Edited by Chris Stipe, Maria Quinney
Ready to stop wasting hours making photo books? Maybe you don't have the time to make photo books? Well, now you can get automatic photo books using the Chatbooks app today! So whether you're a busy mom or dad, you never have to worry about losing a digital copy of those precious moments in your life. That's right - the Chatbooks app takes the work out of having to make photo books by pretty much automating the whole process. Thereby allowing you to focus on what matters most to you - capturing those precious family moments.
How Chatbooks Works
Chatbooks is simple and easy to set up too - all it takes is about 30 seconds to set up your photo book series and then the rest of the work is done for you. The Chatbooks Photo Book Series creates and ships a photo album to you every time you add 60 photos to Instagram, Facebook, or your phone favorites. When it's that easy to do, and only costs $8 USD to start with free shipping, how could you not want to try out this app today to capture all the special moments in your life?
Got a ton of photos already on your device or photos that are already posted on your account that you would like to put in a photo book but don't want to buy them all at once? Then not to worry, as you can set up a monthly subscription plan where you can either set up one, five, or ten books a month until you are caught up to your current pictures.
Want your photo books to be created by subject instead of chronologically? Well, you can do that too! You can set up different Chatbooks for different hashtags. So, for example, a photo book would only be created once you hit 60 photos of all the same hashtag #SunSets or #Vacation.
So, are ready to start using the Chatbooks app to automate the process of making photo books for you? Then follow the guide below on how to do everything you need to get automatic photo books using the Chatbooks app.
