I really, really, tried to like Kicksend. The usability was horrible though. My main use case was that I'd upload some pictures and share them to a list of family and friends of the new baby - keeping the pictures off of email and gaining some small increase in control.<p>Then we get into the problems...<p>There was no good way to bulk maintain pictures. Horrible. Lists? They didn't work. Half the time the email wouldn't be sent out to the group after I shared something. Fail. So, the last time I tried to use it - and realized that nobody got what I sent out, I spent an hour manually deleting every file in my account (since, again, there were no bulk interactions). On top of that, there was no way to simply delete my account.<p>Kicksend was good in concept, but execution and reliability of it working was one of the worst of any apps I've used in the past few years. I finally ended up switching to a Pro Flickr account and just share things via Guest Passes. Works as expected.<p>Kicksend was something I really hoped worked well, but all it was to me ended up being a pretty UI that I couldn't trust to work at all. I would have paid for an account had it - since I really did like the interface.

So, I'm a little confused. This is something I do myself pretty regularly but there are conflicting things here for me.<p>The photos I usually want to print are almost never ones taken on my phone. And because the photos I actually send to people are from my camera I end up using my PC and just upload them to the company and choose the location. Costco, Walmart, Target all offer the ability to print at various locations.<p>I guess I don't see the benefit here. Driving to the store is the inconvenience in the end. That's why people attach photos or upload them on Facebook instead these days. Perhaps if it automatically snail-mailed the photo to a family member it would be more useful. But even my 70+ year old grandparents prefer I email them photos now anyway.<p>Edit - Just to add some context, I'm a father with multiple kids with parents and grandparents who demand photos of them every day. :)

This seems really cool how you can automatically print at Target, CVS, etc pretty easy. So this is definitely an upgrade.<p>I haven't used the app yet, I'm about to, but what's the advantage over just emailing the photos to the grandparents?

Does this compete with Picplum, now?

skyfallsin, would this be considered an example of online-to-offline?
