Cherish Your Memories with Groovebook

Groovebook is a cheap, easy way to get photos off your phone and into your hands. For $2.99, you get 100 photos in a 4.5-inch by 6.5-inch book once a month. No hassles, no worries, just photos.

 

Groovebook is a Shutterfly offshoot that offers a simple photo book without all the bells and whistles of a normal Shutterfly album. You don’t have to spend hours uploading and downloading, making the layout perfect. All you have to do is select your favorite photos.

 

Groovebook works by installing an app on your phone, then pulling photos from your camera roll. Then you select from 40 to 100 of your favorite photos once a month. If you choose less than 100, Groovebook will fill the empty slots with duplicates. There is no difference in price for selecting more or less photos. Finally a photo book ships to your house within 10–12 days.

 

The photos are glossy and perforated, so that they can be easily removed from the album. But they work as well in an album as singles. Groovebook is a great way for travelers to print an album of their trip. It’s an especially cool idea for travelers who are on extended trips: An album will be sent to your home every month you are away, and by the time you get back all your memories will be waiting for you.

 

Groovebook is not customizable (beyond selecting the photos) and it is not a photo-editing service. Some users have had trouble finding imported or downloaded photos that are not in their camera roll. What Groovebook offers is is a simple, straightforward way to print. And a cool idea for busy travelers.
