AMS Software Reviews 183

the Smartshow 3D program is very good for me, you can easily add photos and videos, transitions and other effects. It is easy to use and I am satisfied. It would just be nice to have some free templates.

I am extremely happy with the new AMS PhotoDiva Ultimate software package. The features from previous versions are even more easy to use and the extra 100 filters in the Effects option are really wonderful to work with. The support I received from AMS couldn't have been more helpful, always answering each query I had. Now I'm planning on upgrading my AMS PhotoGlory software program - as the price is excellent!

This software is easy to use. Pro, or an amateur like me.

This is a wonderful slideshow software that makes creating shows easy and simple.
Many option that are easy to use for beginners as well as experts.
Try it you will like it!

This is the 3rd professional software program I have purchased. I put together a Christmas presentation and I really loved the program! It was very intuitive, but really liked that music choices which are part of the programming! That is a huge benefit! My other 2 programs I had to upload my own which was a pain. This is a keeper, and you won’t be disappointed at all! So happy I purchased this!

I would have to say ease of use is is paramount with this software. Everything is spelled out for what you need to accomplish with photos, shows, and production. I recommend this to all!

I'm really satisfied about Smartshow performances. Finally I have found an easy and smart program to manage my photos presentation.
Whoever wants to use a fantastic tool I suggest Smarthshow because also the price it's very interesting.

After a long break, I needed to make a slide show with the SmartSHOW 3D application. When I wanted to finish the prepared work and pressed "Create Video," an error message appeared with error number 4114. I struggled for many hours and tried everything possible. Then I used the application's support. I was surprised that the team responded, asked a few questions, and sent me comprehensive, precise instructions on what to do. Even as a layman, I was able to follow the instructions. Everything turned out great, and the application is 100% functional again. I am grateful that there are still good, skilled people out there. I would like to thank the very supportive team! Hugo Macek CZ

In order to access the advanced features I was interested in, I had to purchase a licence. But I quickly became disillusioned because, although the programme doesn't crash when I start processing, it only accepts smaller versions of images and produces terribly disappointing results, a far cry from the demos shown on their website!

I therefore requested a refund within two days of purchase. I never received a refund. I strongly advise against this company and their software.

I purchased the PhotoGlory Deluxe Version. It had all the features I needed. The only difference from the Pro Version was that it didn't have "Stylize photos with 100+filter effects of 3D LUTS," which I would never use.
I received the PhotoGlory Program and installed it. I then attempted to colorize a black-and-white photo, but received an error message stating, "This feature is available in the Pro Version only." So I upgraded to the PRO Version for another $10.00 fee, changing the price I already paid from $29.40 to $39.20.
The Deluxe version, which I purchased, clearly stated that it would "Colorize B&W photos with 1 click", but it did not. I had to upgrade to the pro version.
This is another dubious software company that offered a switch and bait scheme to get buyers to purchase the full pro version. I hate crooked companies like this and would advise potential buyers to look for a more honest software company.
All AMS Software did was offer me another piece of software at a discounted price, they did not address the their original scam of charging me an extra $10.00 to use the the software I all ready purchased. Stay away from these scam artists.
I now have the full version of PhotoGlory installed after AMS Software forced me to upgrade to the Pro version. Now using the Pro Version I still can't Retouch or Patch the photo I colored on their software. As soon as I try I get the popup saying to "the option is not available upgrade to Pro". This is ridiculous I have already updated to Pro and entered the new Key they sent. These are the worse bunch of scammers I have ever encountered. Their PhotoGlory program misses complete sections of hands, ears etc when coloring an old photo with PhotoGlory. The program does not do what it promises to do. Stay far away from this piece of junk.

I think Smart Show 3D is a clear and nice program to use. Not the most advanced program, but it makes nice movies with text and music out of my photos. I have used the program for several years now. If you get stuck on something, there is good customer service to help you. The program can be safely recommended.

Had trouble with installation, but they supported quickly.
HOWEVER - the AI photo restore does a terrible job with faces. Not at all helpful to me for my project of restoring of family photos.
Chat GOT does a much better job.

I was looking for something that I could use to very quickly build simple slideshow videos for my Etsy shop products. Quick and Easy was the criteria, and Smartshow 3D was hands down winner. In just two or three minutes I can have a fully functioning slide show to feature my products in a professional eye grabbing production.

UPDATE: I received a notice from AMS on Oct. 17th, 2025 about a new version of their PhotoWorks program that had the previous problem of photo distortion. They sent me a link to download the new version and I did find the problem was resolved. Even though it did take some time to resolve, it was eventually and it is once again a good product. Thank you, AMS, for offering me the free download of the newest version. I look forward to continue being a satisfied customer.

I purchased the latest version of this company's PhotoWorks editing program to continue to use in my photo editing because I really like the product as well as several other software programs I purchased from them in the past. Unfortunately, the latest version of PhotoWorks has a major problem that I described to them in a support ticket that I created with AMS on June 2, 2025 (#163433). I have supplied numerous updates on what the program is/is not doing since then and still don't have any answer to my complaint. All I get is the 'engineers' are working on it. Their support system seems to be non-existent at this point.
REPLY TO AMS SOFTWARE:
Offering me free software is not a solution to the problem; I see it as a payoff to keep quiet. I have provided extensive information to you to resolve the issue and all I get are replies saying it's going to take your engineers a long time to fix it. Yet, you continue to advertise and sell the same PhotoWorks program as if nothing is wrong. I keep asking the software just to be fixed because I do like it and want to continue using it and have used previous versions of it successfully as well as other software you sell. You do have some great products which is why I do not understand why you are avoiding this issue.

This is the very best slideshow program available. It is very simple to use and looks very professional. All my friends have raved about my slideshow presentations and think they are great from this program.

I have several software versions from other companies that say they will make a slideshow...expensive ones from worldwide know companies. say they will. BUT SmartSHOW 3D is the only one that ever actually let me complete, publish and also save my work. So thank you, for actually doing what I paid for. Easy, fun and exciting to use!

For many years I have been using an NCH software package (and several others) to build personal music videos for family and friends. When I upgraded my PC to a Windows 11 laptop, I found out that... (1) The old software did not work in Windows 11 and (2) The software company no longer supported or upgraded it. I was then forced to search for a good presentation software product. Based on many excellent tech reviews, I ended up selecting your product and have not been disappointed. Everything I need to make great presentations (literally thousands of effects, transitions, clipart, photo adjustments, etc.) are included. Based on my previous software, I also found yours extremely easy to use. I can now look forward to continuing my music video hobby. Thanks

I have been searching for years for a program that could replace the one I used to use, which is no longer available. Smart SHOW 3D has me excited to get creating slide shows for family and friends once again!
I am still getting used to the workspace layout, but since the first time I opened the program and began exploring I can see the possibilities. Each time I work on a project, it feels more natural as I learn about all it has to offer and see my ideas come to life.
Grateful to have found this program!

I first saw your program Photo Glory at a friend of my father's.
I thought I had to have it too.
I didn't regret buying it.
The program is excellent and very easy to use when restoring old photos.

Since I am a sporty guy who is actively involved in diving and road cycling, all photos from land or under the sea need to be processed in a high quality way before presentation.

Working with the program itself is much easier than Photoshop, and your program is also cheaper.
After that, I bought Business Card Maker and then I bought the following programs in this order:
Home Photo Studio, Photo Calendar Creator, Photo Collage Maker,
PhotoDiva, PhotoWorks, Photo Effects Studio and Clipfy for video editing.
And as a final touch, I bought Passport Photo Maker.
Basically, I "collected a lot of them".
On 8 PCs, 4 of which are on Windows and 4 on Linux Mint.
I also run these programs on Linux Mint computers with the help of the WINE emulator: Home Photo Studio, Business Card Maker, Photo Calendar Creator, Photo Collage Maker, Photo Effects Studio and Passport Photo Maker.
They mostly work on Linux for a "very good" rating
On Windows they work for a "excellent" rating.
I definitely recommend your programs for purchase and use because they are easy to use with a lot of features and are far cheaper than other competitors.

AMS is a superb software. Ive been using for a number of years and been creating superb slide shows with images and music. The support team are excellent and any issue I had they solved within hours. For anyone looking for creative possibilities and liking arty projects this software is for you.
