Issuu Pros and Cons

Issuu makes it easy to create a magazine format, familiar to most people, that can carry text, images, video, and audio.

Because the presentation format is "magazine" with turnable pages, it's possible to imbed all different kinds of media in a "storytelling" framework.

This same media can be easily overlooked when presented in isolation.

In a magazine format, where people are progressing through information or entertainment in a way they are familiar, people engage more with the information on individual pages.

Also, magazines are one format where people expect to see ads and ads are an integral and sought out part of the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are a solopreneur or publisher, It can be difficult to keep track of the details, especially if you have mulitple publications. Issuu requires a user to be detail-oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The professionalism of the platform. So many other online platforms introduce advertisements or things that lower the visual quality, and I am so pleased that ISSUU has not gone down that road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to say anything bad, it would be the cost. But also, I haven't figured out how to promote my work at ISSUU. There isn't any info on how the platform decides to present material. It is harder and harder for smaller companies to get exposure. But it would be nice to know if it is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved the user-friendly format and connection to Canva. I love that there is a URL to share with our stakeholders. Easy to include in an email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything that I don't like at this point Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using this platform since 2016. Since then, I've recommended it to numerous of our clients and we had only positive experience. I love how you can almost instantly elevate the visual presentation of PDF file and see the detailed statistic for each publication. My graphic design and photography studio use its features for self-promotion and portfolio presentation. Some of my favourite features are:

- unlisted mode for publications

- inserting and editing video and links Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We never use the articles feature, but I believe it can be useful for people that want a quick solution for their social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is the customer support of this app which is at its best. it is a very easy-to-use platform and user-friendly. its various features is helpful for our publications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not dislike but a suggestion , it should increase some feature for free subscription user. Some time i face getting slow loading issue that nees to be cheacked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Issuu is a very easy-to-use platform with plenty of features to help spread the word about our publication. The social media features are incredibly useful. The customer support team have also been responsive and helpful if any issues are encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are trying to figure out the best way to use the great design features on social media without relying too heavily on the stories function. The flipbook looks great, but in our experience, is not user-friendly on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Issuu is the high-quality display of our materials that allow us to seamlessly showcase our work to current and potential clients and partners. The ease of the user experience helps us to market and advertise with low stress and the certainty that how we want our portfolio displayed will be maintained.

We have not found an issue with Issuu! The things like slow load speed, or uploading crashes when working with such large resolution documents have not been problems at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot. I like that it has a flipbook. That is literally about all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly restricive. Buggy. Absolutly abismal customer support. Litterally takes days to receive replies and they don't even read about the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Issuu makes publishing content easy and seamless for us on the backend while also presenting digital publications in an accessible and interactive format for our clients. The platform allows us to constantly update our publications without changing links and disrupting our clients' viewing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While few downsides come to mind when thinking about Issuu, one I have felt is the lack of unlisted publication slots available for many of their lower-tier subscription plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The possibility of accessing content at any time and place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not yet possible to include audio in publications, which would be very useful if it were implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
