How it has changed over time

The website improved in design and usability over time, with users reporting better layout tools and faster photo access. The app declined in reliability, with recent reviews highlighting worsening performance. The shift from a functional tool to a glitchy experience became a recurring theme, especially in 2026, when ratings dropped after a high point in late 2025. The core ordering process remains functional for many users. Some still find value in the platform’s creative options.

Practical takeaways

For best results, use the website instead of the app for complex projects. Save progress frequently and verify all edits are preserved before finalizing. Some promotions and gift cards do not work as advertised. Collaboration features are limited and unreliable when creating a photo book with others. Excessive packaging has been reported, even for small orders, contributing to environmental impact.
