Flipboard has created a brand new version for tablets of
its popular app. For those who are not familiar with the app, it
provides a single place for all of your news, website feeds, and social
media.
Your Twitter news feed is added into the app, including small
portions of any linking articles. It does this by splitting the screen
so you have access to the tweet and portions of the linked article right
on the same screen.
You also get major news sources such as The New York Times included
on Flipboard. However, you do have to click one step further to get the
article. The first page only shows you the headers and a few snippets,
but it should be enough to help you decide if it is of interest for you
to read further.
You can tag your Flipboard content for reading later or cross with
services such as Pocket that are designed to allow you to read web pages
at a later time.
Another benefit of using Flipboard is that many of your major social
networks can all be read in one place. This includes Facebook,
LinkedIn, Instagram, and others. You can search for items of particular
interest across all of the networks right from Flipboard.
Image collections such as Fotopedia are also integrated into
Flipboard. If you create an account with Flipboard, it integrates your
chosen sites across all mobile devices. Interestingly enough, there
isn’t a version for your PC.
The new tablet version of Flipboard is a great addition for the site
since the phone app didn’t work well on tablets and often had incorrect
text formatting, making it difficult to read. This new version makes
Flipboard even easier for users to keep up with all of their important
information. This promises to become a popular app for anyone who likes
to be organized and doesn’t want to miss out on the news and important
items from their social networks.
