No incentive was offered Disappointed. If a find another program which has the same features , i will ditch Smartshow 3D. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Ease of use. The interface is intuitive and has good slide transitions. #### Cons This program is SO unstable. It is constantly crashing. Which is a pity, as it suits my purpose and is easy to use and has all the features i require for the videos I produce. However i find it exhausting with it constantly crashing. I have requested help from their support team and they have responded quickly, but to date have not been able to provide any answers to my problem. I run Windows 11 on a powerful laptop and the video i am currently experiencing this problem with is only 20 minutes duration.The text editor is very clunky and limited in the amount of text one can add to a slide. #### Reasons for switching to SmartSHOW 3D They have gone out of business #### Vendor response Hello MR.

No incentive was offered Customer service is five stars. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like to take the basic template and adjust for my needs. It's not always easy to accomplish that. #### Cons Using the keyframes seem to have a mind of their own. --- ### The Best - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gerald G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Faster and quicker projects completed without software issues, such as crashes when working on a project. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There are so many features that I like about this software with not one really standing out. If I had to name one it would be ease of use compared to other slide show software that I have used previously. With my previous experience there was no need to read a manual just open up and start a project. #### Cons I like the music library and there is many selections that I have used. However, there is a lack of dedicated music, such as for wildlife, other countries, special occasions ect. with no way to purchase music to add to the software. #### Reasons for choosing SmartSHOW 3D It was exactly like Pro Show Gold but better and easier to use with no crashes when working on a project. #### Reasons for switching to SmartSHOW 3D After using Pro Show Gold since 2006 they no longer supported the software on crashes and then went out of business. Photo Story Deluxe, I used less than a year and it was terrible to use to the point that I searched for another software and found Smart Show 3D Pro. --- ### Terrible software support. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Rudolph P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered see ticket # 133048. I'm really pissed off and tried Photopia which worked with all the .mov files that did not work in Smart Show 3D. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Everything WHEN IT WORKED! It was fine until I upgraded to the latest version. From that point on, all .mov files loaded sideways and after a minute or so, the app shut down. I tried on many occasions to resolve this with tech support, but there was no easy way to send the .mov file to them see ticket # 133048. It drove me crazy. I asked for a refund on the upgrade, but they keep on ignoring it. #### Cons Upgrade messed up the app big time. All I want now is a refund in which they ignore. I've used the software for years with no issues. The upgrade seemed to destroy the app. see ticket 133048. --- ### Great Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: FRANCISCO D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
