Difficulties with Chatbook site

I had a lot of difficulty accessing the site and functions with this book compared to the previous books I had made. The assistance through the help function was useful but it took three lots of assistance to complete my book.

Helpful and Kind!

I ordered two books from about 7 years ago that I had misplaced. One of them I didn’t have access to, but I had the original order number and reached out to support, and they put it in my cart for me! Customer support was helpful and friendly. The books were pretty good quality, and I’m so happy to have these pictures and memories back. The only concern I had was that I had no shipping updates, so I was worried if they were going to arrive on time. But upon their delivery dates, they were in my mailbox, so it wasn’t a huge issue.

I had ordered two 6x6 paperback books. 10/10

12-year customer who is cancelling

I was a customer for 12 years and I will say that this used to be a great service, then they changed everything with regards to billing and auto-shipping, and now I am cancelling!
It used to be so simple and easy to use, but they tried to automate way too much, so now I am receiving books I didn't order with pictures they chose for me automatically.
On subscriptions, you now have a timeframe around which you must have your books completed, or they will just do it for you. I contacted support and was told this is just how the service is now, you can't do one-off books any longer or let your credits roll over, and were trying to sell me on the fact that this is somehow better for me! Nope, I want to pick my pictures, pick my ship date, and take my time in doing so. Now there is some super confusing credits model that makes zero sense. It might be great for others, but a fully-automated photo book service is not what I want. You don't get to charge me monthly and not give me control over what I want and when I want it. I thought we had something great going, Chatbooks, but your efforts to better monetize backfired on this long-time customer.

Hi Justin, thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry for any disappointment our updated billing policy has caused. It is not our intention to send you books that you haven't had a chance to edit. It sounds like there may be some confusion with how the new plan works. Please reach out to support@chatbooks.com so we can clarify and help you keep your printing memories!

We love Chatbooks

We love Chatbooks! The hardcover books are the perfect way to preserve memories, especially for someone who had a deep love for old school photo albums. Easy to create. I like the option to add captions and locations, and I like the collage feature to group multiple photos on a page. I do wish the photos would be larger when you group 2 or 3 on a page, but overall, I’m a huge fan of Chatbooks!

16th book and counting!

Great books, easy to make, and makes up for great travel albums. After 16 orders (more on the way!), I can safely day that the Chatbooks team is responsive and extremely helpful if there are any issues!

It was a pleasure to create my specialty books in addition to my monthly minis. However, the phone app did not allow me to edit or move pages around. I was only able to do it on my laptop and it was a pleasure on that platform. I love chatbooks and highly recommend to any family who loves pictures as much as we do.

Thanks for the feedback! You can move pages around on the app by tapping on the book, then long-pressing on a photo. once the selected photo is highlighted, simply drag and drop it to where you'd like it to go. Please reach out to support@cahtbooks.com for further assistance!

Double Charged

I was double charged- only asked for my credit card information once, yet somehow received two order numbers. Which I only noticed after my credit card directed to me to what they saw as a double charge. It makes no sense- why would I purchase two sets of 6 months for the same person's gift? Why not just go the cheaper route of one set of twelve months? Waiting on a response from Chatbooks at this point. Very concerned. I obviously don't want to involve the receiver of the gift, my MIL, as that just seems impolite & a bit tacky. Ugggh, I hope they can sort this out@

Sometimes the site was flightly and difficult to work with. Clearer directions at the beginning would be so helpful. I have done this several times and still have to do a lot of hit or miss with the different processes. Thanks for a lovely product - making it more user friendly will only help.

Thanks for letting us know, Jessica. It looks like you turned on captions, but then selected the Full/Fit layout which doesn't allow space for the caption to print. I have sent you an email and can help you get that fixed if you'd like!
