Poor print quality
June 7, 2016

I printed 100 photos from a recent vacation. I printed 100 photos with Groovebook. They all printed dark and grainy. I printed a smaller number of these same photos from the same vacation on the Shutterfly. All the same photos printed clear and bright. I wouldn't recommend Groovebook based on this experience.

Unreachable
June 3, 2016

After over a year I suddenly need a password that I don't know. There is no reset button or re- send. I emailed them and they have no record of my account. I have no number to call to cancel my account. Will be contacting my credit card to report the charges

Scam!
June 1, 2016

Don't ever get Groovebook! It is such a scam and a horrible company. I've been trying to cancel and everytime I email their support team they reply back Groovebook assistance denied. Like that the heck?! They have no phone number to call and I guess I'll just have to cancel my card and get a new one. The pictures are low quality and their app is crap. It's not user friendly and lags.

Scam
May 29, 2016

I never ordered a subscription with this Co.
There is no one to contact and no way to cancel.
Terrible dishonest practices They give a FAQ with websites that have no connection or any way to contact them. I had a charge from them on my bank statement. When I looked into who they were. There was no way to contact them.

Set aside the fact that the paper and prints are not that great, I have cancelled my account but still been billed for over 9 MONTHS! I have emailed multiple times, no response other than saying they have cancelled my account only to be billed again the same month. No way to call anyone. What a scam!

They only allow contact via email and the people responding have a hard time understanding the simplest requests. Made the mistake of reordering some books. Never got the books and after 3 emails Groovebook says they never received the order so I reordered again only to find I had been charged a month ago. I send a fourth email stating my case and I get a nonsensical response.

Very frustrating
May 26, 2016

I do not recommend groove book. The app was very frustrating, and crashed 3x while trying to select my 100 photos. While the site did say to allow ~15 days for the book to arrive, I believe mine took closer to 10, so that was nice I guess... Though I was super disappointed with the quality of the pictures. They were all dark and blurry - I don't feel like they're useable for anything... I can print through Costco photo center for 13 cents a picture (4x6) and they are high quality and ready within an hour or two. I'm not using this service again.

Horrible
May 21, 2016

I ordered a package for 8 groovebooks from QVC, super excited! Placed first order, says shipped 4/30/16, I emailed customer service they said it would arrive by 5/20/16, still NOTHING! I emailed them AGAIN this morning. As my 2nd book is ready to be created I haven't even received my first book... so cant give review on quality yet but the time frame to receive your order SUCKS! I WOULD NOT recommend this to a friend I can go to walgreens or cvs and choose photos and get them developed way easier! Also process to choose photos very hard I have to TAP picture on my phone hard to choose how many just weird and I have a Galaxy S7 phone, also to download pics takes way to long... it took my phone all night to process. Once I receive all my 8 books I WILL NEVER order again

I started with Groovebook from the very beginning and it was fabulous! Since being purchased by Shutterfly the quality has continued to decline to where I am now cancelling my subscription. Very poor quality!

I LOVE IT.
May 19, 2016

I have had groovebook since February, and I have been very satisfied. I was surprised at how many bad reviews there were, because so far I have had nothing but a good experience. My mother and I both have it, I have both accounts linked into my American Express card. Our cycle ends each month on the 17th, and we usually receive our photo albums within a week and a half. The pictures are always very clear (but I have a really good camera on my smart phone) and they are always exactly how i laid them out when uploading it. I seen this on Shark Tank and fell in love. Now that they are with shutterfly, it's even better, because we get to order the magnet with the photo as well. And that comes usually within 7 days! Definitely give groovebook a try!

Groove book SUCKS!
May 13, 2016

OMG! I ordered a book on April 12th and now it is May 13th. When i wrote to customer service, I got a response saying "please wait 15 days and you will have it". WTF! Its been a month! Groove book obviously doesn't care about customer satisfaction and I'm pretty sure they won't survive for too long. Don't even waste your time or get too excited about it - you do get what you [ay for and for 2.99, you get nothing.If i could give them no star - i would!

GROOVEBOOK SUCKS!
May 10, 2016

When I received a one year subscription for Groovebook for Christmas I was really excited, until I tried to print my first book in January. I got an error message that said there was a credit card issue. I ignored the message and forgot about printing the January book. In February, I tried to print the book again and got the same error, so sent an email to *******@groovebook.com. I thought the issue would be resolved simply, but when it wasn't, I got upset and sent an email to groovebook asking for a number to call so I could talk w/ a human... instead of getting a "canned" FAQ answer that did NOT help. I just kept getting an error that stated I needed to enter MY credit card number to resolve the problem. But, my 1 year gift subscription had already been paid for, so why does Groovebook need MY credit card number? Four emails and 4 months later, I am still trying to figure out a solution, but why should it be so difficult? Suffice it to say, that I have yet to receive a book of printed pictures and my daughter's credit card has NEVER been credited, but what the HELL... it's just money! And in my opinion, the way this outfit is being run, they're probably doing this scam to at least 100 people a day times 365 days a year... pretty soon, there won't be a Groovebook because they've stolen enough people's money so there will be no need to stay in business? Bad company, NEVER, EVER use them if you can find an alternative. Hey, Wal-Mart is a reputable business and they can get your pictures printed for almost as cheap as Groovebook and they can't get away with outright STEALING from their customers. USE GROOVEBOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK! You've been warned!

It is my closing date and I can't upload my picrures. Why is there not a phone number to contact a real person? I keep getting computer gererated responses. I need to upload today and it keeps telling me I will charged because I am uploading early. Groove Book is a great idea but hard to use and customer service is non existant!

DO NOT FALL IN TO THIS MONEY MAKER TRAP!
Will not let you submit your order when you want to. They give you a short day or two where you can submit the pictures. They do not have a phone number for customer service! They will not cancel your subscription! The photos are not great quality and pictures are not centered properly. This was a fantastic idea that was started on SHARK TANK and then sold to shutter fly. I bet the people who designed GROOVEBOOK are cringing right now!. Shutterfly, you should be ashamed of the way you are scamming people!

Problem I with a non existing order. Funds are automatically remove of checking with out order. Will not let you go back to re-order pictures you have not ordered from before. Very poor quality. Ended up receiving photos in my booklet of some one else's child. They honestly need a direct phone #. I will contact my bank to stop payment on all future orders. Very unhappy customer! Guy's your better of going to Walmart!
