Gründe für den Wechsel zu Flipsnack

Vorteile

It’s a beautiful way to share back reports to clients instead of sending a pdf. And the possibility to insert videos in my docs.

Nachteile

The price. And limited functionality outside publishing our docs.

Vorteile

It's super easy to use and very intuitive. Style and design of the end product is chef's kiss. Additional features like the downloadable gif and link options are great.

Nachteile

I'm happy across the board with Flipsnack. Haven't come across anything that I don't like.

Vorteile

We used it in editing our catalog designs and testing out new content. We can recreate each content with a beautiful template, but we don't have many options, it's limited.

Nachteile

Flipsnack is a really nice utility, but very expensive. When you want to export the content you have created, it only allows up to 4 pages in free use. Other than that it's really expensive.

Vorteile

We were able to get our work done thanks to its different content and easy use, but it was expensive, so we didn't follow up.

Nachteile

We found the prices quite expensive, not every country has the same economy, so we find them a bit expensive from our point of view.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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!

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

A facilidade de criação, tudo muito intuitivo

Nachteile

Baixo número de catalogos, pode aumentar a base

Vorteile

really easy to use. easy to upload, fix pages.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Flipsnacks ease of use and customer support

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

Potrebbe avere una versione gratuita di prova.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

I love the start of this software. I think it is easy to use, get catalogues uploaded, love the embedding feature and the ease of access. White label listing really sold this for us, that was a very important aspect although the cost is incredibly high and it may impact how long we have the software. There are competitors that are growing and offering similar features for less. Although we really do love flipsnack

Nachteile

The white labeling disappears in mobile viewing and the flipsnack name comes back (this is our number one con as we pay a lot of money for the white label and most of our views are mobile based.... so its a little sad that the white label doesnt continue into mobile viewing). We would love there to be MORE, interactivity with the catalogues, allowing readers to click more and do more inside the catalogue. The interactivity is cool right now, but still very small in what you can actually accomplish. Also the flashing target buttons are not the best option, if you could make a product tag that is invisible that could be wrapped around a product, that would be ideal. The flashing targets (from a marketing perspective) can ruin an entire look and feel of a layout. If you made invisible areas we could direct readers to click on products. We would also love if flipsnack would create an area (white labeled) where our readers and customers could login and make changes themselves to the catalogues, add their logo, etc without our help

Vorteile

It is easy to share and add to an email. The final look of the product is very nice.

Nachteile

The software is not user friendly, edits are not easy to do.

Vorteile

It's ridiculously easy to use and has a high WOW factor. My clients think this takes day to do and that I must be a graphic designer.

Nachteile

I wish they provided more templated background options.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Warum Flipsnack gewählt wurde

Zuvor genutzte Software

Vorteile

You don't need to be tech savvy to get started. There are beautiful templates ready for you and a lot of options to customize. Publishing is simple and the entire process from creating to publishing is straightforward.

Also, love the option to download PDF and JPG versions of the flipbooks. I use it a lot when I'm creating a flyer or poster for a project I'm working on.

Nachteile

There can be minor lags when opening up the flipbook and it would be great if we can get a table of contents widget as an option when building a flipbook from scratch, rather than only having that option available when uploading a PDF.

I would love to see more regular updates with new templates.

Vorteile

Very little. Basic functions work ok.

Nachteile

For weeks I have been going in circles with customer service having to prove that the view one sees in their EDITOR mode is different from the published mode. In short, the text box formatting has a bug and you cannot access the html to correct it.

I have sent them several screen shots of the two and the obvious discrepancy and I have been getting back lame answers, mainly blaming me. Today they admitted to the bug. But clearly others would have encountered an error simply caused by coping text boxes! Awful.

Vorteile

Ability to customize and ease of use. We have been able to meet customer needs to see their unique products and critical details.

Nachteile

Cost. We wish we would could purchase certain features "a la carte"

Vorteile

We love being able to create these beautiful online magazines and brochures for our potential clients to really see the whole process of what it's like to work with us. The online products look very professional and the user experience is great. You can make your publication interactive as well, and link out to other content, which is a helpful feature.

Nachteile

It takes a little while to get the hang of using the software and creating pleasing designs. Parts of the design process are intuitive and parts are not.

Vorteile

Easy to use and manage our catalogs. very user fiendly

Nachteile

needing to pay for certain advanced features that would be nice in lower tiers

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Flipsnack

Vorteile

Templates and you can include videos. Videos are essential fir us to share our work.

Nachteile

I have not noticed anything I don’t like. I would like info on how to get what I created printed.

Vorteile

The feature I like the most is being able to integrate Flipsnack onto my organization's website. The design of it is really sleek and professional with the dynamic feature. It's really easy to use on the basic level and really beginner friendly.

Nachteile

If there was an easier way to add links that would be really helpful. The last time I used that feature I was having trouble keeping everything the same size for a table of contents. Since the numbers were fairly small it was difficult to navigate.

Vorteile

All you have to do is create the pdf and upload. Easy to send a link.

Nachteile

The links didn't copy over from the pdf. I have to remember to add them in the finished flipbook online. Also couldn't figure out for a while how to not let clients see our other flipbooks. In addition, difficult to figure out how to edit the flipbook online (rather than deleting and uploading a new one).

Vorteile

I like the ease of setting up and formatting my magazine. Flipsnack has a great interface for creating. It is easy to embed and can be customized to fit any width website.

Nachteile

They do nothing on their end to help drive viewers. There is an app now but you evidently have to be part of a secret service to have your magazine included on the app. The lack of inclusion in the app is the reason I will be removing my magazine from flipsnack. We needed the app platform for our readers to subscribe and view us consistently. When I talked to customer service about the issue, they did nothing and told me it just wasn't an option for me after not even understanding they had an app. I should have been offered a resolution, and I wasn't. The company itself isn't interested in supporting their customer's growth or giving us the option to create a sustainable product for our customers. Therefore, I'm out.

Vorteile

We love how easy it is to share all of our promotional material with our clients. The page turning effects are really eye catching and the ability to add video content, and enable download is really important for sales.

Nachteile

We want to keep all of our documents unlisted, but sometimes we forget to do this, it would be good to have the option to create default set up's as we also forget to list for download sometimes as well. It is easy to go back and change this fortunately though.

Vorteile

Enables page-turning catalogs to match customer branding wherever they are shared. I can customize colors and customize logo for my client online.

Nachteile

I believe that this tool to better serve can facilitate their integration.

Vorteile

The ease of use and features that suit our needs

Nachteile

Limited to 10 live magazines on the standard subscription. 12 would be much more useful as this would cover a whole year of publications

Vorteile

It was easy to brand the magazine and embed any youtube videos I'd like in it. I can easily find stock images to place in, which is one of my favorite benefits! You can even place them within certain shapes. You can use templates and see some really neat stats like impressions, views, and my favorite... how long they spent on the magazine. Customer service is very attentive and can usually fix my problems or answer any questions that I have. Easy to embed on our website.

Nachteile

While I appreciate the detailed stats, the stats on clicks seem pretty useless and I cannot get a good answer from customer service about it. I have stats on pages where there is nothing to click and stats on pages that don't exist (stats on page 25 for example when there is no page 25 for that magazine). When downloading a CSV of the stats, it makes even less sense and isn't even congruent with the stats on clicks from the website.

Vorteile

I like the searchable templates as they are a great source of inspiration when you haven't got all day to be able to start from scratch on each design task!

Nachteile

I think that the arrangement, adjustment and editing of individual images would be great if more functionality was added. Mirror flip and degree rotation would be a great addition.

Vorteile

Flipsnack is really easy to use. It has modern features, like the shadows on the paper and the beautiful noise when you pass the pages. I think that it´s so cool and useful.

Nachteile

I´m satisfied with the product. I don't have anything to say about cons. Keep on working Flipsnack! You´re on the right way..

Vorteile

It’s easy to sue with some great features, especially if you have a lot of photos to feature. You can make something that sends easily and is beautifully presented. Love the duplicate page feature

Nachteile

When i save and don’t click publish it still publishes it which is annoying when you are working on a draft and have not completed it.

I wish there was a line to indicate when something is centered or aligned with something else

No options to have it professionally printed through Flipsnack

Vorteile

Ease of use and the fact that I can reuse the same code and have updated eBooks for my customers

Nachteile

I would like to see some of the extra features included in my package, without having to go premium. I am just a small business and enjoy the features of Flipsnack, as well as the practical uses.

Vorteile

This solution has everything you might need to publish something online, from design to distribution. The service offering is comprehensive.

Nachteile

If you are just looking for a way to create flipbooks of already designed materials and share online this solution is overkill.

Vorteile

It's simple to upload and converts quickly. I like that it has an editor in the app and that you can have interactive links in the booklet. I also like that it gives viewers the option to download a pdf version.

Nachteile

I wish you could customize the URL. This is only available with the highest paid plan.

Vorteile

The user interface is simple and easy to use. Hot boxing images to provide cliackable links to videos and websites is great. Providing readers with the option of downloading or viewing simplified versions is also useful. Having clear statisitcs is also handy so that you can better understand your audience.

Nachteile

Whilst you can build a publication from scratch with only this software, uploading a pdf designed in external programmes (such as InDesign) is better due to the limited design features in comparison. The app for mobiles/tablets is a little limited and could be expanded with more features.

Vorteile

Lovely easy to use platform with really nice templates.

Nachteile

It is NOT able to be edited offline. Absolutely frustrating when operating from a remote location.
Especially so since CV19 , when the internet is even slower.

Vorteile

The presentation of our marketing documents – it gives us a professional look and is very easy to use and manage. Being able to add our brand elements such as color, fonts, and logos was really important as well so we can maintain brand consistency if any of our team members were to create their own.

Nachteile

Would love the ability to add a custom domain without having to go into an enterprise plan. We are a small company, so paying the $150/month doesn't make sense, but our brand is still very important.

Vorteile

The product was easy to setup and integrate functionality and links for CTA processes. We managed to put our library of datasheets together in a few hours too.

Nachteile

The only think was having a limitation on creating new datasheets, but we fully appreciate FLIPSNACK need to make money commercially and in the future we will be looking at paying for additional facilities.

Vorteile

This is a fantastic tool and I love using it.
The templates are great , the support is also very good and overall its a winner

Nachteile

The annual subscription is a bit heavy for a company my size but if I were to grow it would be more beneficial

Vorteile

The software is very easy to use. The overall quality is also good. If you're looking to create a stunning ecommerce catalog or simply a company journal - Flipsnack can handle it.

Nachteile

The Snacktools branding and the overall cost of professional verisions of the software.

Vorteile

I like the ability to customize including images and video for each of the sponsorship decks I produce for clients. To easily change out or add pdfs to the decks is a huge time saver for me, and allows me to be as creative as I would like, without reinventing a deck every time.

Nachteile

There really isn't too much I don't like.
