Give me a paid option
The ads flashing across the page ALL THE TIME are unrelenting and the alerts warning that I have a virus are just not true. I hate this app.
Fantastic
But too many subscriptions
Too much advertising
For little 2 page snippets, you are barraged with dozens of ads, sometimes covering 80% of the screen. All for a one minute article.
Good News App but
Too many freezes
Love this
Fell in love with the app. Makes reading fun, makes articles and the ad filled web approachable. Curating your own magazine is just fresh and I absolutely love the flip mechanic. Really makes engaging with the web a little more analog. Very important for human beings. Great job guys!
Have to close app to not watch long ads
Recently, some links you click on start a 10 or 15 second ad before a video. There is no way to go back without watching or closing the app entirely, and reopening. This happens often enough to be extremely irritating.
Good in theory
Too many pay-walls really earns a failure in execution. Flipboard would be a nice combination with Apple News - it offers such breadth. Alas, much of the added content is null.

Love reader mode!
Best feature is reader mode. No adds or popups. Just lets me read the article in peace.
good, not great
There are a lot of reasons to like this aggregator. There are hundreds of outlets to choose from. It’s easy to tailor your feed the way you like. Creating and sharing magazines is fun. The community is robust if you like chatting about the stories. There are also some reasons not to like it. The app heats up your phone like an oven. It sucks up your data like a Dyson, in 27 days it’s eaten a whopping 31 gigs of data. It scrapes and sells a huge amount of your personal information. And even though it tries to give you options around ads and paywalls the outlets find ways to get you anyway.

Need to get a pop-up blocker as well
You can't read a story without a pop-up blocker on Flipboard cause its coming across what you're trying to read. Not to mention all the worthless repeat stories on Flipboard
There’s better free apps that do the same thing
If you find an article you actually want to read (99% of articles are ads and schemes to impeach Donald Trump - even if you turn political articles OFF) you’ll never be able to actually read it because the pop up spam will make the article disappear completely.
Nice collection of Slop
A grab bag of whatever our AI Overlords decide to throw at us. But there are some gems amidst the mess. Enough apes banging away at keyboards will eventually produce something readable. Not great, probably not good, but amusing enough for us to momentarily forget our Mortality. There are worse things out there.

Flipping Great!
I love this way of getting news and learning. Thank everyone at Flipboard.
Review
Too many stories that need a subscription to continue to read.
Mal
No español

Eu queria ler textos. Pq diabos aparece videos do Youtube agora? Se eu quiser ver Youtube, eu vou no app do Youtube.
E nem vou falar das propagandas…

Leftist bias
Flipboard's leftist bias shows through in the selection of articles and the comments for same are a laughable scrap yard of lowest common denominator idiots from the left.
Really Annoying
This used to be a good app that I used all of the time. Recently it has become so bloated with ads you can’t even read the articles. Even more annoying than that is the videos with sound that all of a sudden pop up. You can’t even read be sitting somewhere quiet and all of a sudden an embarrassing loud video comes on. The app has high ratings but that is before the immense amount of ads and auto playing videos started.

Battery killer
Love the app, but eating 1% of battery per 2 minutes usage on an iPhone16 Pro is too much to ask. Bye for now.
