  • Only get if your in the USA

    I don’t know what it’s like as I live in the U.K. and can’t get it/ have to pay stupid amount to get it! Would only try out if u live in the states
  • Great way to get photos off your phone

    I like this app because it’s simple and easy to use and the photo books are great but you have absolutely no choice on which photos get a full page spread and which photos are teeny tiny (this is the case when you choose 75 or more photos). You so get to choose the photo that goes on the cover of the book and and a title. I recommend only doing 50 photos per book, then all the photos are a larger size. I have made over 15 of these books and I give them as gifts and keep many for myself, so much better than photo albums and the quality is great!

    Developer Response

    Hi, thanks for the feedback. Although we attempt to make it easy by randomizing layouts - we'll look into adding more control to the user! ✌️
  • For your children.

    I make one magazine each month for my children. From the ski seasons to summer hiking adventures and first days of school my kiddos will have memories. This is a great app and very user friendly and trust me I hate technology. If your looking to share memories and keep memories of your family I suggest using this app. To think my kids will have over 200 magazines to look at when they have a family of their own. Pretty solid gift for others also.

  • App doesn’t show active subscriptions

    When you go into the subscriptions part of the app, it doesn’t show that you have an active one. The “Cancel Account” option at the bottom is light gray on a white background like its grayed out. This easily makes you think you don’t have an account. Customer service is no help in cancelling a subscription when provided the reference number on the charge in your checking account, saying instead to check in the app. Makes it difficult to track down someone’s subscription and cancel it.

  • Aaaaaaaaamazing

    Where have you been all my parenting life!!!! This app is so great and I am so thankful something easy, affordable, and beautiful has finally come to the market. I love the slim simple look, the paper quality is fantastic and every book I have been beyond satisfied with. I’ve been trying to convert all friends and family to use Recently. You HAVE to try it!

  • Still being charged after I cancelled

    The magazines always arrive much later than the estimated arrival time and the quality of the prints is poor. I tried to cancel my subscription last month after they lost my order for 2 magazines. They would not refund me for the subscription charge and I was charged again this month. The person I emailed with about the issue last month argued back and forth with me saying I was never billed and had to send a screen shot of my bank statements.
    I would not recommend this app and I would not trust them with your credit card information.

  • Used to be good

    I used to order from here a lot, it’s a simple book but also super easy to put together. But they’ve apparently changed things. I can’t change the date/month included and can’t place a one time order (or so it appears - I can’t find anything that says what I’m signing up for, it only has the very long terms of service which no one is ever going to read). Disappointed. I added all my pics and now can’t print.

  • Thank you!

    I have to say that this was the best gift from my daughter! I’ve continued it now for almost two years! I love being able to just pick up a book and see my pictures! Fantastic quality! Thank you thank you!!!
  • The absolute BEST photo book!

    I am so very impressed with my magazine. The quality, the pictures, the layout. I’ve used another app that made horribly dark pictures and they told me they couldn’t edit them. What a waste. This book is so beautifully done, I love that all my pictures came out clear and light. Love the matte finish, love the full page photos, love everything about it. It’s the best way to keep hard copies of your photos!

  • Thrilled with the result

    I was given a gift certificate for Recently from someone who knows I love photography. I’ve made plenty of hardcover photo books before but never a soft cover magazine and I was not familiar with Recently. I finally got around to publishing my first magazine and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the process was, how responsive the company was when troubleshooting my questions, and how phenomenal the magazine looked once published. It was truly an enjoyable experience and a beautiful finished product. I’m so happy I was introduced to Recently and plan to publish many more magazines.
