Issuu 2.6.2

Get your favorite magazines in one place on your phone
In today's world we're bombarded with information to acquire, ads to see and products to buy, it seems unusual to buy magazines and news articles and carry them around. Unless you're a collector, try Issuu. It's a great app that lets you check out magazines and publications from all over the world and even some issued a few years ago.

UI that makes it easy to shift through magazines and pages

Issuu sports a clean and fresh interface that makes it easy to search and find the content that you need. There are no themes or customization features, but you won't need them as the app focuses on content and sharing.

The UI is well structured with sections and a hamburger menu that incorporates all the tools you'd need to browse through magazines with high-quality pictures. The app comes with a safe-mode that filters publications that have explicit content.

Read magazines in landscape or portrait view

The feed section comes with a variety of magazines and publications on various topics, with all sections neatly arranged. You can follow any topic and receive suggestions of magazines based on your choice. All magazines come with HD images so you don't have to worry about the quality of pictures.

In addition, you can filter publications by language but not date of issue. The explore section is the place where you can shift through the most popular and recent magazines. There's the option of favoring them, adding them to your many stacks, sharing or flagging publications with inappropriate content.

Issuu Clip tool for commenting on pictures

The app recommends online registration via your Google+, Facebook or Issuu account but it's not mandatory. This is required for creating your stacks of magazines, following a publisher or other users, so Issuu can also represent a community of users. In addition, you can use your account to upload magazines or comment.

The Issuu Clip function lets you share or comment on any part of a publication. All you need to do is clip the part you find interesting, write a comment and share it on your social channels.
