Also, you do not need to create an account for your client – just share the link. It greatly saves time, which is crucial for people like me. > > **Cons**: Nothing concrete. Love Approval Studio. > > For me, as a freelancer, every hour spent on everything except working is losing money. Thus, Approval Studio helps me to decrease these hours to minutes. Clients are satisfied as well because it also saves their time. ----- ### "Needed to improve design approval confirmation and feedback" — 4.0/5 > **Leticia** | *23 April 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to upload design mockups and even provide multiple options for the client to view, comment on or approve. Nice to get notified when client comments. Liked that revisions are easy to upload and track. The checklist is a nice way to be able to remind client to confirm that they have looked at specific aspects of the design. Ultimately that ability to get a report and show client confirmation when questions arise. > > **Cons**: Even for our technically savvy users, the zoom in/out was cumbersome to get use. The maneuvering within the design is a little clunky for clients. The simple mode is too basic and the full editing tools is too much for clients. Would like to see a basic arrow added to the simple mode, so the client can see what they are pointing towards, which makes it easier for the designer to get feedback. > > It has been almost a night and day improvement from our previous systems. Comments are all in one place, so no searching for emails about a project over a date range. Same for the client, they can see what questions they asked and the answer. ----- ### "Quick, easy and efficient." — 4.0/5 > **Julio** | *26 April 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is by far the best I have tried. It is very graphical and intuitive. You can easily indicate anything. One of the best aspects is that there is a global vision of the project and also the particular visions of each participant. > > **Cons**: In Europe, security of personal data is necessary, including by registration. Access for individual participants could be improved. ----- ### "Great system to manage the design works" — 5.0/5 > **Ihor** | *21 January 2020* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool is convenient to use and keeps on improving with each update > > **Cons**: It takes time to figure out how everything is working, but it totally worth it > > I’m the infographics designer in the NV journal. Our department started to use Approval Studio some 8 months ago. Frankly speaking, we felt a bit skeptical about its benefits for us – we got used to reviewing the jobs via email and didn’t feel we need to change that. Especially, we weren’t happy about spending some time learning to use the new tool to its full potential. However, it took just a couple of editions (we are a weekly journal) for us to feel all the perks of Approval Studio and understand that going back to emails is no longer an option. Previously, all the comments and CRs were scattered all over the place in dozens of emails from different people, and some of them could contradict each other. We have had a few hard moments due to all that. Especially, when working with several different artworks and you just don’t have time to track all the requests Now, with Approval Studio, we no longer need to keep everything in our heads. It’s easy to track who wants to change what, everything is in one place. You just read the comments, change the artwork, and upload the new iteration to the system. Editors are happy as well – they are sure that designers stick to their requests (or see the reason why they do not stick to those :). The system itself is very convenient and turned out to be not hard at all. Developers open to our requests and keep on updating the tool to make it even more comfortable. To describe the overall experience with one word – I recommend it ----- ### "Must have for Graphic, Web, and Print Designers" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *11 March 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Branding. Being able to brand the application keeps us in front of our clients. > > **Cons**: I haven't found anything yet that I don't like. Of course everything can use improvement but no dislikes. > > Support has been outstanding. Setting up isn't the easiest because it's new. Like every other software out there, there's a learning curve, but when you have an online chat support available it makes everything easy to learn.
