Everything that is useful is a paid add-on. Changing the default font, using a wider color palette, etc. I am so tired of these add-on's when they should be basic options. Bad business model.

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 She didn't explain why the discount code was suddenly no longer valid and insisted I was in the wrong.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.

I purchased a six issue subscription of a magazine on flipsnack and I now have the first two issues, but the problem now is before I got the second issue flipsnack counted two incomplete sample issues towards my subscription. So now I have only 2 issues left of my six issue subscription, which only comes to four issues. Will flipsnack continue to count those sample issues towards my six issue subcription or not?

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.

Very unclear description with subscription in terms of what you are receiving as far as flip files go. Spent much time and effort trying to download just a simple flipfile, which is all I wanted. However, even with the many chats in the service provided, it was always confusing and there was never a direct answer as to why I was not able get a copy of the flipfile which i spent a lot of time working on, just so that it can be downloaded in that exact format as it was displayed, only to be told eventually that i would have to upgrade! very disappointing. there should be clear indications as to EXACTLY what one is getting!
