CNET Editors' review
FlipAlbum Standard allows users to organize their pictures into realistic digital photo albums, but there's a learning curve involved and some of the more useful features aren't available until you pay for an upgrade.
FlipAlbum's interface is fairly plain and most of the space is dedicated to viewing and creating albums. Before you can get started, though, you'll need to supply your name and e-mail address and wait for a key to be sent to you. Once that's taken care of, we suggest you use the Quick Start wizard. The wizard makes it easy to choose a folder of images, select a layout, and choose a background theme. If you prefer to skip the Wizard, be prepared to spend some time reading the Help file.
Users can do everything from adding multimedia and music files to making annotations on the photos, but some of the options are not as intuitive as they could be. It took us longer than expected to figure out how to insert a photo into the album, which should be one of the program's most basic and obvious functions. But the Help file and a bit of fiddling should have users comfortable with the interface relatively quickly. We were a little disappointed to find only seven background themes on offer, but according to the Help file, the paid version includes more options.
FlipAlbum Standard is free, but the one major drawback of the free version is the inability to share photos. Users must upgrade if they want to e-mail albums, upload them to a Web site, or burn them to a CD. This limits the program's usefulness. But if you're looking for a free program to organize your photos and don't mind spending some time learning the program's ins and outs, FlipAlbum Standard gets the job done.

"Great quality with little effort"
Version: FlipAlbum Standard 7.0.4
Pros
Using the wizzard I got a splendidly looking album within minutes. Even at an enlargement of one photo per page I got superb quality.
Cons
Regrettably, such superb quality can only be transferred to CD or DVD. IF ONLY this great software could produce a picture-based commercial ebook!!
Summary
Great Product.

"Absolutely nearly Very Good - for free"
Version: FlipAlbum Standard 7.0.4
Pros
I used it within moments of downloading it; Has a wizard that does everything for me, although I can see it has features that I will want to use manually - such as placing more than one picture on a page and placing some at angles.
Cons
Free edition blocks me from distributing my FlipAlbums; unless I use their hokie website plan that requires my friends & family to sign in before they can see them. Arrgh! Didn't see option for putting FlipAlbums on portable devices - we have two tablets; maybe that is possible in the upgrade as is email distribution?
Summary
Well worth the price (free); good learning experience; delivers everything it promises; can only show albums to whoever is around my computer; free edition is truly a trial edition designed to make me want the paid edition - and for me it is working; I really want it.
