It’s exactly what I need to accomplish my goal. It’s easy to edit it’s easy to use and doesn’t break the bank. Pros This product is exactly what we need. It gives us the ability to turn our newsletter into a fabulous looking flipbook in minutes. Cons The only thing that I don’t love is that I have to save the files locally and have our web team host The file. Which is not even a big deal. Aside from that everything else is great Alternatives considered [Adobe Express](https://www.capterra.com/p/174232/adobe-express/) Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher Couldn’t even compete Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for your review and for choosing FlippingBook, Dunya! MK Mike K. Project Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User-friendly, great price, and reliable for digital animated page flipping publications!" March 29, 2022 5.0 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) Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher We felt more comfortable using a domestic company that could support us locally. Switched from [Issuu](https://www.capterra.com/p/212526/Issuu/) We need a lot of customization, as well as the ability to publish to our own servers. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Hello Mike! Thank you for such a great review and for choosing FlippingBook! TV Thomas V. Marketing Coordinator Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good program, but have gotten to expensive over time wtih less features." March 30, 2022 3.0 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. Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher At the time (many years ago), it was the best and easiest to use at the time. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for your honest feedback, Thomas! We're very sorry to see you go! IS Ioannis S. Press officer Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our main tool for our publications" March 30, 2022 5.0 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](https://www.capterra.com/p/210554/AnyFlip/) Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher Already used FBP it and we were happy with it Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for your feedback and for choosing FlippingBook, Ioannis! LD Lorenzo D. Graphic Designer Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and high quality and affordable product." April 5, 2022 5.0 FlippingBook Publisher has been a very good help getting digital brochures to the customer more easily and connect it to our webshop, via call to actions inside the digital brochure. Also replacing a page with an error is super easy to do and the shared link won't change, so the end users won't notice it at all. Pros What I like most about FlippingBook Publisher is the easy of use and the features that come with the product. It's very easy to make a custom template and make it match your company's look and feel. Also the option to securely share a publication via password and domain control is a very nice feature. Cons At this moment in time I don't miss any features. And there are no negative points for me while using FlippingBook Publisher. Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher FlippingBook Publisher was simply the best and most affordable out there. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 6, 2022 Thank you for your feedback, Lorenzo! We're glad FlippingBook has been a good match for your digital brochures! YQ Yossi Q. manager Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "could not ask better - amazing software - and more - amazing service - together it make my work " April 4, 2022 5.0 The software and service are a shared experience. I produce a lot of publications, each with its own uniqueness, thanks to the software I manage to get the best Thanks to the many functions I am able to bring my customers to great success and for me it is a whole world I started my business as a person with a disability - I am hard of hearing and more trouble and thanks to this software and all around I was able to build a perfect business based on this software and thanks to it many ways were opened up to me. I must say that I have a wonderful connection with all the people in the company - my every request is answered wholeheartedly and says wholeheartedly - I could not ask for better from this Pros easy use - alot of options - and gr8 servers i host the publication - all is gr8 and most of it is the service when i have problems most cause of problematic files and all - i get solutions for - and some times no - they are honest to say - this canot be done - all explind and all work perfect Cons it is like to ask - who you love more - mother or daddy i love all as pack all is gr8 - some i use more some i use less but i make all i need and many things i make after support stuff teached me how to do it Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for such a great review, Yossi, and for staying with FlippingBook! Joan S. Technical Director Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FlippingBook Publisher provide for the best looking experience" March 31, 2022 4.0 Pros After the demise of Flash, most Flipbook software moved to just "use pictures". That is either slow for the user, or bad-quality. FlippingBook publisher, instead, chose to "go SVG" and provide vector-text. So, you can use any font you want (which is converted to SVG elements), and what you look on the screen looks as good as you would read it in a PDF. Cons Speed needs some improvement. Some things (such as sending a FlippingBook via FTP to the server) could be done in parallel and/or batch mode, and permit the user to continue producing yet another FlipBook. Some features would be liked: an easy way to get a list of links (and where they are), and some way to ease the handling of Table of Contents (depending on how your original PDFs are, it's easy to not get it right). Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher Overall features and price fitted better our needs. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Hello Joan! Thank you for your feedback and for choosing FlippingBook! You can actually use FlippingBook Automation for batch conversion: https://flippingbook.com/automation Contact our support if you'd like to learn more about it! DR David R. Digital Content Co-Ordinator E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FlippingBook for E-Learning" March 29, 2022 5.0 FlippingBook Publisher allows our University to enhance our student experience when it comes to viewing our study materials in a professional and engaging way. Pros I now have a very productive workflow for creating interactive study guides to students all over the world. From importing a pdf to having an interactive workbook in Moodle as a very easy process. The tools for embedding these documents in various ways via HTML5 into an LMS gives me lots of options in terms of presenting our materials and they look great as well. Cons 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. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for such a great review, David! If you have any questions, suggestions, or requests, you can contact our support - we're always happy to listen! JH Jeanine H. Marketing Specialist Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, customizable solution" March 29, 2022 4.0 We've switched to self-hosting our FlippingBook catalog on our website. It's integrated right into the site search with a subdomain URL getting us valuable keyword and link associations. We did like the easier baseline analytics and the little survey option when opening the document (used to determine who/user type was utilizing our catalog). Pros We started hosting our catalog on FlippingBook and it was quite easy to integrate our InDesign/PDF files into the software. The ability to fix a few broken links (inherent when transferring applications) and reload a page is very helpful so you don't have to start over with a new import each time. Cons We would like to see more options on the logo size - placement options are nice, but don't like how our logo auto sizes to be partially covered by an open book. Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher more functionality, easier to user, customizable options and similar price range Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 1, 2022 Hello Jeanine! Thank you for your feedback and for choosing FlippingBook for your catalog! AH Andee H. Owner & President Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Integral Part of External Communication w Clients and Ease of Use, Internally" April 4, 2022 5.0 Excellent customer service. Timely and personal. Pros Flipping Book Publisher is useful for our construction company's purposes. We can share large files with our clients in a single, elegant eBook with a Table of Contents using a simple link for ease of use. Clients have the option of downloading the entire eBook as a pdf. Our field managers can access large files of information quickly from an ipad, which prevents the need for printing documents for use outside the office. Using Google Analytics allows us to keep track of how often a particular eBook gets opened and gives a general location of the user, which has been very helpful. Cons I always have concerns about the security of information, just as I have concerns about any cloud-based storage or server company. Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher At the time, the professional offering provided more features for what we were seeking. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Hi Andee! Thank you for your review and for choosing FlippingBook for your digital documents! JW John W. Anesthesiologist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flipping book customer for over 5 years" April 4, 2022 5.0 Pros I liked the importation and customization; the newer features make it more interactive. Cons Price is definitely high, and no mac version Alternatives considered [FlipHTML5](https://www.capterra.com/p/202617/FlipHTML5/) Switched from [Flip PDF Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/134910/Flip-PDF/) Better product Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 14, 2022 Hi John!

Publisher Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Digital Edition hosting and publishing" March 29, 2022 4.0 Used it for hosted solution for retail customer magazine. Recently moved to cloud hosting with FlippingBook. Pros User friendly. Good interface. Appreciate the continued support/development. Cons More customization of bookshelf feature.

Please, don't hesitate to contact us and tell us what particular bookshelf customization you'd love to see in future updates! HK Helen K. Operations Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product " March 29, 2022 5.0 This is an excellent product and it is very easy to learn how to use with very good almost instant support when needed Pros This is an excellent way to update critical information for our clients without having to resend multiple new versions when information changes Cons If the pages in your document change and you need to blend multiple PDFs it is fiddly but this is more of a PDF/Adobe issue than a FB issue Review Source Response from FlippingBook March 31, 2022 Thank you for your kind words, Helen! JT Jonathan T. Executive Editor Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simplicity itself" March 29, 2022 5.0 We have been using FlippingBook Publisher for over ten years and the results are consistently reliable Pros Makes converting PDFs into virtual magazines and brochures a doddle. Apart from the need to replace the FlippingBook logo with your own logo, there really isn't much to do other than drag and drop your PDF onto the programme and watch it whizz through the pages. And when you consider that you don't have to update the software every year, it is excellent value. Cons None. This is a really good tool for turning PDFs into interactive publications for use online , but you will also need a great designer and excellent software for making the PDF. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 1, 2022 Hello Jonathan! Thank you for such a great review and for staying with us for more than 10 years! GG Grace G. Senior Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice product" March 29, 2022 4.0 Content that shared with others are more accurate and detailed because of the interactive element. People are more willing to spend more time reviewing the material when it's interactive. Pros Turn a boring pdf into interactive content. Sharing it by just the URL, don't have to attach any large files in email. And it also has tracking capabilities. Cons The name of the products. They offer a few different types of solutions but the names are very similar. I still don't know what I am using and purchased. =\\ Review Source Response from FlippingBook March 31, 2022 Hello Grace! Thank you for your feedback! We're glad FlippingBook helps you make your digital documents more interactive and eye-catching! SV Shay V. IT Manager Newspapers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "easy" April 11, 2022 5.0 Pros easy to use flexible simple friendly!!

DC Daniel C. Marketing Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FlippingBook Publisher" April 11, 2022 5.0 Pros Ease of use. Quick customer service. Flexibility of FlippingBook staff. Cons Animations can sometimes be a little slow. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 13, 2022 Hello Daniel!

Administration and Marketing Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Value and Efficiency Plus" April 7, 2022 5.0 Have not found a better option. Pros The product is extremely cost-effective for our purposes. Allows us to provide a publication to our audience free of charge. Cons Limited space, no manipulation of content once uploaded. Reason for choosing FlippingBook Publisher Value for money, ease of use. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 11, 2022 Thank you for your feedback, Fiona, and for choosing FlippingBook! CK Christel K. Manager, Digital Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product " April 4, 2022 5.0 Love it. It does what it’s supposed to do. Pros It does what it’s supposed to do. It’s reliable. Cons The user interface needs to be simpler and more easily administered by even an inexperienced person. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Thank you for your feedback, Christel, and for choosing FlippingBook! WD Wendy D. Multimedia Technologist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and Easy to Use" March 29, 2022 5.0 Quick easy and compact Pros Primarily used for converting PDF.. very simple and easy to accomplish this task. Cons I wish there was a greater variety in the template options Review Source Response from FlippingBook March 31, 2022 Thank you for your review and your request, Wendy! We'll pass it on to our developers! PD Paula D. Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Product" March 29, 2022 4.0 Good experience!

Thank you for your review and for choosing FlippingBook for your magazine! VR Verified Reviewer Co-fundador Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Herramienta Versátil y Personalizable para Crear Catálogos Interactivos y Atractivos" April 19, 2023 5.0 Es una herramienta completa y personalizable para crear catálogos digitales interactivos y atractivos, con funciones avanzadas de diseño, gestión de contenidos y análisis, lo que la convierte en una opción a considerar para cualquier empresa, editor y profesionales de marketing que buscan una solución eficiente y de calidad para su publicación digital. En lo personal me ha servido para crear catálogos profesionales y atractivos para mis clientes. Pros Lo que más me gusta de FlippingBook Publisher es que me ofrece una amplia variedad de opciones de diseño y maquetación para crear catálogos digitales con apariencia profesional y atractiva además de personalizar completamente el aspecto y la funcionalidad de los catálogos, incluyendo colores, fuentes, imágenes de fondo, animaciones, enlaces y más, lo que permite adaptarlos a la identidad de marca y necesidades específicas. Cons De las muchas ventajas que posee FlippingBook Publisher es la dependencia de la conexión a Internet, debido a que es una herramienta basada en la nube, lo que significa que se necesita una conexión a Internet para acceder a la plataforma y utilizar sus funciones. Esto podría representar un inconveniente para aquellos que necesitan trabajar en sus catálogos sin conexión o en áreas con acceso limitado a Internet. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 21, 2023 Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We're glad FlippingBook helps you create interactive digital catalogs for your clients. SD Susan D. Owner Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flipping book used by a technical magazine for active subscribers" April 7, 2022 5.0 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. Reason 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. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 11, 2022 Thank you for your feedback, Susan, and for choosing FlippingBook! BS Ben S. Marketing Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing Product! Amazing Price!" March 29, 2022 5.0 FlippingBook is a life changer. Pre-FlippingBook we were struggling with organizing our catalogs and instruction manuals and finding a good way to get them in the hands of our customers. A lot of our customers had issues reading PDFs and when we displayed them on our website they looked ugly. FlippingBook galleries are super easy for our customers to find things and provide a high-quality reading environment. Pros FlippingBook is easy to upload and organize new documents. Our customers love how easy it is to browse our documents and read them. The price is very affordable. Cons I have tried so hard to find something not to like about FlippingBook but have yet to find anything. FlippingBook is just a great product all around. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 1, 2022 Hi Ben! Thank you for such a fantastic review and for choosing FlippingBook! KD Kathryn D. Graphic Design Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FlippingBook Publisher - Simple and effective tool for publishing digital documents " March 29, 2022 4.0 Overall experience is good. I probably don't use it as much or as consistently as others, but I work in Public Involvement and getting information out in an easy way while providing a good experience is something that FBP helps me accomplish. Pros The features I like most are; quick set up/importing and publishing, sharing via simple link, the variety of options for embedding in websites, options for adding video into a document, and the end user experience is better than sending basic pdf or dealing with how pdf reading experiences can differ between browsers. I also like that it has evolved as a product over the years in a way that I can count on it keeping up with new technology and trends - such as considering accessibility. Cons I wish there was more of user community or forum to share ideas and find answers quickly. Better loading screen customizing (title size, subtitling, line breaks) would be nice. Popups or tooltips with editable text as an interactive feature in pages would be great. Review Source Response from FlippingBook April 5, 2022 Hello Kathryn! Thank you for your feedback!
