Overall Decent Product for the Cost
The features I appreciate most are the ability to upload PDF's quickly, the ability to add links throughout the Flipbook quickly and easily.
CONSContacting support was a disappointment due to the lack of options to do so; the only way is to open a ticket through their website and wait for a response via email. This makes it difficult to resolve and/or learn anything in a timely manner. Furthermore, after a short time corresponding about a particular issue, the support team failed to respond. I was able to find the solution only by "clicking around", which was very time consuming and tedious. The users manual is the only way to search for answers and/or learning the program. It would be very helpful to have video tutorials available and organized by subject. Another disappointment is the lack of compatibility with WordPress. After many hours I was still not able to display a fully functioning Flipbook on my website. Support was unable to help resolve this issue, though they claim it is possible. Last but not least, it was very disappointing to find out that after purchasing the product you must spend $1 per Flipbook published even if you are simply revising an existing Flipbook. Our company uses Flipbook for a guide that is updated throughout the season, so we must spend $1 to publish after each update or choose to purchase unlimited updates monthly for $9.99

Powerful Software that Produces Stunning End-Products With Lots of Room for Improvement
The pros far outweigh the cons, and the cons that I detail are minor gripes in contrast to how pleased I am with the finished products I can crank out with this software. It's because I love the software as much as I do that I even harp on them, in the hopes that the devs will see these critiques and keep working at refining and improving the UI. As of now, I'd say it's very good... and though expensive... is worth the money. It could be amazing though... so here's hoping that they keep at it.
PROS-The monetization potential is through the roof. The ability to brand and customize your Flipbooks, while turning somewhat passe PDF's and Epubs into animated, interactive digital products that really feel like something you SHOULD be paying half to 2/3 the price of an actual book for makes this software worth its weight in gold. -The ability to make your ebooks into stunning presentations that can be fully integrated with other media make this software a really powerful tool for anyone more message-oriented as well. People wanting to educate the public and get info out there take note. This software offers the ability to make ebooks great again, and give people reasons to be excited about engaging with digital content. -The support team seems all-around responsive and eager to help with the occasional issues you'll encounter.
CONS-The software is glitchy at times, and aspects of the UI seem very dated in some areas. -Can be frustrating to use at times. While the UI is overall pretty solid, things are unresponsive on occasion, and when that happens it can be difficult to figure out how to correct the problem. -Navigating the software is occasionally confusing, and how to properly utilize some features is not explained very well.
Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus
I was (and still am) open to trying other variations of this software. But FlipPDF sold me on their dedication to actually providing a real piece of software that you can download, making me feel like the devs are here to stay and that the software in general will be more powerful than its cloud-based competitors.

Love it, but.....
Not really promoting the product as a valid option to sell because there are not enough security features to protect the sharing.
PROSLove the layout of the book & the sound effects.
CONSNot real easy to create, and anyone who gets the email link can open and read the book. So for an author it is frustrating because 1person could buy a copy and send that email to 100s of people. Maybe you should make an expiring link.

Good product, but could be far better.
We are publishing a newsletter online and wanted to recreate the turn-the-page experience for the reader. It is easy to view the pages, zoom, and makes a great swipe sound when the pages turn.
PROSThe process is simple from original PDF to output files. Once the files are created, I have to follow a few other steps to get the files to my website and test the final result.
CONSThere are many glitches in the way it works. Upon creating a new project, it immediately defaults to the last use folder/directory, and can easily over-write the files if one is not careful. I simply detest Flash in all it's buggy forms, but there does not seem to be a way to streamline the choices for HTML-5 only: I have to force that every time. Once the files are created and I am 'done' with the process, the only way back out of those screen is counter-intuitive: the user has to 'cancel' to get back to the former screen; there is no graceful close/save and return.
Reason for choosing Flip PDF Plus
Client-install, stable, local on my computer. Not web-based or forced to display banners of advertising for same product we had already chosen.
Reasons for switching to Flip PDF Plus
Prior service was online only with banners, advertisements and distracting hyperlinks for users. Honestly, it was just a trial of the free version on the page that gave us a proof of concept, then I went looking for a 'real' client based software package that would meet our needs.

Magnificent
With user experience, its actually quite friendly, i was skeptical because of where the software was coming from.... And i made a mistake in downloading the free version first. And when i made my purchase, I tried to put in the product registration key, and it didn't work....So i had anxiety, but once I uninstalled the free version, and downloaded the one in the link provided with the registration key, it worked....And our company sales has skyrocketed.
PROSOriginally, we was looking for better marketing materials. And digital marketing is the wave of the future, and for a small business, we was bootstrapping for cash flow.... Flip Pdf had no monthly subscription services, and the price was to good to be true....but we decided to give it a shot...and it was well over the value of the price we paid....
CONSThe only cons, is that i had to create a FTP server to get it to working....so if you are not tech savvy, its a learning curve.... On the other hand, if your customers are willing to accept executable files, and allow you to download the presentation onto thier computer....then there is other option for clients to view the digital pdf.
