I bought this to offer clients the ability to suggest changes on a painting

I figure if I charge for Art modifications, why not use Approval Studio to keep it all centralized?
All I need to do is get paid for 1 hour of custom work, and it pays for the license to Approval Studio for life.

I also am able to make custom images using AI with Artistly and I'm using it to get members of the assembly to approve images, before release.

Not sure how to delete older projects, but so far haven't used much space.

Very happy with this tool.

Thanks.

It is very handy

Great customer service.

Just bought this AppSumo deal yesterday, and I have had a great first impression of the product and their company's customer service. I needed to reach out to customer service for an issue, and Andrew and his team sorted it out immediately. The product really easy to navigate and use. Highly recommend it.

Not an essential tool in my toolbox

The tool seemed interesting, but I no longer use it. It’s one of those AppSumo tools I’ve forgotten about. I bought tier one a while back to test it out, but I never really needed to use it again. The features are basic, and I tested it with clients, but they found it hard to use or figure out. For creative reviews, I've found it easier to send clients videos of changes and then discuss them over video, rather than using a tool like this where you send & forget, expecting the client to respond. The price jump from tier 1 to tier 2 doesn’t feel justified to me.

Thank you for your review!
I’m sorry to hear that Approval Studio didn’t feel like the right fit for your workflow. Every tool works best when used for the right purpose — no matter how great a screwdriver is, a shovel is simply better if you need to dig a hole.

Approval Studio was designed specifically for visual proofing and collaboration, so it may not have aligned with what you were looking...

Incredibly Easy & Effective – A Game-Changer for Project Management!

Approval Studio has completely transformed how I manage and review projects! The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, making it effortless to organize feedback, track approvals, and collaborate with clients.
I was genuinely surprised by how smooth and efficient the process is—uploading files, sharing them with stakeholders, and collecting feedback is seamless. The interface is clean, and the tools are powerful yet straightforward.
For anyone handling design approvals, creative projects, or client feedback, Approval Studio is a must-have. I can’t believe how fantastic it works, especially at this price on AppSumo. Highly recommended!
