How do I create my own flipbook app?

One of Publuu’s most impressive features is the flipbook app which converts your collection of Flipbook PDFs into a mobile app for mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.

Thanks to this functionality, you can effortlessly create a mobile app for your online catalogs, digital magazines, eBooks, or other documents, which can be published in Google Play. If you’re our Premium customer, we can create the app for you, while all you have to do is to customize it to match your brand design and offer specific issues you choose.

It’s important to note that once your app is released, you will gain access to another remarkable feature – push notifications. It allows you to send push mesages to your audience, without any extra charges. Readers will receive your notifications as pop-up alerts on their devices, even if they have closed the app.
