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.

Horrible program
October 21, 2014

Horrible program. Horrible customer service. After realizing I was still paying for this for a year after supposedly being assured that it was canceled. I thought I would give it a try. (my wife purchased it, could not get it to work.) This thing is horrible. I've tried it on both my systems and it's so slow. Keeps having to restart... I could go on...

Smile Box was a little complicated to create at first, but after about 20 min. I finally got it.

Easy to use, great reminders. Limited options in free version, but worked for what I needed--a slideshow of photographs with music.

I have been using Smilebox for my invitations for my family's parties for a while now and used it for my daughter's graduation party slide show as well. I don't think there is anything they could do to make me more impressed than I already am with them.

I had to organise a High Tea at short notice and need to have it sent out. Everyone received the invitation and loved it. When the due date was up I was able to get a quick list of number attending. I also forgot to write the date so was able to resent invitation to everyone.
Great site will definitely use again to sent out invitations.

Wonderful site for people who want to make beautiful scrapbooks but don't have the time. This takes all the hard work out of it for you.

Smilebox is so easy to use. The only thing that would make it better would be a larger selection of music and more ways to edit pictures. But music can be added and photos can be edited then saved to Smilebox so they are mostly issues that would make it easier to use.
