### 5/5 — Will be missed!

*2023-01-10, version 1.22.9*

I rely on the share sites a lot.  I refer to the posts I’ve had during the year and chose which ones I want for the Christmas cards.  I make several versions and rely on the albums I’ve posted throughout the year.  It also provides updates on family events that people don’t know about.  I will certainly miss it.

### 5/5 — Yearbook

*2023-01-08, version 1.22.9*

This share site has been an easy way for sharing family pictures during the yearly events of my family.  I make a yearly yearbook for those special occasions and recording them.  Viewing each page created is my gift to my family

### 3/5 — Glitchy, not user friendly

*2023-01-02, version 1.21.6*

I’m using this for a class group, and it’s not user friendly. I’m trying to add pictures from a class party and it doesn’t have an option to find the albums from my phone, which I have a lot of. One time, The available albums that were shown were the rarely opened ones from the past. Then another time there were no albums to select from. It doesn’t let me add pictures to the share site class app that another mom started. I’m not a dinosaur either, an elder millennial. Frustrating and I end up spending a lot of time trying to finagle with it than actually using it

### 3/5 — Not up to Shutterfly’s Standards

*2022-09-01, version 1.22.6*

When I update my ShareSites on the website, everything looks great. The links are clickable and everything works great. When it is sent to the app, everything gets jumbled up. You can’t read the message board. The links that embed in the messages are not clickable. And, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make changes to what is seen in the app. Documents and links don’t show. Also, what is the videos part of the app for? I love Shutterfly and Shutterfly share sites and I have been using them for years – but this app needs some help.

### 3/5 — Needs native Pad support

*2022-07-16, version 1.22.5*

Just to be clear, this is an iPhone app, that can run on an iPad, but the experience is pretty dismal.  You can have one iOS binary support iPhone and iPad natively.  It’s not hard.  This would provide your iPad users a much better UX experience.  I can’t even run this app in landscape mode on my iPad.  Only portrait.  Sad…

Otherwise functionality is ok.  It can use a UX designers input.

It shouldn’t be hard to do.  If you need, I can write it for you.

### 3/5 — Clunky, but has some abilities others don’t

*2022-06-10, version 1.22.3*

Uploading pics in the app is tedious, have to tap each pic individually to select, would be nice to be able to select a range.
The app doesn’t even use the Album order that is setup on website. I took the time to organize my Albums into a logical order, but they become hard to find from the app cuz they are random, or only based on ‘last updated’. 
You can create Albums from the app, but cannot assign a thumbnail pic, & cannot organize pics.

### 5/5 — A big help!

*2022-06-09, version 1.22.3*

I’m a camp counselor for 8 weeks during the summer. I take a lot of photos of the campers, which do to privacy rules had to be sent individually to parents. That took so much effort and time! 
I researched the best photo share sites and Shutterfly was recommended by teachers. I liked the fact that one can write a blog describing what happened each day and upload 100s of photos quickly and easily, placing them in albums. Photos can be tagged and labeled. 
It was also easy to invite the parents to join my photo site- you just needed to know their preferred email.
I’ve had nothing but positive comments from the parents. I am very happy I found this site!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2022-05-01, version 1.22.3*

I’ve been using this app for years and it has improved a lot though still lacking. I’ve never had this happen, but this year the calendar suddenly stopped showing the correct dates. Everything was off for the last 2 weeks of the softball season and I had to resort to sending individual messages for everything.
The messages can’t be formatted. It changes the format you start with to a continuous string of sentences so it’s useless.
I reached out about the calendar issue and have yet to hear a response.
Great idea, but still so many issues that create more work if you’re using it for an activity with schedules and changes.
Better for a family site or something that doesn’t need frequent and timely communication.

### 2/5 — Latest Update Ruined Calendar

*2022-04-20, version 1.22.2*

The app was glitchy to begin with but somewhat functional. Many parents are unable to update availability for games through the ap and they don’t see updated schedule changes. Even with those frustrations l, we were making it work by sending separate emails (more work on our end). Now, with the latest update, the calendar and dates are all wrong which will further confuse player’s parents. Please fix this issue asap!

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2022-04-19, version 1.22.2*

It worked ok at first then came the frustrations.  Unable to use certain features I once could was how it started.  Then unable to upload pictures, this happened to several people in our group not just me.  My final frustration is now the calendar section is unusable!  The dates don’t line up correctly with the days of the week so trying to figure out what is actually scheduled on a day is difficult.  Adding an event is next to impossible.  The calendar issue is also an issue for more than just me.  Wasn’t thrilled with the app to begin with but now I really can’t stand it.  Will be looking at a new one for our group soon.
