I love the convenience of having a 1 Hour Photo nearby. However, the website and ordering process is a little outdated. You should be able to decide to add more photos without having to enter your information all over again… from the cart. Instead, you have to “go back“. I do like that. They warn you if your print may be low quality yet it’s still allows you to print it. Sometimes you don’t need the highest quality and I appreciate it let it go through! And, if I decide I want to add an additional size of the same photo, again, I have to go back wait for the photos to upload so I can select the one I want. It seems there should be a way that I can add 5 x 7 to the 4 x 6 I’ve already edited, and added to my cart. The process of having to wait for my photo library to load makes me want to just say forget it, I’ll do without Most problematic for me is that once you edit it, you can’t change your mind and go back in and edit it again. You have to start the process over by going back loading the pictures, selecting the one you want, adding it to your cart, and re-editing it. The process these days should just be very very simple. I will try to see if there’s another service nearby that I can use instead that makes it simple. That being said, my pictures came out beautifully. Thank you!
You can’t switch stores without deleting the contents of your cart, you can’t adjust quantities of photos once they are in your cart, and if you have any problem files it is a pain to figure out what they are. I’ve used the app many times and I get frustrated every time. A few times I’ve gotten an error message about one of my photos, saying the “file didn’t exist”. You can’t put your order through without removing the file, but the app uses the file name to reference the problem photo, so it is impossible to know which one it is (I do not know the file names of all the photos on my phone, who does?) It would be great if we could have the option to place the order anyway, and/or if the actual photo was displayed with the error message instead of just the file name. If you only have 5 recent photos to print this app would be ok, but over 10 and it’s a PITA, especially if the photos you need to print are farther down your camera roll or from different albums.
Waited till the last minute to prepare a poster for my son’s graduation. Ordered the pictures from Shrewsbury PA CVS last night. This morning I placed a second order but the Shrewsbury CVS wasn’t coming up on my phone so I had to order from a store 20 minutes away. Arrived at Shrewsbury to pick up order #1 at 11:20 today. No order. I also told the. About the second order and they suggested I order the other photos from Red Lion as well. So I’m in the parking lot ready to drive for an hour round trip to get what would have been nice to get right around the corner. While the local employees are outstanding - corporate needs to help your local stores have reliable equipment so they can service their customers well.
From your Phone upload your photos and have them sent to your local CVS or Walgreens Photo Partner. Enjoy prints for a cheap price in an hour of order...
