### "My trusted companion since more than 13 years"

October 8, 2024

5.0

How above stated my experience is very positive and I still use it till this product should be available in the market, because I can easily create my interactive books in a blink of an eye, just reusing my custo settings.

Pros

Fliphtml5 have been my trusted companion since more than 13 year ago today. I started using it when it had another name and had a part in flash and other in HTML. What I liked at first use was the smoothness of page animation. I still love it today and I never change this software just for this feature. Said so, I can talk for hour about the whole feature I used such as Page Editor or Animation Editor which gave you the chance to create whatever you like. Once you could also add an animated character that simulated the explication of the text you added in the page via audio file. But I think the limit is still your fantasy because you can customize product to your brand also adding a clickable logo. You can save settings and reuse it in other products as well as you can do with TOC and animation which can export both. Well, I just stop here to invite you giving a try to this software.

Cons

The only thing I don't like at all is that I can create the UI of my products in a language at time using the PC based version, while you can make multilingual only in online editing projects.

### "Simple and Effective Solution for Digital Catalogs"

March 17, 2026

4.0

Overall, our experience with FlipHTML5 has been very positive. It’s a straightforward and reliable platform for turning PDFs into interactive digital catalogs.

Pros

The platform is very easy to use and requires little setup time. We’re able to quickly upload our catalogs and convert them into clean, professional flipbooks. Sharing with clients is simple, and the finished product looks polished across both desktop and mobile devices.

Cons

There are no major issues so far. As we continue to use the platform more, additional customization options could be helpful for more advanced needs.

We switched for better value, ease of use, and a more designer-focused experience. FlipHTML5 provides a more efficient workflow and flexible design options, making it easier to create polished, branded catalogs.

### "SOFTWARE HAS PROBLEMS "

July 27, 2020

2.0

Support has been very poor .. Issues and complaints were sent to support who promised to look into them but never got back to us . We plan to cancel .

Pros

It is easy to upload .. but very difficult for customers to downlaod See below ..

Cons

We have nothing but complaints from customers when they try to pay for one of our books . They are unable to down load the booklet and can extreme difficulty when using pay pal. Support promised many times to address the issue but has not gotten back to us . We had the same issues a few years ago and cancelled . We figured this year we would try again but very sorry to say we still have complaints from customers and probably cancel again in the next few days . Just can't have customers complaining they are unable to download. GS Prs.

### "Absolutely Smashing"

May 13, 2026

5.0

Brilliant. Customer service is second to none. Programme itself is easy to use, intuitive, easy to preview, quick to upload very large and image heavy PDF files.

Pros

After some considerable research into many similar products on the market, I went with FlipHTML5 for a variety of reasons. Cost, number of uploaded booklets and file sizes I could have at any one time, the ability to have an enbedded passwrod so my flipbooks remained private but the end user didnt need to type anything in to gain access... but most of all, I was swayed by the excellent customer service. I enquired about a few things before we signed up, and I got very swift (and very helpful) responses every time with step by step guidance with pictures on how to achieve what I wanted.

Cons

So far - nothing. Its done everything I need it to do, and I still feel like i have a lot to learn and expand into

### "A must for self publishers!"

November 13, 2025

5.0

Excellent! Afterservice and support is the biggest issue with platforms these days. I can honestly say that the feedback and support has been nothing but stellar!

Pros

Ease of use. The system is straightforward to use and has each and every feature you can think of, just what I needed

Cons

Not much really. I would like to see a few technical upgrades but that is specific to my own projects. I have escalated this to them and they are happy to look into it for me

### "I finally have found a nice place for my books!"

January 27, 2025

5.0

Positive, there is an AI chatbot, it has answered all my questions!

Pros

I have written a number of books for children with dyslexia to help them to overcome the deficiency. I was looking for the platform where I can place my books for viewing by readers and with the possibility to sell my books if the readers will like it. I tried at first publuu, but they can not provide me with the option to sell my book. FlipHtml5 can! I have found a place where I can place a book for reading and selling! WoW! Thank you FlipHTML5! You really care about the authors!

Cons

Nothing wrong as of now. I needed some explanations about how to sell my book

### "Fantastic tool for creating digital flip PDFs"

November 13, 2024

5.0

I'm personally very happy with the capabilities and performance of FlipHTML5 – highly recommended!

Pros

FlipHTML5 is a fantastic tool for creating digital flip PDFs and clearly stands out from other similar software. The platform is user-friendly – you can get started right away without complicated instructions. What makes it even better is that FlipHTML5 truly offers more features and settings than other tools I have tried. The security options are also very convenient for protecting your content, and the integrated sales function makes it easy to sell directly.

Cons

I had a little problem with de payment. But the helpdesk fixed it as soon as possible.

### "FlipHTML5: Transforming PDFs into Interactive Masterpieces "

January 23, 2025

5.0

In brief, I really like using FlipHTML5. It seems I cannot stop it once I start using it. I can use it for hours when I have a new book design and explore its features that can make the book more attractive and interesting.

Pros

I like FlipHTML5 because of its easy-used feature, especially for people like me who is far left behind in this fast-changing world of technology. By using FlipHTML5, I can design digital books - flipbooks- that look like printed books. And even when I want to move on to the next pages, I can just swipe the pages, like when I swipe the pages in the printed books. Besides, I can also easily insert audios and videos in the flipbooks that I have designed. It's so amazing for me, since I've never imagined that it's only a matter of 'a click of fingers" to operate audios, and even videos, in the books. So FlipHTML5 makes our life much easier by enabling us bringing a lot of information in the form of Links in our gadgets.

Cons

In terms of FlipHTML5 features, there is nothing that makes me unhappy. All the features amaze me and cannot stop me in using them.

### "Great Experience of digital magazine "

December 1, 2024

5.0

FlipHTML5 is an excellent investment for anyone serious about digital publishing. The platform’s versatility allows me to cater to various audiences with interactive and engaging content. The analytics feature helps me understand reader behavior and improve my future issues. Plus, the support team is responsive and helpful. It’s a practical, user-friendly solution that delivers great value for its price!

Pros

Using FlipHTML5 to create my first digital magazine was incredibly easy. The platform’s tools are intuitive, even for someone like me with no prior design experience. I appreciated the variety of templates and the option to customize everything to match my branding. The flip-page effect adds a professional touch, and embedding multimedia elements was straightforward. I couldn’t have asked for a better tool for creating digital publications!

Cons

They have developed so much as updated software....hope they would update appearance of video on the page its self.

### "This software will increase your sales and provide your company with many new clients!"

November 11, 2020

5.0

If you are seeking some methods to increase your product sales or service you have arrived at the best place to generate more sales or acquire new clients! I am very confident you will wish you had purchased their products and services much sooner! Wishing you and your family well in todays challenges!

Pros

As you know there are many company's that sell the same products or service your company sells. The advantage of e-magazines or e-books is they present your company in a much easier method to tell your customers or clients about your products or clients in a method we all are use to using "reading"! We all learned about everything was reading about anything we wanted to know more about. Today's customers and clients often use Goggle or MSN to "find" any product, service or learn about. As you know this is a wonderful method to find products or services we want to purchase or use. The fee for this service is expensive for your company to pay for. The Great news is "FipHTML5" provides your company very inexpensive method to tell your company story in a method that is very effective to sell your products or services at a very affordable cost with out paying the website look up companies a very large fee. If you would like to know more about e-magazines please free to e-mail me at gaylonwhideside@live.com. I will be happy to tell more information about e-magazines have worked for many of my clients.

Cons

I do not have any challenges I have had with "FipHTML5" products or services. I have been a user for over five years and found their products and services are excellent. When I have had questions or concern about their services I e-mail them and always have an answer within a day. I have found they are very honest and tell me something they can or can not accomplish.

Reason for choosing FlipHTML5

Your price and services have been excellent and you have always responded to all e-mails very quickly! Yo have a wonderful company with many great people to help me accomplish my goals! Thanks Gaylon

March 29, 2023

Overall I have been using FlipHTML5 from 2015/6 and it have helped me create amazing digital booklets for clients and also internallly for staff.

Pros

How dedicated the team was to go above and beyond to fix a current issue I was facing with custom domain links. Shout out to Maxine!

Cons

Least thing for me is the time difference for support. Not at fault to anyone involved. I am on the other side of the world from the FLIPHMTL5 team.

Reason for choosing FlipHTML5

At first there was a free option. I used the free option so much but then wanted to trasition to the Enterprise version because of how much I loved the program.

June 13, 2023

During Covid, we had to bring our art exhibit online, and our viewers liked using these flipbooks so much, we have added them to our program along with the physical art exhibit. It's super easy to develop quickly, so we can move on to curated the gallery exhibit.

Pros

We have been super pleased with the user and developer ease of FLIPHTML5's Premium Plan. Since 2020, our visitors have been able to experience our art exhibits at home through the use of their flipbooks. We continue to be impressed by the beautiful aesthetic of this product and the helpful staff supporting it.

After extensive research and experimentation with various digital publishing tools, the Flip HTML5 platform stood out notably. Its intuitive interface, combined with a robust range of features, met my expectations exceptionally.

### "Captivate your target audience immediately with a flipbook creation"

July 20, 2020

5.0

We use this to create a variety of publications for digital publication-only clients, in addition to creating digital products for our own use to enhance our offerings, proposals and knowledge base articles to our clients.

Pros

FlipHTML5 is easy to use and an easy platform to gain maximum attention for your products, catalogues, presentations, and anything that could use a "WOW" factor. We create them for digital contracts, sales presentations, client "TO DO" lists for onboarding, digital cards for special occasions and cataloging networks to include pictures of equipment and projects before and after. You can create digital content for anything that you want, and stand out from your competition.

Cons

There is a lack of frequent updates to the available templates offered. It would be nice to see backgrounds and other options enhanced once or twice a year in system and dynamic scenes. Added colors and themes would make the customizing process less time consuming.

Reason for choosing FlipHTML5

FlipHTML5 was the most versatile and professional

FlipHTML5 - has been an amazing product for our organization, saving us thousands in printing cost and wasted paper. Our event program books look great in this product and so easy to share with our attendees, clients and volunteers. The best part is that it is so easy to use and upload our files, providing QR codes and links that work with a click. On the back end we can review the analytics and allow us to follow up and share. Great product and worth every penny! One more thing customer support is a 10!

### "Great way to share content"

July 24, 2020

5.0

Now that I solely use the online editor I love it. I do wish i could insert separate pdf files so that if i need to update just a page I can. Its a good thing i have Acrobate Pro so i can combine my pdf files into one before uploading otherwise this product would not work and i know for a fact that a lot of people do not have Acrobate Pro so i think the initial file upload should be changed to one where you can upload individual files that then get combined into the flipbook.

Pros

The ease of use on mobile device and how easily the flipbook can be shared.

Cons

The desktop version is awful so i suggest using online version all the way. The download process or initial setup was hard to understand. I think now in 2020 this should solely be used via the online editor and just ditch desktop versions because the desktop version is so outdated its not even worth it. So when i first started using this product i thought the desktop version was connect and the same as the online version and it took me a good week to fully understand that this was not the case so if i would have just been directed straight to the online editor or been given more clear understanding of online editor vs desktop then maybe it would have been more easy to understand. But yeah, getting started is very weird and unclear process.

Reason for choosing FlipHTML5

Pricing. The pricing was the best we could fine for what we needed.
