A+ to Kizoa
July 27, 2016

Kizoa worked like a charm. When I had trouble copying my completed videos to DVD -- a problem with my PC's settings, not Kizoa -- the customer service team was thoughtful and prompt in helping me work through it.

Kizoa is great for educators!
July 27, 2016

Kizoa is a very intuitive yet powerful tool for creating slideshows for use in education. Everyone has been very impressed so far, and I'm a noob! They're also very friendly as a staff if you have any questions!

Needs improvement
July 28, 2016

In this ever growing world of video production, not to have the ability to add voice to the videos produced is a travesty. I love the program, but for how I want to expand, the program is insufficient. Unfortunately, I had already paid for the highest level of membership before I discovered this gap.

I love Kizoa
July 27, 2016

I love the program although I found it difficult to use in the beginning it soon started to make sense in the use of all of the time. I love all of the prearranged themes, that way I can upload my own music and that Kizoa makes me look like a genius at any event.

The five star rating is also based on customer service. The customer service is excellent and I couldn't ask for anything better. Whenever I emailed I get a quick response but exactly the information and I'm looking for. This makes a huge difference in my choice to purchase a product and to continue to use it and recommend to my friends.

I recently bought the Kizoa top video making package and have been thrilled with the 2 videos I have made so far! One was for my 15th wedding anniversary (which included about 70 pictures and is about 7 minutes long) and one was for my Grandma's 90th birthday (which included about 400+ pictures and is about 40 minutes long). I love all the special effects you can add and the music that can be uploaded. The high definition looks so good on my big screen TV. Even pictures that are close to 90 years old look fantastic! When I called the customer service number with a few questions, they answered right away and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kizoa to everyone!

Alesa ROCKS
July 13, 2016

I was having an issue with a download and had try to delete the video and redo it 3 times. This was a gift for the baseball team so to have 1 boy not have his video was disheartening. Fortunately, Alesa came to my rescue. Not only did I receive a timely response, I also received 2 other follow up emails. Ales took the time to not only resolve the technical issue and get the video downloaded but also took the time to determine the photo that was causing the issue. That photo was removed, re-uploaded and then worked perfect. I received an email with this info and that Alesa sent the picture to the tech team to look into it to see if there was a bigger issue. This was an amazing resolution and Alesa certainly went above and beyond for me. THANK YOU for employing such a caring individual!

It's a scam
July 7, 2016

It claims to be a free service, but when u want to download the movie after hours of working on it, it's asks you to pay 30$ for it. Pretty disappointed

Kizoa attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

We called your organization and needed help quickly. The rep that answered was able to help us on the first call. We did have to call back but that was because of user error.

Thanks for the great customer service.

User Friendly!
June 15, 2016

I needed a quick program to upload my students' photos from the year/add music/make a end of the year slideshow. I looked at several websites and this was the easiest to use with really nice editing features. It took no time to put my slideshow together. I ended up paying for the Premium Membership so that I could burn on to DVD's for my students and make one for next year's class. Well worth it!

Terrific customer service!
June 6, 2016

I made a movie using Kizoa software but had trouble burning it onto DVD using Kizo-Player. I called Kizoa customer service center but it was before office hours. Even though I did not leave any message, my phone call was returned within couple of hours same day which usually does not happen these days. After I explained my issue, they tried to help on the phone first but then sent me an email with very detailed instructions of how to uninstall and reinstall Kizo-player. The email also included plan B, which offered a link to. Iso file of my movie with once again very detailed instructions. I finally was able to burn my movie onto DVD with no issues whatsoever! Thank you Kizoa team for being so proactive and being so patient and attentive to your customers needs! Awesome software and even better customer service! I am a very, very happy customer!

Excellence at its finest
May 28, 2016

I was creating a birthday montage for my niece and because she is one of my favorite people on Earth it meant a lot to me. I worked very hard on it, tirelessly actually. I had to contact customer service two times with issues, despite the fact that it's a very user friendly program. Both times I was greeted by two Representatives who were knowledgeable, polite, resourceful and efficient. Response time was quick. They even monitored my upload after the fact to make sure all went well. I am impressed!

Now grandpa can express more! I'm not a computer savvy but the creator of your app understands. As if they can also read what a 53 year old grandfather in the 3rd world who only got newly connected with technology.

Thank you guys. Your creation is awesome. Getting a lifetime membership is a priority.

Thank you once again.

I'm utterly flummoxed. I got a 3 day head start on a school-wide slideshow (800 photos/35 minutes), and after two near-allnighters (and about 9 hours of failing), I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to complete the project on Kizoa.

Simply put: Kizoa does not have the functionality required for a larger slideshow.

What's aggravating is that this is not mentioned anywhere on the price guide when a customer is considering purchasing Kizoa. In fact, they even offer videos of unlimited length with a paid account.

So, here I am--I have paid for the mid-level account, I spent hours just uploading my photos and music from Google Drive because Kizoa couldn't handle uploading more than 70 photos at a time.

And now I have come to the realization that with an 800 photo slideshow, if I want the slides in a certain order/rearranged, I will need to spend hours and hours and hours doing something that should occur with the simple click of a button.

Kizoa only allows users to shuffle one photo at a time, and the editing area is only six slides long. This means, that if I want to move the 500th picture to the beginning of the slideshow, I have to click the 500th photo, and then drag it slowly as my workspace agonizingly scrolls at a snail's pace to the beginning. 20-30 seconds later, you begin to sink into dread as you realize that it took you almost 30 seconds to move one photo, and you still have 799 to go.

I should have borrowed a laptop and just done this thing on basic PowerPoint.

Many regrets over using and paying for Kizoa for this project.

Hello NW, I am very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with Kizoa. When making your movie you can automatically add the entire album to your movie, the photos will be put into your movie in the same order in which they appear under the "My Images" tab of your account. I do understand that editing one photo at a time can be very time consuming and frustrating, so please contact us via private message or directly at customer support so that we can guide you through some other, quicker ways to get your movie the way you want it. I would also like to speak with you so that I can have a better idea of the improvements you would like to see on the site in order to speak with our technical team about potentially implementing some changes.
