It is advertised as a solution to cut down the number of applications and the complexity involved in printing your photos. But unless I am overlooking something blatantly obvious, it does the exact opposite.
The thing is that PrintSprint doesn't actually do what its name hints at, which is making prints. It is merely an aid in resizing and cropping your photos upon which it allows you to "generate an order". What this boils down to is that the resized/cropped copies of your photos are saved into a folder after which the task of actually printing them is still up to you.
In other words, PrintSprint does not diminish the number of applications, views, windows, etc. as it claims on the tin, but rather adds itself into the mix, duplicates readily available functions (cropping, rotating, etc.) in the photo management software it is advertised to coexist with (iPhoto, Aperture) and stops where it could have been most useful: making the actual print.

First of all, you cannot crop and resize RAW files; they need to be processed to an editable format first. PrintSprint does not have a configurable RAW processor (at least none that I could find) so you are processing all your RAW files based on the same default set of parameters, which largely defeats the purpose of shooting RAW to begin with.
Furthermore, I cannot remember ever having applied the exact same crop on an entire batch of photos. If my pictures need cropping, they do so on an individual basis which I can easily do in whatever software I use to process my RAW files or edit my photos (Lightroom, Aperture, Photoshop, DPP, Capture NX, etc.). If you still want to batch crop your photos, these tools allow that as well.
