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.

I'm using SmileBox for far more than I thought I would.
I exceeded the deadline to cancel my trial membership and initially was disappointed but after using it again I've decided it's worth the cost and far more interesting than an email. The response I got was on email telling me I exceeded the timeline (my fault) but I was welcome to use the service I'd been charge for. I hope I don't experience what Jason H did.
What is smilebox and how did it appear on my PC. I have no intention of paying anyone for something I did not order and do not know what it is. So far I rate it zero (0) stars and would like an explanation from the purveyors, whoever they may be. It is a bit cheeky to stick something on to a PC without their prior knowledge or permission.
Been with Smile box for years and just love it! I wish it was possible to add some videos to the slideshows...
Very easy to use My sister was able to be seen as the person she is and not the person people assumed her to be.
I love you little sister. I played my own music. 3 of our families songs that described us as a true Family.
Sherhonda Diane Osborne, love you forever, your Big Sister DeShannon
I just discovered smilebox and I am pleased with the slide show I created. It looks so professional. I look forward to creating more for future events.
Thank you soooo much smilebox you helped me create and finish something that we will forever hold in our hearts.
I have been using Smilebox for years and love the way it makes outstanding slideshows. This program allows you to create scrapbooks, invitations and photo albums. There is an assortment of designs and music to embellish your photos.
I used SMILEBOX to make the picture video for my Mother's Memorial Service. It was easy to put together and to make multiple copies. Thank you SmileBox. I will cherish this DVD for the rest of my days.
With much appreciation,

I use SmileBox exclusively for sending greetings by email, Facebook, printing and YouTube! It's simple, with step by step instructions! For birthdays, congrats, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and I plan to use it for the 4th of July... Thanks SmileBox!
Smilebox gave us the opportunity to preserve beautiful classroom memories. The parents were thrilled.
Thank you!
I have been using SmileBox for years! I have created everything from greeting cards (for all occasions), invitations, slideshows & memorials for pets & family members. I find it very easy to use and import my own music all the time! All of my card recipients enjoy seeing my creations and have convinced them to use it as well!
First time to use SmileBox... wow. Talking about EASY to use. I'm liking it.
Will start to use this app for all of my event invitations.
I'm working all ready for many years with smilebox and it's great!
So many memories burned on CD or send to family, who loved it too!
Using SMILEBOX is so easy and simple. There are always a variety of great options. The quality is always super sharp!
I love this site for all my end of the year photo collages for my preschool class!
It lets me easily show off all the children's accomplishments in a beautiful organized way and the parents love them.
I love SmileBox and the lasting memories I am able to create for my families. It is easy to use and provides a variety of slideshows and collages to use. Thanks for creating such an amazing way to make memories last.
Always able to find just the right message with colorful graphics and neat music. Real time saver in my personal life and cards are well received by recipients.
Easy to follow instructions and good selection of options. Recommend to use for all occasions- I will be!
I signed up for a 7 day free trial for Smilebox to create a slideshow for Mothers day. I was not pleased with the functionality of the program, so I requested that they cancel my free trail. I contacted them on the 6th day of the free trail to cancel, in order to avoid having to pay the yearly fee of $47.88 The customer service individual then responded to me the next day (day 7; the day the free trial expired) and sent me confusing and convoluted instructions on how to cancel my subscription that did not allow me to actually cancel my subscription. I responded (4) times to the customer service individual telling him his instructions did not work and that he needed to either cancel the subscription on his end or call me to walk me through the process. I never received a response until days after they charged me for the yearly fee. Not only did Smilebox refuse to acknowledge my request to cancel my subscription to avoid having to pay the $47.88 yearly fee, they blatantly provided confusing instructions to ensure that my subscription did not get canceled during the free trail timeline so that they could charge me the yearly fee. They ended up crediting my account days down the road, but they are obviously using unethical tactics to make it very hard for people to cancel their free trials so they can charge the yearly fee of $47.88.
Answer: It sounds like the pixels don't support the size you are trying to view it in. Try shrinking the output and see if that helps. If all of your pictures are still blurry, make sure your software is up to date. Hope this helps and congrats on your wedding!
Answer: Hello! Thank you for your question. F you purchase the Pro plan, you can download your creation as a video file and share it with the recipients. There would be no need to continue paying for the annual plan. If you share your creation online, you will see a Smilebox watermark and limited functionality once your subscription is canceled. Please send an email to [email protected] so we can reply faster if any questions appear.
