Ratings and Reviews
Terrible design decisions
The removal of editing from mobile has destroyed my workflow. I’ve been thinking of moving for a while to another platform, but this update has done it for me. Medium is greedy and not at all about the content creator, no vanity URLs anymore, terrible stats - the one thing (other than inertia) that kept me here was the editor. I’d write on the desktop, occasionally on the go and then for photo heavy content like I produce, pop to mobile to upload the images direct.
Now I can’t do that and frankly there’s no reason to keep using this software anymore. What a shame.
Developer Response ,
Hi there! We hear you, and we have just released an app update bringing back the mobile editor. It should make its way to your device in the next hours. Thank you for your patience!
On auto pilot
Flipboard used to be a great app, and in some ways still is.
However, much needed improvements have failed to materialize for years on end.
- news filtering / feed customization is absolutely useless
Zite back in the day, used to be amazing in this area.
Since Flipboard acquired them, there was hope hope they would incorporate their technology. Half a decade later, this has not materialized.
Case in point: Despite being an active user and frequently reporting back, I regularly keep getting irrelevant stories in my feeds.
E.g. music news in my cycling feeds, and celebrity news in space science feeds?
- iPad app: dead in the water.
While the iPhone version has seen some minor improvements over the years, none of them have appeared on the iPad.
You cannot create dynamic magazines, you don’t get to mark a report with what is wrong about a story, new UI layout on phone has not been ported over, etc., etc.
- reader mode: on iOS, this essential feature that you get for free via Safari, is still not made available. This makes reading long articles so much easier and is also an essential accessibility feature. It’s a mystery as to why Flipboard is still not adding this.
Loved using this app but I’m done waiting.
Bye, bye Flipboard.
My favorite source of information
My favorite tool for understanding the world in a multi side, unbiased way. The app works very well.
