iStudio Publisher exceptional! Better than Adobe. . .

I’ve been a desktop publishing user for 25 years. From Adobe Pagemaker to InDesign. InDesign is comprehensive and difficult to use, not user friendly. Also it costs a bundle! iStudio Publisher is an awesome product, it does everything and more that anyone could want in desktop publishing. It is quick and intuitive. Have you used the technical support? It is AMAZING. I email and within 24 hours, usually sooner, I get these comprehensive responses (from Andy). Every. Single. Time. And I’ve been using it for over 2 years. They even remember who I am!? I know, right?
I recently asked a question and in the response Andy said they were, in fact, incorporating that aspect into the newer version. . . . and he included current ways to do what I wanted to do. Support is for the lifetime of the product, I guess!
I highly recommend this, as a long time Adobe desktop product user, buy this instead, you will be happy and your bank account will be too!

Great for show programs and more!

iStudio is so easy to use! It’s my go-to for designing the playbills for my students’ theatrical productions. I also use it when friends ask me to design yearbook ads or memorial photo posters for funerals. (I was the yearbook advisor for years, so now I am the desktop publishing guru among my friends…). I love the unique features of iStudio—things you don’t get in Adobe Photoshop Elements. For example, PS Elements doesn’t have the feature where you can draw a curve and then have a block of text follow it precisely. That feature alone is worth its weight in gold. I also prefer the way iStudio allows you to edit photos within a “frame” when you are laying out photo collages. This same process in Elements is much less intuitive. iStudio also has excellent support. For the price, it is definitely a FIVE STAR product!

FABULOUS Product

I've been using this product for about 20 years... I LOVE it. I use it every day. I have used it to design books and documents for my staff who then take their fancy-schmancy technology to design websites and books exactly how I want them. They tell me they are grateful to have it all laid out cleanly for them so that they can connect the dots to a complex project. I also screenshot things online slide them directly onto an iStudio page and keep for references, maps, products, online webinars... everything. It's my go-to product. I organize my office by making separate covers to binders with this. It's is easy to learn and use... I literally wrote a whole training on this program that is now an online course pdf'd directly from iStudio. It looks great just as it is. I love this program and highly recommend it.
