FlippingBook Pros and Cons

FlippingBook is a very unique, yet familiar user experience. It is easy for the user to navigate between pages using the interactive Table of Contents, and embedded content (such as videos), and it's different from other learning assets, making it very memorable.

It's also great to see the stats and analytics to track which of our offerings are the best performing by view count, pages where users spent the most or least amount of time, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The major growth opportunity would be for FlippingBook to offer in-app authoring of pages. Currently, my team creates PDFs using other software, then we upload to FlippingBook and add interactivity.

Secondly, my team had to find workarounds for including video assets as FlippingBook currently only allows for YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia, though I saw a notice that there is a planned enhancement that allows users to embed mp4 videos into their books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flipping book with the table of contents makes it very easy to find what you are looking for and with the ability to link to websites and content external to the book is another great feature. Finally, what I like the best is that when I make updates and revivisions to my original file and upload the updated PDF, every person I previously sent the link to, has access to the updated content. No more outdated materails or worrying that someone is looking at old content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the table of contents can be cumbersome to create, but I'm not sure if that's me or the functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is instant and really, really helpful. I publish an independent, non-profit architectural magazine, small run, and rely on a flipook for each issue on our website. We don't fit the big sell, marketting, product-shifting profile that other flipbook creators are increasing geared and priced for. We are selling content, not product, a concept seemingly incomprehensible to US/Silicon Valley. I've left my old provider of flipbooks for FlippingBooks and feel a great relief. The price point is better for us. The support is better. The learning curve is easier and quicker. The fit between what FlippingBook offers and what I need is better.

I'm not a developer, just a user and so far have done just the basic flip book shift from one code block to another. I'll re-review after a few months, but so far FlippingBook is a terrific product and company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

don't know yet, 2 months in haven't found any downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in marketing, and in our company, we are trying to make our customers more digital, specifically by replacing printed catalogs with digital ones. Flippingbook includes everything we need, plus it offers a user-friendly administrative environment. I also appreciate that they take care of it, release new features, and improve performance. Compared to a customer opening a plain PDF versus browsing through a digital flipping book, the difference is enormous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been creating catalogs in FlippingBook for three years now, and I haven't had any problems so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am pleased to report that the FlippingBook platform has been 100% dependable in my experience.

At my company, we create 1 main flipbook per year, and then make regionalized duplicates in other languages. We upload the US PDF, add the interactive elements, and then make a copy and swap the regionalized PDF in its place. The interactive elements remain in place during the swap, so I don't have to rebuild them for each version. I love that feature and I have never had the process fail even once.

I also appreciate that FlippingBook accurately integrates the many hyperlinks that our PDFs contain, so I don't have to add them manually. I also appreciate the privacy controls that make it possible to gate the flipbook behind contact forms.

FlippingBook customer serivce is awesome. They have always been very fast to respond and have quickly been able to answer my questions.

I also apprecitate the analytics that are included in our subscription. It helps us know which topics to focus on by showing us which flipbooks get the most views, which pages are viewed, how much time is spent in the document, and what platforms our viewers are using to view the flipbooks.

Since we have a dedicated in-house design department, we didn't need design features within our flipbook platform. We design our PDFs within the bounds of our brand in Adobe products, and then we upload the finals to FlippingBook. I suppose that if we didn't design that way that we might be inclined to want layout capabilities within the FlippingBook interface.

When we were evaluating the different flipbook platforms, we didn't really like the way the design/layout features worked in the other flipbook platforms, specifically the inability to download and archive a design project that could be opened locally, so we decided to keep our designs in Adobe, and upload the final PDFs to FlippingBook, and this has worked nicely for us.

The ability to bring historically flat documents - PDFs, brochures, books, product catalogs, etc. - to life. Not only is the platform quite easy to use, but it makes otherwise static content feel more engaging. I also like that you can implement an ever present CTA, allowing people to take further action if they need or want more information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needing to manually select all display settings everytime you upload or create a new flippingbook feels cumbersome and unnecessary. Also, it would be great to be able to pull a weekly report that shows all view+usage metrics, by individual files (FB currently provides a report that captures total views).

From a Human Resource Team perspective, since we starting using Flipping Book we have been able to modernize and streamline a ton of our employee resources and communications. The use of Flipping Books provides employees with easy access to employee benefits, policies and documents at any time. Creating a Flippng Books is super easy and efficient and the platform offers many valuable features in designing the flipbook. We love the ability to match our branding or utilize other template designs, the table of contents feature, ability to embed videos and links and more. Another great design of the platform is the ability to creat folders so that we can easily catalog our flipbook library. The data analytics provided on utilization is also very valuable. It allows us to asses what information employees are looking for, how the books are performing etc, so we can adjust our marketing and education as needed. I created an Open Enrollment Resources guide and the feedback has been astounding. Employees love the ease of finding content and have reported how clear and helpful having the resource enabled them to make confident benefit enrollment decisions. We have also seen a huge reduction in questions received from employees, as the resource provides them what they need. Flipping Book frequently provides new features and updates to the platform which is also important and another reason we love it! We highly reccomend Flipping Book!

Can't think of anything! We really enjoy the platform and keep finding new ways to use it. Good value for the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an extremely user-friendly tool for creating interactive and professional presentations that you can customize the branding, embed videos and add links. Implememting it accross our organization was smooth and has made it easy for us to share with customers as frequent as we want and track the impact of our content. It provides consistent compatibility between all devices and makes it quick and easy to share these items through a short link. The analytics are great and able to track reader engagement. We have had the feedback that it has elevated customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the downsides I have experienced is the design customization is not as robust as I would like to see. Sometimes a logo or similar will be too large. There is limited offline use but there is the option to download the file if you are aware you will be offine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FlippingBook is an outstanding digital publishing tool that has significantly enhanced our ability to share visual and engaging content with ease. As an administrator, the platform is incredibly user-friendly, making the creation and customization of digital brochures a seamless experience. Its intuitive interface allows us to upload and organize a variety of media — from floorplans and renderings to community amenities — all in one place. The drag-and-drop functionality ensures that even those without technical expertise can create a polished and professional digital publication in no time.

On the consumer side, FlippingBook truly shines as well. The digital brochures are not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to navigate. The interactive, flipping page feature gives a unique, magazine-like feel, enhancing the overall browsing experience. What stands out the most is how the content is organized: floorplans, renderings, and detailed descriptions are presented in a digestible and easily navigable format, helping our audience stay engaged and understand the details without feeling overwhelmed.

The ability to show everything in one cohesive format has been a game-changer for us. Whether potential buyers are viewing floorplans, checking out renderings, or exploring community amenities, they can access all the necessary information without bouncing between multiple formats or websites. This one-stop format keeps our messaging clear and concise, and its attractive presentation makes it more likely that visitors will stay on our materials longer.

Overall, FlippingBook has streamlined our communication process and improved our customer engagement. Its ease of use, combined with its ability to display rich, interactive content, has made it an invaluable tool for our team. If you're looking to elevate the presentation of your digital content and keep your audience hooked, FlippingBook is an excellent solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cannot think of anything. Really has become a valuable marketing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using FlippingBook for about a 1.5 years and really like the product and its functionality. As an author of Swiss childrens travel guides I use FlippingBook to show readers and clients how the books will look once printed. This is really helpful. I also use it to review my work so then to make corrections. For me its very valuable as a tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that when I had a full screen, it would also expland further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
