Pros

“My client owns a restaurant and he has several menus that he wants to show images for and he’s taking advantage of all the additional features like videos, forms, etc.”

Amy E.

“I've produced several large, complex PDF books that needed to be published interactively, in addition to printed and bound books.”

“Perhaps only that by default there is a program logo in every new flipbook, which I have to clear in the settings every time.”
MC

Graphic Designer

Cons

“I've been shocked by their lack of customer service, complete unreachability, and constantly rising subscription prices.”

“The paid plans can be a bit cost prohibitive if you have a limited number of designs to convert over the period of a year for example.”

“The support is non-existent. If you reach out all you get is bot replies.”
SA

Publisher

Cons

“When multiple flipbooks are posted to the same website, many of the supporting files are simply duplicated rather than put in a common folder.”

Jeff K.

“I don't need any Flash support anymore, for example.”
