  • So Much Capacity

    By Disloyal
    So far Swift has been amazing! I've had no stability issues, love how you have a forground and background setting, love the abiltity to just pull items into my project - so much more to explore for capacity. Thank you for rescuing me from iStudio that has stopped supporting that product. Swift is so much better.

    I have used several of the very expensive desktop publishers over the years but once I found SP in Version 3, I have been very happy with it. It does everything I need to do, Flyers, signs, brochures, marketing pieces, daily custom appointment book for 3 golf instructors, etc. I can save in any format I need and while it offers templates, it also gives me full power to create my own designs and templates and save them to be used again to update. I still have one of the "others" but Swift Publisher is my "Go to!" Would love to see it available for the iPad.
  • Can't open the program

    Maybe it will get better when I receive a response on my support ticket, but I just purchased this app, only to discover that it simply will not open. I am using a macbook pro, lastest sonoma software. Having this experience at the beginning after having purchased the program has been disappointing.
  • Love the program & customer support

    After using this software for years with no issues, all of a sudden there was a glitch in the software. I tried all the things and eventually contacted customer support. Two weeks of emails back and forth with screen shots and videos and the figured out what was wrong and issued an update! So satisfied with the helpfulness and attentiveness of this company and very satisfied with the product and the publications I'm able to produce with it!
  • Still no path to Booklet Printing

    I purchased this in an attempt to enable printing booklets on horizontal letter sheets. I followed the documentation and it simply does not work. The software seems fine, but it was a $20 bet to try and solve my problem and it didn't. A free trial would have been really nice.
  • amazing versatile program for the price

    I use it mostly for creating booklets for teaching materials. It works well. I've also used it for flyers, birthday cards and other misc things and it fits the bill nicely.

  • Birthday Cards

    I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this program. I make birthday cards for my family -70- every year. I also love the fact that I can find free graphics on Safari.
  • SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT ALONE

    I originally purchased Belight's Publisher (with ARt Text) about 8 or 10 years ago (Version 2). It was fantastic!! Just recently, I upgraded my iOS for my Mac Mini computer, which required that I upgrade my version of Publisher. What a disaster!!! The newest version is unwieldy, non-intuitive, and not nearly as user friendly as it was previously. I'm hoping with practice that I can master this new version, but as of now, I truly hate it. Sorry, but that's been my experience. I gave it 3 stars, because despite the difficulty I'm having with it, I'm hopeful that I'll eventually find it will work for me.
  • Print function Completely Bugged Out - Useless!

    I've had this software for years and have had a few minor problems with poor user interface. Today, I'll be making a switch to something else. The print function within the app is completely bugged out. I've called Apple and they've confirmed the problem lies within the Swiftpublisher app. Working under a deadline and they have no support line only a contact form. My deadline will have come and gone before I get a response. Unable to print selected pages, only allows me to print the entire document. Garbage
