Review any file format, including JPEG, PDF, MP4, and more with a full suite of annotation tools. Communicate directly in the review tool with clients, contractors, and internal teams so feedback never gets scattered across emails. Built-in tools for packaging and CPG artwork set Approval Studio apart: barcode scanner, color separation, and AI-based compliance reports catch errors before they become costly mistakes. Keep projects organized with a Kanban board, task assignments, and a full audit trail. Connect your existing stack via Slack, Zapier, Adobe Creative Cloud, Shopify, or the open API. If you're building AI-powered workflows, Approval Studio's MCP server lets you connect any automation platform or AI agent so your approval process runs the way your team actually works. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 39 users.

My team is protected now :) > > **Cons**: The service is still in the development, I hope they introduce some task management system like Trello or else. So far I'm using ApprovalStudio for collecting feedbacks and change requests and Asana for task and projects. Having automated integration would be a plus for me. ----- ### "A great tool for remote work" — 5.0/5 > **Olga** | *22 June 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our team can chat online directly in the comments under artwork when we need to discuss something. It makes remote work much easier, and it was the main feature we wanted from a design review app. Also, the review tool is quite good, together with compare modes. > > **Cons**: We had to go through several training sessions and it took some time for our designer and clients to get used to it. Other than that, it's ok. > > After a couple of weeks, the app became an important part of our workflow. Whenever we need to check some image or document, we use it. The good thing is that it saves everything and you can check all the feedback and previous versions to see if you did everything right. A very useful tool, our team likes it a lot. ----- ### "Vital for projects with lots of deliverables" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This tool was absolutely crucial to organizing and tracking QA and approvals for a recent dynamic banner campaign. We had over 250 pieces of creative requiring internal and client approval and I can't imagine what the team would have done without it. > > **Cons**: Honestly I struggle to find any negatives. Nitpicking, but the interface could use a bit of a refresh to give things a bit more breathing room. > > Approval Studio was a great solution to the we-got-lots-of-stuff-to-review problem\! ----- ### "Excellent choice for design approval in remote teams" — 5.0/5 > **Maryna** | *10 June 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our team really enjoyed how simple our approval process became with Approval Studio. We no longer exchange endless emails and can use compare modes to make sure we haven’t missed anything. Good to have everything organized in one place — design files, reference documents, project info, timeline, etc. > > **Cons**: It took us a bit of time to get used to the new workflow although it’s not really a problem of the tool itself. ----- ### "It is a great help for our marketing projects" — 5.0/5 > **Alina** | *16 July 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been working with graphics for a while and had some problems with our flow - you can never find any art files you send to somebody to review in the stack of emails. This app has everything in one place, feedback too. This makes our work with graphics much faster. > > **Cons**: It would be cool to have some more brand customization options for your company. > > We use visuals for our marketing and we must always be sure they are good. Approval Studio helps us to do it and saves much time. We can focus on other marketing tasks more because we are never stuck with graphics review anymore. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/288308/approval-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/288308/approval-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
