I have used Smilebox for over 5 years, and could not be happier. It is my absolute FAVORITE app. I bless a lot of people with loving memories. Images and memories are all we have left in this world when all else is stripped away.
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.
This is how you deal with them guys!
I clicked on this offer, but did not do it. A week ago I saw $47.88 taken out of my checking account. My bank shows a phone number along with name and address. I called this number and was told they have no phone for customer service. Of course 3 seconds later your holding a dead phone. I sent emails which kept saying this issue was resolved. But I did not have my money back. So Monday I spent on research. I tracked down their media company. Then found their stock on NYSE. I called them and told them I was filing a complaint with the stock exchange, was reporting them for cyber crime, and filing a lawsuit against them all for bank fraud. Today, I received a message stating my money will be back in my account within 2 days. I just wanted to warn others about this offer.
I really like the program! Just one thing that could use some tighten your music; It's choppy. I understand money helps to personalize those fine touches but to spend the money I'd have to know its not going to be the same quality
Smilebox helped make an impromptu wedding invitation not just possible, but elegant and beautiful! We moved up our wedding date to accommodate my sick father, and had only 7 weeks from invite to wedding! A standard snail mail invitation was not possible. I researched on line and came upon Smilebox, and am so glad I did! Amazing wedding invitations!
As a Kindergarten teacher I use Smilebox.com to communicate and share information and classroom news and photos with parents. It is a very a effective and user friendly way to share memories. It saves a lot of time by providing a vast array of templates and also music choices if you would like to use them rather than your own. A definite treasure for busy teachers.
I can't believe they operate this way. I had no idea they were charging my EX-husband every year $50 after I was happy to sign up for one year to do a huge loving DVD tribute to my dying father a few years ago. Shame on them and their tactics. I was in advertising and marketing for 20 years and have been in sales for 10, and I would never stoop to this. I wanted to speak to someone to ask them to refund his account for this latest charge, but they so cleverly do not allow for phone calls, so I guess he is out another $50. I would never use them again--though I love their product--and I will tell everyone I know personally of their poor business practices. I had no idea I had signed up for any kind of automatically renewing subscription, which is how so many unethical companies get you. You just don't expect of a company like this, and then they make themselves inaccessible, by not posting phone numbers online, and refuse to refund anyone who is feeling bamboozled. Tsk. Tsk.
I have been using Smilebox as our Christmas card for the past 8-9 years and I have found it totally easy to use and just a pleasure to use. I have investigated other sites and none are as good. Nobody else let's you add photos later on and shuffle them around easily. I defy anybody not intuitively knowing how to use it. Just great, thank you so much!
A friend sent me a Smilebox Christmas card this year. I had not had a chance to send out cards. Loved this new idea and tried it myself. May never do cards ever again! It was very, very user friendly. There are many cards to choose from. Would highly recommend Smilebox.com
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 is easy to use and has many options and designs for different occasions. I have made my baby's 1st birthday video with it and I am surprised how beautiful it came out using this app. 100% recommended!.
Every family event I have used this program to chronicle our gatherings. I can email to all. They then can obtain the individual photos if they choose. The program is intuitive and very easy to use. The price is right as well. Can you tell I love Smile Box. I also used it at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show to highlight the Champion Bloodline Arabians. People wanted to know what agency produced the video. It was myself and Smile Box!
I mistakenly signed up and cancelled in under 3 min. That was Nov 25th. I have sent 3 emails to demand a full refund. So far they have refused as recently as today, Dec 22,2020. No early cancelations. Thats why they have earned an F with the Better Business Bureau of NY. Dozens of complaints. Any stats you see about happy users are lies.
This program is very user-friendly is creating wonderful slide shows, collages, calendars etc. However, I have one small suggestion that the option to save your animated creations on your pc should offer more choices like avi, mp4 besides swf.
A really great tool for preserving your all occasion memories. I have probably made 75 slideshows with my photo's and customized music from my iTunes library. Our family love them.
Thank you Smilebox
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.
This site (smilebox.com) is the greatest and easiest site to create greeting card, picture slide show and ect. I have used them in the past and just love the way how easy it is to create your master piece to send to everyone on Facebook or by e-mail.
I give smilebox a big five (5) stars.
This company is absolutely horrible. They need to be shut down and investigated. Not only do they false advertise but then their programs don't even work after countless hours of work you wont even end up with ta slideshow.
I have used Smilebox for so many things - thank-you's, invitations, special occasions. The creativitiy of this program is unbelievable - not only are the graphics fantastic, but it allows for personalization. Amazing
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.
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.
