Gorgeous photobook! I have used chatbooks a couple of times now to create custom comic books with my art, and they have always turned out great. However, I do wish I could control the size and posi... See more

Perfect Gift

We just gave our book to a friend for a big birthday. It was filled with wonderful memoirs. This is the perfect present.

App crashes, pricing issues, and long customer service delays

In future I won’t be using Chatbooks for various reasons. One isolated issue I may of still returned. First, I wouldn’t recommend trying to last minute your book. Luckily, I started 6 months in advance and worked on it periodically because the app kept crashing, would freeze, etc. every 2-3 minutes (or less!) the upgraded cover I wanted wouldn’t load, it reflected in my cart as added price wise but it was blank on the preview so I wanted to ensure with a customer service rep that it was showing that way on their end and it was. They worked with the tech team to fix this issue but it took days. At this point, I went ahead and designed my own and uploaded it. The price didn’t reflect and so I reached out to customer service again. It took several days to fix the issue and delayed my order by 4-5 days. They did give me a resolution but the frustrations overall make me not want to order in the future. The main reason being the app crashing constantly while trying to work on my project.

Editing to add a response to Chatbooks, the app was updated (this is something I checked myself…with every hurdle along the way I checked every possible issue before contacting because I am tech savvy and can troubleshoot fairly well myself before having to reach out to customer service) I work from home and have great WiFi and was only ever working on it from my home. The initial cover issue was on a weekend, but continued until THURSDAY. Monday-Thursday is not limited weekend customer service, it took 4 days of week day customer service to fix a what-should-of-been an easy fix.

I wouldn't even give 1 star if I was allowed.
I decided Chatbooks wasn't what I thought it was so asked for a refund and to close my account. Lacey from Chatbooks told me I had to close my account first and then she would arrange the refund.
I do this and then get an email from Alicia, the Account Specialist, and she says because I have closed my account, I can't get refund!
SCAM!

Reply from Chatbooks

I'm really sorry for the confusion. After reviewing the conversation with Lacey, It looks like she stated to cancel the subscription, not delete the account. Unfortunately, once an account is deleted, all payment and personal information is wiped from the system to stay in accordance with privacy and data laws, making it impossible to provide a refund. Thank you for your understanding.

HORRIBLE experience for large books

I spent MONTHS making my baby's 1st year book and in the end pictures wouldn't load after collages were made and no one at Chatbooks could help. SO unbelievably disappointed not to mention hours of my time wasted.
Ended up just deleted half the book so I could at least print the first few months that I worked so hard on.

I love doing chatbooks with you. It is easy to move my layouts over to your site, either using my computer or cell phone. I journal on every page thus preserving my family's history.

Above and beyond!

I needed to cancel my order to make adjustments to my book...which TECHNICALLY they don't allow. When I reached out via chat, they were on a break for their company anniversary- but they got back to me via text the next day and not only allowed me to cancel my order, but offered me a coupon code to use when I resubmitted. I was so pleasantly surprised! I've been consistently impressed with their personable approach to customer service. Chatbooks always delivers!

Shipped faster than promised!

I created a Chatbook for my aunt for her birthday and used your quickest and most expensive shipping but it would still be late. I received a notification it would get there earlier than originally quoted- still late. When I got off the phone with her on her birthday, I had another notification that it was delivered! On her birthday! She loved it!
Thank you!

The look and feel of the book is so professional. There is something magic about the cover material and the paper quality.
I do mostly black and white photography and it comes out looking Black and white not purple.
