Will be missed!
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.

Yearbook
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
Glitchy, not user friendly
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

Not up to Shutterfly’s Standards
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.

Needs native Pad support
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.

Clunky, but has some abilities others don’t
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.

A big help!
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!

Could be better
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.

Latest Update Ruined Calendar
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!

Glitchy app
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.

Great web tool, sub par app
I really love Shutterfly’s shared site tool. I’ve been using it for several years to keep my daughters Girl Scout troop organized. It’s not a perfect fit, but it really is a great tool to keep parents informed and information at their fingertips. Helps with communication and overall success of our troop.
Unfortunately the app sometimes create major issues… It is so buggy and it doesn’t feel like it has been updated in forever, it isn’t accurate and doesn’t reflect the web tool. I’ve had numerous parents say that they don’t get updates, say that they enter information that never shows up on the web tool…
The syncing between the web tool and the app is awful and therefore I’m getting close to just telling everyone not to use the app. Shutterfly, please fix this app… It really is helpful when it’s working and your shared sites are so great for youth activities.
I love being able to post all of the pictures from a given event and my parents can see them print them and do whatever they need to with them… But this app is just bad.

Thank God for Shutterfly.
I Just Wish Shutterfly was back on the ROKU TV Devices. It is one of the Greatest Websites to Store Pictures for Future Reference to Later make up Picture Album Photo Books, add pictures to all kind of items, etc. Please stay the same way and do not let other websites purchase you. Disabled Vietnam Military Veteran. What a great internet website to upload pictures for Future use and other Relatives and Friends to use pictures as they wish.

First time user
When teams are ghosting each-other on the “Book”, it caused us huge coms problems. Missed games, long night drives too late and tired to prepare cook and clean before getting everyone to bed, missing players, forfeited games cause someone got the Covid sniffles and missed test day at school 12 days ago but can’t play the last game of the tournament,…..kind of coms with coach and team leaders and players and super parent fans. We’re just trying to coordinate a non-profit community game. share ideas central to an easy to use, you’re already staring at your phone, how much did this cost?,. Easy, centralized communication. Coach was very responsive. Purchased beautiful treasured photos taken by the catchers Mom. Parents of young athletes wishing to be informed on a secure platform is a must. We didn’t win all our games but we were never the reason one couldn’t be played because of miscommunication.

Incomplete & Lost some key functions
The app is worthless when trying to communicate with a classroom.
The pages do not include all the Information on the regular share site. Most parents prefer the convenience of the app but then miss key details, like volunteer information.
The app became less user friendly with the recent update. You can no longer scroll through photos in an album by side swiping. Instead each photo much be opened and closed. Photo uploading has become a much slower process as well. The concept is fantastic and a great convenience, but the latest update was a step in the wrong direction.

Share Site is convenient
I like the fact that you can swiftly download an album to Shutterfly with one click and in a matter of seconds the photos are available. Just realized that his lately. I used to download a group of 5-15 photos at a time and it took so long. However, I also just got an iPhone 13 and things are fast.
Longtime user (10 years)
Love the share sites and the app is OK. But this season has been a cluster! Availability function doesn’t work. Families put in their availability and it doesn’t save. Although the desktop version shows their availability. So basically the app is useless because to check everyone’s availability I have to go on to desktop site. And all the families have to do the same. I’ve complained about it multiple times and If it’s not fixed I’ll have to switch to a competitor next season. A shame.

Busy Mom
I really appreciate the reminders and the groups updates from the share site. I feel like I am kept up to date with everything with my daughters Girl Scout group and her dance group. I would not be able to keep up with phone calls or group texts. The Share Site keeps me updated!
Needs improvement
Love the convenience and concept of this. Have used it for years and recently there are many glitches. Can’t see all of my sites on the app. This one is the most annoying. I refresh and force close. Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t. Second most annoying is that it duplicates the pictures. I put new pics up everyday. On Tuesday when I upload app duplicates Monday’s pics. By Friday I have 5 copies of Monday’s pics... this is only on my app not on website or any other users app so it is NOT me duplicating them. Super annoying. Can’t add pictures to an album. Can’t see current members. Doesn’t function unless you’re on WiFi which is also annoying. I do love the convenience and hope they can work out these glitches soon.

Crashes trying to view photos
On my old iPhone and new iPhone 12, Share Sites freezes and then crashes every time I try to view photos from my daughter’s class share site. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling but it hasn’t helped. Upgrading iPhones didn’t solve it. And moving to iOS 14 didn’t solve it. Now no longer able to view photos from phone.
Additionally, the app is incompatible with Dark Mode. Anything written in the journal is just a solid black rectangle. I have to switch off dark mode to make the text visible.

Worst update ever
I’ve been using this app for 5 years...it was always a bit clunky but generally just fine for sharing pictures with family. They recently removed the functionality that you could pick a folder from which to upload your photos...I used to save my favorites then do a quick upload every few weeks to keep family up to date. Now you can only choose all photos to upload from...meaning I have to search through every photo (again) to upload the best ones. It doesn’t even let you see which ones are favorited on your phone. Such a terrible user experience!! Please revert this change ASAP. I don’t have the patience to use this app with the new update and will be taking my photo sharing elsewhere if this is not reverted.
