Flipsnack

Flipsnack Review

Kommentit: We are using it to display our print magazine online to web visitors and overally have had a good experience with Flipsnack.

Hyvät puolet:

Very easy to get started. We used several other products that were more expensive, less features and harder to use before finding Flipsnack.

Huonot puolet:

Nothing yet that we have found but we are just beginning to use it at scale. If I were to pick something I would like to have more options it would be on gating it. We use it on a membership site so I have had to find ways to gate the pages themselves instead of the reader.

Holistic approach to publishing and documents handling needs.

Kommentit: Purposed to secure delivery and professional services. It is a smart tool to work with and a sure way for greater results.

Hyvät puolet:

As a business owner, I have the goal and mandate to run things with the highest professionalism possible. It takes working with the best in order to deliver the best results. I choose Flipsnack for this reason. No disappointments. I am happy to be under its roof.

Huonot puolet:

I have not found anything undesirable about Flipsnack. Everything works to my favour.

Horrible platform lacking fuction and customer support

Hyvät puolet:

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

Huonot puolet:

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.

Easy to Use and Affordable

Kommentit: We find it easy and overall affordable to provide our clients with these magazines. It is a great value add for us. Additionally it allows us to present our marketing material in a unique and upscale way

Hyvät puolet:

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.

Huonot puolet:

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.

Creating an in-flight experience that flies

Kommentit: FlipSnack helps bring one of our key client's most important digital communications to life. With over 400k views per day via a dedicated website, it's critical that the software and functionality operates perfectly. FlipSnack provides us with he peace of mind, as well as the quality customer experience, that we need.

Hyvät puolet:

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.

Huonot puolet:

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.
