## Reviews

### "Best tool for Streamlined Workflows within our team" — 4.0/5

> **Abdul Sattar** | *2 May 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is intuitive, making navigation a breeze. Love the commenting on video timeline directly and integration with Adobe is such a timesaver.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of external integrations and UI needs a refresh.
> 
> Overall we love it as it saves a lot of time as we don't have to jump on unnecessary meetings with designers to provide feedback and rather just do it on approval studio and also keep a track on changes mentioned.

### "Compare versions and links without registration: graphical revisions finally made easy" — 5.0/5

> **Aniello** | *11 March 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've been using it for a few months to manage graphical revisions of my products, and I have to say it's solved a problem I've had for years: the classic infernal circle of emails with attachments, randomly renamed versions, and clients commenting on blurry screenshots via WhatsApp.&#10;&#10;&#10;The thing I appreciate most is the version comparison system—there are four different modes, and the "Difference" mode in particular is something I didn't know I needed so much. You upload the old and new versions, and the software highlights exactly what's changed. It seems trivial until you realize how much time you were wasting checking every corner by eye.&#10;&#10;&#10;The fact that external reviewers can access it via a link without registering is also a huge convenience: clients don't want to create yet another account, so they open the link, leave comments directly on the file with the annotations, and that's it.&#10;&#10;In short, it's one of those tools that makes your life easier.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like it to be possible to have the Italian language in the future, which is currently missing. It is possible to pay to integrate it, but the cost is quite high.

### "Streamlining creative approval" — 4.0/5

> **Ainslee** | *22 October 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Use of internal and external asset upload request and review, this makes it easy when working with freelancers and clients as no login is required for them to complete the task, saving on the usual back and forth emails or slack threads
> 
> **Cons**: Interface can be a little slow at times, and would like indication of which type of review is pending - there is a status colour of yellow when a review is pending but you need to hover over to see whether internal or external
> 
> Good, helping to reduce time working on creatives with clients as amends and tasks can be seen in a visual way with an audit trail

### "A seamless experience for design approval" — 4.0/5

> **Evan** | *29 July 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Approval Studio offers a clean, intuitive interface that simplifies the design approval process for both designers and clients.
> 
> **Cons**: A bit of learning curve to set up with client, especially when sending out the approval email to first client using approval studio, didnt realised the default email template doesnt contain approval button only text.

### "Customer-driven magazine - so much easier\!" — 5.0/5

> **Luke** | *24 April 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Approval Studio provides a simple workflow for managing content creation with our contractors and clients. Simple project management, easy access to relevant files, and handles client feedback and proofing seamlessly. Adobe integration is a time saver, they just need to provide mm option in addition to pixels.
> 
> **Cons**: The lack of custom domains or custom emails. Email editor requires a fair bit of editing to get the look right. We needed to send an email to our clients letting them know to expect an email from the approval studio, so they wouldn't ignore it as spam.
> 
> Great, I highly recommend this platform for anyone publishing magazines that work with multiple contractors, creators and clients. I was using a projects management tool and it became way to complicated to manage. This streamlined the whole process.
