Pros

  • Thanks to the many functions I am able to bring my customers to great success and for me it is a whole world.

  • It's excellent, stable software. I've been using it for probably 15 years + and am impressed with the improvements over the period.

  • The design is clean and works great across our corporate platforms. I find this programme the most streamlined out of similar programmes, and would recommend it highly.

  • This is an excellent product and it is very easy to learn how to use with very good almost instant support when needed.

Cons

  • Limited space, no manipulation of content once uploaded.

  • Some of the interface felt a little outdated. It can take some time to refresh documents online, when files are large (I realize that could be a problem with our own internet access).

  • There is nothing I dislike about the programme but there are some technical issues was have where I think the app could be a little more flexible, but minor problems really.

  • A lot of our customers had issues reading PDFs and when we displayed them on our website they looked ugly.

"User-friendly, great price, and reliable for digital animated page flipping publications!"

Overall: We are constantly asked to find ways to bring our outsourcing costs down, yet maintain the same quality of work. Flippingbook Publisher replaces the need to spend many thousands of dollars with a boutique media studio. Our designer also saves hundreds of hours in work. amazing time saver.

Pros: An entire team of non-designers can create professional interactive digital magazines and publications. We were able to create impressive online versions of our content in half the time it would take to outsources it. We especially love how videos and popup images can be embedded easily into the pages.

Cons: Wish we could embed directly on the pages - our own media stored on our company servers. (Instead of YouTube or Vimeo)

Reasons for Choosing FlippingBook Publisher: We felt more comfortable using a domestic company that could support us locally.
Switched From: Issuu
Reasons for Switching to FlippingBook Publisher: We need a lot of customization, as well as the ability to publish to our own servers.

"Our main tool for our publications"

Pros: Being a government body for designing and publishing from leaflets to books, FBP helps us give the "paper feeling" to our online audience. Easy of use is the main characteristic.

Cons: Pricing for the cloud storage uploading could be a bit cheaper.

Alternatives Considered: AnyFlip
Reasons for Choosing FlippingBook Publisher: Already used FBP it and we were happy with it

"Very good program, but have gotten to expensive over time wtih less features."

Overall: We use it for product catalogues, and monthly newspaper, and also for special offers. And for this it is very good. But we have just cancelled our subscription because it simply just got to expensive now.

Pros: It's easy to use, and you can use it offline. Also the option to make each book personal, or fit the design lines you have on your page

Cons: Missing the e-shop solution you had and was going to evolve, but got removed instead. and the limitation of how many publications we could have online at the time.(I know we could upgrade, but we all ready think the price is to high now). 4 updates a year is not enough, with how the web is developing at the moment. and last year I don't even think we got 4, and that also make it to expensive in our opinion, sorry.

Reasons for Choosing FlippingBook Publisher: At the time (many years ago), it was the best and easiest to use at the time.

"Flipping book used by a technical magazine for active subscribers"

Overall: My overall experience is how easy it was to first start the process. I had my first flipbook published within a couple of hours. Learning curve is short, except for the finer details. Since I am like all the others in this world and so busy, I wish I could read more very short emails with explanations of upgrades instead of having all the details in one place or email. I am sure there are things you have added that I an not taking advantage of.

Pros: You can import the pdf of the entire printed magazine into flipbook and it will export the same PDF file into HTML5 format. Could not be any easier. The flipping book system can export and upload to my own website for integration and viewing by my personal subscribers. Plus I can save the table of contents from previous editions and apply to the current edition. I only have to make a few changes to content titles for the newest edition.

Cons: My website has restrictions on who can view the magazine via a password system or active user. So I have to turn off Print and Save options in the flipbook software. I do not want my users to be able to print or save the entire edition, but would love to be able to print a single page. It was also very hard to figure out the page numbering when you have a few beginning pages that are not numbered. The offset takes care of this, but was difficult to figure this out.

Reasons for Choosing FlippingBook Publisher: I remember choosing FlippingBook over others for the price and another of my peers was using the software at that time. I figured if he was using it, it must be good.
