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.

I use smile box most of the time I love making scrapbooks and or just sending invites. Smilebox makes it so easy to do and you can even print if you need to.
I did a trial of this service to build slideshows for mother's day. Smilebox quit just as I was sending it over email. This seems related to file size. But there is no error to let you know that the file cannot be sent. It simply erases your project and you have to start all over.
You are the artist since you will be in control of the creation of your card. Have fun creating your masterpieces.
Very simple and easy to use! I love that I can use my own music for special projects for loved ones! So excited to explore more options and just have a blast being creative!
Used this app to send my mom a mother's day card was a great experience i would recommend this app to friends and family it was a good experience
I love Smilebox! I have had a membership for almost 10 years and have done countless greeting cards, party invitations, year reviews, and trip slideshows. It is a fun, easy way to share my life through photos, words, creativity and music with those near and far with the click of a mouse. <3
Doing a photo slideshow for a friends sons graduation party. Searched for software with good templates, easy directions, and easy capability to share. Smilebox killed it. I was able to make an amazing video in no time. For a small cost I was able to upgrade and have even more capabilities. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something simple, easy and fun
Love the program easy to use only would like it to be a little cheaper, its hard to spend that much on a whim.
Love Smilebox for the ability to print and download invitations in addition to e-mail, facebook and Smilebox hosted RSVP page. Also great animated and add your own photo evites as well as big music selection for reasonable price. Cons: RSVP page missing two key features. Can't send auto reminder to guests and can't limit viewing of guest comments, all guests see all comments and receive emails every time someone comments (can be very annoying to guests).
I love using Smilebox! Simple and Fun! I have used Smilebox for a variety of projects, from Christmas cards, photo albums, and DVDs for anniversary and birthdays.
DON'T USE SMILEBOX! THEY GAVE ME HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER THEY CARDS WOULD NOT WORK THE SAME AS THEY CLAIMED USING THE DESK TOP APPPLICATION! THE FLASH ANIMATION WOULDN'T PLAY AND WHEN I EMAIL (because they don't have a customer service Phone # anymore) THEM THEY JUST KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS MY FAULT AND REINSTAL MY FLASH WHICH I DID THE FIRST TIME AND TOLD THEM THAT FLASH IS OBSOLETE. I REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK AND THEY REFUSED. MAKE SURE YOU GET THEM TO STOP THE "RENEWAL" OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR YOU WILL THEY WILL BILL YOU FOR ANOTHER YEAR! I will never use them again...
If you ever try Smilebox you won't live without it. I send Christmas cards, birthday, and thank you notes with just a few minutes of work, because smilbox makes it EASY.
Everything is good about this product, the music the photos and the price the first time i tried Smile box was easy for me. The instructions are well written and you can understand what to do. They have over 2,000 music videos and the e-cards are real nice i would recommend this to anyone.
I have been a SmileBox Premium member for two years now and have made several beautiful slideshows for father's day, mother's day, birthdays, and memorials. I am also able to download them as a. Mov so that I have them forever. When I was unaware of how to download my slides, a customer service rep responded back within 24 hours with instructions. It is the best template site that I have encountered!
I have used Smilebox for years to show off the active learning at our school. Parents keep them, grandparents get to see it all - perfect for everyone!
Great for making customer slideshow presentations for funerals. It makes us look so professional for not much effort, and a great price!
Love the program, but they need to move up with the times. They need to provide the option to burn to a thumb drive as an mp4 so that it can be shared without internet service; burning to a DVD is out dated.
Great way to keep the grandparents updated with new photos of the kids in a fun format. Love!
Arrange your photos on beautiful slides then add music. This makes a lovely presentation for yourself or loved ones.
I love the idea of creating and printing my own invitations for just a small fee, and I can create and print the same day - great for last-minute needs. However, I've created two separate invitations to print myself, and both of them had the colors just a little "off." When you use more than one color, they don't exactly match up with each other on the design. I initially thought it was my printer, but the download, as well as the screen version, both had the colors not lining up correctly, and it didn't matter if you printed directly from the site or downloaded the JPG. It's not THAT noticeable, but a little extra attention to detail would be nice.
Answer: It sounds like the pixels don't support the size you are trying to view it in. Try shrinking the output and see if that helps. If all of your pictures are still blurry, make sure your software is up to date. Hope this helps and congrats on your wedding!
Answer: Hello! Thank you for your question. F you purchase the Pro plan, you can download your creation as a video file and share it with the recipients. There would be no need to continue paying for the annual plan. If you share your creation online, you will see a Smilebox watermark and limited functionality once your subscription is canceled. Please send an email to [email protected] so we can reply faster if any questions appear.
Answer: NO charge for using the electronic cards designated as "FREE"
