Use one of the other thousands of companies that offer this service. ### 1/5 — Problems adding text *2024-01-03, version 2.9.1* Unfortunately, there are issues with the app and prevent text on the spine. I have made 100s of books on my Mac but this is the first through the app. The app is very limited and has far fewer options. I called customer services who assured me they would get back to me to discuss the problem with adding text on the spine of the book and never heard anything. ### 3/5 — New web site issues *2023-11-04, version 2.9.1* I am a long term customer and have completed many books, however the trouble started with very little information that the web site was being updated so I spent hours completing my book only to find out at the end that everything I had prepared was lost. Help was a non starter which was very disappointing. I kept being told that my password was wrong so when I did complete my book I couldn’t order or pay for it? After three days of trying, I now have completed, ordered and paid. I am very disappointed, saddened and some what annoyed and will probably look for another site in the future. I will say though that I am pleased with the quality of my books and that’s why I’m disappointed. ### 4/5 — A couple of issues *2023-02-22, version 2.8.5* First you seem to be only able to add pages at the end - frustrating. Then when I realised I need to set up an account, after setting up the album, the IOS system mislaid it? Fortunately this eventually appeared again after 5-10 mininutes of anguish thinking I might have to start again. I liked being able to drag and drop photos and being able to change the page layout. Allow insertion of pages and stop any IOS glitches and I would be extremely happy with the designer interface. Hope I am as happy with the album! ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2022-10-06, version 2.8.5* Absolutely love this company. I’ve been using this company to create wedding photo books for quite a few years now, and every time they deliver a fantastic, professional product. Highly recommend Bob Books. ### 2/5 — Almost impossible with iOS *2022-04-11, version 2.8.5* This should be a great app but extremely glitchy on iOS, on both my iPad and iPhone. Keep having to log in and out as the book I’m attempting to create either freezes or doesn’t load. Can’t always view the top of the page, even when minimising the page view. It has taken me hours to get this far and I still can’t finish the book as it won’t load properly for me to edit! On the point of giving up, which is a shame as there are great reviews for the quality of these books. Maybe better if you have a laptop or non-iOS system? ### 5/5 — Great photo books *2021-05-20, version 2.8.5* I put together a photo book of my sons pictures every year. App is easy to use and like that I can start a book in January and add to it throughout the year until it’s ready to print at the end of the year. ### 5/5 — Kudos to Bob’s Books *2020-11-28* I’ve created almost one dozen Bob’s Books in the past 2 years. I usually use the Classic, hard back lay flat format and the result is always great.staff respond to questions very quickly. Thank you Bob’s Books Continuing to use Bob’s Books as my go to photo book Company. There are many book formats from which to choose. I love the Lay Flat Books and would recommend highlighting that option. Thank You again. ### 4/5 — So quick and easy *2020-08-26, version 2.8.3* Bobs book app is such an easy tool to use. I love how fast I can make a photo book from my phone. Layouts are great. Quality and colour excellent. Only wish there were a couple more layout options for portrait shots and I REALLY wish I could add a title on the spine.🙏🏻🙏🏻 then I wouldn’t need to go anywhere else for my photobooks. ### 1/5 — Poor update *2020-07-07, version 2.8.2* Latest update seems to have stopped the app working - hope for an update to fix it soon. ## Frequently asked questions about Photo Books by Bob Books ### What is this app?
