Pros and cons

I love the output and being able to share a PDF in this type of format. I like that it can be placed and shared where it is non-downloadable.
I was literally up and running in 15 minutes. Easy to install, easy to use, perfect on the web, price is amazing for what you get.
Easy to install, easy to use, perfect on the web, price is amazing for what you get.
Contacting 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.
The Point System is confusing when uploading the books over each other online. If replaced I do not think a point should be deducted, only when another book is uploaded.
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.

FLIP PDF

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use the software to do presentations of books and pamphlets, it works and people like it. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Pros

I find it very easy to use, the software lets us customize the design of the background, the hyper links work. I have been using the software for over 10 years and I do not think I have ever called customer support.

Cons

I do not know if the software is ADA compliant; when I publish a flip pdf I have to put the real PDF next to it for ADA compliance is this feature available?

Very Expensive Product

Reviewed 3 years ago

I wish I would have saved my overall investment and purchased another software package. I can no longer use this software so it was a total waste of money.

Pros

I like that I was able to put together some cool flipbooks with this software. I was looking for something that was easy to use for online brochures and itineraries for group travel.

Cons

The software was pretty hard to figure how to use in the beginning. Once I got the hang of it, it seems that I was charged to create each book although the software itself was very expensive. I’m a small business owner and cannot afford to pay each time I create a book and use the link. In addition, why does the link expire months after you have purchased? I also wish there were better tutorials to show how to use the software and make professional looking books. I couldn’t figure out how to put more than one picture on per page.

My Flip Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

I was able to create an online program for my mother’s memorial. Since we could only have a few people, I wanted something that people could view online. I purchased the product in the hopes of being able to use it for my business but the experience was so horrible that I don’t think I will be able to use it as I intended.

Pros

The features that were useful: Being able to create and save a gallery, upload PDFs, edit verbiage

Cons

Least: Not user-friendly at all, hard to find editing features, purchased app was markedly different from the trial app. The templates were different, more plain. Not as interactive as the trial. I actually would want a refund but I am not sure if it is too late.

Flip PDF - Good but could be better

Reviewed 3 years ago

The experience was "OK" but this could be great software. I would suggest simplified menus/toolbars, with the most common selections up front. IE: Prominent Single Page View selection/button and Flipping support in all formats needed. Thank you for the reminderS to complete this review. I was slow, as my project was not yet completed.

Pros

Easy to set up and import PDF and Export/Publish into various formats. Lots of customizations. I had 2-3 popup errors but the software did not crash & I was able to access my project.

Cons

Fiddly menus to customize project - a bit confusing. Page Flipping not supported in all layouts AND single page view button is not on the main toolbar. It is called Flip PDF.....not Slide or Scroll PDF. Best I could do was to Zoom In thereby showing the SINGLE PAGE icon (in Zoom Floating Toolbar) & then I had Single Page + Slide. I settled. I really wanted Single Page View option + Flip feature -- in an easy-to-find and select method. (Had errors popup but the software did not crash & I didn't lose anything - as noted earlier.) The software is pricey.

Super easy to use, excellent customer service

Reviewed 3 years ago

Had an overall great experience

Pros

This is by far one of the most customizable interactive flip book software available. Easy to use and customer service is top notch.

Cons

The only con is the scope of anylitcal data available, it syncs with google analytics but does not provide (as if the writing of this review) reporting on clicks to individual links or images embedded in the book.

It has been a solid tool for us for years

Reviewed 2 years ago

I've used Flip PDF to show our product catalogs for several years now at our company, and our sister companies. It is very reliable and easy for our customers to figure out on their first time using it. I would definitely recommend!

Pros

Very professional looking, makes a large bulky PDF easier for a customer to review.

Cons

No complains from me I have been very impressed overall.

Best utility to convert boring pdf to rich html magazine

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have made so many brochures and magazines for my patients education and advertisement of my services, this software really help my dental practice grow.

Pros

It is so easy to use. Within few minutes my advertising brochure is ready from my pdf pamphlet. Output file is so rich and gives real feel of magazine reading experience with all those elegant animations

Cons

Software UI lags if pdf file has more graphical content and have over hundreds pages but that's understandable. So not any major complaint overall.

Use of Flip PDF as a Youblisher replacement

Reviewed 3 years ago

Replacement of Youblisher to make pdfs on a single website [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] more accessible.

Pros

Fairly straightforward to use and allows the published result to be stored on the website, future-proofing it. This is quite different to Youblisher, which was solely cloud based and when they went out of business the website was impacted.

Cons

I could not get it to work on an old laptop used for most of the website design, so have to dedicate a different laptop as my Flip PDF generator. Regarding branding, I am unsure if the software is Flip PDF or Flip Builder, because the customer sees Flip Builder.

Point System

Reviewed 3 years ago

The benefit of using Flip PDF is the small amount of work on our end for a very amazing final product digital flipbook!

Pros

The software is easy to use and makes the pdf like our Graduation program and our viewbook looks nice and interactive in a digital format. Especially now that we are in quarantine and are still needing to get content and information out to prospective and current students in a cool way!

Cons

The Point System is confusing when uploading the books over each other online. If replaced I do not think a point should be deducted, only when another book is uploaded. Tends to save old data and not replace the book until another is selected and the original is reselected.

Flip PDF Took our Catalogues from Print to Online

Reviewed 3 years ago

We wanted a way to send our product catalogues to dealers in a professional way, versus scrolling through a .PDF. Flip PDF offered us a way to accomplish our goal. Bonus: Anyone who receives our online catalogue is impressed with the product.

Pros

Very easy to use, and the final product looks very professional. The result is fantatsic!

Cons

A little confusing where the final product is saved and how to access and share the catalogues once they were saved.

Inexpensive in comparison to competitors yet better quality and easier to use.

Cons

It takes a little bit of time to get used to - though easy after a couple of books.

Bad documentation/mediocre customer support

Reviewed 3 years ago

My first contact with customer support was prompt, but their answer did not fix my problem and then I have had no reply to my follow-up question.

Pros

It has some nice features. Average ease of use.

Cons

Only way to link to the flip book is to have it on their server. Can't get a dropbox link to work. Documentation is sometimes not readable--either it was written in Chinese and then translated or the person writing had little knowledge of English.

Product looks nice, but does not work

Reviewed 3 years ago

I made a beautiful flip book with this product, but was unable to upload it to my website. I reached out to the company for help and they were responsive. However, once it became clear that the product was not going to work, they became unresponsive and did not give me a refund. I changed to a different product and was able to post my flipbook within 24 hours.

Pros

It looks nice and has an easy-to-use interface

Cons

It does not work and, as a result, is a waste of time and money.
