What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
It will create an ePub3 and it is a stand alone program so there is no subscription as with Adobe. The people in India try to help and are nice. I have hopes that I may eventually be able to create a good ePub from my InDesign files, but it may kill me first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
Pretty much everything else. I taught myself PageMaker in the 90s and InDesign and PhotoShop later on. On occasion I looked something up online, but it was intuitive. With Quark nothing seems intuitive. Everything takes more keystrokes (such as having to click on something then press <ctrl> k to delete it and that's the tip of the iceberg - having to move type is a whole new nightmare and takes twice as long) I purchased it because I hate the subscription of Adobe and can't really afford it, but I need to create ePub3 files and Quark imports InDesign files. It's be untold hours trying to get a single reflowable epub created with the images in the right place. The User Manual is nearly unusable, the online resources go everywhere but the word you search and there are no books, no online tutorials, and where multiple sites have InDesign information, I pretty much can't find Quark anywhere. If it weren't for the ePub need, and the cursed Adobe subscription ripoff, I would have never touched this program with a ten foot pole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
Quark is easy to learn. I got on the job training and was worried about layout but it was pretty intuitive and laid out in a way that made sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
I wish it worked with other programs, like photoshop. I wish you could do more with the photos or at least could have opacity features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
Industry standards help professionals do work. QuarkXPress is an industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
Quark's subscription-only business model means hobbyists must budget real money to use the program and won't likely continue using it forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
Quark is an amazing publishing and design platform. I've been using it since my first design job almost 20 years ago. I'm a happy loyal customer and user. It's incredibly intuitive and works well with my other preferred platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
The cost per logins can be pricey but with all the support you get, I understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
I find the program supremely easy to use, but that may be because I grew up on it, using it from its earliest days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
I dislike that so many folks work in InDesign, so it isn't easy to swap files, etc. I also am distraught that there is no program released yet that allows me to open old Quark files (from the 1990s and 2000s) in the most recent version of Quark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quark is not as widely accepted as Adobe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuarkXPress?
The ability to create invitations, form letters and letterhead for my nonprofit. Unlike other programs, images stay put and the program makes it easy to then add text, graphs, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about QuarkXPress?
Nothing! Quark is the only program I have ever used and I have been using it since the early 2000's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
