Love it

I take so many photos and Recently has been a dream for making hard copies without having stacks of crummy drugstore photos. The process is simple, and the results are beautiful.

TAKES FOREVER!!!

I thought it would be quick. Guess u was wrong!! If u want to wait 3 hours however, this app is for you 😤

Best!

User friendly and directly from phone- great quality paper and print - been using monthly for more then a decade ***

Five Stars! A Perfect Replacement for Groovebook

I’ve been searching for a good replacement for porting my phone photos into a physical photo album ever since Shutterfly shut down Groovebook — and I finally found it with Recently!

The app is beautifully designed: the UI is clean, intuitive, and modern without feeling overcomplicated. It makes selecting, arranging, and ordering albums so simple that it actually feels fun rather than like another task. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the experience effortless.

What I love most is how it captures that same spirit I missed from Groovebook — taking everyday moments off my phone and into a tangible, high-quality format. The albums themselves look amazing, and the whole process from photo selection to checkout is seamless

Photo are badly displayed

The app is going for “easy” and in the process creates books that are badly formatted. I have two horizontal photos and instead of stacking them they are squished to the top. There’s no cropping or fitting them, just get what you get, and you can’t edit the pages.
