### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-09, version 3.11.70*

For how expensive these are you would think you could just upload photos to make an album

### 1/5 — Soooo slow and buggy

*2026-08-05, version 3.11.70*

I rarely give bad reviews but this app is so slow and buggy it’s unusable.

### 1/5 — What?

*2026-07-19, version 3.11.70*

I downloaded this app with hopes to be able to edit my photo album easier than on safari on my phone but it isn’t an option to do on the app? I’m confused. Also it takes you to safari to look at other albums. I’m just confused so I guess I will be deleting this app unfortunately since it’s pointless to me.

### 1/5 — Place order button broken

*2026-05-29, version 3.11.68*

I love that I can upload high res photos to the app to purchase prints however when I get to check out the “place order” button doesn’t work. I’ve yet to hear from customer support.

### 1/5 — Basically pointless

*2026-05-02, version 3.11.66*

The app does not communicate with the account projects stored on the web version and renders itself basically useless. Beyond frustrating.

### 1/5 — Can’t even login and doesn’t scale for Ipad

*2026-04-29, version 3.11.66*

This app doesn’t support single sign on like the website does so I can’t even login to my account and the app isn’t scaled for use on iPad. Opening it on this device just gives you the phone dimensions so you can’t use your full screen. Huge missed opportunity. Disappointing because I was hoping this would a smoother experience than editing in Safari.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-16, version 3.11.65*

I don’t know why the avg is 4.5 stars. I’m mainly writing so a recent review pops up since the main ones were from 8years ago when I downloaded. I downloaded the app because surely an interface like this would run smoother on a set app vs safari on mobile. I wanted to add photos from my phone to albums for my ongoing projects. Seamless transition to work on the project on the computer later. Nope. That simple function doesn’t exist in this app. I also can’t see my current projects within the app. Half the menu items take you to a safari popup so there’s actually no use for the app. Sad but I guess I’ll just save the space on my phone by deleting the app and just use the website in safari to upload my photos and edit on the computer. This isn’t difficult developers, so many other photo companies have this part down. 
My app review has nothing to do with the company or their products. I love the books I’ve received. This is purely about the apps lacking capabilities.

### 1/5 — App continually freezes

*2025-12-11, version 3.11.63*

I can’t make any products because the screen keeps freezing and I can’t do anything.

### 2/5 — Impossible to build a photo book

*2025-12-07, version 3.11.63*

For some reason the pictures access is only restricted to a narrow subset of photos on my phone. I’ve tried to build a story book 8 times now and I’ve now given up.

### 1/5 — Given up on order because app keeps crashing

*2025-11-22, version 3.11.63*

I’ve literally tried to create five different orders now. Your app and website are so full of bugs it is ridiculously difficult to use.
