Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Hoped this would be a good alternative to Adobe InDesign. Nope. It had potential but a billing error has left me with a bad opinion of the company. Be careful with your money, Adobe is much better.
  • Lucidpressโ€™ online publishing platform has all the features I need for my quarterly newsletter. I especially like that itโ€™s shareable so more than one person can write and edit directly onto the document simultaneously and in real time. Great to use while sharing on zoom! It saves changes automatically so itโ€™s virtually impossible to lose edits. Itโ€™s easy to download and save versions to refer back to, and when itโ€™s ready to print, I can save with crop marks to send directly to printers, or in optimized format for web publishing. Itโ€™s made pushing out regular and timely newsletters (not my main job!) just that much easier. Thank you, Lucidpress!
  • I love that I could create my layout in InDesign and upload it to the website and had a beautiful book in return. The site is easy to use. I read a round-up of reviews and Lucidpress was recommended. I have been extremely happy with my decision
  • I like the opportunity to have a free trial to see what Lucidpress was all about. After those 14 days, I could not purchase it fast enough. The ease of allowing people to create content without having to impact my coworkers was amazing.
  • No matter how you search for a template, they are quick to find, easy to use and simple to download. It is user friendly and generates the perfect customizable flyer.

Cons

  • Charged me nearly $400 for a year of software, even after I cancelled my subscription. Did not send an invoice or receipt. Will not refund or resolve the issue.
  • The learning curve was somewhat steep at first when my employer, UCI Health, decided to use this through one of our printing partners, but once I mastered the quirks in its text formatting and image handling, it was smooth sailing. It doesnโ€™t handle directory listings in column format terribly well and it automatically resized text without my asking. Perhaps I need to figure out how to prevent this, but it was frustrating to say the least!
  • I would lever a larger gutter in layout. This was not adjusted in the template that I had to upload the document to.
  • I have yet to run into a con, anytime I have had any sort of issue (which haven't been many) the customer service has been there with every answer.
  • I have not found any negative feature using this system.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Amazing team updates the app frequently. The editor is super easy and fun to use. You get unlimited background remover tools with a pro subscription. Templates are amazing and easy to edit. You can create posters, videos and gifs all in one tool. All sizes are available for every social media platform.
  • Sincerely the software has given a lot of advantages to my way of working because I feel more comfortable with its tools. I have been able to create different projects from websites for new clients and advertising through graphic design tools. It is fantastic; its price is not high and does not generate distrust when acquiring it.
  • I like Crello because it covers an incredible quality in web design and graphics in different shades, I have been able to simplify my creations to a solid level, it is not slow at all and the learning curve is not steep compared to other software. I also consider that the price for the product is incredible.
  • In my opinion, the design a lot modern compare to competitor. I like the design, but choices of design is not much, hope Crello can add more new template time to time.
  • This is one of the best software programs for easily creating images and videos for posting. It's so easy to use.

Cons

  • If you create a design on desktop it cannot be edited on mobile and vice versa.
  • I want the program to be a little more didactic for those using this type of software for the first time.
  • I dislike the fact that it is a little unknown compared to other top programs, it would be ideal if the managers would invest a little more in advertising, so the user forum would grow more.
  • Some features are not available compared to the competitor, soonest I believe Crello will have it. For free account choice is very limited compare to competitor, basically unable to attract people to use free account (in my opinion), not much impact for me as I am using premium account
  • Really there's not anything bad I could say about this program.
