Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing in particular. Every feature Joomag offers was similar or subpar compared to other competitors.
  • Joomag allows for the creation of interactive and engaging content, including video, audio, slideshows, and additional interactive elements that can be added on demand. This makes the content more impactful and memorable for the reader. Joomag provides valuable insights into the performance of your content through its built-in analytics tool, which enables data-driven decisions. The platform also offers collaboration options and on-demand customization options to meet specific business needs, and integrates with other tools, making it easier to manage the publishing process.
  • There are many good-looking magazine templates, and there is integration for pictures, videos, audio, and GIFS.

Cons

  • We have been Joomag customers for several years, but our recent experience with their service has been deeply disappointing and frustrating, prompting us to warn potential users about the issues we faced. 1. Unreasonably short notice for a 300% price increase: Joomag notified us of a massive price increase just three days before it took effect, showing a lack of consideration and transparency. 2. Broken cancel button: When we attempted to cancel our subscription due to the price hike, the cancel button on their website was non-functional, preventing us from ending our subscription. 3. Inefficient customer support: In our efforts to cancel, we contacted their customer support team. Instead of addressing our request, they repeatedly tried to lock us into a longer commitment, blatantly ignoring our cancellation attempts. 4. Forced to initiate a chargeback: After numerous failed attempts to cancel our subscription through Joomag, we were left with no choice but to contact our credit card company and initiate a chargeback, adding further inconvenience to the situation. In light of these issues, we strongly advise against using Joomag's services and recommend seeking alternative platforms that prioritize transparency, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.
  • There are some limitations to keep in mind. For example, the space in the viewer may not be as extensive as some users would prefer. Additionally, while Joomag offers a range of interactive elements, there may be a limited number of additional options to enhance the content. Finally, the collaboration options offered by Joomag may not be as extensive as some users require.
  • Extremely clunky. Incredibly difficult to use guides for uniform, center placement. You have to manually copy and paste each page from the template into your project, and the placement doesn't transfer over. Very easy for your pages to get corrupted, happened to me. Mobile version is a joke. Don't even bother using this software if you want to distribute other than on desktop. Not very user-friendly. No readily made assets or menu.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A wide variety of professional editors to fit any genre of book. It was also nice to have a range of prices to choose from to fit my project.
  • Reedsy, as a platform, was easy to use. I found it easy to navigate and easy to select an editor that fit my requirements. I like the fact that I could communicate with potential editors to get an understanding how they would work to my benefit.
  • As a first-time children's author, I found Reedsy to be an excellent platform for connecting with experienced publishing professionals. The site was easy to navigate, the editor profiles were detailed and informative, and the communication process was straightforward throughout. I was able to find an editor whose expertise matched my project, and the feedback I received has been invaluable in helping me better understand picture book writing, story development and the publishing process. Overall, Reedsy gave me confidence to take the next step with my writing and I would happily recommend it to other aspiring authors.
  • Everything was approachable and accessible. It was a very easy working experience. I am new to publishing and was able to come up to speed very quickly. The freelancers were also very helpful in providing direction.
  • Loved the range and accessibility of the site. I also appreciated the encouragement from the editor and the overall site layout, price range for work.

Cons

  • I didn't find anything negative about using Reedsy. It seems to be filled with serious professionals.
  • I can find no fault with Reedsy and I was extremely pleased with the results.
  • More transparency around typical pricing. It would be useful to see indicative price ranges for common editing services before submitting requests, particularly for shorter picture book manuscripts. A side-by-side comparison tool showing service scope, turnaround times and pricing could help authors make informed decisions between professionals.
  • N/A - I did not have any problems of cons with Reedsy or their people.
  • There was nothing that I did not like but I would like yo see more inclusion of editing for Caribbean writers dialects etc.
