Software Reviews and Criticism

  Great Combo of Features + Ease of Use

  Very glad I bought Swift Publisher; it is well worth the price. This app makes it incredibly easy to create marketing materials like brochures, newsletters, etc. I pulled together a tri-fold brochure in no time, completely from scratch. The hard part is writing the content (a blank page is a scary thing), but the examples provided in Swift Publisher’s template gallery make even that task less daunting. I picked out a template, then used the pre-defined text areas to fill in the content. The text areas are small, requiring only a few sentences (but there are options for longer items, too). Coming up with a few brief, to-the-point phrases is a lot easier for me than writing long paragraphs. The image tools are decent, though not enough to completely rework one of your photos. If you need serious cropping/cleaning or other mods to your images you may still want to pre-tweak them using something else. This is great software that can probably do just about anything you need for printed marketing products. Definitely recommend; a real bargain.

  Much Easier that MS Publisher

  I’ve never had much experience with desktop publishers, but I understand that they’re supposed to be easier and better than a word processor when page formatting is a top priority. Our church office PC has MS Publisher, and I’ve been able to fumble my way through it (you really need to take a class for it, it’s got so many functions). Well, I had to get a funeral bulletin ready in a short amount of time, so I tried Swift Publisher. So intuitive (it behaves just like an Microsoft-produced app) and straightforward! And the automatic booklet print function really takes the stress our of making sure you have your pages in the right order. This has really helped me be more productive with church publications. It would be nice if Swift documents could be imported into MS Publisher and vice-versa, but I understand such compatibility isn’t always possible. But thanks for such a powerful and easy-to-use desktop publisher that even novices can master in no time. Well done!

  Too much troubles with using

  The app is nice, the idea is great! But! A huge number of the problems in app work!!!! More than half a year I have expected from developers of correction of the current bugs, but nothing chanched... Everything stays the same. The application is very very slow, and I have a top Windows. After the application is deployed to the full screen, when resized, most of the features of the application disappear. Very often crashes without saving. Hangs, freezing... and much more… For today, this app is not worth $20. Dear developers, take action and fix the application. At least it should not freezing, and after adding 5 layers on the picture, it is impossible to work!!! Приложение приятное, задумка отличная! Но! Проблем в работе немерено!!!! Более полугода ждал от разработчиков исправления текущих багов, но нет.. Все остается прежним. Приложение очень очень сильно тормозит, а у меня топовый Windows. После развертывания приложения на полный экран, при изменении размера, пропадает большинство функций приложения. Очень часто вылетает, без сохранения. Зависает… И многое многое другое… На сегодняшний день эта программа не стоит $20. Уважаемые разработчики, примите меры и исправьте приложение. Как минимум оно не должно тормозить, а после добавления 5 слоя на картинку, работать невозможно!!!

  A Gem Amoung Desktop Publishing Apps!!!

  I’ve been using Swift Publisher for a few years now, and have never been disappointed. This is by far the most used app I have across all areas of my life; making marketing materials for work such as newsletters, brochures, or post cards. For personal use, it’s super easy to create backgrounds or headers for any/all social media apps, birthday cards, labels, making & addressing holiday cards, “first day of school” chalkboard signs, and more! Why this app is better than others? It’s super easy to learn and use! I’ve purchased several desktop publishers that seem to be similar upon viewing on the app store, but they end up being difficult to learn or navigate, not at all intuitive, and I’ve never found even one app that can do all that Swift can do. Best of all, the dedicated developers respond quickly!

  Decent

  Switched from microsoft publisher to this years ago for reasonably professional handouts for my students. It is great, and so much easier to learn than adobe, especially for someone like me who doesnt need all those features. Enough photo features to edit some, but i use a different program for cropping, editing backgrounds, etc. Color selection on 2D/3D word art fonts could be better. I would give five stars if it had spell check - the most irritating thing about using this program. Scared to update. Last time I updated nothing would open on the new version, or would open with bunk formatting. Will this happen again?
