Kodak Easy Share Gallery Review

We use Snapfish and Ofoto to buy our photos online. I can’t say there have never been glitches with either site. There have been. However they’ve been minor and we get good pictures on time.

I am writing this because our experience last night with Kodak Gallery Share was so bad that I have to pass it on. We tried it because we had a coupon and we usually choose between the above two based on the price.

Signing in at Kodak Gallery Share was easy enough.

We couldn’t upload one picture at a time because we had over 100. It would have taken hours. Most sites have an option to bulk load. Kodak Gallery appears to also. I was told that I was using the photo by photo upload and was shown options to upload.

I was told that the Kodak Easy Share Software would allow me to express upload from my camera or the software to the Gallery. I could then organize, view, edit and share my pictures. Perfect!

My husband and I were doing this together. Between the two of us we have more years of education than I need to count. Needless to say we weren’t doing anything wrong. I downloaded the software and then shut off my computer which I was told to do. On start up the software was installed.

In spite of this the words “You are using Photo-by-Photo Upload” were still showing. Nowhere was there any indication of the fact I uploaded the software and should be able to bulk load them.

Eventually they showed up on another screen as loaded. Not only did I do this last night but I am doing this right now to see if the 2nd time around would be any easier. The pictures have already been bought through Snapfish but for the purpose of this review I want to be as fair as possible.

After spending ½ an hour I have finally found that my pictures are in the cart. Great, right? Wrong. Last night as tonight, this site or software crashes. I get a “not responding” message. Tonight, like last night I clicked the site off so it wouldn’t crash my computer.

Granted I got farther tonight then I did last night and maybe tomorrow night I could actually order the pictures but I’ve had enough with Kodak Easy Share. They charge $.19 a picture which isn’t even a great deal.
