Over time, customer sentiment has remained consistently positive, with average ratings hovering around 4.5 stars from late 2025 through mid-2026, peaking at 4.59 stars in December 2025.

Still, the overwhelming majority of users continue to view ifolor calendars as a reliable and emotionally meaningful way to preserve memories.

Common complaints
Common complaints center on declining product quality, particularly the thinning of paper and cardboard in table calendars, which some users say has worsened over time. Delivery delays are another recurring issue, with several customers reporting that their calendars were promised by specific dates, often around Christmas, but never arrived. A few users also noted technical flaws, such as pages sticking together or missing hole punches that prevent the calendar from flipping properly. These problems are especially frustrating when the calendar is intended as a gift with a fixed deadline.

How it has changed over time
Over the past year, customer sentiment has shown a slight decline in quality perception, despite stable ratings. Early 2025 reviews were mostly positive, but by late 2025 and early 2026, complaints about material quality and outdated design templates began to increase. The peak in December 2025, with 191 reviews at 4.59 stars, reflects high demand during the holiday season, but also a concentration of delivery-related issues. Since then, ratings have stabilized around 4.5 stars, suggesting that while the core experience remains strong, recent changes have introduced new points of dissatisfaction.

Practical takeaways
For customers considering a photo calendar from ifolor, the key takeaways are clear: the design process is simple and the print quality is generally excellent. However, those planning to use the calendar as a gift should order well in advance to avoid delivery delays. Users should also be aware that some product materials have become thinner over time, and the design options remain limited and unchanged for years. If a more modern look or advanced layout features like collage printing are important, customers may want to explore alternatives or wait for future updates.
