I have used this site for so many occasions, for birthdays, grandchildren's visit, death of family members and there are so many other occasions that would take me for ever to mention. This is one of my very favorite sites. The templates and music is easy to use to send your family and friends current photos that makes a difference in their life.

I hate those websites that say they are free, but ask for our credit card anyway! Why doing this? I dan't have any problem in paying for services, products, but it has to be clear. I am not using smile box anymore. Uninstalled.

Nope..
June 7, 2020

Wife purchased premium account for purpose of creating graduation presentation. After loading the photos and music plays very inconsistently. Cover takes 1:45 minutes. You cannot set times for individual slides. At the first paid tier you cannot display full screen or download. Viewing the code of a shared linked it had profile details including creator's gender/dob not very private. Turned out to be a massive waste of tine for our purpose. Back to powerpoint.

I have been using Smilebox now for what I think is 4 years. I have used it for Event invitations, greetings and photo slide shows. Its easy to use, and has plenty of versatile design options. I am going to start using the newsletter format this year, as I have an audience group I want to reach out to. Recipients of my smilebox creations go crazy over them, and have commmented on how fun they are regularly. Nice little system, great for people who need some graphic polish and are not techies in use of custom design software tools.

I have used Smilebox for years and many events. I really like it.
ONE B|IG FLAW is the editing options. Once you have saved it, you cannot go back and change the actual invite "card" that goes out so you have to start all over! Takes a lot of time for a mistake.

What is smilebox?
July 6, 2018

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.

Thanks

I got to do our new granddaughters pictures and thought this was an awesome way to show them off! It was fast and easy. Only thing would make it better is a way to know what pictures you have put on slides easier. I just deleted them. Maybe an add all would help then we can arrange them.

So easy and so fun!
June 25, 2014

So easy and so fun! Did a baby shower and it is the cutest, not too baby, invitation. The music was such a nice touch, too! I love that I get emailed when people post comments and the toolbar icon lets me know how many people have viewed the invite. So helpful. Will definitely be using this again!

I have enormously enjoyed Smilebox. I do not know a great deal about computer technology but I found this program to be inviting, creative, and very enjoyable. It has helped me feel closer to people emotionally and it grants me he freedom for self-expression. It has enhanced my relationships with people and been a source of creative energy.

I have used SmileBox for lots and lots of years when I want to send something of my own making to send a special message to friends and family. It is an easy method of communication and all people seem to love getting them. Try it... I guarantee you'll like it! (So will your friends)!

Smilebox took what used to be a very tedious job and turned it into a quick and easy presentation. I use the collage maker for our large TV at church. Smilebox makes displaying lots of pictures from VBS a snap!

Smilebox is by far the best way to share the moments we don't want to leave behind. I love knowing our memories are stored safe and sound forever. Our four kids all enjoy going back in time to relive their childhood... and the grandparents always appreciate the heartfelt slideshows we send when they cant be here in person. Nothing could keep me from renewing year after year. I absolutely LOVE my Smilebox!

This is how we do our Christmas Cards every year now. We love it. So much more enjoyable to make then writing out a million cards. We love the idea of telling our years story through photos and setting it to music. I won't be going back to normal cards!

Keep it FREE
July 30, 2015

Love the designs and the free music isn't bad, either. Wish you could email any design option, had to sign up to send a slide show, even though I thought I'd selected a free design. I will probably cancel after free trial of 7 days... without any problems, I hope!

I have been a smileBox customer for quite a while. I have used almost all of the formats and look forward to new ones. I love that you can change your own title. The ideas are endless. SmileBox is the first part of my pages. I like to print 8X10 sizes. I then put them on a 12X12 acid free paper, add embellishments' maybe some ribbon. I give this program 6 stars and would recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you!

Won't Refund
November 3, 2020

So, I wax playing around with a digital flyer for my church and stumbled on Smile Box. I made the flyer for a light contest and thought it was cute do I went to buy 1 mo th of the subscription at what they site said would be $5. They immediately charged $60 to my card. I sent an email saying that I was not authorizing a full year and they tried to keep my money and give me lifetime membership. I said no thanks refund all but the 1 month at $5. They just srnt another email stating they'd be keeping $10 for my 1month membership. Stay Away! Bad business!

Zero stars, really.
March 8, 2021

I have had the same experience as so many reviewers here. They charged me for a year of upgrade, and then my project wouldn't save. It was a slideshow for my mother's memorial. I wrote and told them that, thinking someone would get that adding a monetary rip-off scam to someone's grief is a really bad thing to do. But that's what they do, apparently. No refunds, no matter what. They suck. Don't use.

Not user-friendly
I was investigating programs to use for a slideshow for my son's rehearsal dinner. I clicked on Smilebox and first thought I was getting a free trial, then I only had options to pay, I selected the five dollar per month option but was charged $59.99 for an annual subscription. The program did not do what I needed, was not easy to adjust music and transitions. I contacted the company ( electronically as that is the only method allowed) and they told me they have a no refund policy. Very disappointted. I do not recommend Smilebox at all. Not user-friendly at al - the program nor customer service. I feel completely taken advantage of and ripped off.
