Polagram App Review

So today's post is going to be slightly different to my usual product reviews. I am reviewing the apple/android app, Polagram. This app lets you order prints of your photos, straight from your phone, as long as you have some sort of internet connection. The app is free, which makes it a winner from the start. I first came across this app through Instagram. An instagramer I followed put up a post of some Polaroid shaped photos, raving about the app Polagram. It was her post that made me download the app in the first place.


First off, let me say that I am in love with this app. As well as being free, the prints are decent price and great quality. If you go through the Instagram hashtag #Polagram, lots of people have posted photos, containing a £5 off voucher code. This codes are given out when you make an order, meaning there are thousands of them all over the internet. Fueled by the good reviews and £5 off voucher, I went ahead and made a small order. I order 11 Polaroid style prints. The voucher i used covered the complete cost of the prints, so all I had to pay was postage! This meant the whole order only cost me £1.69! The app has a Q&A section, which contains everything you need to know. Another reason I loved the app. You knew all the answers and exactly how much postage was, depending on where you live. For example, if you live in the UK, like me, the postage was the cheapest possible.

I was delighted and couldn't wait to see how the prints turned out. Polagram is most known for being one of the cheapest apps that offer square Polaroid shaped prints. However, they also do regular 6 by 4 prints, etc. They offer canvases, posters, photo books, basically the whole lot.
The order form was easy to complete, basic and simple. In putting my card details was so easy, which is exactly what you want when sharing your details with a 2nd party.

The prints arrived within the week. I got the dispatched email the day after I ordered the prints, which was fantastic. Delivered to me was a slim, cardboard box, the kind you get Amazon orders in. Inside this was a pink envelope that contained the prints.
On the back of the envelope there was writing (shown below)

When I opened the envelope, the prints were stacked neatly together. At first I was worried the ink may have smudged together, as the prints were pressed together. I shouldn't have worried. They were printed on fujifilm photo paper and perfectly fine.


The Polaroids were printed beautifully and in such high quality. The quality of the photos were still there and somehow, they looked better than on my phone! As i have said in previous posts, I love having the photos to hold and display. When my new room is done, these are going straight on the wall, probably clipped to fairy lights with pegs! The white border around the photo is sophisticated and makes them look just like real Polaroids.


I have added this photo, to clearly show the white border.
Overall I highly recommend this app, because of the quality of photos and cheap prices. Since my first order, I ordered 2 more orders. I now have 44 of these stunning Polaroids to display and I am very happy with them. The only downside I have is the slip of paper they put in with the order. It is a very cute idea, a little piece of paper with instructions on how to turn the paper into an origami bird. However, they put one in every order, and personally I think it is a waste of paper.


Other than that, I love this app!
