FlippingBook is an outstanding product, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The support team consistently goes above and beyond—truly deserving a 10+.

"Exciting visual experience to add to our Sales Enablement toolbox"
What do you like best about FlippingBook?

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.

What do you dislike about FlippingBook?

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.

Response from Alina K. of FlippingBook

Hello, Alyssa! Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that FlippingBook provides a valuable and engaging experience for your team’s sales enablement efforts.

While creating PDFs from scratch within FlippingBook is not currently possible, we have a collection of templates in Canva that might be helpful for your team. You can check them out here: https://flippingbook.com/blog/marketing-tips/canva-templates-for-creating-flipbooks. We appreciate your feedback on video assets—an update is indeed planned, so please stay tuned for the upcoming release.

"Still thrilled with FlippingBook after four years!"
What do you like best about FlippingBook?

The immediate changes that I can make and "publish" for the patrons of our shows that help us sell more tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlippingBook?

FlippingBook has added a nice variety of "Skins" for the backgrounds. But guess I always want to see more. This is not a "dislike" -- this is a suggestion, new Skins quarterly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate FlippingBook for making my documents more interactive and engaging, allowing me to add pop-ups and forms that aren't common in other PDFs.

"Great Product!"
What do you like best about FlippingBook?

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.

What do you dislike about FlippingBook?

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.

"small magazines"
What do you like best about FlippingBook?

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.

"How we strive to make our customers more digital"
What do you like best about FlippingBook?

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.

What do you dislike about FlippingBook?

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.

Response from Alina K. of FlippingBook

Hello, David! Thank you so much for your kind words!💙 We're thrilled that FlippingBook is helping you go digital and make catalogs more engaging for your customers. It’s amazing to hear that our features help boost conversions!
