November 22, 2017 4.0 I was a longtime user of Joomag and had a horrible experience with them, forcing me to look elsewhere to publish my magazine. Flip Builder was a one-time purchase...I own the software and am no longer held hostage by Joomag's horrible customer service and monthly fees. I am finally FREE! I am thrilled by not having the huge financial commitment and BETTER features. It is virtually identical to Joomag in appearance, except the software is dependable. I also can forgo the negative, frustrating interactions with Joomag management when their lower level reps can't troubleshoot software problems. No more hold-ups while waiting for inexperienced customer service reps to screw up my account either. I am now master of my own domain and I am breathing easier now due to the switch-over. Pros Easy to use -- actually offers more features than Joomag. Very cost effective. Does not hold you hostage like Joomag does. I was a longtime user of Joomag and found them to be a racket and to have unreliable software and snooty tech support. They also don't keep their agreements for the program you subscribe to. With Flip Builder you own the software outright so you are not beholden to expensive monthly subscriptions and can drive the traffic to your website. As the owner of a magazine, I am thrilled to get out from under "Big Brother" Joomag. Cons Slow tech support and you are dealing overseas. There is more formatting to do and it does take a bit to get the hang of the software. Review Source AC Allen C. Technology Strategy Consulting Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceptional interactive PDF presentation system." April 27, 2025 5.0 I've produced several large, complex PDF books that needed to be published interactively, in addition to printed and bound books. FlipBuilder handled them all without any issues, and the results work great on PC, Mac, and phones. Pros I've been using FlipBuilder for a few years now, and this program is exceptionally well done. It's stable and feature-rich, and does far more than I initially planned for online PDF presentations. It's so flexible and capable that I'm inspired to use PDFs for many more projects than I ever imagined. It's a wonderful source of ideas and creative methods of interactive, multi-media presentation. And the support is fast, friendly, thoughtful, and thorough. Cons It's a little complex to learn all the features, in part due to a slightly unconventional user interface. But the system is amazingly complete, and the documentation is excellent. And as mentioned, support is superb.

The person assigned to my account has not been able to solve my audio challenges on her own and we have been held up on publishing our very first Flip PDF for \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] because of this. She should have had ready answers to my questions AND they should also be FAQ, e.g., should be stated that the audio format must be mp3 -- it took me a good week to get this vital information when I was using another extension. Then I did not get a clear answer to how to assign audio variably to single and double pages -- another FAQ should state that sound must be attached to single or double pages for the whole Flip book and user cannot mix single and double pages. I had to figure this out myself. Also no clear answer as to when Flip PDF will get updated to include a download function. I'm still waiting for a response to my query about the alternative for Flipbook sales when there is no download function. Access to a link is not a viable option for unique access to a publication. I am dissatisfied that no way to contact the supervisor or administrator for Flip PDF either by email or phone when the person assigned to me is clearly out of her depth. The last message she sent me was a screenshot for setting the playback function to zero, which is not even available in my version. Pros Flip PDF meets the needs of our multi-media niche publishing company dedicated to the healing arts because it allows integration of text, audio, video, and hyperlinks into a flipbook. Also, user-friendly in that a moderately computer-savvy person can create a Flipbook without hiring technical help. Cons The integration of the sound files has been unreliable. The playback function (number of rotations set to 0) worked on a trial file but when I published the final for publication under the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] primatur, it repeated after every page. Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus Established longer and with a track record of favourable reviews Review Source AC Amber C. Managing Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product and very responsive support team" January 13, 2026 5.0 Great product, easy to use and very responsive support team. I would recommend this software for anyone looking to turn their publications into flipbooks. Pros Fantastic support team! I've emailed support with "how to" questions and they were extremely responsive and very helpful. Cons A little bit of a learning curve as a new user, although the user guides are helpful and the support team is great. Review Source NO Nenad O. Senior Graphic Designer Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great guys" September 29, 2025 5.0 User friendly app. Support is prompt and professional. We will continue to use this application in the future. Pros Great product with affordable price, and most efficient support. They solved our licence problem in ten minutes. Cons Nothing to be mentioned. We are very satisfied with this application, and very friendly support. They react fast and efficient.

Application has great performances. Review Source LF Lisa F. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Long Time User" September 27, 2025 5.0 I have used FlipPDF by Flip Builder for years, and wanted to upgrade to the latest version. I like the clean interface and number of options available for design and publishing. Pros I like Flip Builder's straightforward UI and robust publishing options. I like being able to own the software instead of a subscription. Cons Templates are a bit outdated looking. I like that Google Analytics can be integrated but would rather have GTM. Switched from [Flipsnack](https://www.capterra.com/p/176854/Flipsnack/) I prefer owning the software to a subscription model. Plus, Flip Builder has been reliable as a business.

Managing Director Printing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love this product" February 17, 2025 5.0 At first it was a bit overwhelming with all the options and features but with each production I realised that I am looking forward to even more options. Pros I love the one time fee and unlimited usage, the option to host my own flipbooks with my own URL and without the FlipBuilder watermarks makes my flipbooks more professional than some much larger companies. The choice of options is amazing, and I look forward to newer options coming in the future. Would and have recommend to anyone looking at creating flipbooks. Cons I don't think there are any negatives to Flip PDF Switched from [Designrr](https://www.capterra.com/p/202801/Designrr/) More options, more professional look and feel from the finished product.

Greate setup, with easy to use functions that are multifaceted. It handdles interactivity well. Pros Easy of use and superb functionality to make the task of publishing a digital magazine online straightforward. Cons Difficulty with creating a single account online. Payments require a different account and online account management in not intuitive. Alternatives considered [FlippingBook Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/123930/FlippingBook-Publisher/) Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus Offline software is easy to use. When account is set up properly, hosting a digital magazine becomes easy. Review Source AA Anthony A. CEO Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Epub3 export functionality" February 16, 2025 4.0 My overall experience in using the software has been unique, I find it very easy to use without difficulty. The software is great in every sense. Pros The software is somehow good interactively, coupled with numerous features. The Android APK export is so helpful. The Windows and Mac executables too are good for desktop users. Publishing is also simply fast. Cons My only disappointment with it is the omission of the epub3 export and also the exported HTML 5 format is almost unmodifiable in other HTML applications. For example, I have been trying all I can to convert the HTML to epub3 but to no avail. So I wish that the epub3 export format is added to it. Switched from [Adobe Dreamweaver](https://www.capterra.com/p/233245/Adobe-Dreamweaver/) Epub3 export. Further improvement for HTML. Review Source AE Amy E. Web and Graphic Designer Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So happy I finally found a flipbook with all the features I need " May 23, 2025 5.0 My client owns a restaurant and he has several menus that he wants to show images for and he’s taking advantage of all the additional features like videos, forms, etc. Pros The one time purchase option and the fact it had all the features I was looking for. I really wanted to my clients restaurant menus to be able to hover over the text and then automatically show the image and a lot of the other apps didn’t even offer the feature. Cons Nothing so far! But I only just started. I will mention that the software seems easier to work with than the web based editor. Review Source MW Michael W. Author Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Towards Digital Perfection" August 15, 2020 5.0 Overall my experience with FlipBuilder is positive due to their professional software, which they are continually improving. I have been with Flip-builder for almost five years, and I am happy to report that their desire to help from the customer services department is polite and informative, especially when they include screenshots with their text. Pros FlipBuilder software P.D.F. professional software presents exceptional opportunities for directors and managers to offer their products to potential customers. The digital options inside this software enable the user to create DVD, audio, and digital image presentations. If the user has a brain and can push a few buttons, congratulations, this is the perfect solution to reach out and build any business from self-publishing to multi-million-pound production profit! Flip-Builder is the professional answer to any business communication requirements. Cons I can not think of any downside to this fantastic software.

Owner Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This is a great app for making changes to PDF files" April 5, 2021 5.0 Pros I love using Flip PDF because it makes my life so much easier with it's many functions. If I need to edit a file or format it a different way, this app allows me to do that with so much ease. It is a favorite of mine because as a small business owner I need a reliable app for all my different files and this is the one I prefer to use. Cons There are no cons to Flip PDF because it does what it advertises and that is formatting files in PDF format. I really enjoy using this app. Review Source NMW Nessa Marie W. Owner Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Expensive Product" May 5, 2020 5.0 I wish I would have saved my overall investment and purchased another software package. I can no longer use this software so it was a total waste of money. Pros I like that I was able to put together some cool flipbooks with this software. I was looking for something that was easy to use for online brochures and itineraries for group travel. Cons The software was pretty hard to figure how to use in the beginning. Once I got the hang of it, it seems that I was charged to create each book although the software itself was very expensive. I’m a small business owner and cannot afford to pay each time I create a book and use the link. In addition, why does the link expire months after you have purchased? I also wish there were better tutorials to show how to use the software and make professional looking books. I couldn’t figure out how to put more than one picture on per page. Review Source MH Michele H. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flip PDF Performance" May 5, 2020 5.0 I like it and will use it since I purchased the product about 5 years ago. Pros This product allows for customization with your presentation. Cons Limited in design and the ability to upload your own branding pages. Big shortfall Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus It was a long time ago. I did call the "other brand" in error and they were able to tell me how to fix a technical issue, which was nice. Review Source SA Samuel A. Mission Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Digital booklets going worldwide" May 18, 2020 4.0 I have been very happy in general - and a lot of people are delighted with the idea of a Flip Book. It causes a lot of good reaction. Pros The software has been easy to use to make a Flip book - It did everything that I wanted to achieve except I have not been able to change the order of the books in the Bookcase. I know you can change by date or by name but that really does not help. Cons As far as I can see if someone is in a place where the internet is not to strong it takes a fair while for the pages to download. Often so slow the person gives up waiting. I choose medium size when making the files to get a balance between clear images and size of files but I note that people are having to wait to long for the first page to appear.

IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Use of Flip PDF as a Youblisher replacement" May 11, 2020 4.0 Replacement of Youblisher to make pdfs on a single website \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] more accessible. Pros Fairly straightforward to use and allows the published result to be stored on the website, future-proofing it. This is quite different to Youblisher, which was solely cloud based and when they went out of business the website was impacted. Cons I could not get it to work on an old laptop used for most of the website design, so have to dedicate a different laptop as my Flip PDF generator. Regarding branding, I am unsure if the software is Flip PDF or Flip Builder, because the customer sees Flip Builder. Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus It worked first time. The others were trickier.

Marketing & Graphic Design Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Point System" May 5, 2020 4.0 The benefit of using Flip PDF is the small amount of work on our end for a very amazing final product digital flipbook! Pros The software is easy to use and makes the pdf like our Graduation program and our viewbook looks nice and interactive in a digital format. Especially now that we are in quarantine and are still needing to get content and information out to prospective and current students in a cool way! Cons The Point System is confusing when uploading the books over each other online. If replaced I do not think a point should be deducted, only when another book is uploaded. Tends to save old data and not replace the book until another is selected and the original is reselected. Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus Flipbook looked the most real and not fake software that had reviews. We tested it and ended up wanting to use it. Review Source AM Aurea M. Production and Marketing Coorindator Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flip PDF Took our Catalogues from Print to Online" May 11, 2020 5.0 We wanted a way to send our product catalogues to dealers in a professional way, versus scrolling through a .PDF. Flip PDF offered us a way to accomplish our goal. Bonus: Anyone who receives our online catalogue is impressed with the product. Pros Very easy to use, and the final product looks very professional. The result is fantatsic! Cons A little confusing where the final product is saved and how to access and share the catalogues once they were saved. Review Source RB Ron B. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Impressive Product" May 13, 2020 5.0 Making Flip Advertisement books for small business owners Pros Perfect software for making a lasting impression. Easy conversion from PDF to a dazzling Flip Book. Cons No improvements needed except perhaps a 3D image effect on the pages. Review Source PL Paul L. Owner Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New user" May 11, 2020 5.0 Pros Were using the software so people don’t have to touch our information guide. So far it seems to work well Cons So far we have not had a good response from their customer service team. So we’re having to figure things out on our own.

Pros After getting use to the program it is very easy and wonderful! Cons I really don't have any cons for the program . . . it's a bit on the tough side to get use to but all programs are like that! Review Source CT Christopher T.

Review Source KM Kit M. Director Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent programme and great technical support." November 15, 2020 5.0 The technical support has been excellent with someone getting back to me with detailed advice quickly on every occasion. An impressive programme and service for the price. I highly recommend. Pros Inexpensive in comparison to competitors yet better quality and easier to use. Cons It takes a little bit of time to get used to - though easy after a couple of books. Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus Better features for less money. Review Source CC Christie C. Technology Adoption Specialist Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product for Bundling Information" May 5, 2020 4.0 Pros I like the ability to bundle different media types together in one place. The ability to load videos and put context with it via text is great. Cons Some features cancel out other features if used on the same area or zone of the pdf. The video pop out action would be more useful if the dimensions were responsive to account for smaller screens. The interface and some design elements are dated. Review Source DH David H. owner Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "David Hobrath ebook publisher" May 5, 2020 5.0 so far so good. i love the exe file of my book. Pros the end result of my 841 page book looks fantastic. works on every pc its installed on and feels like a real book. love it. Cons i am having some problems with the pages needing reformatting on the tablet or ipad versions when I save a mobile version of the book. Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus seemed more user friendly. I am a author not a programmer. Review Source Similar Products Featured
