Motif: Imprime tus recuerdos

Very easy to use with many excellent features

So many problems placing the order. If I hadn’t already put in many hours making my photo book, I never would have placed the order. No technical support.

I am a 73 year old Marine and I Like things to be squared away! Not being a techie at the same time I enjoy utilizing “MOTIF” to Create photo memories for my Family and Friend’s… the process and layout possibilities are great and this may be a special gift to our NEW NEIGHBOR…. “Semper fi, Jerry”

Interface is clunky. There was no way to delete pages. If you change anything, you have to always go back to the beginning of your photo library. When I first logged in, it gave me a promo code but didn’t save it anywhere so by the time I finished the project, I had forgotten it.

I used motif before mimeo bought it and loved it. However, this year, I just spent hours building a photobook for my husband’s 60th birthday and the purchase process has failed five times…gets stuck uploading. I’m on solid internet and have been in chat with support three times since I started this project. If you create a book in the mobile app, you can’t open it on your MacBook in iPhoto. The app and the MacBook are separate and don’t talk to each other. Apparently my photobook on my phone is too big to upload and it has failed five times the mimeo help just says “we value your feedback”. It appears that they have a few kinks to work out. I will not use Motif again and recommend that others use caution. Update - changed from 1 to 3 stars. I was able to process the order from my iPad, it arrived earlier than expected and is beautiful. However the mobile app and the OS app are not compatible, you can’t go back and forth between mobile device and laptop.

I found the web site app and all the platforms hard to use and not intuitive to what I was trying to accomplish.

Ive been missing the ability to make photo books, I have 7 more to do, since Apple stopped. Motif is great, quality is superb. Still trying to figure out a couple of details with the program but the results so far have been fantastic! Thank you, Monica

Since apple’s elimination of the in-app photo book creation feature, Mimeo has been a good alternative. However, after having made several projects throughout the years, Mimeo discontinued my account without notifying me, making it almost impossible to purchase projects that I created 😢. (Note: can’t buy your projects without an account: no buy as guest option). In addition, I encountered issues accessing photos saved to my iPhone (using 14 Pro Max), but found work arounds to resolve this. Also discovered that Mimeo:Print Your memories & Mimeo Photo are the same exact app…. Outside of that, it’s simple to use and somewhat convenient 👍

Calendar customization is intuitive and changes/edits are easy. It would be beneficial if you could order a reduced cost product to review/edit before making a commitment to order multiple calendars. Disappointed that Motif did not offer a Black Friday or cyber Monday deal or at least offer a quantity discount (I ordered 28 calendars) and/or free shipping. Satisfied with the quality of the calendars I have ordered previously.

Back when Apple was doing print products, this was the company that was printing them. The quality of the products is truly wonderful; the photos are sharp, colors are great, pages feel thick and high quality. The iPad app could use some love. It’s jam packed with features, and really allows you to customize your photo book just the way you want it, but there are some annoying UI things as well. Any time you move from one view to another, the photo library you are working with resets to showing all the photos available; while you can select to just see the unplaced photos, you have to keep selecting this view over and over and over again. When using an already created album of photos as the source, it automatically adds pages based on the default number of pages for that design, so if you pick a book design with 2-3 photos per page and have 200 photos you want in the book, it adds an extra 60 pages and bumps the cost up to like $200 bucks. I then had to manually delete each extra page I didn’t need. The sign in and purchase pages didn’t register with iPadOS as being auto-fillable fields, so I had to manually copy and paste in my user name, pw, and then later CC information. Also, I couldn’t use ApplePay because the total it gave for ApplePay didn’t include my discount code, meaning the cost to use ApplePay would have been 35% higher. I would totally give this app 5 stars if it worked as well as the Photos plug in. I’ll probably keep using that.
