Not sure why anyone would publish on this platform. ### 1/5 — Appallingly crap app *2023-09-04, version 11* Does not work. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Does Nit Work *2023-08-26, version 11* Everyone is right, the app is a joke. ### 1/5 — Pretty much useless *2022-10-20, version 11* Worked to begin with with a bit of patience after a couple of attempts to download the bike magazine. Now won’t download at all ### 1/5 — Does NOT work *2022-09-22, version 11* Thought everyone else might be wrong... But they're not. It doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-08-23, version 11* Good luck. Just makes you mad going in circles and wasting time. ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2022-08-07, version 11* Title says it all ### 1/5 — Ain’t working 😤 *2022-07-14, version 11* Just don’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-05-17, version 11* Does not work no view shown!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2022-04-12, version 11* Downloaded the app and tried to follow the steps but the online Flipbook would not give me the option to “view”, it just kept saying open. And then finally just disappeared completely from the top of the screen. The app doesn’t have a help center or anything g at all. It is completely useless as far as assistance is concerned. ### 1/5 — Ditto to all the negative reviews *2022-03-02, version 11* I read all the negative reviews and thought an app couldn't possibly be that bad. It is. Awful app. Don't bother. ### 1/5 — Does not work like instructed *2022-02-23, version 11* Bad instructions, did what it says, close and open browser and relevant page, but no “view” button. Only “open” and keeps going back to app with empty page. ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-02-09, version 11* Does not work! Programming half think! ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-01-17, version 11* This app does nothing. It has no reason to exist. My dog could write better code for this app. ### 1/5 — It just keep crashing… *2022-01-13, version 11* I would have rated zero star if I can. This app was given as an option for the online digital print of the magazine I subscribed. Instead of viewing over websites. The app just keep crashing whenever I try to load the magazine up. Not even error message. Reinstalled twice and reload the app many times. Zero success so far. Saw the ratings and reviews of the app and I wasn’t holding much expectations when I downloaded but it is much worse. ### 1/5 — Cannot view error showing *2021-12-14, version 11* A “Domain logo not added” error shows up blocking the screen when opening a magazine. How do i fix it? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-11-18, version 11* Says go back to web page and click “view” top right corner, well it is not “view” but “open”. When I open on web page it takes me back to this app and app keeps sending me back to web page. Useless I mean really. Deserves 0 star ### 1/5 — It’s awful *2021-11-18, version 11* It sticks you in an infinite loop. ### 1/5 — Goodness this is pretty much unworkable *2021-11-10, version 11* Downloaded this to be able to read a particular digital magazine, as the only option. Quality of the magazine image is so poor at first and takes ages to load a page, but no data seems to be stored so as you move back or forward you have to wait several seconds for each page to become legible. Imagine reading a paper magazine where you have to keep your eyes closed for 10 seconds after each page turn. Appalling. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-05-02, version 11* This App won't even download to my iPad Pro to even give it a rating, and according to the other reviews isn't worth getting anyway. . a Real Fizzer 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — SB Program NO Viewer *2025-02-03, version 11* Spent 10 minutes trying to open SB program in this app. It doesn’t open anything. Unable to download the program or see it. Useless. ### 1/5 — Does not Work *2025-01-25, version 11* No matter how many times a flipbook is reloaded, app will not open it. Maybe let consumers choose where the flipbook file may be located instead of default being the flipbook library. ### 1/5 — App crashes on new iPad *2025-01-08, version 11* Installed app on new 2024 iPad and was unable to open publications. App just crashes. Deleted, rebooted iPad, reinstalled, and still crashes. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-07-15, version 11* It does not transmit the sounds of the book ### 1/5 — Did not work *2024-06-22, version 11* There was no link to view my paper. Failed at first hurdle. Did not work. ### 1/5 — Nope. Nada. *2024-02-17, version 11* I agree with the other reviewers. This app doesn’t work at all. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — How can the App Store approve such trash? *2024-01-07, version 11* Am I wrong that the App Store reviews and approves apps to meet a minimum standard of usability and safety? How in earth can such trash make it through the gates? I’m only trying to understand. Appreciate being educated. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-11-12, version 11* To get started, instructions are given to open the flip book in he browser and click ‘view’. There is NO view. ### 1/5 — The most useless app I ever downloaded *2023-09-15, version 11* This app is completely useless. Impossible to download or view any “flipbook” with it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works fine for adventure bike rider *2020-10-31, version 10.0.15* Also subscribed to Adventure Bike Rider and works fine for me. iPad iOS 14.1 ### 5/5 — Flipbook review easy to use *2019-04-26, version 10.0.15* Easy to use and view my publication fantastic. User friendly ### 5/5 — Works for me. *2018-02-01, version 9.1.1* Have been using this app for about a year and have 30 magazines downloaded. Very easy to view. All available for offline viewing. Only problem is limited array of publications available for this app. ### 5/5 — Works fine *2015-01-02, version 4.0.2* Installed it. Worked without a problem ### 4/5 — Preforms as it should but wish I could make notes on my iPad *2017-06-26, version 9.0.1* Much better than reading the paper version. I wish I could take notes with my iPad and Apple pencil directly in the app rather than screen clipping and pasting in another app, like Notability, to make notations. ### 4/5 — Works fine for me. *2015-09-25, version 6* I see lots of comments about not working with the last release of iOS. I'm on 9.0. Just loaded FlipViewer for the first time, and I've been able to read a few issues of the magazine I wanted to access. My only reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is that enlarging the view (better to read by) and going back to normal size (so you can flip to next page) should be by a simple tap each way. ### 3/5 — Downloads *2013-08-30, version 1.1.1* How do I access downloads of magazines I like? ### 2/5 — Can’t even get that far *2025-06-22, version 11* I downloaded and installed it. It wanted me to login, so I gave it a username for myself and a password. Still won’t let me login. Won’t tell me how to create an account. Really “very useful” 😖 ### 2/5 — Please update your app and fix bugs! *2017-02-06, version 6.3.3* I use this app to view the online publication Traction eRag. It hasn't worked since the holidays and now all my past issues are gone! This is super frustrating as I really enjoy this mag, please fix!!! ### 2/5 — Update loses all previously downloaded magazines *2015-09-26, version 6* Very annoyed, all my downloaded content is now gone, with just a text to go to browser, download the magazine and click view.... No button to recover content, not happy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
