All Things D reporting:
One of the best ways of following topics that are interesting to you
is Flipboard, a popular app for Apple and Android mobile devices that
automatically turns social-network posts and news from online
publications into beautiful, magazine-like pages you “flip” through by
swiping.
Now, a new second generation of Flipboard, out Tuesday, is extending
the app so it allows users to create and share their own handsome
digital magazines with a few clicks and without any design talent
required. If you make your magazine public, anyone with Flipboard, which
is a free app, can read it and comment on it.
I’ve been testing this new version of Flipboard, which has some other
improved features, over the past week or so, on several iPads and an
iPhone. My verdict is the new features make a great mobile app even
better. There are some limitations to the new capabilities, but they
make your mobile device more personal and more of a creative tool,
rather than just a means of consumption. For now, the new version is
only available for Apple’s devices, but an Android edition is in the
works.
