Best app! Period.

I use this app more than any other. Beautiful display!

Best App Ever Created

Best app, I can never imagine myself using my iPhone or iPad without this app, the people at Flipboard know what theyre doing!

"Its easy like Sunday morning"

This App is so comfortable to use. And the myriad of stories to choose from is fabulous. This one is a keeper for sure!

I miss ZITE

I miss the layout of Zite, the way one could navigate for different sites, such as "Good News". I dont enjoy being asked to signed up to different news blogs to get the full story.

Just another bad reader app

Flipboard has literally made my life worse. It is the Windows Phone of apps. They should have shut it down and moved everyone to Zite instead of vice versa.

major battery drain

30 mins of Flipboard uses 3x the battery that 30 mins of other apps use (Facebook, Tumblr, Imgur, etc). 30 mins of Flipboard is equivalent to 2 hours watching streaming videos on YouTube! This thing is a battery hog!

I love it, but....

The return arrow is sometimes at the bottom and sometimes at the top. Very annoying. Put it at the bottom and for consistency, please leave it there. Do that, and its back to five stars.

Add handoff/continuity support

Please add handoff/continuity support between iPhone and iPad. You already support it for Apple Watch to iPhone. It would be great if this functionality was supported between iPhone to iPad.

My daily go to app, works great

Im getting unwanted right-wing propaganda.

Whos sending me garbage posts about how bad Obama and the Democrats are? If I wanted fiction, Id find a different app. Obama has saved this country and the Democratic Party is its greatest hope for the future. Flipboard should cull this crap.

Ho hum content

Used to be useful. Now simply a delivery tool for rubbish ads and teasers for more junk. Real pity because it had potential to be good but no more. Crap app.

Update crashes

Since new update, it doesnt even load up.

One of my favorite apps ever

This app gives you news about things you care about. Every time I open it I am intrigued or fascinated by the articles that Im shown.

Video ads are terrible

New update: Terrible. Flipboard used to be amazing, but now its ad-laden. The 2.0 update remove so much of the contents I followed but I still stay with Flipboard, but lately the ads are out of control. As would pop up frequently but its ok I can just close it. Then there are some that cant be close or keep repopping after you close it. Then now the last draw, video ads. What do you think you are? YouTube? Im putting my boys to sleep, reading on Flipboard, then boom the ads come on and I had my volume at max. Now I will be deleting your app and use Apple News instead. Updated: I really like Flipboard, the flipping motion provides a wonderful experience. However there should be more features akin to Pocket and Instapaper with speed reading and better web browsing. Right now I default to Flipboard for my reading then open in Safari since some pages dont open correctly, then save to pocket for later reading, and finally transfer to Velocity to speed read. Thats a lot that could easily all be done in Flipboard. 3-Star: The video ads are so annoying that I have to move to google newsstand.

Used to be great

Used to be a great app. Crashes frequently now. So frustrating, sadly, may have to give it up.

Really a Good Looking App...

...but, there is a definite lag in retrieving articles. I see articles in Feedly that dont show up in Flipboard until the next day. Some sites never update. Refresh does nothing.

Great app if youre a drone

This app has the ability to be great. It gives you articles to read and offers the ability to tailor your feed. However, your picks of "more like this" or "less like this" has zero influence. Ive tried again and again and even wrote to Flipboard without any viable fix. Dont waste your time unless you want to read only the articles Flipboard wants you to read.

I miss Zite

Flipboard is clumsy and unpredictable. The stories is displays are boring and routine. Zite was so much better. But alas, Flipboard bought and killed it. Whats new....

Stumbling at the 1-yard line

Flipboard has the walled garden disease. Everything works pretty well as long as you stay in the walled garden, but God forbid you want to interact with something outside the wall. Clearest example? Try saving an article to Evernote. Now, go look at the garbage that Flipboard drops into Evernote. Its a flip.to link to the article, not the article itself. Youll never be able to use evernote to find that article again. Even inside the garden, Flipboard cant seem to remember if you have flipped past an article or read it already and insists on wasting your time by shoving items in your face over and over and over.

Hate the pop ups

This used to be my favorite app but now every time I start reading an article a video ad pops up. Very annoying and Ive noticed I dont use the app as much as I used to because of the pop ups. It still is a good app with good content but its getting to the point where its not worth using anymore.
