SmileBox Reviews Summary

Smilebox has garnered a reputation for offering creative design tools that users appreciate for their potential and ease of use. However, the company faces significant criticism regarding its pricing structure, with many customers feeling misled by subscription terms and unexpected charges. Complaints about poor customer service, including a lack of phone support and difficulty in canceling subscriptions, are prevalent. Overall, while the product has loyal users, the negative sentiments surrounding billing practices and inadequate support suggest a pressing need for Smilebox to enhance transparency and customer service to retain its user base.

This works for what I need, but would be so much better if there were options to fade songs in/out, match pictures to length of songs, have different backgrounds for the individual pics, etc,

Easy and quick
August 7, 2017

Great for quick and easy products updates for my clients. I have more people that see these sliders and actually get sales from them. Glad I upgraded, more music options is nice.

I'm a pre-school teacher and needed to make a quick slideshow for my parents for their end of the year performance. SmileBox saved the day! It took me minutes to make and easy to save. Very user friendly for anyone who doesn't have great computer skills. Love it! Worth the monthly fee. Thank You SmileBox!

I used it for my son's bday invite. Got loads of options, is user friendly and couldn't have asked for more.
Giving one star less since I have not tried stopping my charge on my credit card and I have seen a few reviews now which specifically caution the users on it.

I was able to put together a very professional flyer together which is a feat for me since I am very challenged in the media arena. I did see some programs that can do more but for the price and the user-friendly setup, I would recommend this program to anyone, but especially beginners.

Fun creating the slideshow presentation, but couldn't figure out how to upload videos. Other than that, the program was very easy to use and navigate. I used is last year and decided to use it again this year for my special occasion presentation.

Awesome
July 15, 2017

I love the things that you are able to do with Smilebox. You can create anything; slideshows, photo books, albums; whatever you desire and you can share them with your friends and family by emailing them, posting them to facebook, or burning them to a DVD. It is an awesome way to work with photos. Love it!
