Flipsnack

Avantages

The product is very easy to use, has a nice effect when viewing the presentation. Love that we can insert video

Inconvénients

We use the flipsnack a little differently that your publications. We are graphic and content based, and the typography and layout limitations are sometimes very frustrating because they are too basic. There is also no type tracking capabilities for individual words, if you use the generic spacing, it spaces the whole paragraph. Quite basic stuff and may be good for most of your users, we get it. Just frustrating a bit to us. Many times, we have issues when downloading the code and uploading to another website. We would like self hosting option.

Avantages

What I like most about Flipsnack is its ease of use to display a catalog digitally on a website and still remain interactive like an actual book.

Inconvénients

What I like least is the need to re-upload an entire catalog if there is one change on a single page.

Avantages

Flipsnack is super easy to use, all the tools on both sides of the screen are clearly and well organized as well as nicely introduced. I love the fact that you can either upload your pdf and edit it online or create a whole project from 0. My favourite thing is that Flipsnack provides you with looots of different layouts to create your project (from magazines to photo albums to menus) and that is simply wonderful as it makes you look really pro. I also liked the fact that it allows you to insert videos and links and integrate those (but only in the paid version). Also, it's great that it allows for various people to access the account at the same time so that you can work together while making the changes!

Inconvénients

When I first suscribed to Flipsnack, I was shocked that it wasn't possible to write in the text boxes with justified text. There were only 3 options: central, aligned to the right or to the left, but no justified-text, so visually that made a huge impact and I didn't like it at all. I contacted the customer service and asked about it and they were really nice and said they would take that into consideration for their next update, and they really did! Now they've improved a lot since they introduced the option of text-justification. Also, I inquired about GIFs a few weeks later. I wanted to add a GIF to my magazine but realized it wasn't possible. After a little while, they updated that too!! So now it's possible to add GIFs and that's great! A negative thing is that when exporting the whole project into PDF the version is actually a bit poor and things move out of place, but the online version stays great.

Avantages

Flipsnack is a fairly simple to deploy software that allows for a more professional means of publication, presentation and online catalogues. The online application is quite decently priced if you purchase a yearly subscription and for those that only need the basic elements there is also a neat free version for the above mentioned uses. We loved the ease of use and the great customer service on the platform as well as how easy and secure the payment portal was.

Inconvénients

If you are a subscribed member of Flipsnack you will know that there are quite a few unlisted features in the comparisons table before purchase. This unfortunately can be a little misleading and make your decision after payment feel a little "cheeky"... *Hint - just go for the enterprise package if you want access to all the features of the platform such as a personalised favicon and subdomain URL. MP4 files cannot be uploaded to any Flipsnack document unless you are a enterprise member however you can run it videos through YouTube instead, so perhaps start a YouTube channel if you want to use video in you presentations / catalogues. The software can be a little buggy at times and does require a little bit of time and resource to iron out the kinks.

Avantages

The fact that I can make multiple online catalogues. But also I can upload existing ones.

Inconvénients

When you make a online catalogue, you can not use it for print. Allthough they offer a service to print it anyway, it’s expensive.

Avantages

It is really easy to use and create flip books, the design features are pretty simple and work well. None of my team are graphic designers so anything that makes it easy to make beautiful flip books is a bonus for us.

Inconvénients

Because we are a team we sometimes have two people working on different books at the same time. Flipsnack only allows one user to login to the system without having a expensive program. I wish we could have two users on the system at once.

Avantages

customization with books - the ability to design them exactly how we want them to look is a big advantage.

Inconvénients

inability to archive books so they always live on our account but don't count as one of our active flipbooks.

Avantages

The innovations it brings to my projects!

Inconvénients

There are changes/updates and I sometimes lose track. But I can still watch the videos and get up-to-date.

Pourquoi passer à Flipsnack

Avantages

Easy to edit - clean and straight forward platform

Inconvénients

At first, we would forget if we published it as private vs public and you couldn't go back to fix it. That was a while ago... maybe that function is better by now?

Avantages

Flipsnack is a great way to add interactivity to PDF content. It is a great alternative to printing documents and making them more visually appealing and engaging.

Inconvénients

I don't think there are enough benefits to having the enterprise account for the price it is. I think the addons for making the account exclusive to one client is too high and should be part of the standard enterprise account.

Avantages

Its ability to use anywhere. The cloud based software is handy

Inconvénients

Cut and paste doesn’t work well from a page more than 1 page away. The design functionality is difficult to master

Avantages

Flipsnack is easy to use. We just upload a PDF of our newsletter and can easily change out pages if need be. It makes it so easy to send out a large newsletter for our members to read.

Inconvénients

We have not encountered any issues nor do we dislike anything on Flipsnack.

Avantages

I like that I can offer pdfs behind password protection or create bookshelves for similar content.

Inconvénients

I wish there were options to easily split a PDF if I accidentally upload a layout instead of individual pages.

Avantages

It’s so easy to use. No training is necessary! I love it.

Inconvénients

No real cons here. It’s easy and quick to figure out.

Avantages

We were initially attracted to Flipsnack for the PDF flip feature and the ability to add in image carousels, videos and use our domain.

Inconvénients

The platform doesn't hold your font formatting - meaning after you finish your project and preview, and you return to your edit screen all the copy returns to a small black font - a nightmare.

No data features - your reports and decks have graphs and pie charts. They can't build them nor can they be animated in any way.

The builder is beyond terrible to use. You expect a Canva type experience, however, this platform is lightyears behind.

Incredibly overpriced to get all the functions they advertise. Once Canva adds these capabilities this platform will be obsolete.

Customer service is only available a few hours a day. Every time we tried to contact support it said they were closed. We tried in the evening, morning the next day and afternoon - nothing.

Avantages

First time user and everything was very easy to navigate. It’s fun, easy, proving the digital world is evolving.

Inconvénients

I had never heard it before now. Advertising department needs to push how amazing Flipsnack is.

Avantages

The creation/editing of magazines is really easy, and I love the features that are now in editing (e.g. hyperlinking). Once created the magazines are easily shareable and you can whitelabel the sharing and magazine. And there are no ads when you share, which is important to our clients. It is easy to search for and organize magazines.

Inconvénients

The enterprise pricing/setup for additional magazines could use modification for companies that have/keep many magazines on hand. We have to go in and delete old magazines to keep the number down to 1000. The cost to add more magazines was too pricey for us.

Avantages

I love that it has tons of customization options such as colors, fonts, videos, and even animations which makes it a great choice for a wide variety of flipbook projects and Flipsnack also has a large variety of templates to choose from.

Inconvénients

I don't like that the features on the free plan are severely limited and it can sometimes struggle with larger files and relies heavily on the user having a stable internet connection.

Avantages

Of all the interactive online publication platforms we've investigated (and there's quite a few of those), we've found FlipSnack to be easiest to work with, specifically how it integrates interactive animation and video, and the application of quick links, folios and call-outs.

Inconvénients

We have experienced super-slow page turning on some of our machines, and we've never quite resolved it, but we think it's down to a browser issue, and not the FlipSnack platform.

Avantages

The quality of pictures, books and links, the ease of usage and the customer service so far is exceptional

Inconvénients

Hate that i cannot edit the text on pdf that i uploaded, this would be so so helpful

Avantages

Flipsnack allows us to promote our materials on-line so that readers can easily "Flip" through pages like they would a magazine and not lose continuity while they are reading a multi-page document.

Inconvénients

It would be helpful to be able to have additional documents included within our subscription tier. Otherwise, it is great!

Avantages

Accessibility is great feature as this was a selling point when choosing a provider, which others didn't offer (at the time of choice). The ease of use overall is good and I do admire that Flipsnack is always evolving and bringing out new features to improve the platform.

Inconvénients

I have experienced difficulty with important features such as text editing saves which is critical. I would also say that some of the features need finessing/improving as they can be quite limiting/basic or generally quite glitchy.

Avantages

Uno dei punti di forza di Flipsnack è sicuramente la sua interfaccia utente intuitiva. La navigazione attraverso le diverse opzioni di progettazione è semplice e senza sforzo. Anche se non si è esperti nel design, Flipsnack fornisce strumenti accessibili che consentono di creare documenti di alta qualità senza complicazioni.

Inconvénients

Nessun inconveniente. Flipsnack è una risorsa eccellente per chiunque abbia bisogno di creare documenti digitali accattivanti e professionali. Con la sua interfaccia user-friendly, le funzionalità avanzate e un servizio clienti affidabile, Flipsnack si distingue come una delle migliori piattaforme di progettazione online sul mercato.

Avantages

Easy to convert from multi-page pdf to publishable flip book. The software is well maintained and fully functional when updates are released. Easy to learn, easy to use.

Inconvénients

I have no negative comments about this product.

Avantages

Amazing customer service. On a particularly stressful issue, (which was my own fault!) I found the customer service to be understanding, human and helpful. A solution was quickly found and I was talked all the way through the process. Professional and clean appearance to audience/viewers.Super easy to upload content and export outcomes - it is a very usable platform interface.Ability to embed published books on websites as well as share links to Flipsnack.

Inconvénients

The pre-made packages are quite restrictive.

Avantages

It allows us to produce a high-quality product. It is easy to use, and the editing abilities are key. We like the ability to embed video and useful links. Overall, we LOVE Flipsnack

Inconvénients

The process of updating an existing link can be confusing! Because you have to reupload the file and delete the old but it wasn't as intuitive until you found that out

Avantages

Easy navigation in the application, a number of options allowing for a more attractive visualization of the publication

Inconvénients

It is not possible to edit the content of the publication after it has been saved in the system

Avantages

I love that I can send a interactive and engaging presentation of qualifications document in an easy link. Creating the flip book is quick and easy. I like that I can keep links private so I can share it only with those I wish to access it.

Inconvénients

The ability to edit pages or add pages after publication is a little clunky. Usually I simply delete and start over if there are substantial changes to pages within each document.

me gusta que le da un estilo único a los pdfs publicados y me gusta su fácil uso e implementación en paginas web

Inconvénients

creo que la cantidad de archivos que puede subir es muy limitada así que si vas a usar para archivos que van a estar mucho tiempo sin usarse no lo recomendaría mejor solo sube tu archivo a otro servidor y publicalo.

Avantages

We offer international tournaments and this is a great way to promote these tournaments in different countries. Especially the video implementation in the magazines is a great tool to give an extra dimension to our presentation.

Inconvénients

No specific items come to mind so we are satisfied

It is not as popular as Issuu and it doesn't allow you a basic free plan

Inconvénients

no Cons...i can't find cons. easy to upload, fix pages.

Avantages

Flipsnack is set up in a very user friendly way. It is intuitively friendly for publishers that may be new to this system. Easy to embed publications in your website and quality of digital imaging is very high end.

Inconvénients

Creating new publications on this site seems tedious. Prefer to simply upload existing publication files to Flipsnack to convert in a proper looking digital program.

Avantages

You can post and have a magazine-style experience digitally. Being able to embed the code onto our website helps as well.

Inconvénients

I don't dislike it but there are other programs with which I have more experience.

Avantages

su herramienta de edicion de imagenes me parecio muy eficiente para lo que se requrio, aparte es una herramienta sumamente intuitiva.

Inconvénients

me parecio que al momento de cargar los archivos es muy lento espero en una proxima actualizacion mejoren este medio.

Avantages

I enjoy the page flipping experience. It feels like an upgrade from a regular pdf attached to an email.

Inconvénients

I want to send my publication straight to clients in full-screen mode without flipsnack branding or anything else on the page.

Avantages

What I like about flipsnack is the easy of use and link access.

Inconvénients

Note able to get subscription that can have as many users to institution account controlled by admins or superuser.

Avantages

The digital catalog feature has been great for flyers and trade shows where we have attendees scan our unique QR code that leads to the digital catalog pulling up directly on their phone!

Inconvénients

Missing features depending on the package, more editing options instead of having to use Canva as well.

Avantages

O Flipsnack tem uma interface bonita e fácil de navegar. Com ele é possível criar vários projetos incríveis

Inconvénients

Não tem nada que tenha feito eu não gostar do Flipsnack. Acredito que seja possível adicionais mais recursos com o tempo de templates e utilizações de recursos de IA dentro da ferramenta.

Avantages

The ability to not only format content for ease of use but the ability to easily embed it on my website.

Inconvénients

I did not have any problems using this straightforward software.

Avantages

Flipsnacks ease of use and customer support

Inconvénients

I can't remember off hand but I do remember some functionality being restrictive.

Avantages

This allows me to easily share my company materials in a professional way while also tracking statistics and being completely customizable.

Inconvénients

No real cons. Have had no issues in what I use it for.

Avantages

We produce a monthly digest that is distributed to our clients and prospects and this product is so easy to use! Great features including analytics and full screen mode. We love that you can easily embed the link and send out the digest via an email campaign.

Inconvénients

No complaints, it fits the bill for what we need.

Avantages

Usiamo flipsnack per la creazione abbastanza amatoriale di cataloghi digitali, devo dire ha ottime funzioni ed e di facile utilizzo.

Inconvénients

Potrebbe avere una versione gratuita di prova.

Avantages

We use Flipsnack to present our listing inventory as a sharable catalog. Listing inventory is constantly changing which means the catalog needs to be updated almost daily. It's super easy for me to update the catalog in Flipsnack so that clients always have the most up-to-date information. I like that the sharable link stays the same.

Inconvénients

I do most of my editing outside of Flipsnack (in MS Publisher), then upload PDFs to keep our catalog up-to-date. I did try building the catalog in Flipsnack but found that some of the functionality that I frequently use in MS Publisher isn't available in Flipsnack.

Pourquoi passer à Flipsnack

Avantages

Flipsnack gives you the print experience in a digital form. You can enjoy flipping through a book or magazine and get the full experience without paper. As a graphic designer, it would be very difficult to run my business without Flipsnack, because my clients would not feel the full value of my designs if they just viewed proofs as PDF email attachments.

Inconvénients

Not a dislike, but just an area for future growth: more automation and integration capabilities for auto-generating flipbooks and auto-updating content within the flipbooks, such as page numbers. Flipsnack is actively developing these capabilities and I'm eagerly waiting until they are available.

Avantages

Flipsnack is very user friendly. Even though we build our templates off of the website initially, I was able to see how easy it would be to start from scratch on the Flipsnack website if someone were to do to that. There are a lot of features that can also make the publication interactive, which is always a plus, especially since it is a digital publication. Editing and publishing is also a breeze, which is a huge win in my books.

Inconvénients

This was a very high level, probably back end con for us, but we were not able to customize the shelf the way we wanted to when tried to implement it on our own website. No fault to anyone, this was probably a specific case for Flipsnack so I can see not being able to customize the shelf on the back end. We ended up creating our own shelf on our website and embedding each catalog individually. This was fine since we switch it out every few months anyways.

Avantages

Flipsnack es una plataforma con la que puedo ser muy creativa. Contiene muchas plantillas y herramientas para crear revistas, catálogos e imágenes muy profesionales. Además, que su costo es muy accesible a comparación de otras plataformas.

Inconvénients

Llevo utilizandola 10 meses y no he encontrado problema alguno. Por el contrario, Flipsnack se ha convertido en mi plataforma favorita para diseñar.
