### "Good alternative to Issuu - I can recommend"
May 6, 2024
4.0
Pros
It is very similar to Issuu, without the expensive price plan, lousy customer service and changing terms and conditions, where Issuu has disappointed me with in the last year.
Cons
Uploading files take a bit longer than Issuu, if I have to name a disadvantage. Which is not very big for me.

[Issuu](https://www.capterra.com/p/212526/Issuu/)
I was disappointed in the service of Issuu. Issuu changed the terms and conditions of their product during my subscription. Also, their customer service is very vague. And, I just think Issuu is expensive for what you get. FlipHTML5 is basically the same service as Issuu, but than WAY cheaper.

### "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.
Switched from
[Issuu](https://www.capterra.com/p/212526/Issuu/)
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.

### "Neat platform to display your hard work in virtual book format"
June 23, 2026
5.0
Thus far, I have had a very positive experience with the platform. It works just as planned. Everyone from staff to our audience loves the convenience of having our program on their phones and tablets.
Pros
I am using this software to house our program for a large LA County event. I looked everywhere for something that would be fun for our audience and staff, and found FlipHTML5. We all love how fun it is to use and how beautifully it works on our cell phones.
Cons
So far I haven't found anything I don't like. It's a cool platform! I like all the tools and ability to customoze.

### "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

### "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.

Very satisfying and problem-solving; no delays in getting back and endless patience to solve the issues!
Pros
Their tremendous drive to solve my problem thoroughly. They know what they are talking about and feel your frustration when things work as expected. They just don't give up until the customer is well and truly satisfied with what they have on offer ... Well done, Support Team!!
Cons
Their very experienced and knowledgable support desk staff, go a long way in offering solutions to the problem that they are presented with!

### "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.

Too early to tell as have only uploaded a few PDFs for conversion to flipbook.

### "It is good quality and can be used inexpensively. great."
January 12, 2024
5.0
I work at a newspaper. Last July, I was given an assignment by my boss to find out how to create an e-book for news production. At first, I looked into outsourcing companies. However, the cost per year was as much as 20 million won ($15,217.23). However, I found out that this service is only 1/20th of the cost of an outsourcing company. Although you have to create the e-book yourself, I liked it because it was so easy and simple that even beginners could use it. The company also praised us for significantly reducing costs. Thank you very much.
Pros
It is good quality and can be used inexpensively. great. I was thinking of outsourcing the e-book production, but I ended up making it myself using that service. It's great that even beginners can use it easily and inexpensively with good quality. I recommend it.
Cons
not at all. I'm worried that other people will know about this great service. lol

### "Fliphtml5 leaves nothing to be desired."
June 6, 2023
5.0
Fliphtml5 meets all my expectations of an application for creating online books. Besides the possibility to create impressive layouts, Fliphtml5 offers the possibility to publish the books on your own server or to download them as an App for Windows and Mac. Readers can add their own notes and bookmarks. Depending on the configuration you choose, the books can be downloaded or printed. The content can be enhanced with links and videos. From my point of view, fliphtml5 leaves nothing to be desired.
Pros

### "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.
