"Magazine Publishing made Easy!"
What do you like best about Issuu?

I've been using ISSUU to create and host my photo-art magazine now for 5 years and more recently I've launched a new NFT magazine. The site is simple and very user friendly with amazing speedy support and is everything that I could ask for and more. If you are looking for a home for your publication I highly recommend ISSUU

What do you dislike about Issuu?

I honestly can't say there is anything I dislike about ISSUU

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, ISSUU provides a method of easily creating an auto flipping magazine with links and generating views and reads of the content. It also automatically creates additional article stories which generate additional traffic to the magazine. All this with a few simple clicks and an upload!

"#1 online publishing platform"
What do you like best about Issuu?

I've been using this platform since 2016. Since then, I've recommended it to numerous of our clients and we had only positive experience. I love how you can almost instantly elevate the visual presentation of PDF file and see the detailed statistic for each publication. My graphic design and photography studio use its features for self-promotion and portfolio presentation. Some of my favourite features are:

- unlisted mode for publications

- inserting and editing video and links

What do you dislike about Issuu?

We never use the articles feature, but I believe it can be useful for people that want a quick solution for their social media.

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy and quick way to present/update/edit a digital publication in a visually pleasing manner be it either a flipbook or an embedded on the website publication

"User-friendly, intuitive platform"
What do you like best about Issuu?

Issuu is a very easy-to-use platform with plenty of features to help spread the word about our publication. The social media features are incredibly useful. The customer support team have also been responsive and helpful if any issues are encountered.

What do you dislike about Issuu?

We are trying to figure out the best way to use the great design features on social media without relying too heavily on the stories function. The flipbook looks great, but in our experience, is not user-friendly on mobile.

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

The cost of printing! Issuu makes our publication accessible to all for minimal cost, and removes the geographic boundaries of a printed product.

"Marketing Specialist for Sustainability Focused Architecture Firm"
What do you like best about Issuu?

The best part of Issuu is the high-quality display of our materials that allow us to seamlessly showcase our work to current and potential clients and partners. The ease of the user experience helps us to market and advertise with low stress and the certainty that how we want our portfolio displayed will be maintained.

What do you dislike about Issuu?

We have not found an issue with Issuu! The things like slow load speed, or uploading crashes when working with such large resolution documents have not been problems at all.

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Issuu solves our problem of how to get our materials into our current and potential clients' and partners' hands in high resolution and with a true-to-print experience. Issuu also helps us with marketing tools, analytics, and social media support with our original materials.

"Great way to present visual content on our website"
What do you like best about Issuu?

All I have to do is upload my .pdf documents to Issuu, and get the embed code it generates, to have a beautiful presentation of that document that looks like it's incorporated into the web page.

What do you dislike about Issuu?

The user interface took a little while to get used to, but now it's like 2nd nature.

Recommendations to others considering Issuu:

The paid plan is relatively inexpensive for the value we receive from it. We also give out Issuu document links to various departments to give to citizens to view their particular documents.

What problems is Issuu solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Issuu solved for us was a way to do a full-screen document presentation as part of our web pages. The benefits are that it looks beautiful and professional in the way it displays on the pages.
