FlowPaper Pros and Cons

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It was easy to import my PDF and also to publish. I was happy with the way I could customize my publication and then upload it to their cloud and get a useable link straight away Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far it has been straightforward, but I haven't tried the different templates yet, so I don't know how easy to use those are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flow paper is simple to use and versatile for for multiple projects. What I pay annually for Flowpaper is what I used to pay monthly for the same service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one downside is erasing saved E-publications, it must be done one at a time rather than a UX where you could checkmark pubs to delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

It met all of my expectations and honestly cannot think of a better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
