Starting to love it, as I get more accomplished at using it. This is definitely love growing with time!
Once you get to understand how it works it becomes a powerful and highly professional tool that produces great-looking results even in the hands of an old-timer like me! I have now produced three FlipBooks that give my patients information on body mechanics, food and diet, and breathing. The Body Connection, The Food Connection, and The Breath Connection.
If you try to do something the program doesn't like it can become a bit of a battle! That's not the fault of the software, it's the user being too lazy to learn how to use it!

I am now the author of a small e-book that I'm using as a lead magnet to get clients for my business. I love the way it sets into my brand colors lifting from my website post. It is as if the software understood me and my preference! I totally loved it. You should definitely buy this product. It is worth every penny spent!
The ease of usage is one thing that caught my eyes. I loved how I could edit globally and individually without having to go technical about it. It does my work in a couple of minutes and what more could I ask for. It is giving me the time to rejoice and enjoy my time with my loved ones
Nothing of that sort until now. That is the best part of it, isn't it?

I've never had a problem with writing content for ebooks - but publishing them? Now that's a different matter! This has made a whole lot easier.
I was up and running very quickly. It was very intuitive and the learning videos have been great.
I'm sure there are cons - but I haven't found them yet.

Excellent experience, I highly recommend it to everyone, especially novices like myself.
Ease of every step in creating a book. The programs made it effortless.
I had to export the content to a different website for proofing the grammar, spelling and style. It would be nice to have that integrated into Designrr.

We operate a technical blog that currently contains over 100 published posts and almost 200 posts in a draft stage. All of these blog posts are created directly on our website. Therefore, we do not have them as text files. However, many readers ask for a pdf copy of one or the other article. Designrr really helped us to solve this issue. We can create a copy of the published article within few minutes. Moreover, we can select from tons of templates. All of this completely effortless. Designrr saves us plenty of time and resources.
The software is so easy-to-use and intuitive. You don't need any coding skills. Still, you have a full control over your document.
I have not come across any issues so far.

Designrr is slow to respond. Essentially, they ensure that you surpass their 14-day "free trial" in order to ensure they keep your money. Once I opened the product I realized that projects can only be hosted on their site and are not available for download. The product is not unique and I realized it's a reduced version of Adobe Captivate which is a much better product and can be downloaded without issues. I no longer consider Designrr trustworthy as they've refused to return my payment. They have agreed to not auto-renew against my corporate card and we'll just have to see. Total money grab and not worth the investment.
In the demo it appeared the product is simple to use and user friendly. Buyer Beware.
14-day free trial and no money back option beyond that

I am designing bite sized books for sale at my website. The software taught me that I need not be a professional designer to do that, but using the software well I could make those books look professionally done. When it comes to designing - I am like two left foot - but Designrr helped me a lot. Thank you, guys!
If you are one who is technically adverse but need a book designer app - this is the one. If someone like me can actually produce a book - a flip book that is, then it must be a very easy to use software. So, go ahead and purchase it, you will have no regrets!
Haven't thought of any yet. Can I not just leave this column blank?

It was really quite speedy to get an ebook from a text document to a fully formatted lovely text.
Some of the design features are not intuitive. It doesn't seem to be able to split across paragraphs on different pages. I would LOVE to see a template for a journal or workbook (complete with ability to put in lines for writing). This would make creating journals/workbooks to accompany virtual learning much easier and more uniform.

Super quick and easy to work with. I just saw the video once and I totally got the nail.
Affordable based on our needs. I received many requests from my costumers to make a flipbook version of our Catalog, instead of printed versions or just PDF version. We research and I found that this software is excelent to fit our once a year need of this software. Thank you.
The superbasic version of software we have. Of course it fulfill our needs but what if we would like to start experimenting new design options? Can we try temporarily, more features of upgraded versions, so to consider upgrading definitely?

Designrr is allowing me to finally be able to take some of my writings and information and easily put together as a book. I can now offer these books to my clients, for their reading pleasure. Have already recommended the program to a colleague.
I loved the ability to be able to use the videos to assist me in setting things up, as well as using the software. Having the connection to help if I needed it was also very useful.
It took some getting used to how to use it, but once I learned the software, putting my book together became easier and made the e-book look so professionally created.

This is a community organization that changes it's officers annually. I believe we can easily train the next gen of officers to keep using Designrr and implementing the unique monthly newsletter format developed by the officer team.
Our Toastmasters' team jumped into video and newsletters without abandon. We started with MailChimp but discovered Designrr after the first edition. The quality of our digital content jump 100% by adding a professional look and design. I did it in a day! We are excited to try out the flipbook feature next.
It did take a bit of trial and error to figure out the right sequence, but that is due to using so many other tools first. When I got the rythym right, the designrr music sang loudly and smoothly.

I have several books to get on the market and Designrr has made this a much easier transition. I'm very happy!
I am an author; not a publisher, but since the industry is forcing us to be both a platform like Designrr is a must. Well, is there another that compares? Probably not. I am basically getting started, but so far I'm a huge fan. In the past I've tried other software products, but there were always many challenges. This time I'm relieved! Thanks so much.
So far I have no cons. I'm still exploring, but creating a design has not been challenging.

I really like it. It's daunting to have to design an ebook after writing the actual words, so I like that this makes it a LOT easier. I will be writing more ebooks with this software.
I love that you can import from Google docs right to the ebook format. That makes things super convenient. I like that it publishes right to Kindle as well. It's pretty easy to format things and move around.
Sometimes when you move sections up or down, it moves other sections too far. I'm pretty new to the software, so it may just be getting used to it.

I have been looking for something like this for a while. I am just a wannabe writer, but I believe it can also help me when translating. I sent the suggestion to my old boss. He is a writer and it might be of interest to him.
I really love the ease of use. It is one of the most valuable tools for writers or aspiring writers I have ever found.
I believe the tool, though valuable, is not that user friendly. Maybe a little update is suggested to make the editing more of a breeze. Maybe some improvement for a small fee might be an improvement.

Love it. Doesn't take more than 30 minutes to start using it like a PRO. Easy to use and really affordable.
I like how easy it is to convert an e-book into a flipbook which looks so much more premium and good for the branding and the LTD it is offering.
It can be hard for people to click on the link I embedded in the ebook when it's given out in flipbook format.

Very easy to use, good value, and further applications I thought of using it for....
I love so much the way you can convert a PDF file into a flipbook. I personally use Microsoft Publisher to create my product, then save it as a PDF and import it into Designrr. Brilliant! You just select New Project, Import from PDF ( Book Icon ) That's It, job done! :-)
I haven't found any drawbacks so far. For me, it does exactly what I wanted it to do, and for a one-off payment, so I'm very pleased - Thanks.

I am opening a youtube channel in which I have complex technical material to promote. I decided that data and information-packed e-books with short promotional videos were a better option than long hard-to-adsorb videos to explain my material. Even the standard DESIGNRR package had what I needed and now I am upgrading to PRO
Easy transference from my existing technical articles, I use a lot of illustrations and quotes and DESIGNRR has the format to insert them fast!
Sometimes it takes a long time for options to pop up when hovering the cursor over a heading.

I help women overcome the effects of life's hard bumps so they can "Thrive While Alive." Designrr has a wide range of templates available to create eye-catching pdfs. Such a time saver and I am proud to share them.
Has proven to be easy to use and a great time saver. Simple to upload files to create pdfs or flipbooks The help center is wonderful in explaining how to use the features Image upload is simple to use and a great feature to include logos and desired images.
