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.

It's so much fun to design your personal piece of work... then share it with friends... finally, you can print it and display at home or office

DID NOT WORK
April 26, 2016

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA. INSTALLED TWICE. MADE A LOVELY GREETING CARD AND THEN NOTHING. WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SIGN IN ETC. VERY DISAPOINTING.

The designs are beautiful, but the tool does not allow to modify the pictures, import multiple pictures in one slide, place the pictures differently than centered, etc. Also the music cannot be trimmed or cut or otherwise modified. That's too bad!

Mostly user friendly
April 22, 2016

I was able to put the video together very easily but, the font on the intro page threw me a curveball and this is keeping me from publishing

Smile for Smilebox
April 22, 2016

Smilebox is a wonderful application that allows you to create a wonderful scrapbook quality product in just minutes. I have used it to create one of a kind cards, canvas pictures, placemats and even coffee mugs. I pay for the premium service in order to use every design they have. The look on family and friends face when they open their gift is worth every penny. The best part: it is very affordable.

Waste of money!
April 14, 2016

I signed up last year to send one card, now I'm into this stupid company for $100!

Honestly I'm to blame here. The sign up screen made it look like I was signing up for a monthly service, so I joined intending to use it for a month or two and decide if I would keep it. BAMM! $50 for the year was charged which I'm sure was in the fine print. I was angry & emailed them, but of course no response.

So I decide since I've paid for the year to not cancel immediately and use what I've paid for. Today, one year later I've not used it once more, but neglected to cancel and of course BAMM! $50 more dollars charged! This is definitely a shame on me scinerio, but the take away for the reader is that I have found no value in Smilebox.
