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 didn't take long to create my first party invitation using smilebox. Although not fully customizable, I actually feel like that's what helped me get the job done in a timely fashion. There was just enough customizable options to give me the overall look I wanted. Especially helpful was being able to import the email addresses from my web based provider. It's a nice, "green" option for sending out invitations. Finally, I love the music and movement that goes along with the presentation. First rate! Looking forward to seeing the responses. The only thing I would like to change is having the option to keep the guest list private.

Love this website - so easy to send cards and notices and invitations to lots of people and see who has viewed them. I have a subscription so there are no ads. Highly recommend!

I always take pictures at most group gathering... family parties, graduations, picnics, weddings. You name it. And it's just a good point and shoot. I then put them together in a SmileBox slide show and ALWAYS hear rave reviews. How else would family and friends get to see these pictures! I rely on SmileBox at least a couple times a month. Don't know what I would do without it.

Smilebox has been a great resource for creating quality newsletters for my Kindergarten classroom. I have gotten amazing feedback from both the parents and my administrators by using this site. The variety of layouts, flexibility in number of photo inserts, abundance of music, color and font choices makes this product truly personal and exciting for everyone who views it. I also love the fact that I can see who has viewed it, and receive comments and feedback directly. In addition, the fact that email addresses stay private is a plus for the school setting. Thanks for a great product, and I look forward to more designs and continued use in the future! (Spell check would be a nice addition, because I typically have to cut and paste into a word document to be certain everything is perfect.)

Great application that we fully appreciate... But some designs are in English and even if they give you creative ideas text cannot be changed exceptionnally for non English readers (we are French and send designs for our relatives)
