While I appreciated the concept and what initially appeared to be a seamless way to create a photo book, I ultimately encountered numerous frustrating issues with the collage pages and was very disappointed with the final product.
Following the instructions, I added my selected photos to each page and chose a collage layout. The system automatically placed the images, which felt ingenious and promised a simple, efficient, and quick way to build the book. However, the software did not format the pictures properly. Several images were cut off, and some overlapped incorrectly with others. Although I attempted to adjust them, the layout often reverted back to its original, incorrect placement.
My biggest concern was the review process. The preview pages were displayed so small that I did not notice duplicate images bleeding onto adjacent pages. I did not upload these duplicates, so I cannot explain how they appeared. Unfortunately, because the review view was difficult to assess accurately, these errors made it into the printed product.
In my opinion, the platform still has significant room for improvement before it can be considered fully reliable. I was also disappointed with the company’s response to my feedback. While I had already acknowledged missing the errors during review, the issue was attributed solely to user error. Although a discounted reprint was offered, the additional cost—nearly $100 CAD—did not feel reasonable given the circumstances.
I will say the team seemed to truly care about my satisfaction and I was, in the end, offered a refund. I have yet to receive it but there is no reason to believe it will not be received. I did very much appreciate their understanding that the end product was not as expected nor satisfactory.
Overall, while the concept is promising, the execution and quality control need improvement. Based on this experience, I would be hesitant to use this company again. I would want to have an improved final review process before committing to my purchase.
