Flipboard 2.0 released [Review]

If you're one of 50 million Flipboard users, this news is about you. But if you are one of 6.95 billion people who do not use Flipboard, it may still seem interesting to you, which is why you will immediately be transferred to another camp.

I will not be sarcastic. Under the cat review Fipboard 2.0, which appeared today in the App Store and is waiting for its high point on Google Play.

What is Flipboard?

All the best to describe the program in its time succeeded Computerra:

The essence of the application is that it picks up your subscriptions in Google Reader, news from Facebook and Twitter and makes of them a beautifully laid out electronic journal. As a result, you have in your hands a well-designed news publication, created especially for you.

What's new in Flipboard 2.0?

The list of changes is small but interesting:

1. Updated design: more items, more pictures



From myself I’ll add that in the iPad now (finally) the search looks fine, and you don’t need to search for it for 10 minutes.



2. You can create your own journal



This is done very simply. In any article, you need to click on the button with a plus image, add a title and description of the journal. And, in fact, post there anything. Thus, you get your own edition, which you can even brand. You just need to send a request.

Naturally, you can subscribe to your journal and search for you in a search by key request. For example, I created a magazine about pagers, there will be published all the most relevant information about pagers - so subscribe.

By the way, as usual, developers gave preference to devices on the iOS platform, but it is also clear - marketing and wage schemes imply just such a development scenario. I think in the next week or two Flipboard 2.0 will appear in the Play Market, but for now Android users can download version 1.9 .

PS It seems that with the advent of Flipboard 2.0, support for Android 2.3 and below will disappear, so I strongly recommend downloading version 1.9 for backup.

PPS Once again I ask for help - the best thanks are the benefits to karma. The rating grows, and karma only falls. Villains do not like the speed and relevance of the reviews?
