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.

Free?
June 19, 2016

If you advertise your product as free, you shouldn't prevent people from enjoying the full experience if they wanted to print your creation.

June 19, 2016

So easy to use and beautiful results. Wanted to make a memorial tribute for my Dad - who passed away in May - to give to my mom. I would recommend this program.

I downloaded the program and created one card. After I made the card I deleted the program. I don't even remember giving the program my paypal information! A week later bam I had a $47.88 PayPal transaction. I have never gotten any emails from smilebox aside from a survey of how the service is. I have emailed them 3 x and now today I filed a paypal dispute! Not a good way to practice business! They won't even answer emails bc I am sure they have so many people wanting a refund!

NEVER AGAIN!
June 2, 2016

READ THE FINE PRINT! ONCE THEY GET YOUR CREDIT CARD #, THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOU $50.00 ANUALLY. I DID NOT SEE THIS UNTIL IT WAS ON MY CHARGE. USED THE ACCOUNT ONLY TWICE IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND WOULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR, EVEN THOUGH I NEVER USED IT! NOT RECOMMENDED!
