Minute Photo - Print Photo Reviews

by Oicorr

Is it easy to use? Yes. Is it reliable? Nope. I placed an order for a few photos on MinutePhoto around 8am and it said my photos would be ready at ANY time after 8:57am. I walked in at 10:30am asked the girl in the front register for my pictures. She could not find anything. She told me there was no record of my order at all. I show her MinutePhoto and how I placed an order and it said ready after 8:57am. She didn’t know what to say other than sorry. I proceeded to just get on the kiosk and print the photos there. When I got home I threw the pictures away. They were terrible quality. They looked like a filter was out over them (when there wasn’t). The colors didn’t match ex. A green tree on the picture in my phone was yellow on print. My son was wearing a sweater on one and it looked like it was badly photoshopped in him. Waste of money. Then at 9pm the same day my husband goes in and the girl at the register asks if he’s here for the prints (she had just seen him in a picture). How did this even happen??? From no record to it magically popping up hours later. Ridiculous, those went in the trash as well.

First time user, and was really excited about how easy it was. Selected my photos, completed my order and it said they would be ready in an hour. Perfect, I wait for email that they’re ready. It doesn’t come… for two days. Finally I go into the store and ask what was going on. Turns out the printer had been broken for a week and they don’t know when it would be fixed. It would be nice if MinutePhoto got feedback from the store when critical equipment was down and then gave the user an alert about this when selecting their pick up locations. Hoping for better luck at Walgreens!

I am not satisfied with your APP. I placed an order with a local CVS, and upon arrival they stated that their print machine wasn’t working. I really need to have photos printed today and searched everywhere in your app to cancel the order so I could order at another CVS store; yet you don’t offer this option. I don’t want my personal photos printed at this particular CVS since I’m going elsewhere to have them printed. Please add a cancel order feature for customers? Also, your APP should have a feature to detect if a particular CVS store print machine is inoperable and provide customers with other functional local CVS stores to choose from where their print machines are functioning. This was a huge inconvenience. It’s 2 days later and my photos still haven’t been printed.

This is the easiest way that I have been able to get pictures from my phone printed quickly at a good quality from CVS. However I found there were several extra steps to uploading pictures, then selecting which ones you want to print, in addition to going through to select which sizes. Even more confusing were the suggestions to add custom magnets and alternate items mixed in with the pictures I was getting. I had to check several times to make sure I had ordered what I wanted and not any additional strange items

Well, I was ordering over 200 photos. That’s a lot at once, I know. It was for a diy gift for my 1 year wedding anniversary - that’s tomorrow.. I will say, it was really nice to be able to get pictures the same day because I forgot to order them more timely before my anniversary. But while using MinutePhoto, I have never yelled at my phone more than I have today. It crashed just about every 10 seconds. It did save my progress with my order, which I appreciate, but trying to just order them was such a big hassle. First world problems, lol. Also, the address to the store I placed my order was wrong and it took me all the way out in the middle of nowhere... frustrating. Especially because I had to go across town on my lunch to pick them up. Short story long, please know how much MinutePhoto crashes and look into that. Thank you.

I placed four separate orders and sure enough, they were all ready within an hour of placing each one so it definitely delivers there. However there are a few things regarding quality I would like to mention.
Almost all of my photos have color distortion, bleeding or blurring, and they were cropped incorrectly.
With photos that include people’s faces, the details on the faces look like they’re slightly off; as if it wasn’t aligned.
Overall, they’re acceptable quality but it definitely gives the feel that it was rushed

MinutePhoto was easy to use and the photos were beautiful. However, I paced an order and about 5 minutes after placing the order (said they would be done in an hour) I noticed half the pictures were not in the focus I had put them in. Half of the photos were cut off. So I proceeded to cancel the order. It said the order had been canceled. Then I placed the order again which all went smoothly. However, when I went to pick the photos up, they gave me both orders, the cancelled one and the new one

MinutePhoto worked great! Super easy to navigate, I was able to change my mind with sizes, deleting photos, easily kept up with my back and forth. I rated MinutePhoto 4 stars because unlike the kiosk at the store I couldn’t lighten or darken the pictures (maybe it is a possibility and I just didn’t know how to do it, however I don’t think that was the case), but I was able to easily choose the size of the picture (4X6, 6X6, etc.), zoom in and out, change the frame from portrait to landscape, choose the amount of prints per photo and see how much each picture was individually. I also liked that I don’t pay for the prints until I pick them up from the store! How great is that? I easily chose the store I wanted to pick my prints up from using a map that located the stores all around me and I tapped on the store from the map that I wanted. It then confirmed the location. Overall my first experience was great and I printed 76 pictures in total and started with 115.

Overall very satisfied with MinutePhoto. The user interface is intuitive and the photos print very quickly.

Just a couple minor issues I had when using MinutePhoto :

1. I prefer to only allow apps to access the photos I want to use by selecting them. MinutePhoto gives you a chance to select photos when you first open it, which is helpful, but after that I couldn’t figure out how get back to the selection screen when I wanted to select more. I ended up just allowing access to all my photos using the settings but I would have preferred to be able to go in and change my selections.

2. The store locations on the map are not always correct when you go to select a store to pick up at. My usual CVS was shown 2 streets over from where it’s actually located. I thought MinutePhoto didn’t have my store at first. However, when I selected an alternative store it turned out to be my usual store, just shown in the wrong location.

Again, these were both minor issues and in the end did not make MinutePhoto unusable. Overall, this is a good app and I will be using it in the future.

I am a first time user. It was easy up to the point of knowing whether or not my photos were actually already placed in the store queue for printing. I thought they were, but I had not been notified by MinutePhoto re progress. So I went back into MinutePhoto and started clicking buttons at the bottom and discovered I had to select the 6 photos I had uploaded into the account. I would have given it 5 stars, but for this shortcoming. Also, the buttons at bottom of page did not readily describe their functions. Final test will be whether the photos are ready at time stated! Now that I have sort of stumbled along this first time, I will use it more.

I had selected only 2 photos to be downloaded on MinutePhoto . I did not want my entire album to be downloaded. But it was poor resolution. So I needed to download better images to print with better resolution but I couldn’t access my album. I had to delete MinutePhoto and re-install it to add images. Is there a way to access images during the buying process without having to allow access at the beginning of installing MinutePhoto ? I couldn’t find a way to do that. Therefore, I gave 4 stars.

by Whatilikeaboutsundays

MinutePhoto is user friendly and super convenient. With the push of a few buttons I’m able to pick up my pictures at a local CVS in an hour or less. My only complaint is that each local CVS store that I have used have automated systems that continue call me long after my photos have been picked up and paid for reminding me that my pictures are there. I wonder where the disconnect is? Other than the annoying reminder phone calls I would recommend using this to quickly print quality pictures.

by Ayeitsme02

It was quick and easy to use. My CVS has not so great photo kiosks so this made it so much easier to print out a lot of photos. I could quickly pick the pictures I wanted, crop them and choose a quantity and order! The convenience is great as well, MinutePhoto tells you a good time to pick up the pictures you ordered and has them ready and freshly printed. MinutePhoto also sends an email and text when your photos are ready so you don’t have to guess. HIGHLY recommend if you go to CVS.

After spending hours transferring pictures from my phone to my laptop to order pictures online, I realized I missed a few. So I decided to download MinutePhoto to try it out. I just ordered 8 more pictures in seconds! If only I’d thought to use MinutePhoto , I could’ve saved so much time and frustration. Looking forward to seeing if there’s any difference in how they turn out from the 2 different methods of ordering,

Super super easy they didn’t make it complicated it wasn’t issues with errors with my photos like the rest of the apps like Walgreens and Walmart they have all kinds of!’s and issues with they can’t do this photo in that photo without it looking like this or that does CVS is really really good and it was super super easy and they made it super easy by asking me if I want to go back or double clicker triple click because I am doing posters three different posters for my ex-husband‘s funeral and they just made it extremely easy by me not having to click numerous times to do duplicates or anything I just went in there clicked one time with the pictures that I wanted chose exactly what size I wanted and then they asked me how many duplicates I wanted at the end it was a super easy process I definitely recommend them

by Phone Number Confused

MinutePhoto was great until I put in my phone number. I typed it in as I would usually do with dashes. It kept giving me an error message that I needed a valid phone number. I finally figured out I was supposed to type it in with no spaces or dashes!! As far as I could tell, there were no instructions telling you to do that. It was very stressful thinking that there was no way for me to get my pictures printed. I even called the store, and they couldn’t tell me what was wrong. Luckily I finally tried something that worked.

I mean how much easier can it get when you can just select the photos you want to print right from your phone’s camera roll send them through MinutePhoto, the store gets a notification, and within 20 min minutes your prints are ready. Not only is it convenient, but MinutePhoto is easy to navigate, and it saves so much time because you don’t have to be in the store to place your order. So happy that I walked into CVS and discovered this service being available in place of the kiosks being out of order.

MinutePhoto is pretty good. They print your pictures fast ( within the hour) and the quality of the picture is as good as the picture you send. So if your picture is poorly lit then your picture will be dark. Because the are printing them fast they do not make any adjustments. Just be careful when selecting a store. Sometimes MinutePhoto has a had time figuring out where you are and then pulling up all the CVS’s around you. Even when you search by name the town you are in. That is my only complaint but as far as printing straight from your phone to the store and having the prints in your hand in less than an hour! I’m happy!

by Ceceshu

Okay so I have been putting off ordering photos for so long because I was waiting to place a big order through big places like vistaprint or Shutterfly. Then I found MinutePhoto and realized I could just pick my photos, print them at the closest cvs store, and then pick them up within an hour most often sooner than that! I ended up printing so many pictures as Christmas gifts this year and for such a great price! MinutePhoto was extremely user friendly and convenient.
I went into the cvs store and told the employees about how happy I was with MinutePhoto and they loved it too and said keep watch for lots of deals! They give discounts all the time! 5 stars, 10/10 definitely recommend.

I tried using the CVS Pharmacy app to order photos and it got to the end and locked up on me and I could not go past it. Another app I downloaded would not allow me to view Albums which is where I stored specific photos I wanted printed. MinutePhoto was perfect! It allowed me to view the Album in my phone I wanted to select the photos from and easily crop any that were different ratios. Very easy to locate the store you want the order to be sent to as well. Definitely recommend MinutePhoto over all others! Thank you for developing a simple, easy to use tool for ordering photos at CVS.

by Ugh!!!!!!!,

MinutePhoto is very slow and unresponsive for iPad. The photo screen will freeze and not scroll. The history tab is unresponsive and delayed. The whole process is slow and it have to order one picture at a time. There is also no way to delete a photo if I accidentally tag a photo. Just fix MinutePhoto for iPad. And why can’t I submit the review without creating a nickname. I’m even using bogus made up nicknames to submit the review and am told each nickname has been used? Really? How is this possible?

by Cam1194

I ordered 29 photos and only got 19 of them, paying full price for all 29 at pick up. Not sure if it’s a glitch in MinutePhoto or this CVS on Centre St, Brockton, but when I called she told me to just re-submit the 10 I’m missing and pick them up. Hopefully there will be no issues. I also emailed the minute photo email given if any issues that is attached to my email, which I had clearly, and have no got a response since last night.

by New Ipod Touch User

MinutePhoto is easy to use and to submit an order. The only thing I’d like to see is a way to navigate to a certain folder on an iPad, rather then having to look through all of the hundreds of photos I have in order to choose what I want. If MinutePhoto could navigate to a certain folder in the iPad photos, then I could create a folder with just the photos I wanted printed, and the process would be a lot faster and easier.

Had great customer service at CVS in Burleson. Went in and they helped me with my pictures and then explained I can download their app and order pictures from home. I was very happy about that since it can take time going through pictures.

by Jonathankimmm

So easy and simple to use MinutePhoto even a caveman could do it. You can choose the photos from your phone at home and it lets you see how the photo will print out on each size which is useful if you want the photos to be a certain size like 2x2

by Mrshernana

I always had a hard time making prints but MinutePhoto finally made it easy for me.. I get to print directly from my phone.. it takes literally like 15 minutes for them to be ready for pick up and I run into the store pay for them and be on my way. So convenient. And picture quality is excellent.

by Skinnydog79

Easy to upload, crop, etc. Fast service so I can pick up in short notice. Great to bring photos to someone or an area that doesn't have fast access to digital photos or internet (or any access), like bringing to someone in hospital to cheer them up.

by LaughingRhoda

I’ve been using this to print my collage art and I’m very impressed with the quality of prints. MinutePhoto could be improved with an easier way to choose photos when using their seasonal items but other than that, I’m pretty happy. Thank you!

by Rachelynn2012

I always forget to print photos - this makes it simple if you just need some photos printed and quickly but always forget! The printing quality has been great from CVS, I’ve only done a small photos as of yet. It would be great if other photo purchasing options like the photo gift cube could be added to MinutePhoto , but for now I can do things like that online.

by AnthonyM55

Very good!!! I love. the best thing is that I can be touring and the photos I take of my phone at the moment I send them to some CVS that I am on my way and I pick them up ... they are like almost instant photos ... SUPER!

It’s not time consuming and it’s very simple to use and the fact that you can have your photos printed out within an hour at CVS is super amazing. I just recently got MinutePhoto and had photos done at CVS and when I picked them up I was shocked because the quality was astonishingly great and it was just what I had ordered.

The prices are cheap and they have several deals for certain days that you can use at checkout which is much appreciated as by the time you place your order it’s barely anything.

Plus it came in handy for my granddaughter's project for school.

Would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Much more user friendly than the cvs full app with photo option. MinutePhoto allows you to easily edit the photo to size and even it costs a few more cents per photo, the convenience and ease of use is worth it to me.
