### "A software solution we didn't know we needed"

December 15, 2020

5.0

We publish a parts catalog once a year, but make changes to it many time throughout the year and went from spending 5 figures on printing, shipping, etc to only paying the subscription fee for PaperTurn which is obviously insanely cheap in comparison. We don't need to worry about shipping anything anymore and customers regardless of what type of device they choose to use can pull up our catalog, browse through it, print it, download it, whatever they want to do and anytime we have a price change the second we press upload its reflected online without any tedious effort needed so our prices can be updated in real time for our customers instead of them needing to wait a year or call in to see the new pricing.

Pros

The ability to make a publication offline, upload it, and have it immediately compatible with all browsers, both desktop and mobile has been a game changer for us. Making changes by simply reuploading our publication on top of itself is amazing. We can make changes daily and our customers never need a new link, there's no downtime, the changes are just instant and all it takes is up pressing upload. The realistic approach of actually turning paper on mobile or desktops, the page turning sound, search function, thumbnail functions, all of the little additional things you wouldn't think mattered have made our customers experiencing searching our catalog so much better.

Cons

We had a few customers tell us they couldn't access our publication online and after researching the issue we found the server our publication was hosted on was not in the US and their firewall was using GEO-IP to block countries outside of the US. We resolved the issue but be aware that could happen to you.

Reason for choosing Paperturn

After using the trial of paperturn, seeing how fast it responded and the additional features it provided for our run of the mill catalog is what ultimately made me choose this software. When it came time to renew after our first year we did so without hesitation as PaperTurn has become a stable for our business.

### "Mostly pros, only one con"

March 1, 2023

3.0

We publish a quarterly digital magazine

Pros

We find its functionality very user friendly and we use the statistics tab a lot throughout issues to track the progress of readership.

Cons

With every edition we have difficulties with embedding the custom code onto our Squarespace website. For two such leading brands we would have hoped that this wouldn't be an issue but it is.

### "Paperturn for Printing Proofs"

September 23, 2022

4.0

It's easy to use and so for it seems to accurately show our customers a preview of what their printed piece will look like.

Pros

Ease of use, along with the extra features and permissions come in real handy. We use them to customize each customer's proof Experience.

Cons

Upload time to the server is pretty slow. It'd help us out a whole lot if it could create a high quality ePub file.

We could no longer trust that their flipbooks would accurately match the original PDF without some extra rigging via photoshop. Their software was causing some type to fade compared to the original PDF.

### "Easy and Quick when needed, Robust when needed."

December 10, 2020

5.0

We produce a print publication that does not have a digital release, to sell advertising, potential advertisers want to see the publication. Rather than wasting time mailing hard copy issues, I can simply create a pageturn of our most recent issue and email them the link. From there they can view the full issue. Great time saver!! and Great visual experience.

Pros

When I don't have time, I love I can simply upload my pdf and whoolah...it's ready in minutes. When I need more detail, there are plenty of options to integrate elements, links, etc. I'm not an IT person...and I don't need to be.

Cons

I do wish my level included a few more books, I really have to keep to a budget, which means I have to remove some pub's before I'd like so more can be added.

Reason for choosing Paperturn

This platform is easier to use and visually I prefer this result.

June 27, 2023

5.0

Really satisfying

Pros

I love that everything about Paperturn is geared towards being easy to understand, navigate and implement which, for a small non profit is absolutely essential.

Cons

Tutorials on how to make the most out of how you can use Paperturn would be really useful

### "Dependable - Both the Product and Customer Service"

December 14, 2020

4.0

Our client wanted a digital version on their annual benefits guide for healthcare open enrollment. In my past carriers, I have used similar products on the market, and was unhappy. Within my first chat with customer service, I was impressed and signed up for a free trial. Anytime I have had an issue, customer service was there to answer my questions (no matter how trivial!).

Pros

My favorite part of this product is that our client can use this on their desktop and phone and there is NO DIFFERENCE between the quality and ease of use. As an account manager, a happy client is the goal!

Cons

There was not one thing that I did not like; telling the truth!

December 10, 2020

4.0

Pros

It was user friendly and made for a beautiful online presentation in the digital age that we are now living. I really liked the sound effect of the page-turn - so satisfying!

Cons

It didn't have the privacy features that we needed so we had to add custom code to our website. We wanted to be able to assign a unique username/password to each person. We also needed a confidentiality agreement signed prior to being able to view the presentation.

Reason for choosing Paperturn

Ease of use, professional looking website, customer service.

### "Cost-effective and easy to use "

December 15, 2020

5.0

As a not-for-profit it’s important to us to find cost efficiencies wherever possible. We have found this platform to be simple and reliable with great communication and a high quality presentation.

Pros

For a very reasonable cost, our non-profit organisation has been able to have an annual publication hosted on Paperturn for easy access by thousands of users. The front-end UI is attractive and the back-end management of our publication has been simple and efficient. In the past we have taken down our publications on other portals after a couple of months to save on costs, but this year we decided to leave it up and running because the costs are so manageable. The stats are incredibly insightful for understanding the impact of your publications.

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say in particular. The settings dialogue box for individual publications is a bit ordinary, but it’s functional.

March 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

The most useful feature for us is versioning. When we update a brochure, the link to the file remains the same so our customers who have been sent URLs in the past will always be presented with the most up to date materials. At the same time, we can also revert to a previous copy if there are issues with any of the content or products.

Cons

The interface for adding interactive elements is not particularly intuitive.
