Publisher Lite App Reviews

I like this app for my purpose of creating various home-based pubs. No glitches so far. Thanks

It was the worst app I have ever used. I couldnt even copy paste a picture when I wanted to make a brochure.

It works well and has a good aray of tools. It allows me to do everything I need for creating marketing at my job.

I never give reviews but this app and it’s developers deserve it. I searched for hours to find a flyer maker / illustration software, after the one that came standard on my Mac would not function. It wasn’t until I found this app that I was able to make a nice flyer for a benefit to help a child born with a rare and serious congenital disorder. This app helped me to create promotional material to potentially help raise money for this infant who is fighting to survive. Thank you to the developers for making this free as I could not afford to pay for a flyer maker.

I absolutely love this app.I have used it for everything from typing flyers to making a resume, and even party invitations! It's simple to use and it offers a plethora of options that would suffice even the most extensive user!

I’m totally computer illiterate & when i say, this is a very easy app to use trust it is! I am getting the upgrade because I’d love to see what more can i do with this. I am truly wow’d...

Good luck getting it to print with your available paper and envelopes and printer in the US. Otherwise it would be okay for small print jobs.

Contrary to what it says in the description and features, this app does not have a template for booklets.

Our HOA needed a low-cost solution for a newsletter, but one that would still be eye-catching, versatile, but easy to use. The reviews on Publisher Lite were so positive that I decided right away to give it a try. I haven’t needed to go elsewhere. We’re on our third issue of the newsletter and the plaudits are still coming in. This is a great app for occasional use. I’m so glad I chose it.

While the app is very user friendly and seems great, it cuts you off halfway through designing your first project!! The Lite version is a scam and you might as well purchse the app or use it to see if it’s user friendly or what you want. There’s no way to actually design anything to use on this app. It’s more of a demo. I wasted an hour working on a newsletter for elementary school and can’t even access or use it now that the app is asking to upgrade. BOO

This ap is wonderful!! Everybit as useful and user friendly as MS Publisher!! Yes, friends … Get it!! You’ll be glad!!

This app so far is perfect and fits my needs, btw to make a calender open a blank page and click calender since most reviews say they dont hae that feature.

I’ve been using this app for a very long time. I love it. It’s very simple to use and amazing for a creative person.

I was very impressed that a free program like this was so useful for making an event flyer. Couldn’t imagine a better free program for this purpose.

I downloaded because like someone else pointed out it states that you can make calenders. Dont know how that works since there is no template for calendars. Gave two stars because at least the app was free. I have pages so I dont see this as a very useful app for me.

This app is typically super useful, but it just crashed twice and has crashed atleast two other times before. FIX IT!

Hard to figure out how to get the text color to work

Does the job very nicely. Not overly complicated but does everything I need it to. Exactly what I was looking for and can’t beat the price. Very Impressed!

I can’t believe it’s free! I’d been looking for a program like this and am very excited to have this. Thank you!

It was pretty easy to use. Wish the paper sizes could be adjusted to US sizing.

I was disappointed that the availble pages sizes to chose from did not have US Letter. Such a basic and widely used size should be standard as part of any app. A4 is not used as much in North America. When trying to print on US Letter, I could not find a way to make things fit without undesired borders.

Can’t set page to US letter. No custom page sizes either.

I was the layout designer/editor for the features section and front page of the daily college paper making $10 an hour in 1994. I am also an amateur photographer. The Adobe Suite subscription service is a bit overkill for me for how much money it costs every month. Occasionally, I would like to do a flyer or a brochure or something and this is just good enough for my needs. I can layout photos with exposure controls and masks and filters. I can add backgrounds and layout text. I can rotate and flip objects. I haven’t even gotten into the document templates yet, but it looks like there are lots of brochures and menus and business cards and such. There is also expansion packs of additional templates that can be purchased for 99 cents.

Very good Ap. Never mind the version I have is free but it does have some nice features. Intuitive and decent editing tools. It did crash on me once before saving but I re-opened it and whatever I had before was recovered.. I am thankful. Give it a try, I will probably buy the full version… I like it.

I was looking for a simple, intuitive app to design single pages - this app is NOT intuitive - its even hard to figure out how to set up a 8.5 x 11 inch page - all their templated are not that!!

I got this because it said there was a calendar template. There is not!

I was making a poster out of a template. Everytime I try to add bullets to a text box it locks up and I have to force quit everytime. Even after a reboot. Using ElCapitain on a MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM with I5 processor. Other than that the ease of use is good and does a fine job for simple tasks like I do.

I crave simplicity in life. I love this app…it is easier for me to use than Microsoft publisher. Thanks!

Originally thought the program to be hard to use. After about 1 hour of using it I was able to make a beautiful brochure and very pleased with program. Thank you!

So good, you’re able to create pdf, jpg, and other files. Helpful for flyers, postcards, facebook picture edits. One limiting factor is that you must pic from selected sizes of canvas and it’s hard to resize once a project is created.

I spent hours creating a document just to relize that you can’t print on standard US letter paper. The closest option is A4, which causes everything to be off center and the bottom to be cut off. Huge waste of time!

Some research indicated that it would, but it definitely doesn’t.

If you’re in the USA - don’t buy this app! No american sizes- it’s all A4 and other weird european sizes!

this was super easy to add photos and edit text… I used the furniture template to make a mothers day card with a bunch of photos surrounding my text… 2 minute learning curve - it was great!

I love this app and plan to pay the full purchase price for it. I love how easy it is to use. I was able to make a beautiful invitation letter with matching envelope. I hope it has more templates to choose from in the full app. I reccommend this app to all those who need a quick and easy to use publishing suit.

I had to switch to a mac in my new school district and all my publisher files were unreadable. So I am recreating them with this app, plus some new things. I love how creative you can be with this app!!! For my purposes, as a school counselor, it is perfect. I will upgrade as soon as I get paid again!

took 5 minutes of trying to find the letter sized paper as apposed to a4. Gave up I will go find a publsher with American Sizes

I could not figure out why my text was not filling the full space of the text box so I contacted customer service and explained all of my trouble shooting. They came back with a response to try something that was in my original email to them. I figured it out myself and told them the fix. Apparently you need to select a style for it to fill the space, it defaults to "select style" and I didn’t notice, but I don’t think that should matter if it accepts the text in the first place. When multi-selecting boxes the alignment functions did not work. When trying to use the bullets the app would freeze. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke so I quit the app and started again. The second time it froze the app would not let me quit, or force quit, or log off my Mac, or even shut down my Mac. I kept getting an error that I could not log off/shut down because the app was still closing. I finally had to do a hard reboot.

European Paper Sizes Only The app is easy enough to use, but only supports European paper sizes (A4, A5, etc.). If you are hoping to use standard U.S. paper sizes (8.5 x 11 for example), you must figure out a work around.

I like this app. It's pretty cool for being FREE. Especially if you wanted some basic stuff instead of paying $100 for MS Office Publisher ;) Thanks for this app. My mom and I both thank you lol

Just what I needed! I will be upgrading as soon as I can because I liked the program so much!

It will not downlaod on my mac at all

Thank you for making something so user friendly!

I love the simplicty of this program!!! was able to download and create a project in minutes….. Awesome!!!
