As an early example of e-publication software, Issuu has helped our company share content consistently for nearly a decade.

I like the design of the reader and the ease of creating custom embedded readers most

The major con with Issuu is that embeds and other small features that used to be free are now only available to paid users, and the cost is very high. Basic functions are bundled into packages with premium services that I do not need, so I have started using other embedded readers on our website that are free of charge.

My experience in general is positive, we with our company rely on Issuu, so it is a winning product, especially because it allows you to manage your publications, send private or public viewing links.

In case you are (mostly) a business or freelancer with editorial publications you want the digital world to view: no doubt Issuu is the tool for you.The exact feel and sensation of how to flip through a book/magazine is probably its strongest point compared to all competitors: the animation and sound are perfect, so it is really satisfying to flip through, nothing like scrolling through pages on a pdf.

Issuu's big weak point is its interface. it is unattractive, fresh, and cool: it has remained too tied to its old versions, so it is nice to scroll through the pages of their published files but not nice to navigate.

Overall it's a good tool to showcase creative and professional portfolios and share them with people. Interactive transition while flipping pages gives a very natural and feel good vibe.

The layout available is easy and interactive to use. Digital form of magazine and portfolio layouts are good to look at and gives a boost to creative portfolio.

The search engine within the software can get better. Profession based or interest base search results will be much appreciated.

Issuu is very good. It is professional. It’s quick and easy to use and you have a permanent link to the final product.

Issuu is easy to use. It’s professional and it is sleek. The design is very nice. The ease of access is good. Not to mention the actual final product is very very professional and of high quality.

The pay wall. You can only upload 50 pages for free and with a limit of 50MB. This is okay for small projects but for portfolios you have to be precise with the amount of pages and use compression software.

With Issuu, we were able to allow our audience to 'experience' content - not simply 'consume' it. The immersive and interactive interface gives us the ability to reach our audience in a way that resonates. We believe the very same content shared on a different platform would be a very different effect (a less impactful one). In need of a dynamic solution, as opposed to a static option, Issuu is the only platform we will use for our online magazine and resource guides.

With its ease of use and efficiency, I love the ability to repurpose and redistribute content with one asset across multiple channels. At the same time, it's entirely forgiving of human error with nearly realtime updates rendered for any and every edit.

Love to have customizable short links for the long URLS that are produced for the full screen experience. Also love to link visual stories to specific URLS. In addition, I'd love to be able to incorporate videos in article stories. :)

I will always be grateful to Issuu for providing so many of us with a straightforward way to publish our work, and make it accessible to readers all around the world.

Issuu has been the best way to share my zine and art books online. I love that people can read them as flip-through publications (and not just as a Pdf). I've had an account for about 8 years, and it has allowed my work to be seen around the world, which has greatly added to my confidence as a creator and zine maker.

I would love for the analytics to be more accessible to all users, and not just those on Premium. I had a free account for many years, until I recently purchased the Premium tier because of an end-of-year offer. I'm excited to be able to sell publications, and I'm glad I can see my analytics once again, but I still find it too expensive. It would also be great to see more features that can help with layout and the creative part (sort of like Blurb and Bookwright). I also think the Visual Stories component can be better. I'd like to be able to edit where the text goes (centered, vs left or right), whether I'm using caps or lower case, etc.

Being able to link to the book previews I upload gives the press a marketing and promotion advantage whereby readers can see exactly what the books look like. I am considering the plan which allows folks to buy a version and download the entire book, but I have not looked to deeply into the plan or its function.

Right now I use the free account as I have not been able to go to a paid account. But I love the product and hope to upgrade in the future. The issuu.com book previews are made from PDF files and easy to upload. They look just like the print books I design and have great features, such as being able to enlarge the document while maintaining a clear representation of the text, which is very sharp. The same is true of cover images. The entire function of the flippable document is far greater than any e-book I've seen.

I was disappointed to lose the embedding option but links are just fine to put on a website or media post. There are some minor issue with the old embed interfering with editing a page in Wordpress but it is not difficult to re-do a page.

Our school definitely appreciates having a home on the web to archive our publications. Professional appearance with nice sorting capabilities. Nice social sharing and easy to pull out stories for custom sharing. Well done.

There are so many features that cost. As a small private educational institution who is not wanting to use Issuu to sell, we cannot afford the $20 each month to house our materials, even though begin able to schedule to publish and allow viewers to occasionally download would be excellent. We wish there was a educational/non-profit discount. We use smugmug for exactly the same purposes with photos, and their $75/year is very doable to gain some extra features over the free version. There are commercial features we miss out on there as well, but we don't sell our photos either, so it's just right.

I love it! I'll keep using it and I consider it the industry standard for digital publication.

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.

Being able to things such as portfolio, pamphlets, image heavy documents and the like, was incredibly easy and beneficial. I would recommend this to any of my colleagues.

It's incredibly easy to share documents with anyone and maintain a professional, quality driven aesthetic. It also works great as an archive!

Can't really give any cons! If there was something, I would highly encourage the company to provide in depth trainings/tutorials to show how to maximize the use of the documents. How to effectively implement stories, make the document interactive, and so forth. Would be great!

I have been using it for a while to share marketing material I want to present to my clients. It is easy to upload, easy to share, and the document viewer is great. All in all, it makes it easy and fast for me to share my work with the people who need to see it. I also used it to embed some documents to certain websites, but I haven't been doing too much of that recently.

It allows me to easily and without much work publish marketing material for my clients to see. It makes it very easy to share the material and I don't have to worry much about the technical aspects of it all.

Embedding the publications is a bit technical, but nothing too hard. There aren't any other significant issues with Issuu.

It's a really easy way to get my portfolio up, along with any presentation. I've been using issuu since 2011 and I've been a fan ever since. It's also really easy to get your booklets printed - at a way more affordable price than most places as well.

Over the years, it's become limited due to popularity and usage. There were a lot more tools and features available to free subscribers. I don't need to use it enough to have to pay for a subscription, however, for those that use it to post their portfolios when needed, some more features would be nice.

Love being able to share PDFs and mimic the experience of a printed book. Great for my real estate clients when they want to share leasing brochures without the expense of printing and mailing a book.

I think if there's a way to add in video, a way to make the PDFs more interactive, that would be a game changer. Also sharing better on social media.

I have had no problems and will continue using.

I like the ease of use and that the basic package is free. For a small shop, this is ideal because every dollar is stretched. Issuu gives us just what we need to stay competitive.

There's really nothing that I dislike. I do wish that there could be some sort of filters for where ads are placed. Sometimes ads and other publication suggestions that appear near my content is not appropriate for young viewers.

I like that the software is easy-to-use. It's easy to integrate into my regular schedule and doesn't feel like an occasional "daunting" task. I really love the fact I can go into my account and see an archive of the association's magazines.

I can't say that it's a Con with the software, but I wish I had reason to use it more. Our association only publishes 2 magazines/year. In the future, we may enlist newsletters.

I cancel my plan because I was paying 58.00 and for what. Their software does not convert links. You put a link and still have to find a photo just so someone can click on the icon. I tried to get my refund. Just to have a CS to tell me that they are not obligated to pay. Then they sent me to the help center and it has nothing but foolishness on it. I contact another CS she saying on their end it was not canceled I went back in and cancel and told them I want my refund. I am just tired of these companies ripping people off. I went back to basics 2 weeks before my billing was due and on July 4 I get a message that they took 58.00 out after I cancel.

At first, I was really happy about starting up my new magazine about 11/2 years ago. It was somewhat easy.

The links do not convert. I am an ambassador for an airline company.

Issuu has helped support other digital marketing efforts. It's easy!

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.

Despite the things that disappointed me, I have enjoyed my overall experience with using the software over the years.

I like Issuu’s easy to use features like file uploading, ease of distribution, it’s attractive presentation as a print magazine and its ease of use across multiple platforms like desktop and the mobile webb.

I have been using Issuu software since 2010 and I have to say that I was disappointed when the company changed some of the free features I enjoyed using over the years to paid features like url linking and full access to user statistics. I was the most disappointed about the introduction of sales as a paid feature.

Using it every week for 6-7 years.

This is the best way I've found to make digital issues of our print product. It's easy, and it works with everything.

Would like to see more features, but I'm using the free so it's all good.

I have a good experience with issuu is been a great tool to us in somos magazine.

Issuu is a great tool to have to extend our reach for viewers and customers, easy to share to your contacts on different platforms.

I don’t found anything to point, I think they doing good improvements.

Some of the greater assest ISSUU provided us are the capability to embed videos in our magazine and we love the Article Stories feature. Allowing us to easily share every single article on is own is a great way to build a content library for our Social Media accounts.

We hope that in the future the integration of videos will also be available for the Article Stories. An other great upgrade would be the capability to upload new images if the one in the pdf doesn't work for the Article or Visual Stories.

I use ISSUU to provide an online option for my clients to view my materials. It’s especially handy in these times where everything is now virtual.

For my needs there are no downsides to ISSUU

I love the look and functionality of my digital lookbooks. They're easy for my clients to use and they help give me an edge to look more professional and give a more luxury experience.

I use Issuu to upload my client session guides and lookbooks. It guides me through the steps of getting my work published and online. User interface is simple and intuitive. It's easy to share my work with my clients and the end product looks great!

So far I don't have any recommendations for changes.

For a small business or individual, I think $20 per month is steep for sharing one's work on their website. The STARTER plan doesn't offer much other benefit. Might look for other similar alternative apps online.

Pleasant to look through the publication. Easy to share my work.

I started to use issuu years ago and I could embed the publication on my website. Now it's a paid feature, which is disappointing. I don't use embed feature enough to justify the monthly fee.
