What are the differences between the website Photo Books and the new in-app Photo Store?

Tinybeans is now proud to offer two distinct printing experiences.

Our classic Photo Book experience is still available via our website. Books can be auto-generated with a variety of page layouts based on a date range in your Tinybeans journal. These books focus on a clean, streamlined photo book experience which puts your memories front and center and faithfully represents the timeline of your family's journey. Web-ordered books include single-image, four-image, text-only, and calendar page layouts.

The in-app Photo Store is focused on offering the greatest possible customization options with a far wider variety of styles, formats, and layouts. Choose from 12 basic styles and select the size and orientation of your liking. Then, filter photos by date range or child profile and hand-select which photos you want included in the book. Our system will create a beautiful draft for you which is fully customizable - you can change page layouts, swap photos, add text, change background colors, and more! You can also create beautiful annual Calendars using your Tinybeans photos via the in-app Photo Store!

A few things to keep in mind:

The website Photo Books and in-app Photo Store are completely separate systems. Books created via the website cannot be ordered via the app and vice versa.
Right now, drafts and previously ordered books are not saved via the in-app Photo Store. Books must be completed and ordered at the time of creation. Drafts and previous orders are available via the website Photo Books experience.
For the in-app Photo Store, only the photos selected during initial setup can be included in your final book. You cannot add additional photos after the book has been created. We hope to improve this soon. By contrast: for the website Photo Books experience, all photos added to your journal are available for inclusion in your books at any given time during the creation process.
The books ordered via the new in-app Photo Store will be noticeably different from previous books ordered via the website Photo Books experience. If you've ordered books with us before and want a matching set, we'd suggest sticking with the website experience.
