Best Desktop Publishing Software Hands-Down

I've been using this software for a few years now and it's brilliant. I've made numerous business brochures and flyers and received a lot of positive feedback about them. I couldn't have done it without this amazing software. The developer responds to every email and makes you feel like a valued customer.

Developer Response ,

I want my $ back!

I hate this app. It’s horrible and rarely works

Problems:
- app freezes
- when you insert one photo it deletes the previous photo and it wasn’t doing that the last time I used the app. How is this possible???
- can’t get pictures of the same size to align properly beside each other - one is always higher or lower than the other

Developer Response ,

Hello and sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties. Each image is held by a containing shape. If you insert an image into a shape that already contains an image, the existing image will be replaced, which hasn’t changed since iStudio was first released. If you insert an image into a shape by mistake you can always undo the action, e.g. by using ⌘Z. To insert an image into a new shape, either a) make the new shape first and select it, or b) ensure no shapes are selected when you perform the image insertion, and a default rectangular shape will be created for you automatically. To align two shapes that contain images, first select both shapes, then use the options on the Arrange menu to align the shapes vertically and horizontally. You can also align the images themselves within their containing shapes by using the Image Inspector. Regarding your problem of iStudio freezing, we receive very few reports of this happening. Please could you contact our support team with a few details and we’ll be very pleased to investigate this for you.

Great for book self-publishing

I use this app for self-published books which have lots of photos. It works perfectly for me. Haven’t ever lost anything or had it freeze up.

The e-pub feature is a very slick way to put a book on to a tablet.

The only thing to add to make it perfect would be to enable text search.

Developer Response ,

Thanks shawmail, your comments are very much appreciated, and it's great to know that the app is working well for you. Text search is requested quite frequently, and we're planning to add it into a future release. If you need any help, just contact us at support@istudiopublisher.com
