I am reasonably computer competent. Wanted one of these for a few photos from my family 85th birthday celebration.
Have been told they are simple to use.........
So, spent a good couple hours filling one in, etc. got to end and pressed to make book and received a message saying that I have made some 'small errors' which need correcting before it can be done. However, nowhere does it say what these errors are.
Perhaps I need to use a different company which is more helpful.
Anyone used these and have any suggestions.

I make a photo book for each of my 3 AC every year as their Christmas gift. They have quite a collection of them now and everyone enjoys going back through the memories.

I use whichever company has the best offer that year - I honestly think they all go to the same place as they all arrive from Germany.

The "errors" are usually because a low pixel photo has been used too large to look good. They usually provide a list of these and you can then click on those and make them smaller. It might be worth going through and zooming in on each page - if any photos look pixelated you could reduce them in size.

They are very good. You can get 45 photos free every month and just pay around £4 for postage. I have made several photo books for the family

I've done quite a few photo books and agree with Luckygirl13 about the errors.
After being unhappy with the colours from Freeprints and Snapfish, I now use Photobox who are better and provided great customer service when a delivery was damaged in transit. They often have price reductions on photobooks.
