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.

Fun and so easy to use, i thought I'd be on here making an e-card for my husband for hours. It was so simple and easy to follow directions my kids were even able to make a proffesional looking card that was perfect!

Smilebox is just THE GREATEST! Especially if you become a Premium Member for a very modest fee. You can be as creative as you want... saves you time, money and makes an extra special thoughtful gift.

Besides being a fun way to celebrate birthdays, graduations, and other life events, Smilebox is also an effective way to showcase photos on a website! Choosing the right background music makes a perfect statement!

It was nice being able to use the templates that were available, but would have liked more color combinations. But the overall experience was very nice. I was able to add music, which added a special little touch. I like SmileBox. I will be using this site again.

The software for creating the projects was good. However, I struggled with loading two. Mov video files and had to convert them to another format. I also was unable to burn to dvd through the Smilebox program and had to save the finished project as an iso file then burn it through Windows. Apparently that is common enough that Smilebox has that listed as a recommended fix in their Help section. If you know that you have that big of a problem with a major function of your software you should fix it, not create steps to work around it using someone else's software. Other than those two items though the software was good, and the projects I created were better than I would have been able to do with any other tool I have seen.

I love the smilebox experience. It makes compiling and sending (and receiving) pictures and videos easy and enjoyable, especially when I am sending many photos. It is fun to receive and to view because the slideshow presents the photos in an entertaining manner and with music.

This is a really cool site. I love that you can email, print or make a dvd. I couldn't much for Father's Day this year, so this helped make it special for my Dad's and my Husband.

I would not consider myself as a super proficient and avid user of all things computer and media oriented. However, I had no problem creating my father's day card. Thank you Smile Box!
