Reviews of Issuu

Issuu sets the standard
Comments: I teach to a great variety of audiences. It's nice to know they can find my course materials easily. And once they find me, they can find all my materials in a convenient and easy-to-use form.
Pros:
The creation of the PDF format was a leap forward. Without ways to share and view PDF files, the move toward a "paperless society" was problematic at best. Issuu helped users solve that problem. With Issuu, we can upload files and share links with many users via email or social media. The interface is clean and easy to use with enough customizability to make it look clean almost anywhere.
Cons:
The one feature I miss in the free version is the ability to embed my PDF files on my websites. This is a rather basic function. I know the company has to make money and this is a feature that is worth paying for. It just hurts that it was free.
Alternatives Considered:
Highly Recommended
Comments: Have used issuu for years for our publication and very satisfied.
Pros:
The ease of use and customization was second to none. We have used this service for all of our digital issues over the years and will continue to.
Cons:
We have not experienced any negative issues with the platform and highly recommend this for all your publication needs.
Tagging explicit on 3 brochures in intended to hosted with them and send form site.
Pros:
My new brochures were on FB and Instagram, and I started receiving calls from my friends and, eventually, a mum concerned about the WARNING LABEL about the content; I mean Friday night, email support they would be contacted on Monday. Meanwhile, I had to spend an entire evening. removing contact from my site and email. [sensitive content hidden]The brochure is an overview of GAP YEAR travel, I'm all ears if any can show me what on watch is explicit about that. I will now spend Sunday finding a provider, this would have been catastrophic if it happened while I was removed, so NO I do not recommend this brand. Im all for keeping the internet clean, but I will NOT stand for is this. NONE opened that brochure, it was scanned and I was. Im am shocked!
Cons:
i have said enough...very discontinued in their approach to verifying if I had breached tge contract.I was not selling; I had simply used them for hosing, my brochure, mu business, and they jut swooped in and made a call that let me very unsettled.....

Great interface, should be free to embed
Comments: As an early example of e-publication software, Issuu has helped our company share content consistently for nearly a decade.
Pros:
I like the design of the reader and the ease of creating custom embedded readers most
Cons:
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.
