Starting today, you can access Flipboard from your desktop. This meant you could flip through thousands of articles about nearly any topic that came to mind, but not when you sat down at your computer and had some time. And by ditching the tiled interface, you're one click closer to reading a story upon opening the app., Flipboard has always fancied itself your personal magazine - a stunningly-designed app that connects to your social networks and gathers articles from all sorts of sources on topics you want to read.Yet, it has only been available as a mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. This makes it easier to navigate to your personal feed, a list of subjects to explore, search, notifications, and your profile. The Android version positions them across the top of the screen. Now, on iOS, the app home screen features the familiar five buttons across the bottom like we see in, say, Instagram. Previously, the app opened with a tiled interface of your Cover Stories and broad categories of interest, with things like search, discovery, and account settings hidden behind a button in the upper right.
The result is an app that provides more opportunity for exploring topics you love, is easier to navigate, and still packages articles in a beautiful way. Today's update makes the smartphone app more navigation friendly, adding a daily digest, and opening straight into the content you're interested in reading. It's also changed from a passive consumption experience to one that lets you curate your own personal collections. That, and the company's recent acquisition of Zite, meant it was long past time for an upgrade to Flipboard's mobile experience.įlipboard 3.0 has expanded beyond iOS to Android and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets.
And though it may have been the original iPad magazine, these days 70 percent of its users are flipping through its smartphone app. Flipboard is the archetype for digital media consumption, packaging stories from thousands of sources into a personalized magazine you flip through with a finger.
