I find that Smilebox is well worth an annual subscription as I use it frequently enough. It's a great way to share photos and memories. The one complaint I have is this: I always set up the slideshow so it ends when the music ends; but, when it is sent out to others, almost invariably the two are no longer synchronized. Also, very often the subtitles can't be seen on the sent-out product because of the position of the photo on the screen.

Having problems in my last two Creations. Video will not play. Furthermore, I have a new desktop and I am having difficulty getting into my account. Their Support Team is slow in responding, although in fairness, they have addressed my problems and resolved them in the past. I am a Premium Subscriber. I think it is worth it.

It has worked very well....allowed making a beautiful slide shoe for our son and future daughter-in-law. However, we have a MP4 file we wanted to include and it is not cooperating. Said we need QuickTime. What's offered is 7.6, which is obviously old as it shows it's for Windows 7....I have Windows 10. Contacting your customer support doesn't seem very helpful....God knows when support will come. Looks like we'll have to go without and accept what we have and the use of your 7-day free trial.

I love smile box! It's so easy to do!! I am making a DVD for my funeral so that when that time comes my family won't have to worry about making one!! Since they don't know how to do that I'm saving them the trouble of them having to do it!!

have used smile box for years. It is a great program. I am a little disappointed that there are few baseball related scrapbooks. Overall a very well rounded program.

The cards are really nice, but I wish there were more options.

I like the edit options a lot. Would love to see more free options though, but overall would use Smilebox over others. I also love that I have some options to add personal pictures in the cards! Smilebox keep up the good work and add me some more card options! Will continue to use and recommend! Five stars when you have at least 10 free options in each category!

I absolutely love it, worked perfectly to print out and send digital invites to our last minute wedding. only hitch it didn't allow guest to select the number of people in their party when rsvp'g via event central. other than that i had fun with it and will be using more and more in the future.

Very easy to use!For a quick and nice invitation via Facebook.

Easy to use, it´s beign hard for me to print... but for the rest I´m happy. I´ve been using Smilebox to create Photo Books, they are easy to make, the uploading of photos is ok and there are lots of designs to choose from. The only thing is that when I want to print it at home, it doesn´t give much choices as to sizes, in order to choose the kind of paper I want.

...they say the first step is admitting that you are an addict... Smile Box is like the digital version of scrap-booking and oh lord, I'm obsessed! I use it for personal slideshows and invitations and even use my personal subscription for work marketing my products!!! It saves me a ton of time and I always know my creations are in 1 place. Very similar to power point but more user friendly with high quality video enhancements. Would love to be able to upload an unlimited amount of songs for 1 slideshow and would also love the ability to use different transitions/ animations like you can do in power point...maybe this feature can be added? Mobile optimization would also be NICE! I did sign up for the premium version but had to cancel because every time i tried to login from a different computer kept getting a message saying that my username and password were not recognized? hmmm... I still paid for the subscription for the month and can't access premium templates or songs again because my user name and password no longer recognize me as a premium user... I'd like to get this addressed ASAP, would totally give 5 stars if i didn't have the bookkeeping difficulties. I feel like i should be getting this access because after all- I did pay for it!

I like smilebox, but I wish their shipping was faster when I pay to get it in two days it comes 5 days later. :/

Smilebox has been so helpful to us in sharing my husband's trip to his homeland in Africa last summer. We have made a slideshow to share with friends and relations, a photo album for the kids and grandkids and some cards for Christmas! At one time there was a glitch, however, and was unable to use it for a few weeks. Never discovered why. But now it is back and we love it!

User-friendly, I would certainly recommend using this application.

I found the site extremely easy to use and work in. Lots of fun to create your own slide show.

Overall I found it an enjoyable experience to use, HOWEVER I found it frustrating as I had to provide credit card details for a 'FREE' trial, that then becomes a purchase not a FREE trial!!! When I went to submit a question in the question & answer section of this review I was required to log in with Facebook needless to say I didn't leave a question.

In terms of the free trial; we have two subscription options, annual and monthly. If you are interested in our Premium Membership, you can subscribe to using one of the options, you are then given a 'Free 7 Day Trial Period' in which you can test out the membership features and designs and decide whether you want it before the payment is collected. If during this time you decide you do not want the subscription, you can cancel and you will not be billed. Therefore you have trialed the premium membership for free, for 7 days. There are free designs you can use without signing up to Premium Membership, however with the membership you can use all designs and enjoy more features.
