Print Photo - photo print app Reviews

by Jewels0901

I uploaded a big group of pictures, but it continued to say it was uploading for over an hour and a half. I called the store where they were sent for help and was on hold for upwards of 30 minutes. They said they couldn’t do anything and finally gave me a national 877 number to call to speak with the tech experts. When I called them, they were sadly no help either. I was told the only way for me to get my pictures printed was to delete PrintPhoto completely and start over from square one—hours of work lost. I finally drove over and went into the store to see if there was anything they could do for me—possibly connect my phone directly to the kiosk to save all the work I’d put in. Minutes later, a very helpful employee with magical phone fingers, assisted me to reorder my photos through PrintPhoto . Fingers crossed it actually worked this time and in an hour from now I’ll have all 200 prints freshly printed in my hands and ready for their picture frame homes.

After a couple of years of ordering photos and having them delivered to my home, that option is now gone.
I spent a couple of hours uploading and editing photos and when it came time to checkout, no option for home delivery - only an option to select the nearest Walgreens which is another town away!!!
I’ve tried and tried and even went to the web page where there the option of even uploading photos from my camera roll was unable to select it. That button was greyed out! What has happened? Shame. And last time I ordered directly from Walgreens online my order was immediately canceled without reason and I never received my refund.
So disappointed that the entire look and layout of the Picta app has changed completely from when I just used and ordered from in October. I’ll have to use another company.

I use PrintPhoto often. I find it easy to use and convenient. However, I just placed an order and immediately realized I ordered the wrong size. It had not been sent to the printer yet. I looked all over PrintPhoto for a ‘cancel order’ option with no luck. Called the store to try and cancel. They said my photos haven’t been printed but that I couldn’t cancel. (I don’t think the person I talked to actually worked in the print department. They seemed confused.) I guess my only option is to not pick them up and not pay for them like a jerk. I hate they they are wasting photos and ink without me paying for them, but I feel like I tried my best to warn them. Wish PrintPhoto had a ‘cancel’ option if the photos haven’t been printed yet.

Update:
Pictarine followed up with me shortly after I posted this review and honored the refund I requested from last month. I have changed this review from one star to three. The final service was good, but the print quality was not acceptable and it practically took a campaign of emails, form submissions, and finally a negative review to attract their attention. I’m turning to their competition in hopes of a better experience.

Original review:
I ordered a batch of prints in May, but the prints that came in the mail were low in saturation with a sickly yellow tint. I sent an email to “Rose” with attachments of the picture along with the source image. No response after two weeks, so I followed up using the help feature on PrintPhoto . Still no response. I then sent multiple follow-up emails to my request confirmation message. It’s been a month and I haven’t seen a response from Pictarine. They don’t have a phone number listed, so I tried searching for businesses under the same name. The closest match only went to robotic voicemail. Pictarine, if you see this I am willing to engage and solve the issue. But please do not ignore me and hope that I will give up, because you still have my money. I want my refund.

I ordered a set of prints from PrintPhoto and when I went to Walgreens to pick it up they said they had no record of the order and that PrintPhoto I was using was a scam and had no affiliation with Walgreens.
I was told the only way to get prints from a Walgreens is to order off the Walgreens website or the Walgreens app. I went to three different locations and they also told me the same thing.
The next day I received an email saying my order was ready and when I went back to the original store, I was able to pick it up no problem 🤣PrintPhoto was great and easy to use but maybe they should let Walgreen‘s employees know about the partnership between Walgreens and PrintPhoto 😬 I figured I would leave a review just in case anyone is facing the same problem. PrintPhoto does work!
But because the order is from a third-party, they are not able to look up your order number in store.

I was very happy to be able to use PrintPhoto to quickly and easily select, send, and pick up copies of my Family Christmas photo within an hour.
However the quality was definitely lacking - the photo prints were much darker than I had anticipated, and they lacked clean, fine details. All of which I worked so hard on in postproduction - to make sure the details and the lighting I desired would show up in my prints.
I had already printed copies of this same image on my own somewhere else - which came out beautifully and exactly as I expected. So I was extremely disappointed when Walgreens was incapable of delivering the same quality of photo prints in the same amount of time, for more $$.
Unfortunately I can’t say this hasn’t been a reoccurring issue every single time I have ordered prints from any Walgreens over the past 10 years. So disappointing.

First if you don’t select to allow all photos from the beginning you can’t add any unless you pre-created albums and it doesn’t let you do it after the fact so you have to uninstall and reinstall and then select it or go to your settings and enable it on your print app.
Also it doesn’t seem to allow you to add photos from google photos if you’re using an iPhone.
Easy to use once you get these figured out.
Oh and last thing it doesn’t allow you to pre-pay for it when you check out . it goes directly to placing your order and doesn’t say anything about payment.

PrintPhoto was super easy to use. My only suggestion would be this: instead of accessing the photos in order of the date they were taken, access the photos in the order they were saved in your photo app. Sometimes I can’t remember when I took a photo, but I’ll just add it to my photo app so it’s at the very top when I go in there to look. I did that to print a few photos today. But when I went to the Walgreen’s app to select them to print, I couldn’t find them there...because Walgreen’s sorts them by date of when they were taken. I finally just went back to my photo app and made them favorites so they were easier to access on the Walgreen’s app. Other than that, PrintPhoto was great!

Convenient and fast. They were ready within minutes after uploading them.

++recommendation for PrintPhoto :
It would be nice if PrintPhoto let you select which folder you want to select pictures from. It seems to read the photo stream and had the pictures in order of date taken rather than the order of which they were in the folder. Kind of took a while to scroll through them all to find the pictures I was looking for.
Also, if you change your mind and want to delete one of the pictures that you selected, you have to go back and scroll through all the pictures to find it to deselect it. It would be nice to be able to hit delete at the edit portion.

Today was the fifth time in a month that I used PrintPhoto! Now that there is a new baby in the house, I am constantly taking pictures – actually, every single day!!! Excellent app; excellent quality; exceptionally convenient!!

I entered the Pictarine app to print to Walgreens. After uploading the photos and selecting where I’d like to pick them up, only 15 min later I was informed that they were ready! 15 min this was crazy! I went there and an envelope under my name was ready just waiting for me to pick up. Camera clerk was very friendly, plus the price was fair and the quality was very good. In short, it was a very efficient service. I plan to use it again every time I need.

PrintPhoto is so much better then the regular Walgreens app for photos. I can actually crop and move the images to exactly how I want them to print and the whole process only takes 20 min!! After trying to use the Walgreens version multiple times and having nothing happen except PrintPhoto crashing over and over, I finally decided to try PrintPhoto and WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!!!! PrintPhoto is super user friendly and only took 30 seconds to complete my order. This is THE BEST photo print app!

The entire process was very convenient. I ordered a photo for a Christmas gift on my way home from work. It literally took less than a minute to place the order. Although the wait time showed as up to 2 hours, I received confirmation my print was ready in less than 15 minutes. I arrived at the store and the Photo Manager was unable to find my photo because I had selected the wrong location. She advised me to resubmit with the right store and in a few minutes had me out the door with my print. Great way to order prints in a hurry. I will definitely be back.

This is such a great, easy and really helpful app. 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 Walgreens is super amazing. I just recently got PrintPhoto and had photos done at Walgreens and when I picked them up I was shocked because the quality was great and it was just what I had ordered. I love how you can make posters, greeting cards, collages and other different size photos and gift accessories. The prices are cheap and they constantly give you promo codes and they have several deals for certain days that you can use at checkout which is much appreciated bc by the time you place your order it’s barely anything. I’ve ordered several different size photos and collages and I’ve paid right at $1.43 bc they always have codes and deals. PrintPhoto is amazing and the photos come out in great quality. I’ve yet to encounter any problems with PrintPhoto so far. My go to app if I’m needing photos for something.

Over the past few years I have been using PrintPhoto because it makes it easy to get my photos from my iPhone printed out, I’m able to also make your mother Day, Father’s Day, birthday cards for people without having to do a whole lot of effort besides get the card made walk over to there and pay for them and have them in my hands within minutes. Instead of spending for five hours on a car you can have a card already made for you and less time than it could to make an actual decent card. Love PrintPhoto and would recommend it

I was in a pinch when my Shutterfly order didn’t come in time for my sons first birthday. I tried printing the pics at home but they just looked terrible. My parents live down the street from a Walgreens so I thought to try them and searched for their photo app. Found this one and it was so easy to use. Uploaded my photos, got a 10% off coupon and received a notification when they started printing. Within 20 minutes, I got another notification telling me they’re ready for pickup! Thank you for making this so easy and quick.

Forget Shutterfly! I’m going with PrintPhoto now.

I had a few vacation photos to print, yes, the phone got old! Went off to a brand new CVS, could not get them to print - employee told me they just turn the machine on do not know how to work it. Went to Target, two machines one out of order, the other very dirty looking. Could not get it to work. Tried both of these on phone at home, to pick up at store - no luck. Found Walgreens’ app sent photos off from home in first try. Went to pick them up and uploaded some enlargements while there. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff. They told me they could print my enlargements right then - no need to return. Very pleased to say the least! Walgreens will be my photo stop for sure!

I went to the store in the morning. We tried to download my pictures to the kiosk. I had a manager & the photo tech try to help me to no avail.
The manager suggested that I go home & try PrintPhoto on my iPad. What a great suggestion. I was ready to give up.
Using the Walgreens photo print 1 hour app, I was able to download 100 pictures. I received an email when the photos were ready (& yes 1 hour).
When I went to the store, my prints were great. The photo tech (who didn’t know about the trouble I had earlier) had me look at the prints. She asked how many I had. She then produced a coupon for me. I paid less than 1/2 the price quoted on line.
Way to go! Great customer service.

Just used PrintPhoto for the first time and it was so incredibly easy to use and convenient. I just selected the photos I wanted to print, this sizes, and made sure the part of the pics I wanted printed would be printed in the photo. PrintPhoto told you prices of everything you were ordering. When you go to submit your order it even will tell you available coupons to pick from for your order. It helped me save 25% on my order. It was easy to select my location that I wanted to pick up at. After placing my order, I received an email with the estimated time that my order would be ready. Basically a perfect user friendly app experience! I highly recommend using PrintPhoto instead of going into the store and doing it on the machine.

I was ordering pictures for the first time from a camera SD card and didn’t know how or what to do. I had found my old camera at home with irreplaceable pictures on it. It had pictures of my son who had passed away in May of 2021 at the age of 29, so I wanted to be very careful not to mess anything up. It was very emotional for me to go through and order pictures. The lady cashier was so kind she got me some Kleenex, had kind words, and just went above and beyond her job duties to help me. When I came back to pick up my pictures she paid for them out of her own pocket and gave me a hug. My son would have been 30 just a couple of weeks ago. What she did meant the world to me. I wish I could remember her name because Walgreens needs to know what a beautiful jewel that they have working for them. God is good all the time.

I received an email about two weeks ago from Walgreens on How easy it was to process my photos. Well, The opportunity to that happened on Tuesday. While driving I got an idea and needed certain pictures right away. I saw the Walgreens and decided to see if that email was right. Pictures were on my IPhone and I didn’t know if they could help me out.
Surprise, they could - No problem. They had cords available for me to use and they helped me out whenever I had a question and I had them but the clerk was extremely nice and helpful.

She told me To get the Walgreens App and it would be easy from home. I found a Walgreens Photo App an hour later at home and it was easy doing it at my house. Picked up those pictures when they said they would be ready. I bought cards and placed the pictures in them and got them to the mailbox in time for pick up. I was a Happy Camper Thanks to Walgreens Photo Department.

Spent far too long going through the zillions of pictures on my phone and choosing which ones/what sizes etc to print-was a pretty easy process so when I got a message that my order had been submitted and would be at my neighborhood Walgreens this morning at 7 I was excited to see them...I stopped after work at 5:30, and was told my order had never been received...they thought maybe it’d gone to a different location, I showed them my message that showed their address & my order details, but alas it was not to be. They said PrintPhoto is not affiliated with Walgreens and has resulted in lots of troubles. Ugh, a big waste of time and energy...it looks like this works for many—-but I’m unfortunately not one of them. Sigh (& ugh).

I wish I knew a long time ago about your app and that you can download your pictures from home then pick them up!!! The times I went to the store and needed help with the kiosk, EVERYONE was helpful. That’s why I keep going back to Walgreens. Now it’s even easier. On my last order the gentleman who helped me at the store was so patient with helping me to straighten out my order. So courteous. I am definitely going to check out the different options you have especially the photo books. Thank you especially to the gentleman who helped me on Friday. And thank you to Walgreens!! 😊

I today went in to Walgreens and use the computer 🖥 to print some pictures that i needed for a project and for the first time it didn’t show up my pictures using the changing cable connected from my iPhone to the computer so I couldn’t print anything, luckily there are great costumer services to help out and informed me about PrintPhoto to order pictures from there to print and pick up at store or get them delivered to you . It was way easier to use and way faster I end up printing what I needed in minutes! Thank you ! I appreciate it a lot !

by Kathy Never Again

PrintPhoto is truly amazing! It is so helpful and easy! All you have to do it select a picture and choose your location ! I love that you don’t have to enter in long credit card information and you’re birthday, and all the stuff that is personal and shouldn’t be needed ! And it’s the cheapest thing ever if you don’t have printer or copier ❤️I don’t really like the little icon on PrintPhoto though I think it could be changed unfortunately!🥵I use PrintPhoto sometimes and I wish I’d had some other features too that apply to a younger user 💘

I recently went on a trip to Colorado and wanted to get those pictures printed as well as get some other pictures to frame for Christmas gifts. All in all, I spent less than two hours picking out pictures and picking them up at my local Walgreen’s. I even had a little magnet made for my Grandmother. I appreciated the notifications as my pictures were received, printed and ready for pick-up. The pictures are of excellent quality and the magnet is so cute! I will definitely continue using this service!

I do not have a printer, so went to Walgreens photo department and inquired about getting some snapshot prints (like in the old days) to send to my mom in the nursing home. Voila! They showed me PrintPhoto so that I could pick pictures from my phone. I was able to pick the sizes, even make a little collage of pictures to send to her. It was exactly what I wanted. Not only that, I was able to get them in an hour or less, and get them in the mail the same day. Oh, and the prints were flawless! Couldn’t be happier!

Just this last week, I realized that I had some great pictures of friends that they might appreciate having. I have some pretty nice editing capabilities with apps on my phone, so I added some vignettes, changed the lighting a bit and added some stars to one. I finished and placed my order at about 2am.
Woke up in the morning and the prints were ready. I ordered some nice frames and they look wonderful! That’s about half my Christmas shopping done...... and I only live a mile from Walgreens.
