Ratings and reviews

Awesome idea, horrible service. I bought my first book, perfect, but as I was working on the second one it just said "syncing," it's been a month and it's still syncing. My only alternative is to erase all the project and restart it. I have send emails and contacted them, I even said on their survey the issue had not been resolved and... you guessed it, it's still syncing! Not using them again.

Added my photos and the process was easy enough. But then the final price came and I was SHOCKED. Even after a 25% discount the book came to $225! Never would I EVER pay that price for a book of pictures. Uninstalled immediately.

The app itself feels empty. There is not a lot of options and it's confusing to use. No option to choose what size of book, no option to change fonts on the cover..the app won't even let me select which photos I want from my phone. Don't waste your time. Find a more user friendly option to create a photo book.
