Memuat Flipboard: The Social Magazine 4.3.22 3

Great source for a wide variety of news, updated frequently. You can select a bunch of different areas of interest when you setup the app for the first time. Update January 2022: Very frustrated with the app. Many times right in the middle of reading an interesting article will get kicked out and returned to the homepage. Ads are becoming so abundant that some links are unreadable. Too many clickbait links require a subscription.

Pretty good overall. The most annoying problem I find are the stories that wont allow you to finish reading unless you subscribe to the publication. This is a complete waste of my time. If the story cant be read without subscription, I am just going to reject it, and will try to remember to never click on any future stories from that source.

Been using this since the beginning. Looks great and has useful content. However, ads have proliferated over time to the point where they are intrusive, block content, and are hard to dismiss. Many articles now require subscriptions. App freezes frequently and will not load articles without having to restart and lose place in the feed. These problems greatly affect usability and I am uninstalling.

This app worked well for a very long time. A few months ago a glitch appeared. On many, if not most, of the news articles only the first page is accessible. Contacting Flipboard about the glitch was not possible from the app. When I finally reached them, they acknowledged the glitch. In the months since I contacted them the glitch persists an no update from Flipboard. I am still looking for an alternative app (not to be confused with an alternative fact ;-)

Please don't take me back to the first story when I go back to the list! This app could be great, but when I use the phone's back button or the one in the UI, about 60% of the time it takes me to the first story on the list. Oh my gosh how frustrating. I have to swipe down to get to the one I came from. Also randomly the stories repeat when you flip through them. I tried Flipboard because Google news sucks so bad (mobile data and battery killer), but I am so frustrated about this seemingly minor thing that makes me crazy!

Frustration! Articles are broken down in tiny segments over multiple pages...and you have to wade through tons of ads to find each "Next" to click on. And then if you get side tracked for very long or your computer flickers u have to start all over from the beginning. The articles, while they may contain useful/interesting content, aren't worth wading through so much. Too often get kicked off or I give up before reaching the end or even to the essence of the article (re the titles"). :(

I used to use Flipboard years ago and it was pretty good. But reading all these reviews about the ads and articles requiring a subscription is a big turnoff to me. It sounds like FlipBoard has gone off the deep end here. Too bad. It used to be a good concept. My guess is that they won't be around much longer. No balance --> BIG TURNOFF! Plenty of other places just like FlipBoard that do this 1,000% better! All these reviews are telling them how to fix the app but they are not listening.

Sooooo....simply put, this app is NOT worth your time. Nor should it be an "Editors choice" While at first it seems amazing, you begin to tire of the constant attack of subscription requests and multiple ad overlays - as well as pages that don't load. Eventually you will tire of even trying to use it. You can delete you cache. You can uninstall and reinstall to your hearts content. It won't matter. The one thing Flipboard isn't interested in is bringing you a solid news experience. $$$$$$$$$$!!!

Ever since my phone upgraded to Android 11, Flipboard constantly freezes. Force stopping doesn't help. Rebooting my phone doesn't work. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to work, then it will only run once. I don't have the issue with my Apple devices, so it is definitely a problem with Android.

This is basically CNN in app form. Wouldn't recommend it at all. Especially if you are looking for a neutral news source. It's utter garbage articles and all clickbaited inaccurate headlines. I honestly can't believe that it has good ratings at all. Though, a lot of them look like bot ratings. Save yourself the headache of swiping away the notifications from this app and just don't install it.
