Yumpu Reviews & Product Details

I like the ease of use of Yumpu. It's easy for me to use and embed Yumpu and have users access my newsletter publications. I use it once a month. It does have features I like to use, but it could just be thismuch more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the following for Yumpu:

-The Cost

-How you have to sign in to download content

-The Yumpu branding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can create a very professional look for your documents and you don't need to know much about software or coding. All you need to do is upload your PDF and Yumpu does the rest. Once uploaded, you can customize how your document will be shown: the cover, the effects to turn pages, and even the option to download the PDF. Plus, you get access to analytics so you can see how many people are looking at your books/magazines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI in the backend feels a little dated and not so user-friendly. The pricing is ok, but Yumpu should offer a discount based on the number of magazines you upload. For instance, we don't use all the magazine slots our plan has, we should be billed accordingly, not by the full amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yumpu takes a static PDF and turns it into a page turner (like an online magazine or brochure) with a minimum amount of work on your part. You don't have to be super IT smart or anything. Just click upload and then tick a few boxes. Copy and paste the HTML and you are good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently Yumpu has been squeezing free users more and more trying to corner you into upgrading (even if you only use it once a month like I do). While this is pretty typical I often wish companies incentivised you to use their paid services by giving you more not taking away the toys you already have. It just feels sad.

Yumpu is really easy to use, it is flexible, simple to set up and use. You can create online magazines, booklets, leaflets, and flyers in pdf form in a matter of minutes. The site even allows you to personalize your pages with company logos and a short description. We use the free for life version for sharing articles, papers and promotional materials to others. The interface is very clean and professional looking and once converted to flipbooks, the site allows us to reach a much wider audience - without clogging up our own site with lots of pdf documents. If you wish you can embed the links to the various documents you create on your own social media platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free service does have limitations (including sometimes, some quite questionable adverts), however, you can upgrade to get rid of these, increase your storage and pick up a lot more features inc the ability for readers to download your publications. My main gripe is the very limited search facility - you tend to get quite random results from any search whenever you want to look for a fairly defined theme. Additionally, don't try to log on to your Yumpu account by going to the main Yumpu site. For some reason, it is impossible to find where to log in from the main page - so search for Yumpu login when Googling it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are a very small business that just wants to offer a few guides to customers, you can do that in YUMPU for free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Eventually, they started injecting pop-up ads in our publications, even one with pornographic material, which was an eye-opener. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A fabulous end result for an unbelievably low price. I am honestly bowled over by the value we get for the money we pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are sometimes slow to respond to queries, but they always do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not been using the product long enough - I tried it out briefly and discovered I didn't need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service is horrible. After you sign up for a 30-days trial, they charge $250 USD for a whole year subscription without any notifications or reminders prior to the charge. I requested a refund literally 5 minutes after it occurred. I explained that I honestly forgot about the subscription since I hadn't been using it, and therefore, I don't need their service. They refused, saying "feel free to use it for a whole year". I had to waste a lot of time getting my money back through claims and disputes. There was neither physical product involved, nor human labor, yet they put in a lot of effort to try and keep the money at all costs. An unethical and unprofessional company that doesn't care about its customers. I would never want to deal with a company with such poor ethics no matter their product quality. Avoid!
