Crashing

Besides taking a pretty long time to load presets and lagging out a few times the tools are a great use in the app. Sometimes however the images are lagging behind when you choose and background and try moving the image

Saal Mobile Handicapped

I saw this book on a DIY You Tube photo video and was blown away by the look. I constructed my book on the mobile app and my biggest complaint is adding text. You are limited by the preset pages they offer. It looks like it’s a different experience on a desk top or lap top but on an iPad it’s very frustrating. Maybe I add another star once the book is delivered. Stay tuned.

We're sorry that you're not happy with the text design. We advise you to use the webshop as an alternative. Here you have a wide range of configuration and design options and can also edit a project saved online on different devices and on your computer.

Constantly crashing

Terrible app. Tried ordering a HD metal print with black floating frame. Every time I tried to adjust the size I wanted to order from the default size the app would crash and close. After 7 attempts with each resulting in the app crashing I gave up.

App doesnt work with all products

Overall a good app if you want to just print pictures, but if you want to design cards the functionality is broken. All pictures embed as landscape so you cant make portrait photo cards. You also cant add a second image, eg one on the front and a second image like product branding on the back as you cant resize or crop any images.

Guess i will just have to use the desktop and online versions and not bother creating on my ipad

Frustrating, glitchy and slow

I have spent a great deal of time trying to produce a ‘professional’ photo book using this app - which does not sync with the desktop version so I couldn’t use that to complete it.
I had repeated problems with adding text to the cover - text formatting changing; repeated text boxes which then would not delete. I only persisted because I had spent so much time adding the photos and formatting the book.
I don’t think I will be using it again.

Bugs

I’ve not completed a project yet, it Keeps saying off-line but I’m not and when you can get online for a short period you get the whirly wheel it seems to take forever on every action and didn’t save my project, hopefully get this sorted

WOW!!

I didn’t expect much from this app as most like it are very glitchy. It REALLY exceeded my expectations! I made my art into a professional photo book and the process was pretty self explanatory. The features were easy to use, pages were easy to reorder, and changing the layout of each page was a smooth process. They had great design options/features that were easy to add or subtract from my project. I had no issue with glitching or lagging, and I LOVED that they had an option for me to save my project and come back to it later.

Great App (after the latest release)

I don’t usually write reviews but as I received a generous voucher for my thoughts….. Overall the app is really easy to use and very intuitive. I can’t comment on the quality of the photo book as I only finished the design and uploaded yesterday. I didn’t use the quick automatic creation as I wanted some control over the order of photos in the book. There are so many different choices for layouts including one image across two pages which is great for panoramas.

OLD VERSION [My main criticism is the option to add text. Firstly I couldn't see a way of choosing which of the two pages being edited to add text to (it defaults to right and then left but with different default font sizes (66 & 36 respectively)- it would be great to be able to set style for the whole book upfront. Also adding text after placing photos sometines causes the page layout to change and without a back button it is not easy to revert and on some occasions the originally chosen layout is no longer an option! It would be nice to be able to place text anywhere including in the middle of a two-page spread eg. title for a panorama.]

UPDATE - I have just updated the ipad app and the photos no longer change positions when adding text. The text design features are so much better- I look forward to my photo book arriving and using the improved app in the future

Premium Photo Album

I am so happy I discovered this app on social media and was able to finally create that beautiful photo album of my family’s trip! Great and user friendly app!

Response from developer

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you like our app and your photo album so much. ☺️

As easy as can be

Using this app was super easy. I have simply uploaded my photos and the app placed them into the album. Later I was able to rearrange and add some pictures if needed. I haven’t figured out hot to move pictures around and switch them but the rearranged set formats give you plenty of options. Can’t wait for the final product to arrive
