Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
If you find yourself tossing out stacks of magazines and newspapers you’ve saved just to read one article, Flipboard can help organize your reading materials and clean off your cluttered coffee table in the process. Download it and go through a series of categories (health, travel, fashion, movies, etc.) to pick the ones that most interest you.
New update stinks.
I’ve been using Flipboard for many years, and it’s long been my favorite news reader app. That said, this most recent update completely reversed the UI, and for no apparent reason. It’s bad. And a few updates back something broke, and now, if I leave the app for even one second, to respond to a text or lock my phone to order a coffee for example, I lose my place— it’ll close out whatever I’m reading and go back to the intro page. It didn’t use to do this, it’s only been the last few months, and it’s obnoxious to the max. I really don’t love the idea, but if these changes aren’t reversed and things put back the way they were for YEARS, then I’m probably going to switch to Apple News. I don’t want to do that, I’ve always been loyal to Flipboard, but these recent changes serve no purpose other than to frustrate and annoy. Fix it, guys. And while you’re at it, maybe let’s finish the desktop versions of the app as well for Windows, Mac and Linux? I won’t hold my breath on that one, but PLEASE at least undo these terrible changes.
ISO flipboard without the ads
I’ve been a long-time user of this app and loved it, except... The ads have increased to a point where I can’t get articles to load — at all. Or, the font is so small, that I need to expand the view, and then an ad pops up on the same stinkin article and blocks the entire view panel, I have to reduce the size, close the NEWLY added ad to the page, readjust the page view so I can go back to read it. This happens on nearly EVERY article opened anymore. It’s such a PITA, I’m out here on the app store looking for an alternative to Flipboard and leaving this review. I bet I’ve been an almost daily Flipboard user for almost a decade.
IOS user here. I work in tech, work from home, this is not an issue with my home internet/ecosystem or my own hardware, but a Flipboard problem for the ads and page not loading for articles. I’d say this is around 25% of the time currently (article doesn’t load at all). The ads making it so frustrating to read a single article because they move around the text on the page, pop up in the middle of what you’re reading and then have to be closed to re-find where it was you were in the middle of a long article, or sometimes even shoving you back up to the top of the page after the new ad loads — occurs approximately 95% of the time anymore. Even for free, this platform isn’t worth my time anymore.
