Early readers

The guilt is gone.

I've had 4,000 photos from our Japan trip sitting in my camera roll for three years. StoryFolio turned them into something I actually want to show people. I cried a little when I saw the finished book.

I made a StoryFolio book of my parents' 40th anniversary trip as a gift. My mom called me sobbing. That's a five-star review on its own.

I've tried Shutterfly twice and never finished. StoryFolio did in 12 minutes what I couldn't do in two years. The narrative it wrote is shockingly good — I barely had to change a word.
