Flipboard: Your News Magazine

You're using Flipboard for years and one day, you discover that they just blocked your account for no reason. You'll loose all your personalized settings, magazines.. which require lot of time to set up. You will next try to send email to support team, as suggested by the app, but unfortunately the mail address is unavailable, they moved to a contact form. OK you'll try this way 4 times as I did but you'll never get any answer. Flipboard team just don't care about you. They focus on ads.

My go to news app for many years but no longer for me. The complete bombardment of ads on every inch of the screen including obnoxious video ads completely ruin the experience of this app. I understand the need for ads but the implementation is terrible and completely defeats the usability of the app. Such a shame but ultimately if you can't enjoy the experience there's no point in keeping an app.

I wish I could turn off "suggestions". I really just want to control what i see and I'm not interested in robots trying to help me figure out what i like and don't like. After reading through some of the privacy policy, I also wish I had more privacy control. Why does flipboard need to access my contacts? Setup was also glitchy. All of my interests were overwritten and I had to re-select them.

Enjoy the app a great deal. Best features include the ability to Follow Magazines/ Topics and file articles away to read later. Suggestion: Add a folders feature to the 'Following' page so magazines can be grouped by topic. Sometimes i hesitate to follow more stuff because the Following page becomes too congested and too annoying to organize. If i could create separate folders for topics that interest me that world be great. I think others would love this feature as well.

Too many UI issues. Device auto rotation closes the app. You can't read or watch anything in landscape. Sliding right in the app closes it, so you can only go forward in a slide show, if you try to go back one slide, the app shuts down. Really dumb.

It all started out good. I was checking the areas of interest & then I got to the section where I had to choose between liberal or conservative news. Call me stupid, but I would prefer to have neutral news, fact-based news, good and bad news. I'm a grown up. I can take it. Absolutely incredible that this would even be an option from a news app.

Disappointing. Fewer and fewer people use this app, so there are fewer flips and fewer stories. Plus, their notifications are super annoying. And lately there are a good 5 or more a day. I've used this for 7 or 8 years but in the last year or two, I feel like this app is irrelevant and a bit bias too. Not like it was, that's for sure.

App won't open. Error message says there is a bug &developer needs to update. Tried uninstalling & reinstalling. Like others reviewed this app has been increasingly frustrating which is sad as I deliberately read news from a wide variety of resources across the spectrum and it was nice to have it in one place. If this major bug isn't fixed quickly will have to look for alternative to get news timely.

It seems like Flipboard must have recently dropped any right of center news sources. That's a shame since this app was always a good way to keep up with a broad spectrum of reporting. I hope they will correct this error in judgement

Relevant content and great organization, but the ads take up way too much screen space and there is no on-screen option to close or minimize them. The articles are constantly re-setting themselves with unannounced and unexplained blank screens the further you read along. This is not a customer support issue, but rather a design issue, the kind of low-quality development you would expext from a tabloid app. Just another example of the dumbing down of society.

For the last month, for some reason, Flipboard started intermittently playing a very annoying tune. It used to be my go-to news app but has gotten so annoying I don't use it much at all, anymore, after it being my favorite for a few years.

I've been using Flipboard for a number of years now. I would give it 5 stars but I've been struggling with it. On my Galaxy Z fold3 the app doesn't seem to be stable. The very worst thing that happens is if I need to hold to another screen, when I go back to the app will start all over and I always loose whatever page is open at the time. If I want to read anything else. I would love to have it fixed

Flipboard Support problems: Quit closing my support requests. Once again: Why did you close my last support request? It wasn't finished. Thanks for the information about their link in their RSS. You didn't address the problem I reported: "The Flipboard app displays that I have flipped an article into a magazine although the Flipboard app did not flip an article into the magazine. The Flipboard app should have displayed the article was not flipped into a magazine.". Please fix your app.

Installed twice on note 10 . App freezes on article and nothing loads .its on a fresh phone restore. Please dont ask or say we are sorry and to reach out to flipboard . We are not here to do beta testing for free. Since our data is being sold at least fix your app . And the ads are just ridiculous 🙄. There is right way to do ads and than there is flipboards way of handling where you wanna smash your phone way .

Great way to get content. But the bugs are horrible. Often it gets in a state where no articles will load. Sometime it will kick you out of an article randomly. If you put the phone down and it goes to sleep, you are kicked back to the top of the article list and have to find the article again. I want to like it, but what a pain to use.

Doesn't do what it says it will do - not send notifications, mute sources, no way to send feedback. Turned off all the notifications but still get notifications. Annoying, like having a fly always buzzing you. I've muted a number of sources, but I still get feeds from muted sources. Tried to send feedback through their help icon, but after typing in my feedback, there was no send button and the only other available option was the back button, which deleted my feedback and didn't send it.

This was a great app, till it "stopped" allowing you to pick your chosen categories. If you try to have flipboard look for only 1 particular category, it does everything but that. I tried to "show less like this" and it does less than nothing. This app is pure media bias. I wish they weren't such propaganda pushers...

Too many ads to a point that's annoying. More ads than content. Some of the news you need to subscribe which is a complete waste of time. The news word search is complete useless, only search for individual words. In summary it's worthless.

Articles won't open when I select them, so I have to view the article on the web. Flipboard constantly updates when adding new articles, but those updates may cause older articles to stop opening for those who may have been in the process of flipping through stories. Please update the app to fix this issue.

Update: My name is Toby, not Tony, and thanks for the reply. If customer support doesn't assist via live chat then why is this an option on the app?Very misleading and frustrating. Original post: Cannot get in touch with support. The bot couldn't answer my question and when I chose the prompt to talk with a human the support quit responding. No human OR bot. Very bad customer service. Deleted for this reason.

Can hold your interest for long periods of time. But I'm ditching this app. Too many headlines that scream leftist, communist, Marxist ideals. It would be fine if there were equal numbers of articles that aren't so leftist. The app works fine, it's easy to read and navigate if you don't mind the brainwashing I guess it's a good app otherwise.

Your terms of service say you do not condone and take steps to prevent abusive language. News flash, that's all that happens in your comments sections. Also, if you think I'm going to agree to forced arbitration, you can take those terms of service and shove it up your rectal cavity. New addition; I have the setting checked to load pictures but not videos. However videos in news and adds still load, and your chat helper feature is nonfunctional. 1 star

Great app, but the widget picture keeps on disappearing, replaced by a black screen. Also does not refresh automatically. Tried all setting, updated app etc. Still can't get it right after years of updates!

Great source for a wide variety of news, updated frequently. You can select a bunch of different areas of interest when you setup the app for the first time. Update January 2022: Very frustrated with the app. Many times right in the middle of reading an interesting article will get kicked out and returned to the homepage. Ads are becoming so abundant that some links are unreadable. Too many clickbait links require a subscription.
