Awesome idea, horrible service. I bought my first book, perfect, but as I was working on the second one it just said "syncing," it's been a month and it's still syncing. My only alternative is to erase all the project and restart it. I have send emails and contacted them, I even said on their survey the issue had not been resolved and... you guessed it, it's still syncing! Not using them again.

I tried several times to create a photo book. I couldn't get the photos to sync and/or download every time. It didn't matter if I used my internet or data. I tried deleting my book and starting again. I will be deleting this app and look for something else.

I used this app to make a couple of hardcover photo books. Easy app to navigate. Allows you to edit photos after you upload them. It's not exactly cheap the quality is very high. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
