I've been using Microsoft Publisher for years to create school resources, and I have thousands of Publisher files. The thought of losing access to a program I use practically every week was pretty overwhelming!

I tried various alternatives, including LibreOffice Draw, but although I could open my existing files, working with them was frustrating. Everything felt unfamiliar, and I was spending more time trying to work out how to do things than actually creating anything.

Then I discovered PubKeep, and what a relief!

The interface is wonderfully familiar, so I could get straight to work without having to learn a completely different program. My existing Publisher files open beautifully, with images, text boxes and even tables preserved. And creating new documents feels just like using Publisher again.

But what has really blown me away is the developer's responsiveness. I contacted Adam with a request for several features that I particularly missed from Publisher. Not only did he respond personally, but **less than 18 hours later, he'd implemented all four features and released an update!** I honestly can't remember ever experiencing customer service quite like that.

PubKeep is still being developed, and there are things being added and improved, but that's actually rather exciting when the developer is so clearly listening to the people using it.

After worrying for so long about how I was going to manage without Publisher, I'm genuinely delighted to have found PubKeep. I can finally get back to concentrating on what I'm creating instead of fighting with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PubKeep is still a relatively new program, so there are some features that are still being developed or refined. However, the developer is incredibly responsive to feedback, and the features I've found myself missing have already been added remarkably quickly. So far, I haven't encountered any significant downsides to using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
