Kodak: A Thousand Words - iPhone App's Print to Store Test Run

A few days ago Kodak Gallery released an updated version of our iPhone App [1] which you can now use to order Premium Prints [2] for Same-Day Pickup at your local Target and CVS right from your iPhone. We're pretty excited about this.  Not only is being able to order prints our most requested feature, but we're the only major online photo service that lets you do that.

Before we made the update live in the App Store, myself and a few Kodak Gallery employees who were in the know gave it a test run.

Morgan, our first guinea pig, had just taken a day trip to San Francisco and wanted some prints of her adventure. After logging into the App, she found her trip's album and selects her favorite photos. 

She used the app to find the closest Target to her, placed her order for Same-Day Pickup, and stopped by on her way home to pick them up at the photo counter. We were all excited to hear how simple and easy it went!

Later, another coworker Beth decided to give the app an unofficial speed run when she was running late for a birthday party. To get started, she placed her print order right from a CVS parking lot.

Since her prints went straight from her iPhone to the store, she was able to pick them up after a short lap around the store, and was back on her way in no time.

Oh, and the birthday? It was for Beth's 20 year old cat. (Yes, 20!)

If you don't have the app yet, you can download it for free! [3]  In addition to ordering prints, you can also share photos with friends in a Group Album [4] , download photos from your Gallery account to your phone, and a whole lot of other cool stuff. (Click here [5] to learn more about the Kodak Gallery App.)

Don't have an iPhone? Download the app in the Google Play market for Android [6] , or the Amazon Appstore for the Kindle Fire [7] (these versions don't include ordering prints right now but they will soon).

Leave a comment below to let us know if you have any other ideas for the app, and don't forget to rate the app in the App Store.
