Smore Reviews & Product Details

Smore allows me to create a monthly newsletter for families with ease. I can insert and upload photos with or without captions and push the newsletter out through a mass email. It's super user-friendly and looks professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've experienced is if you are working on it with a collaborator you have to use one login and share. This is hard as you need to share a code each time you log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smore is a super easy way to share news and events that are happening within your organization. We love how easy it is to change the background images, colors and font of the newsletters. An added bonus is the variety of content that you can add to your digital newsletters. Smore allows the user to not only add text and pictures but you can even add video content, attach files and embed forms as well as audio and calendar options. It's alo very easy to share your newsletter to social media or copy a link to send out via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried my best and just couldn't find anything that I did not like about smore. It's easy to use and most people can be expert users in a matter of minutes. The product also gives you the ability to view analytics which tell you how many views you have had. They also have a great support area built into the site and you really can't beat the annual pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smore is a great tool for those wishing to get started with email marketing. It has the ability to take generic emails and spice them up using graphics, buttons, color, and images. Smore makes it really easy to load in pre-ade lists of email addresses so that you can target your email to the right audience. The best feature that Smore offers is its pre-made templates. Smore has templates with different colors, layouts, and even offers different background images depending on the upcoming holiday or time of year. The templates that Smore offers makes it easy to quickly create and send a visually-appealing email. Even better is the fact that Smore saves templates from emails you've already made, making it easy to dial-in a design you like and make a quick change before sending.

Smore thrives when it comes to simplicity with email marketing. However, its simplicity means it has some limitations. For example, to my knowledge, custom HTML can't be added to the emails. Additionally, if you opt to use the free version, you're limited to just three emails total. These emails you send will also be lower-quality and slightly blurry—Smore only allows you to send high-quality emails once you upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Smore is both simple and customizable. I can set up a template with headers that I create and quickly change the information each month. I have used other programs that are easy to use, but there are no options to make your newsletter look personalized. Smore checks both boxes for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no option to schedule a newsletter to send in the future. I often like to make my newsletters while at work but send them out in the evening. It's not hard to log in and send the newsletter when I'm ready, but having a scheduling feature would make the program better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a good program.

However, their customer service/billing is not so great. Be careful with annual recurring charges that they will not refund. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Be warned that Smore.com does not give you any courtesy notification about your upcoming renewal/charges.

On August 1, 2021, the day after I saw the charge to my card, I tried to cancel my subscription. They informed me that it was too late, and they do not do refunds. I needed to cancel by July 31, 2021 for a refund. So now I am paying for an entire year of a program that I won't be using.

Every recurring annual subscription I have gives me a heads up before my renewal. This just seems like bad/sneaky business to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's obvious how to do what you want. If you do something you dislike, it's just as easy to un-do it (I think this is key to experimenting and just trying a new platform.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Update! They've updated the mailing list feature and have added a search function! So great now!

The mailing list features are great in that you can have several. However, I would love a "search within" feature so that I could remove people by hand without having to scroll through the entire mailing list. At least it's alphabetical! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use program. Create beautiful-looking e flyers and newsletters in minutes. Totally customizable by using your photos etc. You can even add links and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to be able to combine it with professional editing software, such as Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smore is super simple to use. The interface makes it really easy to add text, pictures, videos, polls and a variety of other pieces of information with the click of a button. You can also change the colors and fonts in the right sidebar and it adjusts the entire document with a single click. The user can then send the newsletter out via email or social media channels. Learning how to use Smore is also really simple and you can be a master in a matter of minutes. I literally teach people how to use this product and they are creating within fifteen minutes.
