I have been very pleased with our use of the Paperturn platform. We made some incredible new ebooks and this platform really helps them come to life for our audience.

Pros

I have been very pleased with the ease of use and intuitiveness of the platform. As MarTech stack options grow, learning the ins and outs of programs can sometimes be frustrating. However, this platform is designed simply and accessing features are straight-forward and upcomplicated.

Cons

The only con I have at this point is the steps involved with adding GIFs and animations to uploaded PDFs. Even that task isn't unsurmountable, though.

A digital catalog is one of the first things I implemented into our marketing strategy. I did about a weeks worth of research on how before choosing Paperturn and I do not regret it!

Pros

Cons

Pros

Being able to update and overwrite documents without changing links is a lifesaver - our brochure often contains details of recurring events, so we can update dates and re-upload copies without having to go share a new link.

Cons

Users have reported that the accessibility functions are not ideal for those with limited vision.

Reviewed on 2023/03/02

It's been great, definitely a gamechanger in our selling process.

Pros

I appreciate that new features are continually being added. I have not had the opportunity to integrate them yet, but I am excited about embedding form fill-in's, virtual walkthroughs and photo galleries, etc. In an industry that changes so often such as ours, having one "source of truth" document is so important. It prevents old copies of price sheets or home availability from confusing prospects in their buying process.

Cons

I realize it's fully a user error issue, but one time I accidentally deleted a brochure that was associated with more permanent marketing methods such as a QR code displayed on collateral given to homeowners and on-site signage. The Paperturn team was able to quickly re-roll the error, but it seemed as this was just pure luck as I noticed the error immediately. If they would not have been able to do so, this QR would've become useless and no longer linked to the proper content. There's always now just a slight concern in the back of my mind when uploading new documents as this is not an error I wish to make again.

After searching for multiple flipbooks on the internet for our new catalogue, Paperturn has been able to draw our attention from its modern and clean design! Its very intuitive use allows quick installation of the elements. To allow us to integrate links is very practical to us in the sale of our products! I particularly love being able to know where the views of our catalogue come from all over the world, these are data that are really interesting and important to us! That’s why I strongly recommend using Paperturn!

Pros

I love this software for its ease of use as well as all the options that make it possible to set up contents!

Cons

The most useful feature for us is versioning. When we update a brochure, the link to the file remains the same so our customers who have been sent URLs in the past will always be presented with the most up to date materials.

As a not-for-profit it’s important to us to find cost efficiencies wherever possible. We have found this platform to be simple and reliable with great communication and a high quality presentation.

Pros

For a very reasonable cost, our non-profit organisation has been able to have an annual publication hosted on Paperturn for easy access by thousands of users. The front-end UI is attractive and the back-end management of our publication has been simple and efficient. In the past we have taken down our publications on other portals after a couple of months to save on costs, but this year we decided to leave it up and running because the costs are so manageable. The stats are incredibly insightful for understanding the impact of your publications.

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say in particular. The settings dialogue box for individual publications is a bit ordinary, but it’s functional.
