and easier, it would be worth the price for older, less tech savvy folks. However, it isn't as easy as they sell it to be. We haven't got our books from Memorygram yet, and it's been almost a full year since our purchase. I'll edit this article whenever we get the books to comment on print quality.
