### 4/5 — Excellent but photos in photo search too small

*2025-06-13, version 6.36.0*

This app is wonderful.  I already did one book, purchased twice. The IT people are quite responsive.  One day, I thought I had lost the entire new book I was working on and the team answered kindly and quickly several times in a row.   

One suggestion, as many people who work on these photo books are older as their families might not have the time, may I suggest that the photo search display much bigger pictures.  Just like the ones in iPad photos.  These are minuscule.  Even a well seing person could not make a difference between almost similar photos (like the best smile of three photos, for example).  I have to get my magnifier along with my glasses for it to work.  I could go much faster.  This is what I am dreading when working with this app.  

I would do much books if this was fixed…I am sure I am not the only one.  The app people and us could greatly benefit!

Love your app.  So easy to use.  Love what I can do for my family with it!

### 5/5 — First-time customer now repeat-customer

*2024-12-23, version 6.35.5*

I’ve never written a review on the App Store before, but I have to for this. I’ve never used SimplePrints and I stumbled upon it at random one day searching for a photo album app. First, the app is very easy to use. Second, I had an issue adding my address at checkout and the staff promptly emailed me (on a Sunday!) and did it for me. Third, when the album was submitted they reviewed the project and let me know about some issues before proceeding to print and allowed me to make adjustments. The final product was perfect and I’m very impressed. I will be a repeat customer and I will definitely be recommending this app to other people for their projects!

### 5/5 — Best Service, Best Quality

*2024-12-19, version 6.35.5*

I have been a Simple Prints customer for 8 years or so. I have never been disappointed with either quality or service. 
I use a third-party collage app to make my photos or text into images and then simply upload them to the SimplePrints app. 
In the Simple Prints App, I use the QR code feature for videos a lot. I take a screenshot of the code, crop it, and add it to the photo or collage in the third-party app and then upload it to Simple Prints. Really easy and I love it. 
I have made Simple Prints books for all sorts of things in addition to family photo books with videos. 
For example, I have made genealogical family histories with text and photographs of documentation; cookbooks with text, photos, and videos; history booklets for fundraisers; and catalogs of family heirlooms. 
Their cloud storage also works really well. I have never lost any of my work. 
As far as service goes, they respond to emails in the blink of an eye, and I love it when I get contacted immediately if I have a duplicate photo somewhere or if they find a mistake I’ve made.
The few times I’ve had a small problem (corners crunched up during shipping, for example), they have kindly replaced the damaged book. They have also upgraded shipping to a faster delivery whenever they have a delay on their side. 
It’s a great company.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2024-11-27, version 6.35.5*

I use Simple Prints often and create beautiful books for my children and grandchildren every year, throughout the year. It’s easy to use, made with quality, and arrives quickly. Thank you Simple Prints! Sue

### 4/5 — Art photos

*2024-11-21, version 6.35.5*

Very easy to use and hopefully good prints.

### 5/5 — Wow! Superb product, great service

*2024-11-19, version 6.35.5*

A friend told me about simple prints and having had less than stellar results with a company that sounds like butterfly I gave it a whirl. Night and day. The reproduction was crystal clear, the layout easy to navigate for this retired lady and I made a keepsake of all the flowers I saw on my quarantine solo walls these past months. I am thrilled to find you and will for-with be spending many hours curating trips taken to Ireland etc back when we could travel. I am really happy with your company and I wish you continued success. And the disneyesque touch of calling your customer reps Happiness Ambassadors makes me smile, big time Anne Sutherland Montreal

### 5/5 — Help

*2024-11-04, version 6.35.3*

Thank you for contacting me to let me know that there were blank pages! Yikes ! I would have been crushed not being able to fix that !

### 5/5 — Excellent product

*2024-11-02, version 6.35.3*

For the past three years, I’ve ordered books for family members of family vacation time and have been thoroughly pleased with the finished product. Everyone has enjoyed the quality of the pictures with all the great memories of a family vacation.

### 5/5 — Mo

*2024-10-30*

I took my first family vacation in June to Europe with my daughter, her husband and my two grandkids, 6 and 10. It was so glorious that we decided to make it a tradition. I tried to make a surprise photo book of our trip with several companies before landing on Simple Prints. It was the most user friendly. I am 73 and not that computer savvy. I worked a long time on it and finally finished. It was hard for me but they helped me along the way. I sent in the finished product and ordered 2 books. They arrived and had a few small errors. I was distraught but this wonderful company allowed me to make the corrections at no charge for two new books. I cannot say enough good things about their customer service and product. They will continue to have my business until I can’t travel anymore. Truly a great company.

### 5/5 — Book for Christmas presents

*2024-10-29, version 6.35.2*

I ordered 3 hard bound books and I couldn’t be happier!! I know my kids will treasure them for years. The pictures turned out wonderful!! Now I’m ordering calendars with all the family dates for each one!

### 5/5 — All the good times

*2024-09-06, version 6.35.1*

All my memories of the last years have been printed in these beautiful albums and we often look at them and are reminded of all the good times we’ve had nothing like a good album to make you relive beautiful moments. 
Thank you 
Simple Prints

### 5/5 — Amazing and wonderful

### 5/5 — After I Receive my Beautiful Books!!

*2024-08-30, version 6.35.0*

### 5/5 — Gifts of memories

*2024-08-24, version 6.34.8*

Every time we travel with other friends or family I alway make a book to send as a gift afterwards. Everyone love them and it’s a wonderful surprise when they receive it!

### 5/5 — I love Simple Prints!!

*2024-08-18, version 6.34.8*

It is so easy and fun to create an album of wonderful memories with Simple Prints!! The book is a beautiful keepsake of fun times!! And, I can now clear the photos off of my iPhone!!! How perfect is that?! Thank you, Simple Prints!!

### 5/5 — I LOVE Simple Prints

*2024-08-09*

Years ago I searched for a company to make photo books.  Manywere overwhelming with technology.
 
My NYC daughter-in-law told me she made summer vacationphotobooks for her daughters through Simple Prints.
 
I immediately liked the page layout options for multiple photos.
I like being able to control what’s seen or cropped in a photo.  If it’s a great photo you can give it a whole page.
If it’s an experience or story with multiple photos, you can collage them in a layout of up to 9 photos on a page.  This provides lots of flexibility.
Adding a caption at the bottom of a page can help to tell the story and include significant detail: location, names, dates, etc. for reference.
 
There are options for designing the cover of the book and a photo can now be added to the back of the book - for a nice ending and use of that space.
The prints are clear and the colors bright.  Care is taken to put the book together.   It is a beautiful finished product that I’m proud to give as a gift.
 
If I get stuck I email the amazing “Happiness Ambassadors”(Customer Service) and get an immediate response that someone will get back to me. Kym and Linsie are always polite, professional, and So helpful with details!!!!
 
Last week I submitted a book to print.  I quickly received an email saying that they had found some errors and pulled the book from print….with the option of a full refund.  The errors were that I had a duplicate photo, inadvertently inserted a colored mat,….and they asked if I had ordered 2 of the same book by mistake.  I so appreciated their catching these mistakes before the book went to print…..and checking that I really wanted two of the same project.
 
I’ve made many books now and I’m planning t assemble more– including a family history book.  
 
Simple Prints is simply the Best!!!  You can trust the consistent quality of their work!

### 5/5 — Beautiful Books

*2024-08-05, version 6.34.8*

I have been creating books using Simple Prints for nine years now. The books are beautiful and quality outstanding. Additionally, the customer service is wonderful. I highly recommend this company!

### 1/5 — Calendars

*2025-01-09, version 6.35.5*

Calendars aren’t listed in the catalog page even though it says you can make them. Thanks

### 1/5 — Buggy to the point it’s unusable

*2024-06-13, version 6.34.7*

I’ve made 10+ photo albums on this app and will no longer use it. It randomly drops pages you’ve created and the servers act slow and overloaded. Maybe it got too popular. All I know is that I won’t use it again. It’s a waste of time and effort.

### 1/5 — Do not buy. I received an empty box

*2024-02-03, version 6.34.2*

I placed an album order recently and they sent an empty box

### 1/5 — Quality not what it use to be

*2023-12-01, version 6.34.2*

High cost, quality has become more poor over the last few years. My last damaged order (replacement sent damaged too) was the last time I was ever going to buy from this company. However, to try and finish a series of photo books I had done over the years, I reluctantly ordered again. Showed up damaged and poor quality

### 1/5 — Photos not saving/loading

*2023-11-27, version 6.34.2*

I was so excited about this app and couldn't wait to get started! Sadly I've had nothing but trouble since the beginning. I don't like that the photos you download get automatically put on pages so that if you want to edit the pages, you have to go in and remove each picture...which took a bit to figure out. I don't like that you can't rearrange the pages or photos into a different order. 

But the main issue was that after every page I finished, it would look okay at first and then when I clicked on the page again, it would say that the photo couldn't load or wasn't saved. Every page! I'm about to give up because I have no idea how to fix this problem. :(

### 1/5 — BEWARE… dynamic pricing

*2022-11-14, version 6.31.1*

Product pricing is a total scam. Products on the homepage instantly increased 20% when I first created an account. I tabbed away from the app, came back to SimplePrints app and the prices increased by 20%. Dishonest business practice. Deleting the app, will not order from here.

### 1/5 — Invasion of privacy, steals data

*2022-11-04, version 6.31.1*

Why does this app need to know other purchases I make from other apps on my phone? Why is Apple allowing companies to steal our data. I’m tired of all these companies charging me for their product and stealing my information.  Don’t use this app if you care about privacy.

### 1/5 — Too many issues with app

*2021-09-28*

I have used the app in 2017 to make a 20-30 page photo book and I thought I’d use it again to make a larger book of our most recent trip. This time I had 1000+ pictures to sort through and the app just wasn’t up to it. Some of the issues were just inconveniences as the iPad app not allowing landscape view except when previewing the book, to bigger issues like app constantly crashing and rearranging my photos on the shelf bar on top when I reopen the app, having no way to multi select pics on the shelf bar to get rid of them when you reach the max, making me drag each one to the trash can. Sometimes the pics just come back when you restart the app making it reach the limit again or sometimes even after dragging and deleting 100’s of pictures and getting rid of pages from the book itself, it still tells me I’ve reached my 500 limit. I don’t know if it’s storing them in memory but randomly it’ll allow me to add more time to time until the proble, starts all over again. After days of fighting with the app and reaching a bit over 200 pages, I’m throwing in the towel.

**Developer response:** Hi Wafflekone, I'm very sorry to hear you had trouble with the app. This sounds very unusual and not at all like how Simpleprints is intended to work. If you could please reach out to our support team at hello@simpleprints.com, we'd be happy to take a look with our technicians and see if we can determine what was causing the problem for you and help you finish your book.

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2025-12-15, version 6.36.9*

The team of individuals working to make these projects a reality are nothing short of incredible. Not only was the book excellent quality but the people behind the scenes really impressed me. Their follow up to ensure I had things correct happened a few times. Kind reminder emails to review changes were greatly appreciated. I really loved the outcome and will definitely use this app again and would highly recommend them.

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-12-13, version 6.36.9*

We’ve made many memory books for family & friends. They are a quality product, highly recommend 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Best Photo App

*2025-12-12, version 6.36.9*

I've created and ordered over 14 memory albums through the SimplePrints app. It's super easy to upload pics and customize it just the way you want! I had a hiccup with one album, totally my fault, but customer support was on it, and got it sorted out quickly. Final product was absolutely beautiful! Top-notch customer service! I'm obsessed with this app! I highly recommend SimplePrints to anyone looking to treasure those memories.

### 5/5 — Customer Service

*2025-11-27, version 6.36.9*

Great Customer Service I have bought many💕

### 5/5 — The very best! Easiest, and most fun!

*2025-09-30, version 6.36.5*

Still overwhelmed!
3 rd photo book so far! 
Just received our Europe Vacation Album and the colors are sparkling and vibrant. Customer service is responsive and aims to please.
The interface is so much easier than any other photo website I’ve seen. Great company to work with!😊

### 5/5 — My books

*2025-08-25, version 6.36.2*

Over the years I probably have 30 or more I’ve created. All of them are special! I’ve suggested size options of fonts and apparently they took my suggestion because I can now change the font!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Don’t leave your photos in your phone.

*2025-07-16, version 6.36.2*

I’ve been using SimplePrints to create annual photo books that capture all the highlights of each year. I start a new project every January and add photos to it throughout the year. When the new year begins, I order the finished book and start a fresh one. It’s become a tradition my friends and family really enjoy—they love flipping through the pages. I’m so happy to have these memories preserved in such a beautiful and organized way.

### 5/5 — Photobook

*2025-07-10, version 6.36.2*

I received my Photo Book yesterday and I was so incredibly impressed with the outcome !  This is the first time I used SimplePrints and it most definitely won’t be the last time . They exceeded my expectations and I can’t praise this company enough for quality of the prints and how quickly I received the parcel to my small Northern Arctic community :) thank you again !

### 5/5 — Grandkids

*2025-04-07, version 6.35.7*

I have purchased graduation books for my past 3 grandchildren that graduated. I love these memory books.  They are of excellent quality! ♥️♥️💙
