I have been using Flipboard since it first came out and is one of my favorite apps that is now truly cross-platform…it’s also available for iOS, Android, and even BlackBerry. Subscribe to a site and it creates an instant digital magazine with the latest news and updated. It will continuously be updated, and is a good way to keep up with the latest news about, well, anything throughout the day on your mobile device.įlipboard is a lot like an RSS reader like Feedly, but has a more stylish interface that’s easy to customize. Like I mentioned before this version of Flipboard embraces the Metro-style design of Windows, so it also support Snap view to read stories side-by-side with other apps.If you’re not already familiar with Flipboard, it allows you to create your own magazine about any subject that’s available on the web. Just swipe from the bottom up, and you find commands like subscribe, refresh, or pin to the Start screen.

You can “flip” (swipe) your stories like in a magazine, tap items to view them, you can tap “Discover” from the top bar to find even more content, and of course you can add your publications and search stories.įlipboard also has more options, which are easily accessible from the Windows 8.1 App commands. You have your Cover Stories section with content you’re subscribed to, the other sections are populated with content you’re interested in. Once you’re all set up configuring the app, browsing and discovering new content is as you would expect from Flipboard in iOS or Android.

As such this version comes with support for Snap view and Live Tile, so you can pin your favorite sections to the Start screen too. When you first set up the popular content discovery app, you’ll notice that shares a lot of similarities with the Android and iOS version, but this new version of Flipboard has been tailored to match the look and feel of Windows 8.1. Flipboard finally arrives to Windows 8.1 and you can download it today from the Windows Store.
