| 2024-11-21 |  | | Too many ads! Everytime I click to read an article at least 2-4 ads on different areas of the page pop up. I can't even get through a single article without having to stop and "X" out of the ad that blocking me from reading the article. I'm ready to delete this app and go back to Smartnews. |
| 2023-09-02 |  | | Great app if you don't mind ads literally covering up the content you're trying to read! And it keeps getting worse! The ads are placed right in the way of the articles! When you try to x out of the ad, most of the time it opens the ad content anyway. I understand the need but they're way more intrusive than need be! Please stop! The ads have gone from bad to unbelievably worse! The response is "the ads are out of our control".... Well someone should control it because this app is now unusable! |
| 2023-03-18 |  | | I still love the app, but it is getting really annoying lately. It keeps restarting after I read 10 or so articles. It does in the middle of flipping and goes all the way back to the beginning with no option to continue where it left off. Also, more and more providers require that you subscribe. It's not a Flipboard problem, but it is something you need to be aware of. |
| 2022-12-15 |  | | Customizable personal news. They give you what you're interested in so I can make the best use of my time. ******* Update ****** It's getting to be annoying that it keeps popping up stories I don't care for and there is NO WAY to turn it off even I repeatedly choose ”Show less like this”! ***** 12/15/2022 ***** Don't like the extra steps to add caption before choosing and adding into existing magazine. It's a good idea but wrong execution. |
| 2022-10-18 |  | | Never really works very well, not worth the effort to try to get it to work. The app used to work without a tracking account, but these days it requires you to sign in and be tracked even if you don't want to do anything requiring an account. App is buggy as can be, often resetting to the home screen while scrolling through articles, or resetting to the home screen in the middle of reading an article. |
| 2022-10-05 |  | | Updated: how the mighty have fallen. Long, long ago when the board used to actually "flip", this was a great app. Now, sadly, the widget doesn't even update on Android at scheduled intervals, the elegance is long gone, and commercial / social interest has diluted its charm. Best advice would be to go back to basics and what made it work. - - - Cheers to what is quite possibly the most elegant and intuitive news & information app ever conceived. Hands down, the premiere showcase app on my GS3. |
| 2022-02-16 |  | | Every few mins, "Continue where you left off..." Why have nav buttons where people can accidentally hit them all the time while scrolling? Truly idiotic. I no longer recommend this app to anyone. Please move the nav "Home...etc" back to the top. 6/2021 comments: Though it is good you added the "continue where I left off" popup, it wouldn't be necessary if you'd just move the nav buttons to the top of the page as it was before. |
| 2021-11-10 |  | | Horrible. I really liked flipboard until they started running ads that prevent you from reading the content last week. The last time I tried I had at least 6 ads in a row, each at least 30 seconds long, and everytime the new ad started, the text of the article would disappear. I only had about 5 seconds between ads to try and read anything. I gave up after 6 ads. I can find my news elsewhere. |
| 2021-10-31 |  | | Excellent app if you enjoy ads covering most of the screen, trackers galore, more ads and a little news here and there if you can get to it without accidentally tapping on one of the ads. Flipboard used to be great but now it's more frustrating than anything else. I do like the comment sections for each article but as for its primary purpose, it's a mess. |
| 2020-11-22 |  | | After repairing the hang and empty magazine problems Flipboard again, briefly, became my go-to "newspaper" app even though it occasionally hangs. Recently, Flipboard videos have stopped playing on my Galaxy S10, lead-in stories freqently leave no path to the rest of Flipboard and most of the news headline story links walk me hard into a Paywall. Add the bugs that have plagued this program from the day I first started using it and I am, again, OUTA here! |
