"Easy to use, with great customer support"
What do you like best about Joomag?

We've used Joomag for a decade to product 1-2 digital magazines each month and it's been a wonderful experience. The software itself only took a few days to master and onboarding staff over the years has been easy. It allowed us to display our magazines in a much more professional format than a plain PDF and we were also able to publish to the App Store and Play Store directly from Joomag's back end. The web version integrated easily and automatically into our website with just a snippet of code. Their customer service team was alway prompt and friendly, helping as fast as they could and we've had very few issues over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

We don't have as much control over the app stores as we'd like - having to contact their team for image/copy updates or push notifications instead of doing them ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomag is great but its tech support is especially exceptional"
What do you like best about Joomag?

We produce several monthly publications and have been using Joomag exclusively since 2019. We are very happy with the ease of use and mostly-intutive interface, as well as the rich features that a license offers. But where the rubber meets the road is the exceptional customer service when you get yourself into a jam. Their crack team is very responsive, competent and personable. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the software as well as the people of Joomag, and I highly recommend this company and its products! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

There's a lot to love and I haven't discovered anything I dislike. The price of an enterprise program is a bit steeper than I would like, but every software company is raising its prices. Joomag remains a good value for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A support organisation from heaven"
What do you like best about Joomag?

Whenever you need help, support is always only moments away on their chat. I have been using Joomag for 11 years now and been with them on their development journey. We have grown from a small solution to the enterprise solution. I would like to say that their entry level solution gives a lot.

And the system is very easy to use. Yes of course, we wonder about how to solve thing from time to time, and then the Joomag support team is just seconds away to help you out.

I am now using it on a number of different magazines, from industry business to consumer magazines. Work just as fine either you design your magazines in programs like Adobe InDesign or if you design it in the Joomag software.

If you condider to make a digital publication, I highly recommend trying out Joomag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

This is a hard question.

On rare occassions we need special things, like a new category in their Newsstand (a platform where you can post your publication so new people can discover you without you doing much). May take some time to get your suggestions through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Joomag User Experience and Customer Service is amazing"
What do you like best about Joomag?

Joomag is user-friendly and customer support is always very prompt to respond. My last check-in with our account rep Brian was above and beyond. He really made an attempt to get to know us as a customer and what our business needs were and even make suggestions on ways to improve the use of Joomag product. We have been with Joomag for 10+ years now and look to continue our relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

No real downsides. Suggested feature to be able to build your software with needs and pricing options that work best for your team with launch of basic package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"They billed me early then refuse to provide a refund - and won't answer the phone."
What do you like best about Joomag?

The platform itself was easy to use. That's about all I say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

We are discontinuing our online publication and were intending to cancel before it was up for renewal on Nov. 30. They charged us 6 days earlier, double the price, and refuse to refund or answer the phone. I would not recommend this site to anyone. Horrible customer service.

"Amazing product and customer service"
What do you like best about Joomag?

Joomag is very user-friendly and has helped our team avoid endless PDF uploads to our website. My favorite feature is the ease of replacing a PDF within the tool or just a one-page update if desired. Another feature is the analytics tool. I've found it very useful to help provide data to our stakeholders for our Annual Reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

Nothing! I always see improvements in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Joomag team has been very responsive to our needs as we developed and set up our platform! They are very good listeners and have implemented our vision with precision and professionalism.

We are truly looking forward to using this platform and have great hopes that it will help us expand our strategies in the digital world.

Our CSR and development team are the best!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After running into an issue uploading a file to our Joomag account, I emailed the help desk. Roberta Wilson responded right away to explain what the problem was on the backend and quickly took care of the upload issue. I was able to log back in and get my work done ASAP. Friendy and fast. I really appreciate the help and the responsiveness from customer service. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall, recommend Joomag for digital magazine creation"
What do you like best about Joomag?

Joomag offers great support. The joomag team is available to help when you run into any issue. The platform is easy to use and navigate. They're constantly rolling out new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joomag?

One drawback if a publication is saved as a draft, it still uses one of your publications alotment within your subscription. I feel it should only count as a publication if it is live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
