FlippingBook Online Reviews

Pros

Running a charity publication, we use this software to create our specialist quarterly Mountain Rescue magazine and it has been incredibly user friendly for both the person building it and the people reading it. It's simple to personalize and match to our branding, it looks fantastic and it has really helped us grow our readership while keeping members, supporters and fundraisers better informed and connected. The new bookshelves feature has been especially useful as a marketing tool. On top of that, customer support has been excellent whenever I've needed help :)

Cons

From a user perspective, I can't think of any real downside. I really enjoy how it recreates the feel of reading a printed publication with the page-turn effect, it's far more engaging than just scrolling through a webpage or looking at a static PDF.

Pros

Getting the backend set up and managed is very easy. Everything is clear and accessible so it takes very little explanation or training to start using it.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. It was the only platform we found that could present reports in a clean, readable way while also giving us complete stats behind the scenes.

Pros

I was expecting a lot more from this service.

Cons

The features are not very clear and there are other services that are easier to use and offer many more functions.

Pros

It gave us a way to start using flip books for client job proofs which was really useful in our workflow.

Cons

Every now and then, converting a file into a flip book would cause some of the text to fade which was really strange. We had to manually rework those particular pages just to make them display properly and we were never able to figure out the exact cause. Even their customer support couldn't pin it down.

Pros

Turning a regular PDF into something dynamic is really easy. On top of that, the option to build a detailed table of contents is genuinely very useful.

Cons

Sometimes it doesn't properly recognize blank pages so I have to replace the page that came out wrong. It only takes a few moments though.

Pros

Being able to send tracked links has been the biggest advantage for us. It's been incredibly useful for seeing whether our documents are actually reaching the right audience and making the impact we want. FlippingBook Online was simple to use and customizing everything didn't take much effort either. It's also elevated the quality of our brochures quite a bit. One of our clients even said it was the "coolest" packet he had seen so far.

Cons

At this point, we really haven't come across any downsides while using it.

Pros

Getting started was easy and I had no trouble figuring out how everything worked. It's the simplest software I've used for turning a PDF into an engaging digital flipbook.

Cons

The only downside is the limited pricing options. They really should add a plan for users with mid-level needs.

Pros

Our documents look much more polished and professional now. Since customers can open them easily on their devices, there's a better chance they'll actually read the information we need them to see. It's easy to use and the statistics have been really helpful. Being able to customize our booklets and documents is also a big plus. Another benefit is that it helps us cut down on paper use.

Cons

It is on the expensive side although the level of service you get does help justify the cost.

Pros

Put a presentation together that you're proud of, save it as a PDF and FlippingBook Online takes it to another level! It adds that extra polish that makes the whole project stand out and helps you look even better. Absolutely love this product!

Cons

Honestly, there's nothing I like least about it.

Pros

The index and overall look of the platform are really well done and the corporate personalization options are excellent.

Cons

Biggest frustration is analytics. I can check the data in Google Analytics but it's messy and paying an extra 499 just to access those analytics feels far too expensive. The editable layer for links could also be better especially with something like an alignment tool for index pages. At times, links don't come through properly from InDesign and parts get created on a separate layer which ends up causing duplicated text.
