  • Super expensive shipping

    Nice quality books, ridiculous shipping
  • Disapponted

    Just received my Blurb book. Was disappointed when the app only had 2 book sizes to choose from when I have ordered other sizes from their website in the past. Super disappointed I spent over $35 with shipping to get this 5x5 book with a soft cover that looks like it should have cost me 1/3 of that. The book was meant to be a gift and now I have to add other items to the gift bc it seems so cheap. On the plus side, shipping was quick and the photos in the book look okay but I won’t be ordering again. I feel like I could have made this book myself.

  • Needs support for the files app

    I am a photographer who uses the iPad, I wished I could use this to grab the photos from the hard drive to make into a photo book but this won’t take the images from the hard drive as it only takes images from the photos app.
  • Pages mixed up

    Ordered a small book to test out the service for a larger project. It arrived after a week but several of the pages are not in the correct order. I double checked the preview for the book I ordered and it wasn’t user error. Definitely a problem their end.

    There are other things worth mentioning like the inability to add text in different fonts; and pages lose about 3mm of picture around the outside with seemingly no way of resizing. The two sizes available for soft cover books are either too large or too small. They could do with a medium size. Postage cost as much as the book itself with no cheaper options so that’s worth bearing in mind if you want to order.

    Not overly impressed tbh.

  • Could be better

    It only allows you to select between two size books. More options would make this app actually usable. I will note that the actual editing portion of the app was pretty good which is the only reason I gave two stars.
  • Worst app ever

    I’m trying to connect to Flickr so I can upload some pictures for a book. There’s no options, nothing. I get the option to pick two sizes and then a blank screen.

    It’s incredibly frustrating when everything I read says use blurb.

    Also I do everything over the cell network. I don’t have wifi and don’t live near wifi. This is 2021, your app should be able to handle the cell network or not have a cell phone app. Don’t waste everyone’s time with an app if it doesn’t work.

    Developer Response

    Hello, Thanks for the feedback on how to improve our app. I've made sure to pass it along. Best, Blurb Team
  • Use the Windows Version instead

    I tired to use this on the iPad but it’s not as advanced as the windows version. So get Windows, it’s way better unless the iPad is all you have. But this looks like it’s mainly for photos books. I’m trying to create and publish an actual book I’ve finished. So this is not for me.
  • Excellent Fun

    Love Blurb just wish the app version was a bit more involved like the desktop computer version.
  • 12x12 books please!

    Waiting for the ability to make a 12x12 book. I scrapbook digitally from my phone. I want to be able to create a book as I make pages!!!
  • Not as versatile as you think

    Big problem in not being able to edit or work on my book from either the app or desk top. Seriously limited to 80 pictures in a photo book?? A nice retirement coffee table style book with 20 years of pictures. Why do you care if I’m pay??
