Issuu Reviews

Issuu offers a very simple, easy to use and easy to understand platform which is refreshing. I also appreciate the options to add extra content like articles/stories to increase engagement on different devices.

The only problem we have run into with Issuu is the limited update and replace options. Other programs we have used in the past offered the option to replace a single page in the total publication - rather then having to re-upload the entire publication. When we are putting together a 100+ page publication, having to re-upload and re-link the entire thing if we find an issue on a single page can be a bit frustrating.

We publish our literary magazine once a year with a print version, and we use Issuu for the online version. I love the way it allows for full-screen viewing and simulates page flipping. We simply export our InDesign files as a pdf and upload to Issuu. It's also a great place to find other literary magazines for inspiration!

No complaints. It would be nice to have the ad-free version, but in education the budget is tight, so we really appreciate the free version with ads.

The ability to share the link with our colleagues, especially this year. So they are able to email, put on their fan page, or use a QR code for fans to check out the game day publication. Also the ability to get statics.

None that I can think of. We have been using this over 5+ years and have been successful using this platform.

I love that it's so easy to create an digital catalog to share on your social channels. I also like that it has some analytics, that is great to show your sellers.

I would like to be able to group my publications, by season, or year, or office. I would also li8ke to be able to create my own layout, add logos and text on pages, etc.

Issuu allows us to get a PDF of our print newspaper online at no cost to us.

The UI is not always easy or intuitive. Also, over the years, Issuu's attempts to monetize more of their business has led to taking away functionality that used to be free. That seems a violation of trust with their clients.

The ease and use of the software. It is easy to upload, edit, markup...you name it. Its easy to understand.

Nothing really. Ive seen some great improvements and features over the years.

The ability to share our Christmas Catalog online was the main purpose of using Issuu.

There wasn't anything that stood out to me as a negative :)

I love the ease of use in publishing content. The additional features to create documents into stories, gifs, etc. The analytics have also been so helpful!

I do not pay for the premium version, but I wish I had the extra features!

I really enjoy how easy it is to upload my pdfs into Issuu. I have never had any problem regarding formating, uploading, etc. during my time using Issuu. Everything is set up in a simple way that is easy to understand.

I feel like the stories features is slightly confusing to use, but the idea of it has great potential! The design options are limited, but nonetheless, they are still nice.

Issuu is incredibly easy to use, and the capabilities make it simple for users to access content.

I wish users could download the content into a PDF with the type of subscription our company purchased.

Easy to navigate
Half off discount
Style is clean
I like to keep track of statistics

I need to talk to a human, I have questions but there is no way to do that.

I have questions about the number of impressions, it seems low to me and I would like to know how you configure that. Also, the number of shares is low but the publication has been shared a lot on social media. Does ISSUU take into account social media stats?

Used to this for a lookbook, it was easy to setup up and share with viewers.

The slide transitions can be a bit slow at times.

Issuu has been so helpful in showcasing my marketing materials to potential and current clients. It is easy to use, access, and the layout of the platform is visually appealing.

Haven't had any issues with using Issuu.

The ease of use and customization was second to none. We have used this service for all of our digital issues over the years and will continue to.

We have not experienced any negative issues with the platform and highly recommend this for all your publication needs.

The creation of the PDF format was a leap forward. Without ways to share and view PDF files, the move toward a "paperless society" was problematic at best. Issuu helped users solve that problem. With Issuu, we can upload files and share links with many users via email or social media. The interface is clean and easy to use with enough customizability to make it look clean almost anywhere.

The one feature I miss in the free version is the ability to embed my PDF files on my websites. This is a rather basic function. I know the company has to make money and this is a feature that is worth paying for. It just hurts that it was free.

My business is a monthly print magazine and we have been using Issuu since 2013 and have seen the software evolve over the years and continue to add new features! I love being able to browse and find other publications. The interface is a beautiful way to display PDFs and allow users to feel like they are flipping through a publication. They have added be functions such as links and making text searchable. I also like how you can create smaller, select stories with certain pages only. The analytics are also very helpful

Issuu has helped us meet a business need as we use it to share our monthly magazine with our readers and then embed it to our website. I would say it is worth the basic subscription but for a small business, it is hard to afford the premium accounts that are actually quite pricey.

Issuu is fantastic, I love how smooth the user interface is, how easy it is to upload, and the ability to organize all of your publications into stacks. With nearly 1000 publications on the site, it makes distribution easy.

The newer features need to be fleshed out more. Mobile friendly article creation isn't bad, but it doesn't recognize paragraphs that stretch across 2 columns, and it struggles with photos sometimes. The article stories are a bit abysmal though, it doesn't make it easier than using Illustrator/Photoshop.

Issuu is great for designers who want a means to show their work. The booklet template is very straightforward for clients not used to Issuu.

No complaints overall. A more minimal graphic interface might declutter focus from our posts.

This is an easy to use tool for uploading and sharing anything from resumes and sample work, to presentations, that may be difficult to share via email. It is professional in appearance and easy to switch out or update documents if needed.

I have only used the free version and feel anything that is lacking is because I haven’t purchased the upgrade to access additional editing or enhancing capabilities. I will say sometimes it glitches out on me but I just refresh and try again

We've used Issuu for at least five years. No one compares to it at all. It's allowed us to take our print newspaper and offer an e-Newspaper for those who love to still read us, but who are out of the area. Truly, it's been a game changer for us — and I believe it's something every newspaper should use.

The pricing is borderline prohibitive — and I wish more features would be available for starter subs.

It allows us to put our print newspaper online our online news site

It used to be free and it was wonderful. Now it costs us money we do not have

The is great for my needs which is to upload our seasonal catalogs to be view virtually. It allows me to provide a direct link that I can share with all my customers. It is easy to use and quick so I don’t have to spend a lot of time to do what I need to!

I suppose some features are a little more difficult to figure out but I don’t need or have a real use for them.

Issuu is easy to use and navigate. I think it helps us with our marketing efforts and is a fair price point. I've been using it for years for a variety of clients, and people are always happy I suggested to do so.

For the free version, there are a lot of ads.

I can send my catalog through social media to customers & prospects easily. I can even share on my platforms

None i love using it. Easy. Safe. Shareable

As a print designer of magazines and annual reports issuu has been a great platform to share work digitally with clients and their audience.

Sometimes my clients have a limited budget and can’t always afford the cost.
