Lovebox Heartfelt Messaging Reviews

by AlwaysFrigginWet

LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging used to be good. Now, most of the good templates are locked behind a $5/month pay wall. You pay $130 for the box and then expected to shell out even more money every single month? It’s shameful.

You have multiple options of messages to send to your box. You can send images from your camera roll, templates of images provided in LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging , or gifs also provided by LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging . The images from your camera roll are free to send. There are free options for the templates and gifs and then there are others that are locked behind the subscription. The free templates are nothing short from a horrendous eye sore. Images and gifs that are laughable in quality. Everything that it at least decent or better, you must pay for.

This company was ruined by greed. It is more than a joke that you need to pay more than $130 for the box to use the good features. The product used to be worth the price, however, this is no longer close to being true. Avoid at all costs.

I bought a LoveBox for my SO several months ago and we have both loved it until the supposedly new and improved app. I just found out that not one message has gone through since the update, meaning it appeared that I didn’t send any notes for our anniversary or for Christmas. I also miss the use of the in app emojis and the automatic reformatting to left aligned in the history has me concerned that my messages aren’t going to show up right if they were to go through. Furthermore, the received status is sorely missed as without it there was no way for me to tell that there were issues.

Developers, please consider reverting to the previous version of LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging until you can fix this one; until now I’ve absolutely loved using your product and your app, and I hope to again soon.

Update:
Today I tried resetting the LoveBox and when I finished all the messages I had sent came through after it said it updated. I’m glad it’s working again, but wish it would have been able to update on its own or at least that it hadn’t needed to be updated right before Christmas. Additionally, the features formerly available on LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging would have made this problem far easier to diagnose.

I love this product. Everything about the love box is amazing and I think the concept is extremely unique and effective! My girlfriend recently moved into a university apartment and it has a wifi that you have to sign into using the web. Unfortunately, for some reason LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging does not support this way of connecting to wifi. I now can not use the product in itself and I haven’t been able to use it for a while. I don’t want to call this product a waste of my $100 but at this very moment, there’s no denying that it is. I would love to use the Love Box again but I’ve looked in the FAQ and the last time this problem was brought up was years ago. There hasn’t been an update regarding this issue and the Love Box seems to ignore this problem. It’s upsetting that there doesn’t seem to be a resolution to this issue in the foreseeable future.
If, however, the Love Box team does fix this issue, I would have no issue stating that this little box is one of the greatest gifts I have given my girlfriend. :)

I love the idea, I love the box and I don’t regret buying it whatsoever. In fact it is both my boyfriend and I’s favorite gift for each other. I even highly recommend getting it as it’s easy to set up as well. Not only that but it’s just really cute and good for people or couples who send little endearing messages to each other through the day. I mean it when I say I love it!!! HOWEVER, although everything is amazing I don’t see why I have to spend $5 every month for a subscription for decent templates in LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging after I bought 2 of their boxes… which is A LOT of money. It’s disappointing and I sort of feel scammed into paying even more than the 2 boxes for some decent creative templates. I liked the original send to earn coins and then use them to purchase stickers. But if needed to compromise I would change LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging to have non-LoveBox users (people without the actual box) get a subscription option but for those who actually purchased the not-so-cheap box to not have to pay even more for something decent.

Love having family send me pictures. Wonderful gift and concept. Downside is the software. I no longer get phone/watch notifications. The pictures disappear when you put the lid back on, which is the only way to check for more “love.” If you put the lid on and the heart spins again, you open it and find a new message, but if it doesn’t spin, you open it to find a disappointing pixilated phrase with your box’s address. It would be far better to not lose that last image and still display it, so you never want to cover it. The heart doesn’t spin between sequential messages that come in for me.

Also, checking LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging , I see not all messages have come through. :( Reports from sender that they are having difficulty getting message to send sometimes.

You’re on the brink of being so much better and with programming being what it is today, not sure why you haven’t achieved some of improvements.

I recently moved across the country from my parents. I’m not really big on texting and phone calls, but I do love taking photos (tho I don’t really post on social). This was such a perfect gift! Now whenever I do anything I can send a quick photo to keep them in touch and informed on my life - whether that’s a pic of a new dish I learned to cook or my textbook at a cafe I spent the whole day at. I think it’s really fun and I hope my whole family will think of buying one.

My only complaint and reason for 4/5 - is that the photo sent to the box is only good one time. So if my dad opens the box while my mom is away or vice versa only one person gets to see it and the other gets bummed out. I wish the photos sent could last for at least 24 hours after opening (or be ok for 2 openings) so that they could check it again later.

I bought a love box for my partner and I to have at home. We work opposite shifts and sometimes can feel a bit distanced by the difference in our sleep/work schedules. Aside from that, I enjoy sending/giving affirmations and little reminders or goofy jokes throughout the day. And I don’t really ever require a reply, though through texting it can sometimes create a pressure to respond, and texting platforms only let you get so creative.

This solves all this for us and has given us an additional way to communicate, and has been so lovely, charming, whimsical, and genuinely just helpful.
LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging itself is amazing and hasn’t given me any issues. You have so much freedom with how you create your love message, and I can’t wait to see what new and exciting additions come out in the future.
I’d give this to all of the top 5 important people in my life. It’s such a gentle, calm, and charming way to stay connected with loved ones. I just can’t say enough nice things.

I love the lovebox and so does my boyfriend (who i gifted it to)! However, I wish their was a way to search for gifs or stickers instead of having to scroll through them all. There might be a way to do it, but I haven’t been able to find it. Other than that, it works perfectly and he loves coming home to the little spinning heart when we aren’t together! I would just love to be able to search “love” or “hi” or whatever to get gifs that relate to that topic.

Edit: thank you for the response!! I have changed my rating to 5 stars because once there is the search option it will be perfect! I can’t wait!!

I gave it to my wife last Valentines and it has been a fun way to keep the love spreading all year long! Simple little love notes seem so much more special in that little wooden box. She love it and I enjoy sending them. I like that they keep updating it too with new things. It’s not perfect? But what relationship is?🤣 bugs I found are minor and I’m sure they will resolve them. (when trying to send a postcard or Instagram. It send you to a new page asking for a new contact and then it says existing contacts but it doesn’t have any existing people under it) So for short🤣😂 it is a joy to have… Thank you to the team….🙏🏼

(Reviewing the color version)
Needed something different for the wife/mom of the house... she has everything and is so tough to shop for... found this idea randomly online and it’s a huge hit!! My 7-yo loves sending messages to his Mom of playful graphics, colored messages, and selfies. Tried it from iOS devices old and new, and works great. Hit “Send” and 15 or so seconds later, the heart starts spinning.

It’s pricey but you are also paying for uniqueness and ease of use. My 7-yo does not have a phone but he can use LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging on his iPad. The box is beautifully crafted wood and the screen looks great, though it does not take up the entire space. I can’t understand how people compare this to a phone picture message—you get those from literally everyone and when that phone is unlocked, the email opens, social media beckons attention, and the shared image is eclipsed. This is a distinct way to share a smile and it does. You can actually leave the phone on the side for once.

Customer service is great—had a question and received a well-articulated, professional response in less than 24 hours during a holiday weekend.

To the developer: A few added features I did not see would improve LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging—ability to resend, custom/downloaded GIFs, different colored text from graphics, more flexibility of text placement, and audible alert.

Of course you could send a text or call or email, but these days it can be an interruption or get lost in junk mail clutter our personal devices seem to attract. So, like an old school postcard before the days when deliveries were subsidised by advertisements, it's fun to see a message is waiting, like a personal mailbox just for your person in mind that only you can send to. Anywhere with an internet connection, the box let's one know a thought was sent. No more dissuasion from sending. It's fun for the sender to know it's waiting... And fun for the receiver to think a message might be waiting.

I recently started school a long way away from home, and hubby and I got these ♥️📦s as gifts to make the long distance a teeny bit easier. We love them so much. It’s such a fun way to send a little bit of love throughout the day. My favorite thing on a quiet morning is hearing the heart doing its spinny spins. It’s almost like the sound of a clock, but really it’s your hooman saying “I’m thinking of you”.

The only thing I can think of to improve LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging itself would be to add a search option to look for stickers etc, or to allow us to pick favorite stickers/templates so that we don’t have to scroll through a bunch of them each time!

My mother and I purchased 2 Loveboxes for my out of state grandmothers for Mother’s Day. Neither are in need of anything and flowers become mundane and often feel thoughtless. When my grandmother received hers, she immediately told us it was one of the best gifts she had ever received; SCORE!! Her entire day is made when she sees her little heart spinning!! Life makes staying in touch hard, but Lovebox makes it easy, special, and unique! Definitely a gift that keeps on giving!!

One of my grandmothers did have some issues setting it up (technology, as user-friendly a set up it was, is not her strong suit) but has hers up and running! I am certain she will love hers as much as my other grandmother does!!

My boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year now, I met him online and he’s all the way from France. We’ve been finding ways to make our relationship more special and I saw a lot of TikToks with people using this product so we eventually tried it out. We both love it a lot, it always makes my day to receive little surprise messages.

The box design is so cute and I love the size of it. We both thought it was a bit pricey but honestly it’s so worth it. I just wish that we had more flexibility when it comes to customizing messages like fonts and stuff but other than that I think this was a great choice!

My boyfriend got me this for our three year anniversary. While we used to live in the same town, I moved over an hour away 9 months into the relationship. While we’ve obviously been happy & making the relationship work, this was a cute idea to add to another way to communicate as communication is HUGE for us. I wake up often to a message or if he knows I’ve had a crappy day at the office, he’ll send me a message. It’s cute & definitely adds some romance to the relationship. It’s small enough to fit on my nightstand. Doesn’t make any noise & was super easy to set up! You can send yourself messages as well & and invite other people who have these boxes to send messages!

My mother is well past 100, and though she’s still sharp, her hearing and ability to communicate are becoming problematic. She can’t handle technology well anymore either, and we recently moved her into care, and she decided it wasn’t worth wasting space on a computer. The lovebox doesn’t take up much room and is simple for her to operate. I send her greetings every day, as do my siblings, the grandkids and great grandkids, and it has made a world of difference to us all. She’s very prompt to read them, and I know immediately when she does. The fact that she’s so quick assures me how much the messages mean to her, and I love getting a shower of hearts back! I plan on ordering one for my father in law.

My husband started leaving me love notes on the coffee machine before he went to work in the mornings. I loved this! But he is gone months on end for fire season, and I mean 4-5 months at a time and off and on in the off season. So I would miss out on my love notes. This box showed up at the front door two days ago. We now have to get another box just for our 9 and 10 year old because they see the heart spinning and feel left out because it’s for mum’s eyes only (not always appropriate😁) this was the best gift to make up for my morning love notes. Yes, I can’t save a bunch of heart shaped sticky notes, but This is awesome! And he got the color + photo. This makes it even more personal and fun!

This seemingly simple concept, beautifully executed, belies its extraordinary power as a communications tool for conveying loving (romantic or otherwise) emotion from one person to another. I could go into great depth on why I believe this is the case but my suggestion is that if the price and access are not an issue, and you are the sort of person who thinks more about a person you love than you communicate that feeling to the other person, this may change both of your lives. In no longer than it takes to send a text you can leave someone a little (love) note that will make their day, without the burden on them or on you of feeling like you have to engage in a direct correspondence as a result.

I recently moved for a new job over 400 miles away from my wife for the next few months while she waits for our daughter to finish high school. We message all the time on a variety of apps, and they all work great, but they are never anything special. For her birthday I wanted to get something that would bring something special back to our communication and this was perfect. She works often from home and is so excited when she see’s the heart spin on her box, anxious to open it up! The ability to share pictures on the color version is extra nice to have and the device itself works great. Added bonus is my daughter can use it on her phone when she goes off to college, so I see this being a part of our fun special communication for years to come. Thanks for a great product!

(This has been mentioned before, but custom GIFs would be great to be able to use!)

I’m so in love with this little guy… My parents moved from CO to NC about four years ago, and this has been the most fun way to communicate with my mom. She adores everything about it, especially seeing the cute little spinning heart on the front when a message is received. I would literally recommend this to anyone, and would be super fun for a couple to send loving messages throughout the day. Hoping they add a few more options for the message customization as updates come out, but literally zero complaints! If you’re thinking about getting one, just DO IT! I promise it’s worth it! And so reasonably priced for what you get, with no annual subscriptions/contracts. Thank you LoveBox!

Everything about LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging is great, but when it comes to drawing your own art, it drives me mad. It is absolutely frustrating trying to erase and switching back to pen as it would frequently (almost every time) erase when you’re trying to draw; and draw when you’re trying to erase. I almost have to make no mistakes so that I don’t erase. It’s not confusing to use, it’s just confusing when the eraser function isn’t tapped and it erases, clicking the undo buttons flips the erase/pen usage to almost breaking the user input and control of the eraser and pen. That’s a pretty large defect. I noticed this issue has been around since early December of 2019–would love the developer’s attention.

We use the love box for our kids. They reside in two different homes so it’s our way of staying in touch when they are at their Moms. It’s great for the little ones who can’t write because pictures and emojis let them know we love them and are thinking about them. All they have to do it turn the heart to tell us they read it. Our 6 year old feels so special getting “texts”.

We got it for Christmas last year and haven’t missed a day yet. When we say G’nite on the phone the kiddos all say, remember to send us love boxes! Which we always do!

The schedule feature is great! When we will be working or traveling in an area that has poor reception we can schedule messages for a specific time. We can also use the schedule feature to send a note for a specific reason such as “good luck on your music performance tonight”.

Only note: We wish we could type on the pictures since it’s really hard to write clearly.

Thanks Love Box!

by Demeyer

I’m just trying the new version now. I don’t like that you’ve removed the “received” indicator on messages. Before, we were able to see if the message was successful received at the other end, but still unread. Now, we only see unread. One of our loveboxes is in an area where the WiFi connection is spotty and it’s useful to know if the messages have been received in addition to being read. I wish you’d add back the “received” indicator.

I was starting a contract out of town this year. This is never easy for my fiancé. Got this for her in hopes to ease our distance. Told her, anyone can send you a text, but not every message will be as meaningful and eagerly anticipated as the ones you find in this box.
She absolutely loves this box, talks about it to everyone and is always anxious and excited to come home and see that little heart spinning. I can’t tell how much more the words in The Lovebox mean to her, than a simple and monotonous text or email. Perfect gift!

by Chumbake

Wife is not a “Techie type person” and when she got the love box was a little concerned it would be “one more digital thing she has to check”. BUT, she admits that her concern was unfounded. She aCtually LOVES seeing the heart spin and get messages from me.

She’s told me multiple times how much she loves the gift. One day when I was really busy at work and she let me know at the end of the day she was sad to not see the heart spin and get a message that day.

This gift for her was a winner. LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging is great. It’s perfect for sending little notes to my wife. I’m hoping for continued updating of LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging to being new features and options for drawing, including emojis, etc...

by Charlo216

My grandparents are far away from me and the family is going through a tough time with my grandpa being sick so my uncle got this for them and so now the family can send them loving and encouraging messages and it lifts my grandparents spirits with every message. I definitely recommend this for anyone that is far from family, going through deployments or even close to each other and just want to send sweet messages to remind them they love each other.

by Jennee222

I bought this for my daughter as a Christmas present so that she can receive messages from me and my family and relatives. It is a good way to remind her she is loved, missed, and thought of to include positive messages or affirmation since she lives on the other side of the US. Although she can send us love (rain of hearts) back to let us know she read and loves us, it would be great if she could send a message back as well. Other than that I recommend this for anyone anywhere and any age!

by Its.Pablo

Thank you so much for creating such a product , LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging is easy to function and the box itself is such a well put together aesthetic art. You can set it up without needing to being next to it , you can ship it to whom you want to receive it and simply follow the steps between your partner and you and off it goes!

Couldn’t have thought of a better long distance communication that formulates love
Thank you again!

I gave my mom a Lovebox for her 70th birthday last year and it has truly been the gift that keeps on giving. I live in another state and it’s a wonderful way to let my mom know I’m thinking about her. She loves to see the spinning heart on her Lovebox and I love to get my heart “shower” in return.

Some of her friends have seen her Lovebox and asked her about it. Several of them have since purchased one for their children and/or grandchildren. It’s a great way to bridge the distance between loved ones and spread some joy!

by Alixddb

I got the Lovebox more than 6 months ago for my grandparents. I live really far away from my entire family and was often feeling guilty at this time, for not taking care of them as I wished to.
As the number of users is unlimited, my parents, brothers, cousins, aunts & uncles are now connected to my grand parents app. I know that they get some special heartfelt messages from one us every day, and it makes me so happy.
I was also very surprised by a new feature: we can now draw on LoveboxHeartfeltMessaging something to be send on the Lovebox. The youngest kids are even able to send message to the Lovebox.
My grands parents love it and they told be they were sometimes staring at the Lovebox waiting for its little heart to spin.
I recommend it to every family, couples and friends.
Welcome love in your home.

by Phil Medic

I bought the Love Box for my wife for our anniversary. I work a lot and spend days away from home at times. She's admitted that she gets excited every time she sees it spinning and even our children (6, 2, 1) go, "Mommy, Daddy sent you a message!" Not difficult to set up if you follow the directions, zero maintenance required. I'd love to see an update that would give the ability to send photos, but I'm quite happy with the purchase as it stands now.

by Jaynut G

I am a real life person with a real life husband who is impossible to shop for. I bought this on a whim thinking we would never use it. BUT HE FREAKING LOVES IT!! It’s in his office and even though I get a notice saying when he receives a note, he still texts me to tell me how much he loves it. If I forget to send one, he comes home sad - now I schedule them so I don’t forget :)
Perfect for a spouse who works a lot of hours and a nice way to stay connected and make them feel loved.

by Sandi I.

The Lovebox has been a wonderful connection between me and my kids when I’m traveling so much for work. I love the rain of hearts they send back by spinning the heart. It gives us a feeling of closeness even though we are far. And I love the new graphics! When I don’t have time to write, I can do a quick graphic to let them know I’m always thinking of them when I’m away. Best gift I ever bought for myself and them!

by ASchmalz

My friends gave this to their grandmother, she’s a dear friend and my kids love her as well so we started sending her positive messages. We love getting hearts back just as much as she loves getting the messages. What a wonderful and positive way to reach out to loved ones in a small way with BIG rewards. Everyone needs one, we are planning to send one to my mom this Valentine’s Day!
