### "Autopublishing bussiness cards, booklets and labels, plus image edition"

May 26, 2021

5.0

One feature we use is the capacity to print labels merging a list of our contacts. That feature alone justifies the little price we pay.

Pros

I like the variety of documents I can edit easily. We use it to make regular documents to our courses and lately to edit some images for the web and everything is easy to acomplish. The program includes more than 500 templates.

Cons

I see it kind of outdated because there is no included photo library, and many other apps like Canva has it. But for basic Mac users I think is OK.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Swift Publisher

I use both.

### "Intuitive Software for Beginner & Pros"

October 31, 2024

4.0

This is my go to tool to produce flyers, cards, media banners, presentation ads, and stand alone promo pieces.

Pros

This tool has easy drag and drop functionality in a layered format to organize your info.

Cons

There are some restrictions or challenges with the layered format, especially when dealing with margins.

### "Does not work with Adobe Typekit Fonts"

March 24, 2021

3.0

Low cost software doesn't necessarily equal good value. Would prefer to have paid more for software that is properly compatible with Adobe, considering this is design software.

Pros

This software overall works fine for most uses and it is a low cost option.

Cons

It doesn't work with Adobe Typekit. The fonts we purchased through Adobe do actually load in the software even though Swift support says they won't, but on a regular basis the fonts will just get replaced with other fonts, and you have to go and manually change all your fonts back to the font you paid for. Support says the Adobe Typekit fonts don't work with this software and basically just aren't helpful. In the past we have used Microsoft Publisher and a similar thing would happen occasionally but instead of replacing all the fonts, Publisher would warn you that the font couldn't be found and give you a chance to correct the issue. As long as we were connected to the internet and signed in to the Adobe account, we could always find the font and the software would work without replacing all the fonts in our documents. I suggested adding this feature to make Swift compatible with Adobe, but was ignored.

### "Awesome, each to use"

February 28, 2020

5.0

I’m not a frequent graphic app user so it took me a little time to catch the swing of things in SP. But, OMG! After a couple uses, I am exceeding my dreams with it.

Pros

Easy to use and has lots of features. Hard to beat unless you’re a graphic guru. In that case you’ll probably prefer this cause it’s so quick and easy. Lo.

Cons

Ruler tick marks small and a bit hard to read

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Swift Publisher

I bought the others too but prefer SP in most cases.

### "unendliche Vielseitigkeit !!!"

August 20, 2021

4.0

Visitenkarten , Terminkarten für Patienten zum Mitgeben wo man die ganze Angebotspalette optisch gut gegliedert unterbringt

Pros

Rundschreiben mit eigenem Logoentwurf , Rückenschilder mit eigenem Logo Jahreszahlen... auf Ordnerrücken zum Einschieben, Einladungsbroschüren für Herzkongress mit 2tägigen Programm, und Werbung der teilnehmenden Pharmafirmen oder Medizinproduktehersteller...., Programmheft, eigener Entwurf von Visitenkarten Postkartengröße für kardiologische Praxis mir eigenem einzigartigen Logo - Alles mit SwiftPublisher - Sogar die Druckerei ist angetan von dem nicht 08/15 Look

Cons

Es braucht schon einen Lernprozess bis man die unendlichen Möglichkeiten von Layouts erkennt und umsetzen lernt. Nur das ist bei dem Umfang, den diese SuperSoftware bietet, nicht ungewöhnlich. Aber mir macht es immer wieder Freude diesen Prozess zu gehen.

Reason for choosing Swift Publisher

weil ich sofort verstanden habe, dass ich hier die meisten Layoutfreiheiten, Möglichkeiten verschiedenes unkompliziert auszuprobieren bis das gewünschte Produkt final vom Kunden abgenommen wird.

### "Keine Inhaltsverzeichnisse möglich!"

March 10, 2024

1.0

Nur für den privaten Gebrauch möglich, aber nicht um offizielle Dokumente mit Bildern und Textfeldern zu erstellen.

Pros

Man kann Text und Bildfelder beliebig anordnen. Das ist für den privaten Bereich für Karten etc. ausreichend.

Cons

Die Funktion Inhaltsverzeichnis erstellen ist nicht vorhanden, d.h. man kann keine Dokumente erstellen, die ein solches benötigen. Auch Booklets benötigen Inhaltsverzeichnisse.

Ich brauchte eine Software, die mir das freie Positionieren von Bildern und Textfeldern ermöglichte.

### "I really like Swift Editor, because it's very simple and easy to use, it meets all my needs."

August 24, 2023

I'm getting to know the company and liking what I'm using, I hope the company always improves its usability.

Pros

I really liked the practicality and ease of use and the various tools that the editor makes available.

Cons

I don't think I have anything to complain about, but we can always improve every day the company is 10/10.

### "Great for Small Businesses"

September 11, 2019

5.0

We make programs and program ads every year. After using Publisher for a long time and struggling with formatting and transferring things since I use a Mac, and had to use another computer to use Publisher, I was relieved to find a usable software that I could use on the Mac, was not pricey, and did exactly what I needed it to do. We have used this software for two years now and it's been a much faster and more customizable experience.

Pros

This software was such a relief to find after using Microsoft Publisher for so long that it became outdated. Very user-friendly, inexpensive, and is super easy to customize and understand.

Cons

It does look a little bit basic, but that's probably part of why it's inexpensive. I did also have some trouble with a few fonts.

### "Professional Program Booklet for High School Basketball Season "

January 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

I learned everything I needed to know to create a great program booklet for my sports organization in a week. Everything was ready to send to a professional printer when I was done and I never needed to pay a designer. Even the printer was impressed by my self made product. Before I found Swift Publisher, I bought online templates that were useless. The program was fantastic and saved my project!

Cons

Limited design tools and fonts. Some of my favorite fons were not available.

Reason for choosing Swift Publisher

Because Swift provided tutorials about how to use the product.

### "Swift Publisher Review"

April 9, 2019

4.0

I like that its easy to use and Its really money for value. Its user friendly and not much training needed to use it, especially if you've done this sort of thing before.

Pros

The quality is great and the templates look really good. I can make a beautiful brochure in no time, quick and quite easy

Cons

This product works on Mac and Apple products only which is limiting.
