It works as advertised

We like it as a design review tool.

Thanks for your review. From my experience, it's a good idea to add a short instruction to the email invitation you send to a reviewer. You can create multiple templates for different customers and use the proper one for each persona.

Helps streamline our creative reviews with clients

I use Approval Studio for requesting internal and external reviews, and asset uploads. It is working well with our agency as we do work with freelancers and multiple clients so having a system we can request asset uploads and reviews without them having to sign up to another platform really has help streamline our review process.

Missing a key element...

This looks very cool and would solve a lot of client back and forth. For me, it's missing one HUGE element. You can't upload live URL's for clients to proof. Which is the large basis of my work. If you are doing graphic design this could be a good option. I ended up refunding this.

Thank you for your feedback!

I’m sorry to hear that Approval Studio didn’t meet your specific needs. Live URL review has never been part of our feature set, and we’ve always been transparent about that whenever users asked. Our focus is on graphic files and visual proofing, where Approval Studio really shines.

For example, it’s widely used in packaging design, print production, and other...

Misleading

For an online approval app, this seems to do what it says it will in terms of BASIC functionality. What this lifetime deal does not include though is the workflows that are featured in one of the videos on this product page. So, if you are wanting to automate your repetitive workflow, you have to buy an enterprise level subscription and continue to pay monthly. Despite them using that feature as a selling point in the marketing videos on the product page.

Response to response: I meant basic in terms of not automated. I said it can do what it says it can, but the workflows are not included. That is why I spent 40 minutes in your system, because once I couldn't set up any automated workflows, this product was no longer useful to me. Good to know you track that stuff from your users though.

Also, in the videos on this product page, it does go in depth about how to set up and use the workflows, hence, the title of my review as misleading. My apologies for not realizing that workflows were just a paid add on, but again, it does not say that anywhere on this page. It just shows how to do it, then after you purchase it, and start trying to set things up, you realize you don't have the ability to do that. So again, feels a little misleading.

I’d like to clarify a few points because some of the information in your review may be misleading.

First, Approval Studio’s functionality is far from “basic.” According to our logs, your time in the system was about 40 minutes — and it typically takes me longer than that just to walk through the basic functionality in a demo. It’s unlikely you had enough time to explore everything the tool...
