Flipboard: A Must-Have App

Magazine reading is my guilty little pleasure. I absolutely love it. Flipping through the pages and looking at all the photos and blurbs makes me so happy. Really — it’s the little things in life 🙂
Anyway — I was talking with a few people during my virtual “Lists & Libations” meetup and one of the women mentioned that she’d love to have one place to read all her news, blogs and favorite sites daily. I told her about Flipboard and realized I’ve never mentioned it here on this blog. It’s my #1 absolutely most favorite app of all time because it’s just like reading a magazine — except you pick the content.
As a news junkie — I like to see what’s going on in the world when I drink my green tea in the morning but I don’t have much time to do it. With Flipboard you can choose to include different feeds or channels depending on your interests. I have a feed set up for my Facebook page, Twitter page, Oprah’s website, this blog, and a bunch of news sites. And as I sip — I flip.
Flipboard is available for iPhone and Android but I really love the iPad version best because it feels like a real magazine. It’s a much easier way to scan through Twitter because you can see all the photos that people post instead of having to click on a link. Everything is laid out perfectly and makes it fun and quick to zip through all your feeds.
Whatever your interest you can find a feed for it — travel, style, cooking, etc. And the beautiful design has won this app all sorts of accolades. I should also mention that Flipboard just hit a milestone — 20 million users! Plus they just added video as a feature. Whoa. So if you haven’t used it already — definitely put Flipboard on your must-have app list!
