DH and I saw this on Shark Tank last night and I signed up today! Basically it's an app (iPhone and Android) that allows you to select up to 100 photos a month from your smartphone, and they then send you a book with 100 perforated 4x6 photos for $2.99 (INCLUDES shipping)!
I'm wondering how the photo quality is but I decided to try it out because I thought it would be a fun treat for the grandparents to receive in the mail each month.

Thumbs down for me, the quality is really bad. But my LO likes the 4 books I made.

@autumnlove: Oh really? That's a bummer, I guess I'll reevaluate after the first month 
I was really excited about it!

I saw this too and while I think the idea is awesome I assumed the quality had to be crap based in how cheap it was.

I signed up for this while I was on maternity leave. I think it was great for the price and I liked getting prints from my phone pics, which I normally never end up printing. The quality isn't awesome but you do get what you pay for. I really liked the convenience of it. I cancelled after I went back to work because I wasn't taking as many photos each month to fill a book.

I have been getting groove book every month for a year, and I really like it! Yes, the photo quality may not be perfect, but from my iPhone, many look good enough to frame to me. If nothing else, it is a cheap way to get prints of the tons of photos I take of LO each month. Also, I have one sent to my ILs and they love being able to see LO and what she was up to that month.

Too bad the quality doesn't seem to be good because that's an awesome idea!

I have it and enjoy it! Like pp, the quality isn't the greatest, but it's certainly not the worst I've seen. I love the price and how easy it is to not only print a bunch of the zillion of photos I have on my phone, as well as the ease of getting photos to all four grandparents. They love it!! I am now tempted to stop the monthly service and just get books made a la mark Cuban and mr. Wonderful. Excited to see what they roll out!

Glad to see some people still think it's worth it! I dont take many non-iphone pics so it would be nice to have an easy way to print my phone photos! I ordered iphone photos through shutterfly when lo was young and was really disappointed in the quality so I have low expectations!
