Publisher/Editor in Chief Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Issuu is an amazing Software tool for magazine publishers" December 17, 2020 5.0 Despite the things that disappointed me, I have enjoyed my overall experience with using the software over the years. Pros 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. Cons 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.

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.

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. Review Source VD Valéria D.
