I loved the final product! It was amazing! The onlt thing i didnt like, and maybe i just dont understand how to do it, Is I would love to be able to text out the final product. As most of my friends dont use thier email and some are not on social media. Other than that great!
I used it for my son's bday invite. Got loads of options, is user friendly and couldn't have asked for more.
Giving one star less since I have not tried stopping my charge on my credit card and I have seen a few reviews now which specifically caution the users on it.
I love being able to chose formats, colors, embellishments, music, and more. I have made an invitation, cards, books and slideshows. I have printed and sent creations digitally... so many wonderful choices!
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.
We have used SmileBox for years and have enjoyed it immensely! It has been easy to use and fun with music and slideshow capabilities. We have printed and sent by text our work. Family and Friends have enjoyed and complement both. Keep up the good work of new additions periodically! Thanks
That is great! Thank you!
Smilebox is an easy way to make fabulous creations to send to family, friends, and students, (if you are a teacher)! The support is fast, polite and thorough, if you have questions about ANYTHING!
A smilebox can be ready to send in 5 minutes, but it always takes me longer because I have a hard time choosing from all of the amazing formats! Everyone I send Smileboxes to enjoys receiving them and they always look forward to the next one I send.
I use Smilebox to make photo slideshows and find it to be much more user-friendly than other sites that do the same thing. I just use the free services. You can add up to 400 photos, they have a few different types of music you can use (upbeat, sentimental, etc.), and you can easily add captions and arrange the photos in the order you prefer. The interface is easy to use and understand. I wish that you could choose to keep the music going continuously instead of the music stopping and starting over and over during longer slideshows. I also wish that they could provide a direct link to my video and I could share it that way instead of only via email. Other than that I think it is fantastic!
I love to use Smile Box to create 8x10" collages. There many designs to choose from and customize. I like that I can order a 8 x 10" collage and it can be delivered to my home for $2.58. You can also print the collages at home but I usually order them. I also like you can save a JPEG copy and email the collage to friends.
I am so impressed with my trial version of Smilebox. Unfortunately the even the subscription of $13.99 per month,$167.88, converts to ZAR2,520 per annum. Pity, I will have to look for a local app.
Thanks,

As a very busy assistant headteacher in the UK I spend a lot of time creating a wide variety of documents and presentations. There is never anything better than having some professional looking photos to personalise and identify our school identity. It has been an integral part of revamping our school's corporate image and the children LOVE looking at the slideshows and images.
As if that is not enough smilebox also enables me to send it to parents to view (safely of course) at their leisure without any fears of them being able to copy or redistribute the images in any way.
Then as an additional SUPERBONUS as an educator in a state maintained school HP have the generosity to make it free!
What more could I ask for? Well done for such a great piece of software and giving teachers everywhere the opportunity to create such professional masterpieces.
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.
Loved using this program! So easy to use. And I was able to burn my slideshow to a dvd AND email to friends. I am not that computer savvy, so what a joy it was for me to be able to make my own creation with little to no effort!
My subscription was scheduled to renew on august 30 so I cancelled my subscription on august 27 and on august 30 smilebox renewed my subscription and charged me for another year anyway. As for the app I've only used it once and I didnt think it was very user friendly but that was a couple years ago so it may have changed
This is so good because you get to pick out a card and then you get to change to front page and pick a picture that you would like and then write your own message, I love it so much... I'm defo using this for other events :)
Smilebox was very user friendly even for someone not computer savy. The choices and options were easy to understand and apply. The finished product looked great and was easy to share with family and friends.
I have five grandchildren and one on the way and I have Smileboxes all the way back 12 years when my first granddaughter was born. I've saved them on several hard drives so my grandchildren will always have them. A Smilebox is something that actually puts a smile on your face!
I have done a few smilebox slideshows for each of my grandchildren which are great fun to do. So many different themes for anything you want to do & so easy from start to finish. For fun or special occassions, you can make a wonderful reminder of all the memories.
This is a wonderful app I love the multiple uses and functions, what would make this even more awesome is if you could save the video as a GIF or MP3 directly to your computer and then were able to email it out to people as most people have all the addresses on their emails and its a mission to re-add them to Smilebox.
But overall this is awesome
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.
While I generally put old fashioned slideshows or pictures in an album on a shelf and forget them after one or two viewings, I watch my Smileboxes over and over again. Every time I take a bunch of pictures that I want to keep, I put them in a Smilebox and then throw out the originals. It is a great way to keep memories alive without gathering dust or clogging up memory on a computer.
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 support@smilebox.com so we can reply faster if any questions appear.
