Easy and eye catching We have been using Flipsnack to build an online program guide for our Wellbeing Think Tank events. It is easy to use, looks sharp, and we get complimented every event on how professional it looks. I'd highly recommend Flip snack to other organizations and small businesses.

Got back to me quickly Got back to me quickly, kept me updated with regular emails and a fixed the problem quickly.

Very poor customer service Whilst I found the process of creating a magazine on Flipsnack very good, I cannot say the same for their customer service operators. As I work in an educational establishment, I asked one operator if we were allowed a discount on their Starter pricing package. He said yes and sent me a link for a 30% discount. He explained that the discount was valid for 24 hours. Having had this approved by my line manager, I contacted Flipsnack the next day to commence with the Starter package. I was told that the discount was invalid. (However the 24 hour period had not expired at that time ) The woman I had a conversation with was quite unhelpful. She didn't explain why the discount code was suddenly no longer valid and insisted I was in the wrong. Hence giving Flipsnack 2 stars for customer service.

Looks good but hard to promote While the final product looks sophisticated, there are major issues with delivering it via social media and website. After we paid for a year subscription and after we spent countless hours creating our pdfs, only then were we told that the website platform we used had "limitations" and couldn't render the flip book properly. Also, the flipbook does not translate well to social media. So you're left with a really nice looking book that you can't promote. Would have given 1 star, but the support staff there was really nice (and apologetic), so the extra star is out of appreciation for them.

Text formatting bug huge problem! Update: FlipSnack fixed the text editor bug that prevented us from publishing. Fix took several weeks and required several customer support reps to re-diagnose issue. That said, my review has improved. 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.
