Flipboard for Android Quick Review

Flipboard: Your News Magazine 
Developer: Flipboard
Version: 1.8.4



Google Play Description 
“Flipboard brings together world news and social news in a beautiful magazine.
Flipboard's award-winning experience lets people see everything in one place. By bringing together the world's stories and life's great moments, you can stay up to date with the things that matter most. Flip through the news from your Twitter timeline as well as from outlets like the BBC, USA Today and The Verge. See everything from posts and photos shared by friends on Facebook and Instagram to videos from Stephen Colbert and pop culture nuggets from Rolling Stone. Find inspiration for your travel, style and life from places like National Geographic, Oprah and Cool Hunting.”


In other words…

Flipboard is a news reader app that in integrates your social media and news in on place… 

Does it work?
Yes and very nicely at that. It’s pretty fast at updating your stories and social media. You can also post right from the app to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, Linked-In, etc. 




Pros: 
- Beautiful UI
- Fast at updating Social media and Stories 
- Post and share from the app 
- Google + 

Cons: 
- Instagram doesn’t seem to work since the last Instagram update. (This will probably be fixed in the next Update for Flipboard) 
- No Notifications




My Thoughts 
I have used many news readers’ apps on android I have to say Pulse was my favorite until now. Flipboard is almost like combining Pulse, Google Currents, and TweetDeck into one. There are things I think they should improve on like adding notifications and making a bigger widget but overall it is my current favorite News Reader App…
