Flipping Books
Pros
Love how we can put our catalogue on our website where our clients can use the catalogue as a real book - turning pages, going to a specific page number etc. It shows off our product range better than having to scroll through our website. You can even download the catalogue onto your computer, which is great. It is so easy to upload, all you need is your 'book' to be in pdf and you are all good to go.
Cons
Cant find any negatives about Flipping Book.

Great bit of software
It has allowed us to move away from print material and have catalogues, guides, brochures etc available as an online file which our customers can share or print should they wish.
Pros
I love how easy it is to create a nice looking online flipbook with just a few clicks. After spending hours if not days creating print-ready publications and having the individual PDFs ready to go its just a case of uploading the file and bang it's there ready to add links etc. The software is very simple to use and has given our company an extra wow factor that our competitors don't have.
Cons
It would be great to be able to overlay videos on to the flipbook or have some form of lightbox to show additional advertising of a product or service.
Reasons for choosing FlippingBook Online
FlippingBook was the only platform we looked at, as I had prior knowledge of the product from business contacts who used it already.

Response from FlippingBook
Hi Stephen! Thank you for your nice review and for choosing FlippingBook! Actually, you can add videos to your flipbooks as well as highlighted links that you can use for additional advertising. If it's not what you're looking for, please, don't hesitate to ask our support team - they're always here to help!

Top Notch Customer Service
Pros
[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was available via chat IMMEDIATELY and she helped me figure out my issue quickly and explained it simply THANK YOU!
Cons
Flash is outdated so not sure how it will work in the future

Response from FlippingBook
Hi Ford! We're sorry you had a negative experience with our product and glad that our support was able to help with whatever problem you encountered. However, we must notice that FlippingBook doesn't run on Flash - all the flipbooks you create with our software are HTML5 publications.

Changing the way you present!
Flippingbook has become a main stay for our materials recently and has helped with making sure that our materials are up to date and everyone involved has a link that is constantly being updated versus not having access to the current and most up to date material!
Pros
Presentations and sharing our marketing materials now has an extra cherry on top. By providing users our materials in Flippingbook format, they are more engaged, are able to share these links with others and in turn have saved us printing costs.
Cons
We do like the ability to turn off things like printing, sharing, etc, however a lot of these things are easy to crack (i.e. if you disable saving, you can still print and save as pdf to retain the information on the screen).
Reasons for choosing FlippingBook Online
Issuu is less robust than Flippingbook. In addition, Flippingbook is lightweight and makes it easy to upload files, customize your presentation, and sharing the links with ease!

Response from FlippingBook
Hi Christopher! Thank you for such a great review and for choosing FlippingBook! We'll continue making our product even better for you :)

Review
Great. Love the product!
Pros
Fast and easy to upload files. Great customer service
Cons
We would like to see the option for a two page spread that does not flip (ex. a two page menu.) Also, would love to have more skins or background options.

Easy to provide our remote team members with materials
We use FlippingBook to distribute marketing pieces of significant size to remote locations or to our sales team so they can share it with their prospects and customers. This makes it VERY easy for our team to turn materials around quickly and get it to the team rather than printing and sending through our relays or through the mail.
Pros
It makes it easy for us to present large marketing pieces to remote team members and for those team members to present these pieces to customers quickly and electronically.
Cons
Once in awhile I get stuck trying to tweak something and can't find the tool to do it. Just takes a bit longer but overall, I don't have any complaints about FlippingBook.

Great Tool For Our Sales Team
Overall I am very satisfied with FlippingBook. I reviewed a fair amount of options before choosing FlippingBook and this one was a good value with a lot of great features.
Pros
I like that we can easily convert our sales books into electronic books in a few minutes. I also like that you can send the book as an email with a nice template that shows a thumbnail of the image. Also, FlippingBook has stayed on top of keeping the software up-to-date and phasing out the old Flash versions.
Cons
I don't like that the books that get loaded to the cloud can be indexed by Google. I sometimes see our books getting picked up by search engines, and I wish there was a way to avoid that.

Response from FlippingBook
Hi! Thank you for your review and for choosing FlippingBook! You can turn off Google indexing in the settings. And it's turned off by default in all new publications.

Great tool for online catalogues
Great way to go digital, save trees and one of the best indexes I've ever seen!
Pros
Index and look-and-feel. Great corporate personalisation
Cons
Without analytics I can see the data in Google analytics but it's a mess!! and to pay 499 extra just to see those analytics is to much. Also the editable layer with links can be improved eg by a alignment tool for index pages. Sometime links are missing from InDesign and a part is created on a layer so we have double text.
Reasons for choosing FlippingBook Online
Look and feel, useability and adaptability

Hi David! Thank you for your review and suggestions! We're glad you're enjoying going digital with FlippingBook.

The ONLY digital publisher I could figure out
Excellent. Easy to use, never a problem.
Pros
I could figure out how to make it work. It is the easiest software available for changing a PDF file into a fun, digital flip book.
Cons
They don't have enough pricing plans. They need a mid-use plan.

Response from FlippingBook
Hi Sharon! Thank you for your awesome review! We've passed on your suggestion regarding pricing plans to the team.

Pros
Our books look great and include all of the features that our users expect and need.
Cons
The only problem we have encountered is compliance with screen readers. We have a unique set of criteria which has proven difficult to solve. Still hoping to work this one out with FlippingBook developers.

Limited in amount of files we can host with current plan.

Next Level
Pros
The greatest feature for us is the ability to send tracked links. This has been extremely helpful in letting us know if our documents are making an impact with the targeted user or not. FlippingBook was very easy to use and to customize. It also has taken our brochures to the next level. One client commented that it was the "coolest" packet he'd seen yet.
Cons
We haven't found any cons in our use of it yet.

FlippingBook: FlippingGreat
This is such a great tool for us in sharing our digital publications. We use it to share digital manuals and brochures with our team internally, and publish both embedded and linked PDFs on our website and social media to highlight our catalogue of services, and provide other value-additions to our customer base.
Pros
Ease of upload and changing uploaded PDFs - no new URL is required Interactive flip and page turn is such a great feature
Cons
If this is a required field and we are being asked to nitpick, I would say the basic account should allow more than 10 documents, say 15 or 20.

Response from FlippingBook
Hi Michael! Thank you for such a great review! We are glad that you have found a fitting solution in FlippingBook :)

Wonderful for Club Communications
Pros
We use FlippingBook for our monthly newsletter as well as some brochures. I like it for its ease of use, the fact that we can have has many high res photos as we want in our newsletter without worrying about size of the file, and I like how a document can be updated if a mistake is found and any links we've sent out will automatically connect to the corrected file.
Cons
When we have very large pdfs with lots of photos, it can take a while to upload, but really it is not that bad.

Extremely happy with FlippingBook!
Pros
Documents are professional in appearance. We are more likely to get our customers to read the necessary documents now as they are easy to access on their devices. Easy to use and the stats are most helpful. Great that we can customise our booklets/documents. Saving paper.
Cons
The product is quite pricey but you do get good service.
Reasons for choosing FlippingBook Online
I never looked at any other products. This was recommended and it looked very professional. The people were also very helpful and always available to us.

Solid tool for bringing physical catalogs into the digital.
Pros
For the price of entry this software is packed with easy to use features to get your publication going quickly. There are enough advanced features to really customize your publication to fit your needs.

None that we've encountered - this software does what it needs to do for us with little issue.

Easy to Use
Easy to set up, and simple and easy end-user experience!
Pros
It is easy to use, just upload your PDF and it finds the URLs for you! Just the right amount of customization. Not so many options that it is too overwhelming
Cons
I do wish w were allowed more document uploads in the first price tier, but the pricing is comparable to other programs and after some research, this was the best fit for us.
