I am so excited to be able to release my new book in the Paperturn format!
Besides the ease of uploading material, the bells and whistles that make your publication stand out are amazing. the pop-ups, the embedded videos, and all the other additions make a simple manuscript come alive.
I'm not sure 100% of the rules about using the pop-ups, etc. I need to fully understand that if I upload some pop-ups and later upload a new .pdf with additional pages, does that mess up the previous pop-ups, having to start over adding them back into the updated .pdf?
Hi Terry, We're thrilled to hear that Paperturn has brought your book idea to life :) Thank you for your great review! Warmest regards, The Paperturn.com Customer Support Team

Very easy to use. I only update the documents once or twice yearly but it is always easy enough to refamiliarise yourself with the admin area
Control centre / portal area where you can see and edit your publications easily
It would be nice to have a few additional features such as sound effects on the lower / mid level subscriptions

It as been an overall great experience for me to use Paperturn. It answers my needs.
I love using Paperturn to help my retailers purchase easily just clicking on images to add to their shopping carts. They don't have to use PO forms and product codes and can see faster what they need to buy form us.
I did not find anything that I did not like with Paperturn

The most useful feature for us is versioning. When we update a brochure, the link to the file remains the same so our customers who have been sent URLs in the past will always be presented with the most up to date materials. At the same time, we can also revert to a previous copy if there are issues with any of the content or products.
The interface for adding interactive elements is not particularly intuitive.

Great service and support from the online chat
I used this software to create a flip book brochure for our company, I liked how easy it was to use the, very straight forward to upload our PDF document and add in website links.
Creating the website links in terms of putting boxes over the links was quite tricky

Using Paperturn as our digital catalogue solution has been a dream. I've used the online support which has always been excellent and I've been so impressed with the regularity of updates and improvements which continually add to the product's excellent value for money.
It is so so easy to use and transformed our pdf catalogues at the touch of a button to make them so much more useful and interactive for our customers.
Nothing - it's all great. I can't think of a single thing to complain about!

We publish a bi-annual newsletter that needs maximum exposure for both our supporters and constituents. Paperturn provides that with easy-to-use, shareable features. When paired with our fundraising campaign, we are seeing a 10% growth rate with each issue!
For a one-stop shop communications and marketing department, Paperturn provides easy to use features, customization, links, social sharing -- along with the ability to embed flipbooks in our email marketing campaigns and landing pages.
We have been so pleased with this product, I honestly don't have suggestions for improvement.

Overall positive - but I need to move to the next level.
I really like the basic idea of being able to send a flip book to my customers. And they easy to modify as well. But I need to do advanced things at this point and am not sure if Paperturn is the right option. I am starting to look at other products - but before I do, I want to learn what additional features exist that I can use (like embedding a link to a youtube video).
No major concerns - please see comments above.
Hi John, Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you like the ease of use of our platform. Besides being able to transform your PDF into a flipbook, you can do a lot more with us: - embedd images, links and videos (from YouTube & Vimeo) into your flipbook - create your customized URL - create a lead capture form to collect data from your clients - insert a shopping cart directly...

Very positive, the support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was excellent and thorough.
The best part about this software is the ease of use, it's super simple to set up and navigate with no training required for any members of my team. The UI is very intuitive and self-explanatory, yet offers high quality results. We will be able to offer our clients premium publications at no great difficulty to the company.
I would like to be able to further categorise the flipbooks so that an entire library can be shared and stored.

We've received excellent feedback from our readers and we have seen a huge increase in our worldwide profile.
Paperturn provides a quality service for anyone looking to publish their magazines etc online. It's easy to set up and use, with very good customer support. We have recommended its use to other publications, and look forward to a longstanding working relationship with Paperturn. The requirement for easy-to-use online publications is likely to expand dramatically in the future and we are pleased to be one of the first of the football 'fanzine' family to join Paperturn.
Understanding the full range of options took a while to get to grips with, but the online videos were extremely helpful.

I have had great success in all aspects of procurement, set-up, customer service, and support.
I like the fact that you cqn use any program to create your PDF and then effortlessly upload that file and have it available for the masses.
If there is ever an auto-update feature that will let you make edits to the parent document and it automatically upload to the paperturn product, the software would be perfect.

It basically worked for me to have a digital brochure. Started working with a graphic artist and got frustrated with them as I was doing most of the work anyhow. So Paperturn met my needs.
The value you receive for the cost. It is one of those items that you set up and forget it. But this is one of those small items/tasks that can have a large impact for your organization.
Some features are limited and at times to change pictures and verbiage is time consuming.

It has been a very good experience so far (hassle-free).
The software is easy to set up and use. We like the professional-looking style that the software provides to our brochures. We find very useful the statistics feature. Another positive sign about Paperturn is that many of our customers normally asked about the platform we use for our brochures. We will definitely continue using Paperturn.
We find difficult to set up the CNAME. It is frustrating even though we have some decent knowledge of the technical side of things.

Customer service is awesome! The live chat option is very responsive and always extremely helpful.
First and foremost, we are a community newspaper publishing company. During the coronavirus pandemic we were forced to cease printing our newspaper for the first time in 16 years. Paperturn allowed us to stay in front of our readers and offer our advertisers an affordable option with a digital publication that looked and worked like our traditional print product. Yet, it offered a dynamic element that our subscribers and advertisers really enjoy. We are now printing again but our digital Paperturn product remains a staple and revenue stream. It integrates well to our online platform and we embed it right onto our website.
I love sharing stories via Paperturn through social media, but we can only afford 3 flipbooks right now. So after 3 weeks worth of publications the links no longer work.
Hi Lorne, Thank you for your review. It means a lot to us that we've been a help to you during the pandemic. We're glad that our platform could provide you and your readers with a digital publication that still resembled a traditional newspaper. Warmest regards, The Paperturn.com Customer Support Team
