What do you like best about Approval Studio?

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.

Integrating Approval Studio into our workflow was seamless and the reminders takes one more task off our plates, since we don't have to keep following up manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Approval Studio?

Even for our technically savvy users, the zoom in/out was cumbersome to get use to. Moving around the design is a little clunky for clients, with click and drag to move.

The simple mode for tools 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, and therefore making it easier for the designer to see and get feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approval Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Has made it a whole lot easier to get accurate feed back on our website design mockups. The ability to visually see what the client is referencing is so much better. There are fewer emails going back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Approval Studio?

Not everyone will find the interface intuitive. It may take some time to get used to it initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approval Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Approval Studio has addressed a longstanding issue that other markup tools have not: inadequate communication. While other options allow users to leave comments and indicate areas for improvement, they have fallen short in effectively conveying the client's perspective. Approval Studio has overcome this challenge with its unique platform, enabling users to maintain a comprehensive record of all conversations and collaborate closely with clients throughout the design process.

What do you dislike about Approval Studio?

No custom domains or emails, so we needed to email our clients in advance to expect an email from approval studio. The email editor tool for automated emails requires a bit of work to get the emails looking ok, but not great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approval Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Approval Studio streamlined our creative process. We curate articles and ads from a number of local businesses for our magazine. Project management tools created too much complexity.
