How it has changed over time
The overall rating trend shows consistent 4.6 to 4.7-star averages from late 2025 through mid-2026. A drop to 3.86 stars occurred in March 2026, linked to a cluster of negative reviews about print quality and service. Ratings recovered in April and May, reaching perfect 5-star averages. This pattern indicates a temporary issue in production or customer service that was resolved. Most users continue to return annually, reflecting a long-term positive trend.
Practical takeaways
Customers should double-check photo selections and color settings before finalizing designs, especially for high-contrast images or skin tones. Ordering early, particularly around holidays, helps avoid delivery delays. Contact support promptly if issues arise, though response times vary. Higher-tier paper options are recommended for premium quality and are consistently praised. The product remains a popular choice for annual photo gifts despite occasional quality and service issues.
