Give it a go\!" — 5.0/5 > **Melanie** | *7 May 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ability to quickly convert my PDF files into beautifully published designs that are interactive. The isn't a steep learning curve so it was easy to hop right in and create. I like the range of features offered such as sharing, embed, interactive links and the fact that there is a free plan available. > > **Cons**: I don't like that they have eliminated some of the features that were once included in their free plan. The paid plans can be a bit cost prohibitive if you have a limited number of designs to convert over the period of a year for example. > > Using Issue has been a fun experience and a great way to showcase creative designs easily. It is incredibly easy to create interactive designs that reflect your brand. Whether souvenir booklets, project summaries, presentations and more, it's a great way to showcase your designs. ----- ### "Issuu: your library 3.0" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 January 2023* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- ### "Leaving Issuu after 10+ years" — 1.0/5 > **Shawna** | *12 December 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have used it for well over a decade. It provides the fundamentals. And historical issues are available. > > **Cons**: The support is non-existent. If you reach out all you get is bot replies. No matter what you say or provide, there is no human to help resolve a problem. And pricing continues to go up beyond what all of their competitors are charging. There is no reason to stay with issuu. > > We have emailed back and forth with their bots at least 4X over a period of days. It's a complete waste of time. One of our publications isn't loading and they do not care, as we are paid up for another 11 months. ----- ### "ISSUU is an exceptional publishing platform for even the novice" — 5.0/5 > **Dorrett** | *2 September 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Issuu has a widereach with diverse audience and I am able to tap into that > > **Cons**: It has removed some basic features from its basic plans > > It is a very good platform that helps me to promote my publication ----- ### "Engaging and Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Crystal** | *18 December 2020* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > Overall, I have been quite happy with Issuu. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/206314/issuu?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/206314/issuu) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
