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.

Also deceptive billing- I wanted a monthly payment and was charged $50- no one will contact me for a refund! Would not and will not recommend this site!

Smilebox software
July 5, 2017

This is a very fun program, and easy to use. You can create any kind of greeting and send it to your friends and family. Sharing is simple and requires very little technical knowledge. I highly recommend this software.

It is easy to use and always gets a good response from people we send to. It also makes invitations good. Also it does not fill up the screen with a whole bunch of ads.

If you use Smilebox, please be aware that this service "auto renews" on your credit card with very little upfront notice. Buried in the terms and conditions when you join Smilebox is the notice that you'll be auto renewed for another year. Smilebox sends a single email reminder about 2 weeks before the auto renew date - if you miss that email reminder or you don't get the email at all (as I didn't), you'll be auto renewed - and, Smilebox refuses to reverse the charge. I'm having even more trouble with Smilebox now - I've asked them to confirm back to me that I'm canceling my membership after the current (auto renewed) year ends, so I do NOT want to be auto renewed next year... but, all I'm getting back from customer service is prewritten responses that don't confirm that Smilebox understands I don't want to auto renew again in 2018. So, even though Smilebox can be a great service to use, please be aware that the company has what I consider a VERY DECEPTIVE and inflexible policy on auto renewing!

Invitations
June 26, 2017

I love the complete service that smilebox offers! I have been using the service since almost the beginning. Th eonly thing that could be implemented from my viewpoint is: i should be able to log on and have the access to print my creation from a different computer.
Regards,
Michelle

It has a large selection of invitations to use. They can be ease to modify and change around. One negative the colors for the font are limited as is the size of the text. But overall the use of the site is very easy to use and modification is easy.
