Business & marketing Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy Publishing Software" February 24, 2020 4.0 We use this software for a range of different aspects of business from forms to handouts to creating advertisements to use on-line to posters & flyers. Its easy, adaptable and quick. Pros The ease of use and templates that you can adjust. Cons That it does not have a "Format Painter" option to copy the same text, font colour that you have to something else in one click. Reason for choosing Marq Recommendation from other uses in our group. Review Source TF Thomas F. Senior citizen Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Friends of the Botanical Garden of Gothenburg, Sweden" February 23, 2020 5.0 If you know a bit of publishing it is a perfect tool to create any kind of document you would like to publish. It is also easy and fun to see how well the document will grow and finally look like. Pros It is a modern and userfriendly webbased publishing tool that I have come to like a lot. I have used it over more than 2 years for publishing our newsletter to our 7,000 members, 4 times a year. Cons As it is web based tool you need a good internet connection and sometimes you have to be a bit patient with the reply. Reason for choosing Marq More straight forward product that is easier to understand if you are not a professional from the begining. Review Source MM Michael M. Owner/photographer Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful options!!!" February 22, 2020 5.0 Lucid press takes care of a lot of set up issues and that I truly appreciate. There’s no arguments with the press offers the best Pros Wonderful options!!! The software as how it is set up makes life so easy for me to work with clients. The ease in which I can create is fantastic. It was so easy to train one of my employees in usingThe software. I recommend it to all my clients and friends because of the professional results and the ease of use that I get from the software Cons No cons it does what I want it to do and the end product looks great Review Source Giovanni M. Lead UX Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A tool" February 27, 2017 3.0 What can I say, Lucid Press is not the best app when it comes to design Ebooks or similar projects. It can solve your problems and get you out of the mud for a while but it will never be InDesign or Illustrator. Pros \- You can share your projects with your clients because it is cloud base. Cons \- Clunky interface, not so many editing options. - Sometimes can be slow to use. Review Source Renea H. President Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worked Great For Us!" June 1, 2018 4.0 Being able to go to press quickly with our design! Pros We were able to create a beautiful press for a charitable campaign quickly. Graphics were good and my partners on the deal were extremely happy with the look! Cons I would like to see a better tutorial section in the form of short 2-5 minute videos. The learning curve for a novice would be a bit overwhelming. Review Source MG Maggie G. CEO/Producer,Writer,Director Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive, easy to use, nice results." March 2, 2019 4.0 Before finding and using lucidpress, I was never completely satisfied with the professional look of my television series Bibles. Lucidpress solved those concerns. Pros I found lucidpress to be easy to use, the functionality was very intuitive, I was also very satisfied with the fact that I can upload my own pictures with ease. This was my first experience with lucidpress I used it for a television series Bible and so far the reactions and feedback has been very positive. Cons So far I have not run into any cons. Lucid is easy to use. Review Source CR Cassie R. Graphics Designer/Newsletter Editor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love the user-friendliness of the program, my documents look great without tons of hours poured in" June 17, 2017 5.0 Pros It's easy to add and manipulate graphics and text. The upload font upgrade is well worth it to have more options. Customer support is good too and they are always upgrading the services and experience Cons I don't like the storage system. If you upload a photo and use it four times, the storage counts it against your account each individual time. That can chew up a lot of space Review Source Colin T. Broadcast Journalist and Communications specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A is for A4" November 8, 2018 4.0 I have found it useful in preparing a brochure and some other material for a restaurant business that is run by some friends. It's relatively intuitive but could do with more templates in A4 Pros I like the templates and the relatively easy way to adapt them to suit your needs Cons There are not enough templates in A4 which is the most commonly used paper in an office and small business environment in Australia. When you change a "Letter"-sized template to A4 the design elements move out of place. Review Source Patrick V. pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product for not for profit organizations" April 20, 2019 5.0 Publishing for small churches is usually a big challenge with the people that need to often do it that don't have the necessary skills set to pull it off. Lucidpress really comes alongside people like me and make publishing flyers, brochures, booklets etc. much easier. Pros I have been looking for new ways to use a designing software that could help me publish without the hassle of being too creative. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but Lucidpress really made my life so much easier. Often I need brochures, flyers and other things and this software really helped me getting that going. I'd recommend it particularly to not for profit organizations that need to publish some materials but don't necessarily have the means to do it. This program is a great alternative. Cons I did not find any problem with it. It's been a great help for me thus far. Review Source MR Mariah R. Creative Director Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AMAZING for emerging creative professionals! " March 29, 2020 5.0 This product was SO user-friendly versus other design software, which is what I needed when I first began my career in graphic design and marketing. As an independent freelancer, it gave me the tools to remain innovative for every marketing client. To create the best content, and go above and beyond with Lucidpress! Pros SIMPLE to use! I can access all documents and designs from any computer, premium tools and design templates, so much storage space! Super inexpensive to extend storage space. Cons Compatibility: Limited formats to save documents + open various design file types. Review Source SC Sarah C. Art Teacher Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love this! I am an art teacher and I use it to design all of my handouts. So easy to use!" June 22, 2017 5.0 Make handouts every day! Pros Easy, great fonts, and design options. It is so nice that the photos are stored right on the site. I also love that it is through a webpage and I can access it anywhere. Cons I purchased for space but it fills up very quickly! I also don't like that if you delete a photo from the photo storage it deletes it from your document! Review Source Merald H. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent option for external communications" April 12, 2020 5.0 Pros We enjoyed the flexibility of this software and the ability to share and edit documents with people across our community and across the state. The dynamic presentations we can create with Lucidpress are very valuable to our organization. Cons The image library tool is fine, we did find it would be easier to insert pictures in documents without that barrier. Alternatives considered [Adobe Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/203963/Adobe-Connect/) Reason for choosing Marq Flexibility and Cost Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Communications Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great web-based document creator" January 23, 2016 4.0 We use Lucidpress for a monthly print newsletter for a church. The web-based interface is relatively user friendly...a few options are hidden away and hard to find, and pasting from other programs can be problematic unless you paste as plain text. The biggest plus for us is that multiple people can access and contribute to our publications without needing specialized software. Nice selection of templates, too. Pros Great for collaboration - being web-based anyone can use it Simple and fairly user friendly interface Nice, professional templates that can be easily customized Cons Cloud publishing can be a little glitchy - we find it easiest to publish as PDF and put the PDF online as needed If care about attention to detail, users need to always, always paste as plain text. More of a user issue than an app issue, though! If the "paste as plain text" setting were more visible it might help. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Supervisor de turno Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " Easily create visual and attractive material" November 26, 2018 4.0 It is a good tool to show in a more attractive way short reports with support of images and dynamic typography. When staff training workshops (training) are held, the material to be used to support the workshop is easily done with this program. Pros Like Lucidchart, it has multiple preloaded options and multiple templates for the preparation of brochures, dynamic reports and creative templates. It is easy and simple to use, the design is selected, the templates are taken from the menu or some photo or support material is uploaded and the document is saved, this can be exported in pdf or shared through the web. Cons You must have a good bandwidth to use the program since it only works with the internet, in the case that a job is being done and the connection is lost, it is likely that some edition will be lost. Review Source LS Lee S. Information Technology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Low Cost publishing for my printing needs" June 17, 2017 4.0 Pros Lucidpress works on Chromebooks as it's web-based. This functionality has saved my company lots of money on Full based OS laptops . Cons Unable to push out Indesign Files. My company does a lot of designing that ends up in print. Higher-end print companies request InDesign files which I'm unable export out of LucidPress. I sometimes run into clients who request InDesign files which is an industry standard that I'm unable to deliver to them Review Source Kasey B. Adjunct Professor of Political Science Higher Education Used the software for: ### "Saved me so much time! " May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros I've literally spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to make business cards on Microsoft word, this software really helped cut the time in half. Having excellent templates really was super useful and there were a lot of fun creative designs. I found it to be much more simple than using the Adobe software that I found to be a bit intimidating. Cons I really didn't need to use this software very much, but I did not experience any issues while using the free trial and I would recommend it to anyone trying to build cards like this. Review Source Jaana S. Co-Founder, Owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lucidpress Takes Our Marketing on a New Level" June 21, 2018 5.0 Great tool, love it! I don't even want to think about how much we struggled before Lucidpress. Now creating marketing material is so fast and easy! Pros The templates that come provided with Lucidpress are amazing. Using these templates has helped us, a small company with limited time and resources, to build fantastic looking marketing material fast. You can choose from a wide variety of templates for different occasions, from brochures to flyers and anything between. With Lucidpress, it is easy to look professional, so much of the groundwork has already been done for you! Cons The tool, while at use, does slow down my computer, an older Surface Pro 3, a little. With more powerful computer, performance probably isn't an issue Review Source KC Katie C. Creative Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fine to Use in a Pinch, But Not a Great Substitute" March 20, 2018 3.0 Pros If you need a quick document or poster designed and you haven't dived into the Adobe world yet, Lucidpress will work in a pinch. The navigation is fairly simple and easy to use, and they've got a great selection of pre-designed icons, symbols, and pictures you can use. It's been a lifesaver for quick projects when I didn't have access to InDesign. Cons The free version is extremely restrictive in the amount of data you can upload + pages you can create. Good news: the first paid tier isn't prohibitively expensive (so expect to pay). Functionality isn't at all as robust as InDesign, and I've often found myself scrambling and searching to find a basic function like page rulers/guidelines. But if you're expecting basic functionality, this will get the job done. Review Source SG Shereen G. Administrator Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lucidpress is the best Publishing Platform I've ever used" January 13, 2019 5.0 I have done flyers, brochures, door hangers, business cards, and was starting a magazine for a ministry until they flaked out here recently. If I had more clients to work with, I'd be full-on with LucidPress as I enjoy using it for nearly everything. Pros I go a long way back, but this is, by far, the most user-friendly ever. I used to use Microsoft Publisher and all of that from back in the day, but this is one of the most USER-FRIENDLY ever. Cons Wish I had more clients so I can keep my subscription at all times. Review Source RD Rodney D. PR Director Fund-Raising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy powerful platform" February 22, 2020 5.0 We use for posters, newsletters and magazines. Pros This software is by far the easiest and most powerful software we have used for newsletters and PR Sheets. We have tried numerous programs. Most with a higher price point and this has been the the best option for our PR Team. Cons Right now this has no flaws for.our use and we have had great luck with lucidpress Reason for choosing Marq Ease of use Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Media and Communciations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use the software for creating brochures, flyers and ad copy." March 5, 2018 5.0 creat professional ads and print copy that can design myself. Pros Ease of use and professional output. Availability of templates that fit the need. Ability to import picture is easy and inserting, editing is easy. Cons Sometimes the site runs a little bit slow. This may be due to the large file size of the ad copy. Takes a while to dowload Review Source Rivka H. Writer and Editor Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" April 11, 2020 5.0 Pros This has been a great tool for creating the layout for my children's books and coloring books before publishing them. It is simple and easy to use even for someone without a background in more advanced design tools like myself. I am so glad I found this tool! Cons Like anything else, even though it is easy there is a bit of a learning curve. Review Source Dylan E. Software Programmer and Security Officer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lucidpress is a great online tool for creating designs, business cards, templates and much more" July 31, 2018 4.0 The application allows us to easily create great designs, that can then easily be shared among our team. Pros The online nature of the application means nothing has to be installed for it to work and you have access to all your projects from wherever. It is really easy to make a snappy, vibrant design for a presentation template or logo and you don't even need a lot of insight in graphic design. There are also a number of design templates that are easy to modify with hardly any effort. Cons The storage space of your documents is very small, even if you upgrade the storage pool. Related to this, large files can take forever to open, which is not related to internet speed. Review Source JH Jacob H. Marketing Specialist Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sufficiently easy template system!" June 30, 2025 4.0 I feel like Marq is a little outdated compared to something like Canva and I would love to be able to exactly use our brand fonts but Marq has many that are pretty close. Pros Templates are easy to load in and able to be updated quickly. They are relatively easy to find when searching and the ability to duplicate templates is seamless. Cons I wish the filtering of the templates would default to new to old, as many of our old templates are now outdated and I would love for the new ones to be towards the top of the list. Review Source SB Stephania B. Educational Consultant Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love the ease and quality of Lucid Press!" December 9, 2020 5.0 Lucid Press is well-structured and has great newsletter templates. It was a really big help in designing my school's newsletters. I was able to guide my students easily with the Lucid Press templates. Pros I like the formatted templates and the ease of use, of Lucid Press. It was easy for me to use the formatted templates with my students and my organizations. Cons I loved Lucid Press as it is. It works well for me.
