Smilebox gets a frown
We’re not really sure that it counts as freeware, but when we opened the suggestion box, out popped Smilebox.
It creates nifty presentations for your photos, which you can then share via e-mail, your blog, or print. You download an app, but have to create an account with the Smilebox web service in order to share. The free version has a smaller display and shows Google ads on either side. If you want full screen display and no ads for the design you’ve selected, you have to pay a fee.
Truth be told, the free version will border on the awful for anyone used to the elegance of a Mac. We can’t help but feel that it is more a way of getting customers in the door than an honest-to-goodness free service. That said, everyone has their own tastes — and you may be among those who find the free Smilebox satisfying.
