Storytelling & Reading

• • There is no checkout limit.
  • Most titles can be downloaded to the Flipster app and kept indefinitely. But some popular titles expire after two days (for weekly publications) or seven days (for monthly or seasonal publications). These titles will display the time remaining, and will gray out once they expire.
  • Flipster doesn't sync across devices, but you can manually download the same content to multiple devices.
  • If your iOS device is in Dark Mode, you may want to switch to Light Mode to make it easier to browse categories or search.
  • For more information, see Flipster's handouts for iOS or Android or the Flipster FAQs.

• • If you're at a FVRLibraries location or using our Wi-Fi, you can access Flipster without signing in.
  • If you're using the Flipster app or are outside a FVRLibraries location, sign in with your library card number and PIN.

• • FVRLibraries selects the titles that are available in our Flipster account, and we review and update the list in October of each year for the following calendar year.
  • If you'd like us to consider a title to add, please fill out our contact form and let us know you're requesting an addition to our Flipster titles.

• • No hay límite de revistas que puedas ver.
  • La mayoría de las revistas se pueden descargar en la aplicación Flipster y guardar por tiempo indefinido. Sin embargo, algunas revistas populares tienen fecha de vencimiento: dos días para las publicaciones semanales y siete días para las publicaciones mensuales o de temporada. Estas revistas mostrarán el tiempo que les queda y se verán en gris cuando venzan.
  • Flipster no se sincroniza entre dispositivos, pero puedes descargar el mismo contenido manualmente en varios dispositivos.
  • Si tu dispositivo iOS está en Modo Oscuro, puede ser más fácil navegar y buscar si cambias al Modo Claro.
  • Para más información, consulta las guías de Flipster para iOS o Android, o las Preguntas frecuentes de Flipster..
