Once upon a time, it was an everyday experience to buy a newspaper on a street corner. These days we are more likely to read it on our phone’s web browser or download a news app. However, as much as the death of old media has been widely reported, the digital experience has not been perfected either. Toggling between apps to read stories can be cumbersome, and app interfaces are often very dull or overcrowded with stories as designers are uncertain how to best use this virtual space. Over the last couple of years, Flipboard has revolutionised digital news by resurrecting the beauty of magazines.
Flipboard imports all your favourite newsfeeds and converts them to an easy-to-read magazine format that you can then scroll through like the pages of a book. So for the latest headlines, you can subscribe to everything from the BBC to the New York Times. If you prefer features, get music reviews from Rolling Stone or travelogues from National Geographic. If you find a story you want to read later, you can easily save it to third-party apps like Instapaper or Pocket.
But Flipboard isn’t just nostalgic for the printed press, it is also fully connected to social media. You can view all the gossip on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ in this magazine format, as well as view top videos and photos from YouTube and Instagram, liking and sharing stories across this network. All of this makes for a great way to read on your morning commute, or to catch up over coffee at lunchtime, making it an essential everyday app.
