1 Hour Photo Reviews

If I wasn’t desperate, I would have said forget it! I went through selecting my pics via 1HourPhoto ...started with over 50. But as I’m uploading them, it’s constantly saying cannot find picture. There is no way to tell which picture is holding up the upload...so I’m trying to figure out and delete them from my order because it cancels out the entire upload! Which is great to get to 45 out of 50 and then hit this error and Boom...starting over. So I started with trying to order 50 prints and ultimately the order that successfully uploaded had 11!

very excited about 1HourPhoto initially as I uploaded and customized an order for my local CVS to print but having not received a confirmation email within a few hours I decided to actually go to the CVS where I discovered they don’t print photos I think 1HourPhoto should have adequate communication to its printer retailers to communicate to the customers who spend their time preparing an order and now can’t retrieve the order to send to another competent retailer in this world of technology it’s this kind of technology that should be laid upon the ash heep of time wasting gadgets and widgets.

I ordered $90 worth of photos. Several of the 5x7 pictures were printed on 4x6 paper cutting off several people. We had to go to store 4 separate times after being called that order was ready when it wasn’t. The fourth time was to correct the 5x7 photos. They said there was no way to go through each photo to find the one printed incorrectly. I had to get back on 1HourPhoto and spend another $6.00 to print out 2 of the pictures needed for tomorrow morning. 8 of the pictures are still on 4x6. Because I don’t want to spend another $25 to reprint them. Very frustrating.

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 1HourPhoto 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 1HourPhoto 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 1HourPhoto 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.

I always use 1HourPhoto for Walgreens pick up. On December 28 I decided to choose Walmart as my pick up destination. Did not pick up my pictures within 30 days… and Walmart’s policy is apparently throw away peoples pictures within 30 days if not picked up. I have been trying to contact 1 Hour Photo through email two times now and have not received one back yet. I am very upset that they have not called me back emailed me back or anything. they definitely need a customer service number! I am unsure if they will be able to reprint my order without the pictures because now all of my pictures are deleted off my phone as I thought they were at Walmart to pick up. These pictures are of my son growing up and now I can’t get that back.

1HourPhoto gets the job done if you need to WHAMO print a photo, on your phone camera roll, completely as is. 1HourPhoto does not let you edit the photo, not even a simple crop or black and white filter. It cannot access shared albums on the cloud- so you’re out of luck if you wanted to go in & print photos you haven’t actually saved to your camera roll yet. It’s a profoundly basic platform. It is, at its core, efficient at pumping out what is already there. Leaves much to be desired, and is so lacking in creativity I don’t mind waiting more than one hour OR driving to a further pharmacy to tweak the prints a little bit for the most ideal outcome.

1HourPhoto is so frustrating because I want to love it but it does not work half the time! The fact that after you placed the order it makes it so you can’t go a review your order is ridiculous! I’ve gone to Walgreens not screen shot my order review and they didn’t believe i had placed One. Now sitting in Walgreens again with them not getting my order for a late Mother’s Day gift... thankfully the lady let me place it again in front of her and it worked right away! Idk my review is good and bad. It’s not the best but sometimes it works but you could possibly send photos and never find them in a store..

Taking 2 stars off for...
1) pick up notification came over 27 hours after I placed my order. I had to call my local CVS after 4 hours of waiting for the promised 1 hour pick-up notification, to find out if my prints ever came out. Spent 30 minutes on hold. Notification e-mail came the next day...
2) You have no idea a) how much your prints will each cost you until the very last step of the ordering process and b) how the photos will look like. I tried to print a quote which would have looked fine if printed horizontally. But 1HourPhoto doesn't give any print options besides size and doesn't show previews, so you are going in blind.

Still giving it 3 stars for ease of use and the ability to place photo orders directly from my phone.

This is extremely convenient way to upload photos into 1HourPhoto from your phone and have a stack of them ready pretty quickly. Sometimes there is confusion when we go to pick up - they can’t find the order for example. The photo colors are sometimes a little off and worst of all sometimes the crop is bad. For the most part they are good tho.

Love it!!! Quick and easy to use. I see some folks complain about available options to change the photos but let's be real here. If you are wanting that kind of photo the why are you using a phone or tablet and an app? Why aren't you using a DSLR camera and taking the sd card to the store and tweeting them there? Like I said quick and easy to use no complaints here!!! Thanks

It literally took me less than 3 minutes to download 1HourPhoto , choose my photos and my store, and complete my order. Talk about a straightforward, simple, app that finally just does what you want and doesn’t redirect you with every single press of a button. Great job to the creators and to the designer/designers of the platform. Thanks

I have used there services at 3 different stores and using 1HourPhoto is consistently working. I haven’t had issues of misplacement of my prints. It is simple and easy that it feels unreal. 1HourPhoto , again, is simple and doesn’t have many customizations when the image doesn’t fit (so be aware). All in all, I like it’s simplicity and consistent service. Good app.

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.

I spent over 3 hours trying to get pictures from my phone to my computer... had to ‘extract’ and put into folders which then couldn’t be ‘found’ in said computer! :{
Then I found the advice that I could download 1HourPhoto and send them right from my phone. It was done in less than 1 minute!!! Form downloading 1HourPhoto to choosing photos to completing my order. So easy!!!

I love 1HourPhoto. It is super user-friendly. I love the concept of having printed photos from my phone ready for pick-up in less than a hour. My only request: Send an alert to my phone when the printing is complete (often I go to the store after 60 minutes and still have to wait 10 minutes or more because the job isn’t complete).

I’ve been using 1HourPhoto for the past 3yrs & this by far is the simplest app to use.
Keep in mind that some of the fb screenshots will effect how the picture will actually come out. Sometimes if I try blowing up just a piece of the picture ONLY the center of the picture will actually be blown up even though I just cropped a specific section. Trial & error & overall this is the quickest & easiest app to use im happy with it…

I have had success using 1HourPhoto to get my photos printed. It is always been a quick turnaround. However, I do wish I could download from my google photos/drive app instead of just the albums on my phone. Also, it would be great if it had some sort of alert to let you know if the photo quality is going to be blurry, etc. Overall though it is one of the easiest/quickest ways to get your pictures printed from your phone.

1HourPhoto is so easy to use! I love printing pictures but always used Shutterfly or target photo. They stopped being convenient and I found myself struggling to get pictures printed through those outlets as they were a hassle. I went looking for an app and found this one and I will never use another way to print pictures! You can print to Target, Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens within minutes. And you can print three different sizes to these locations too! I highly recommend!!!

It’s a bad uploading process. I’ll be notified that a file can’t be located but it doesn’t show me which one is causing the issue, it just gives me an indecipherable file name after taking an inordinate amount of time to attempt the upload in the first place. I just spent 20 minutes trying to upload 12 photos, and will end up getting 7 printed due to the errors. Also slow, and I wasn’t notified when a printer at a store stopped working - I went to the store 3 times in a week to pickup photos and every time they had a different explanation for why my photos weren’t available.

Needed to get passport photos for myself and my husband QUICK! Took pictures at home at 7:30 AM and picked up the pictures by 8:15I received a notification that the photos were ready at 8:06 AM! This technology is wonderful! Went straight to file my application for my passport right afterwards. I would highly recommend and both sets cost less than $1 at CVS! They even offered to cut the pictures and put them in a little folder to protect them!
