New version doesn't open
The latest version opens for a millisecond and then quits. I'm running iOS 9, and even tho info says it's compatible with iOS 9, I suspect that's the problem. Unfortunately, unlike MacOS, there is no way for me to go back to the previous version. Flipboard, I will miss you.
UPDATE ON JUNE 6 -- Hi, Developer! Thanks for your response. Right before I wrote the above review, I tried deleting whatever version of Flipboard I had on my phone, and then reinstalling it from the App Store. No luck. It still didn't open. But then I tried downloading again a few minutes ago and BINGO! The app opened right up, just like the good old days. I don't know which version I had a few days ago and which version I have now, and quite frankly I don't care. All I know is that Flipboard is working again and that makes me rather happy. I am changing my rating from one star to five stars, to reflect how much I enjoy using this app. I've got a whole bunch of "news aggregator" apps on my phone because I'm a news junkie, but this is my favorite. Welcome back, Flipboard!Show lessMystery Shopper #3

Such a great app. Always has my interests & preferences from selected articles or sites from across the web. A "must" on my iPhone.ThisIs_Phil
Flipboard No Longer A Viable App
I have used Flipboard from the time it was introduced. Until it was introduced, I used Zite to look up content for the areas I was interested in. I hated to give up Zite but it was designated for EOL status as an app.
I was happy with Flipboard as it provided me with the content I was interested in. But this all changed about eight months ago. Flipboard's algorithms for finding material has gone downhill. I find articles that no longer fit the areas that I am interested in. Despite numerous emails to Flipboard support, they have done absolutely nothing to improve their algorithms. I have as a selected area of interest, the New York Yankees. I constantly get articles from Flipboard concerning food, perfume, models, football in addition to the expected articles on the Yankees. This is also the case for other areas of interest. I know the app is free but if it doesn’t the content for areas you selected, it is no longer a good app. I decided to write this review before I delete Flipboard from my iPhone and iPad so others can avoid this app.Show lesscharles61
Developer Response
Thanks for your review and appreciate all of your feedback. Since it sounds like you already contacted us, I will bring up your feedback to the team again to see if we can improve our algorithms for those specific topics. We do hope that you give Flipboard another try in the future!Test on older tablets??
I have been using Flipboard for ages. But recently with my iPad Air first gen, Flickering Myth have been awful. Every time you access a magazine article and flip a page it goes onto the next article. The full text is does not even fit to the screen. You have to hold and press the page and move it up to read text that has been cut off the bottom - and this sometimes makes you flip to another article by accident. Most of the other magazines work fine. No idea why this has started to happen. Sorry but can’t rate this any higher as I have always used Flickering Myth for film articles.Show lessTyphooTeaBag
Boutique selection tailored to your interests
Always informative and from reliable sources. I no longer need to read 15 articles to find one of interest. Flipboard does this for me. I check it everyday and yet I gave up news websites years ago. It’s not news it’s evidence based articles of interest from around the World.Dr Bec A
Decent, but has problems
I like the app and use it daily to keep up on headlines. However, the app will sometimes post stories that are literally years old. This has happened multiple times, and Flipboard’s fine-tuning options don’t let you differentiate between new stories and old, they only let you block topics. I’ve tried marking them as “uninteresting”, but I don’t know if they’re getting WHY I don’t care about a story about Tesla’s “new” P85d with Ludacris mode- because it’s 2018 now.
Also, the app will post stories unrelated to the topics you actually want. For instance, I follow College Football. But now I also get stories about women’s college lacrosse and other asinine sports.
I use the app daily, it’s got the sticky factor. But I also get tired of having to skip through a few dozen stories to find one I actually want to read.Show lessizzywizzy88
Fake classification of content
I work in computer science and have been using Flipboard for three years now. Unfortunately the last six months has seen categories dedicated to computer science increasingly peppered with unrelated political stories. Today I opened the first page of Computer stories, and only one of them actually had anything to do with computers. The rest were all heavily Republican slanted partisan political articles that had no business being on the page. Looks like it’s time to find another source that is more honest with its readers.Show lessAppless in Hamilton
