What do you like best about FlowPaper?

Dropping a pdf into the program is super easy, I like that you can add links right onto specific parts of a page. The reading experience is great, and customizable - also works for reverse bound books. It's not an overly complicated program so is easy to get a hang of.

For an indie manga magazine it's has been perfect. We can create a seamless and emersive experience for our customers without breaking the bank, or our brains.

The fact that "Zine" is an affordable one time fee was perfect for a tiny and risky startup. I personally dislike subscriptions, especially at that early stage and this was the only one I found so it was a quick "yes".

A few years later I was able to show it to a partner working on a similar, but more successful startup and he loved it! Now we have the Creative teir and have lot's of flip books to make. Part of why we got this teir was the fact that Flowpaper will host your flip books and we can both work from our own, distant computers and tag team them.

Whoever replies to Flowpaper emails is very, responsive, kind and helpful which is quite a bonus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

Logging into the program is weirdly difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a magazine and indie book publisher , Flow paper allows us to bring the experience of reading our books physically, into the online space. Physically printing everything we have is preventatively expensive and many of our readers would like access on the go but scrolling isn't the experience we want to provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

FlowPaper makes it very easy for us to update and share our Program Guide for our facility. We produce 3 per year and can easily replace the existing content. Flowpaper fits our budget - and actually saves us money because we no longer need to produce printed copies. Our members and guests can easily navigate to the online digital version! We were easily able to integrate FlowPaper into our website as well as via a QR code on flyers to direct people to FlowPaper to view all of our offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

We have not yet found any down sides to this product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer print our Winter/Spring, Summer, and Fall Program Guides - so this saves us a TON of money. Plus most people want to find all the info online anyway. So this saves us time as well as money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erik Engström of FlowPaper

Many thanks for your kind words! We hope you continue to enjoy using FlowPaper

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

The key feature that attracted us is the option to receive the full HTML5 code that we can then self-host. After being burned by a different vendor that closed after 20 years, we had to rebuild our online library of issues and did not want to commit our online publications to another third-party vendor. The self-hosting option was the deal-maker for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

I haven't managed to master the software to do conversions of some of our own internal, smaller publications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

They convert our organization magazine to a fully-responsive version. We create our own flipbook version, but use Flowpaper's services to create the responsive version that our members can more easily read on mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

FlowPaper is a fantastic tool for turning PDFs into interactive documents. It's very user-friendly, offering simple implementation and customization to match our company's brand identity. The responsive design and fast loading times are top-notch. Flowpaper is really easy to use and integrate into your other marketing pieces, and it's been a huge-time saver for our digital catalog and other sales pieces. The few times I've contacted customer service, they have been quick to response and helpful. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

One area where it could improve is the process of replacing individual pages within an existing publication. While it's possible, the process can be more time-consuming than desired, especially for larger documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating interactive, professional looking flipbooks of various marketing pieces. Incredibly fast to implement and produces a polished product to share with customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

As a web development agency, we’ve successfully integrated FlowPaper into various client projects. For an LMS designed to enhance the reading experience for schoolchildren, FlowPaper seamlessly converted static PDFs into engaging flipbooks that work perfectly across all devices. Additionally, we’ve used FlowPaper to create interactive catalogs for a wallpaper factory, effectively attracting and retaining users for over a decade. The platform’s ease of use, reliability, and responsive design make it versatile across industries. Customer support has been exceptional, ensuring smooth implementation and ongoing success. We use FlowPaper regularly and plan to continue utilizing it in future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

While FlowPaper has been a fantastic addition to our project, we have a few suggestions that could further expand its use cases. Specifically, for our integration, having API access to the textbook’s table of contents would be highly valuable, and the development team has expressed openness to exploring this in future releases. Additionally, a feature for restricted viewing of a few textbook pages for demo purposes would be a great enhancement. These improvements could make FlowPaper even more adaptable to our educational needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

FlowPaper solves the challenge of transforming static PDFs into engaging, interactive digital publications, such as flipbooks and catalogs. This benefits us by allowing seamless integration into our clients’ digital workflows, enhancing their content’s visual appeal and accessibility across devices. It also improves user engagement and retention, particularly in educational and commercial projects, while providing a reliable and easy-to-use solution that we can consistently apply to various industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erik Engström of FlowPaper

Thats a great review! Thanks for providing so much detail. We're working on a API which will provide quite a lot of features for cases like yours and we'll make sure to keep you in the loop!

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

The service brings documents and reports to life. Selling the design to the client becomes so much easier with a little interaction, rather than showing a static, flat PDF. It's easy to use, I use it frequently, and I couldn't recommend it more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlowPaper?

I wish there were the possibility to create tri-fold brochures (especially full page tri-folds). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlowPaper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It brings documents and reports to life and allows my firm to sell to the client with much greater success than a static, flat PDF. It demonstrates better how the document will look on print, which is key in the approval process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erik Engström of FlowPaper

Thank you for your review! We do actually have a tri fold template that we can add to the suite so please check in with us and we can tell us how to get access to it

What do you like best about FlowPaper?

As a non technical person, having used this product for many yeards, I found FlowPaper very intuitive and extremely easy to use. It has all of the features and format that you'd expect and then some. The ebooks were also easy to impement and integrate on my website. Above all though, was the prompt tech support that I received from Erik, despite the time difference.
