Gary LaPointe,
Beautiful program for reading information from on-line. It’s in my top 5 most used iPad apps!!!!
If you have not tried this app, you must try it out!
It's very graphical and pretty on my retina iPad and my 12.9” iPad Pro. Generally works very smoothly. Could cache the data a little better / faster, I've got fast internet at home, but sometimes it's slow updating and if I just spent a while reading the last entry, seems like it could read ahead a little bit, it could make the experiences so much better...
BUT be careful if you have a cellular connection! FlipBoard (being so graphical and beautiful) is a HUGE a data hog (assuming you're viewing something graphical and not text) so if you're on a low data plan be careful. I used over 10% of my 250MB data plan in less than 5 minutes (I tested this again at the end of this month, just a few minutes and 50MB of data was gone!). This is NOT a flaw, it's just the way super graphical apps are, but it goes SO fast I wanted to point it out.
Because of the retina display it "shrinks" some graphics too small (like animated GIFs in Tumblr pages) and it's too hard to read. Needs some user adjustment on that (what size to shrink to retina proportions) and to size text. It shrinks things WAY too far on the iPad Pro.
It’s got a great search option that searches a variety of sources all at once.
I don't think it's as useful on the iPhone for browsing, maybe if you went to a specific section, but I'm still not sold on that yet...

“Comments”
Flipboard is great. However...they may want address how many user comments are legitimate thoughts written by actual readers. Many comments connected to articles appear to be written by users with little or no flips, likes, or magazines...perhaps indicating no real investment into the app or no desire to actually read articles...they only want a venue to
help foster disagreements. Many of these comments look purposely incendiary. Considering that many of these articles go on to be posted on Facebook or Twitter, Flipboard may want to do its part to curb bots and “fake news” and encourage legitimate discussion rather than fostering division. Commenters who actually have flips or magazines are few and far between, indicating an overwhelming number of commenters are not real accounts. Flipboard, please solve this, you have a responsibility to NOT contribute to division.
Addition: The comments are now even more prevalent and, if you can believe this, more negative and divisive from both sides. These commenters haven’t even read the articles! It’s ridiculous! These are definitely bots or trolls meant to drive up anger. Flipboard replied to my last review that I could “report” these users. Are you kidding me!?!? I’d have to report ALL of them on every article. How is this responsible of you as a company?!?! What are you doing to curb this besides putting it on the onus of your legit users to “report” every single fake user?!?!

Good concept, annoying execution
I’ve been using Flipboard for years, and despite its issues, I’m too invested in it to move to a different platform, but I have to confess a glaring functional flaw. The auto refresh function is a huge disadvantage. Obviously, a refresh feature is something one wants for a media aggregator, but it’s extremely problematic in this case. It’s a frustrating pain when you see an article you want to read, but can’t find it after reading another article beforehand. But that inconvenience pales in comparison to the worst aspect: I cannot recall how many times I had to put my phone down in the middle of reading a long piece, and when I pick it up to resume reading, Flipboard has done a complete refresh, and if I can find the article at all (often I cannot), it takes a long, frustrating time. This is a major flaw for anyone who has the attention span required for articles which take longer to read than the length of a TikTok video. Really, there should be an option to have the application only refresh when it opens anew (as opposed to being tabbed back to from another application), or when the user directs it to. A long overdue functional amendment.
Awesomesauce. ,
Really disappointed. Many limitations for customization
I was looking for an app to provide me customized news based on my preferences. It was exhausting seeing negative news all the time either about coronavirus or politics that I wanted an app that can deliver me news just on a particular topic like art or design. Not that I don’t keep myself informed on other sources but I wanted to customize this news app to inspire creativity. I was excited when I saw that Flipboard does have the capabilities to customize but this is also its downfall. Even while just browsing the art or design tags, I still received news on my boards about politics or other topics I wasn’t interested in. I knew this would be a possibility because some news items may also be tagged that way based on the article’s content. However, I tried to customize it further by using the “less like this” option. Regardless of how many times I have selected “less like this” of a certain topic, it still comes up day after day...despite those same exact keywords showing up as an option to see “less like this.” I really tried and gave this app a good few weeks but unfortunately, I’m off searching for a new app.
therickaustin,
Could be improved
Flipboard is my go-to app for all things news. One of my top five apps. But a couple things I find frustrating and would love improved. First when I find something that is interesting, start reading and have to stop midway - when I get back to it the app reloads and not only have I lost the article but the real problem is you cannot effectively search and find the article I was reading. Search seems to only find magazines and other categories but not content - the most important function search should perform. Second - I cannot seem to rid myself of junk I do not want to see - no matter how much show-less I select just cannot stop nonsense from showing up. And lastly I want to block content that requires a subscription that I do not and never will subscribe to - very annoying. Cannot seem to figure out how to stop being frustrated seeing an interesting title then be blocked. I just want to block all content from that source. Again - love the app but the above make it just okay when it could be so much more. Thanks for listening.
Fairfax Reader,
Update: Fixed Years of curating wiped out in update
I’m leaving my original review below in an effort to provide transparency to anyone else experiencing this issue. I love Flipboard. Probably my most used app. Have used for years and years. I was really upset when the recent upgrade eliminated all of my feeds. Dropped my usage to almost zero. Posted a review here and this evening was alerted that the developers responded to my review and it let me know there was an update.
As of now all of my feeds are back and it’s the same old news feed that I know and love. What a relief. Thanks for being so responsive and fixing whatever went wrong. Updating my review to reflect how much I enjoy the app and especially the responsiveness of the developers.
Flipboard was probably the first app I downloaded on my very first iPad. I’ve spent years curating which feeds I wanted to follow and as of this week”s update, it is all gone. All of my magazines are wiped out. Worthless after the latest update.

MattZombieBear,
When will “Sign in with Apple” be available for Flipboard?
Love the app, but any five star app need “Sign in with Apple”.
Displaying a Sign in with Apple button in your app or website means that people can sign in or sign up with just a tap using the Apple ID they already have, and skip filling out forms, verifying email addresses, and choosing passwords. Sign in with Apple provides a new, more private way to simply and quickly sign into apps and websites while giving people a consistent sign-in experience they can trust and the convenience of not having to remember multiple accounts and passwords. In cases where you choose to ask for a name and email address, people have the option to keep their email address private and share a unique, random email address instead. For developer guidance, see AuthenticationServices.
Sign in with Apple makes it easy for people to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID and has two-factor authentication built in for an added layer of security. Apple does not use Sign in with Apple to profile users or their activity in apps.

hintofsilence,
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.
mo398,
Need fixing
I wish flip board would bring back the bar at the top of the screen. I constantly have to exit the app to check the time or to see how much charge my battery is at. I get that you want to make a more “enriching” or more “ immersive” experience. But it’s annoying, and now with the latest update the default board is “for you” and I don’t like that. I want to see the news and what’s happening not what flip board servers have decided what I might be interested in. Use to love this app now it’s just going down hill fast.
Edit: after your response I was able to get the status bar back (after the app crashed 7 times) but it’s working now. Also the other point I was trying to make is that I don’t want the feed that you all are forcing on everyone. I don’t want/I don’t need you all (or your sever) deciding what content I want to see. I want you to just show me content and I’ll scroll through and read what I want to. Why do companies think that they get to choose and limit what we can see? Sure it’s “optimized” but really? From what I’ve seen the optimization is crap, and it doesn’t show me anything that I actually want to read anymore.

Brt Grt,
Just keeps getting worse.
Flipboard has completely fallen to the “curated” and ad-driven model that has made this app no longer worth using. I used to love the convenience of being able to connect to multiple sources of news and articles in one place. I have many interests and do not follow a particular political party or ideology. Now, when I happen to read some articles that do fit a certain category, I get bombarded with more of the same. I go to an aggregator to have one place to look at a lot of different things, not to see the same type of content every time I look there. On top of that, if you don’t want to see certain ads anymore, the best option is to not touch or give any feedback on them. I’ve reported one site’s ads as being deceptive well over 20 times and they have become even more prevalent. If all I need is an API to connect to multiple sources, I can do that myself and at least only deal with the native ads from now on, and not have the content be narrowed to fit imagined categories that some statistical model says I should fit in.
