Issuu: magazines, news & books Reviews

by Kdbull

Now every time I tap the ‘view more like this’ option Issuu crashes! New update is messing with app! And by the way, what happened to the recommendation section? Now it’s filled with magazines I don’t even have a clue why you are recommending them for me and they now never seem to change!! It’s like no ones at the wheel anymore!
I feel like I’ve just seen too many of these “too good to be true” free apps start slowly falling apart and then it’s time to start charging fees...
Please fix!!!!!

I download Issuu and try to sing up! There was the option to create the new account or use Fb or Google account! And guess what??? I spend 40 minutes and didn’t success to make the new account! Because Issuu design to be sure you use your google or fb account to enter!

I change several names, but no one was good for Issuu! They don’t let me to create an independent account!!! That is so bad!!

So, if you just want to stole the data base from the people’s Fb and Google account - remove the option to create the new one! Be honest!!!

I’m discouraged by this app’s unwillingness to provide non-profits with an affordable option to publish all of their life-changing stories so worthy of being told. Most technology software companies are happy to do so, because it’s technology and doesn’t affect the company’s bottom line. Supporting non-profits in that way is their way of giving back to the community while also helping the non-profit connect to the people most passionate about their work. At $35 per month with the annual subscription discount, there are too many children to feed, debilitating diseases to cure, homeless veterans to shelter, etc. for a non-profit to conscientiously put $35 of their donor’s dollars each month into the hands of this app. this app, a company that thinks that annual subscription discount and charging for features of convenience (rather than performance) should suffice for non-profit needs. They feel so strongly about not supporting non-profits, they had to make a FAQ saying No we don’t provide a discount. I’d look into Salesforce’s charitable giving model. I don’t think it’s a coincidence why they, Facebook or Google have had such great success. Charitable causes connects people, creates respect, affinity and trust. Thanks anyway this app. Good luck to you!

I gave 2 starts because of no bookmark on Issuu. I’m very tired because it’s always goes back all the way back to the first page when Issuu refresh every time. Look at Nook, Kindle, iBook, other apps have bookmark but why can’t this app have it? I already emailed them about it but I never received their reply since. Huh? You got 2 stars ⭐️⭐️.

If you add bookmark feature on your app then I ll update the stars.

I am trying to switch of the safe option. But couldn't find any option. I have already switched that off from PC. But still no luck. I just want to switch off the safe search

Hello, I have been using this app for quite a while now and it is wonderful app for reading industry related mags and books, would have given 5 stars but for the fact that I have to sign into Issuu every now and then is rather frustrating. Why can’t you make it possible to stay permanently signed in. I use it on my iPad, which I have to sign into. You can also make it possible to use the fingerprint reader.

I love Issuu thus far, after only using for a few days, because I can access a small newspaper in my Grandmother’s community. However, I do wish that when you’re reading a publication and have to stop that it would save your place instead of going all the way back to the first page.

I really enjoy using Issuu but would like to suggest some changes. The ability to make clips is great but all the clips just end up being put into the same folder. It would be better if we could categorize our clips.

Also, a statistics page that is designed similar to one on the desktop would be much more pleasing to look at. I really like the map with the signature red accents and wish it were incorporated into Issuu as well.

Lastly, I feel like the search engine is not as thorough as the desktop version.

Other than that, Issuu is great to use. Download it if you haven’t yet!

Hey thought I would write this review. I really enjoy using your app. I am always finding new information. One thing I would like to request is that you put the stack titles in alphabetical order. Every time that is use this app I'm saving at least a dozen or two new titles and now have amassed over 100 stacks and finding the stack I need is a bit of a struggle with the way you order the stacks now.

But, one thing, it should be easier to follow publishers so that you dont loose the issue, actually wait! Thats a non issue it works perfectly because its just like your bookshelf of magazines!

This little app always manages to bring me fresh plate of content. Whatever my interests are, there is always something to learn and enjoy. Issuu is so simple and intuitive that you don’t have spend time looking for stuff. You open Issuu and it’s right there waiting for you.

Score- Content:10, App design:10, Personalization:10, Overall:10 👏🏼

Just got it so take this with a grain of salt.
The magazine I've read has beautiful images easy to read fonts and the interface is simple. I can download issues for later when without a connection. I like it.

So far I have been saving books that other people share, which varies from books, magazines, stories, and literally anything that’s meant to be read or plain workbooks. You will not always find what you’re searching for, but there’s still some other options for a reader or if anyone is trying to pick a language.
It’s been free and it’s a contribution from other users like yourself. So thanks for sharing!

I had downloaded ur app when it was first offered in iTunes and have done so again just recently. I have seen Issuu grow and assuredly will continue on checking Issuu. Thank you.

I started publishing my eMagazine, GentlemansPurpose, on the this app platform. Initially the service was presented to me through a magazine ad rep that I was working with as a business development manager in charge of marketing.

When I launched my own consulting agency at the beginning of 2020 I still wasn’t sure how this platform was going to fit into the picture.

In the summer of 2020 I launched Gentleman’s Purpose as a way to help men identify their purpose and fulfill it. Through offering helpful, entertaining content the emagazine also offers me the opportunity to engage with small businesses and help them with their business planning and marketing.

Gentleman’s Purpose has become a true labor of love for me.

Thank you this app!

I personally love Issuu so much! It offers a wide variety of literature for everyone and publishings are available from nearly every country. I love how you can download magazines also! Just wish I could bookmark my page but other than that, this is one of my favorite apps!!!! GO DOWNLOAD IT!!

by Roddyjen

Have had Issuu for quite some time now, and I’ve loved how easy this app can be to access a fantastic variety of content. BUT I‘ve barely been able to use Issuu for the past several months because it CRASHES IMMEDIATELY upon launch 99% of the time I try to open it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS???

Some texts are teasers, and that’s O.K., like a movie trailer. Other documents are comprehensive; hundreds of pages. If I can offer a suggestion; maybe I just having discovered it yet. I’d like to sort, categorize, or prioritize downloads. I’ll go searching and find a lot of material. Not stopping at the first find, I would then like to organize it for future reference. Maybe use a personal rating to sort?

I had been using this for quite a while then stopped. Today I was looking for something specific and thought about searching in issu. To my happy surprise, it was right there! All for the basic free browsing membership. Even though there are some sponsorships/ads, I don’t find them intrusive whatsoever. Thank you issu!

I am visually impaired and I love Issuu because I’m able to download several publications and able to read them on my iPad or have it spoke to me, so I can keep up with current events in my community and the world.
