Flipboard's navigation is incredibly smooth **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Prashant P. | Quality Assurance Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Flipboard FLEX?** Flipboard Flex is easily accessible and a well-managed application with a minimalist design, It has clear insights over a particular topic with smooth navigation. It provides complete insights of all the information around the globe. Flipboard has a profound list of curated news/articles for people who want to keep quick updates on hot and trending topics. Also, you can be more specific with hashtags or keywords to get into particular categories that might be of interest. You can also select the topic of your interest from dozens of categories including science, fiction, politics, business, and fashion. I Simply loved its features like offline reading, prioritizing content based on the user's interest. Flipboard Flex is completely free with no price tags, available on multiple platforms like IOS, Android, and web version. **What do you dislike about Flipboard FLEX?** Talking about the downside, some of the contents are not easily accessible, users need to sign up for other external websites, to read the full articles. For example, If you want to read news from The Washington Post you need to login to the particular website to gain access to the whole article and this might be annoying for the readers. And a major drawback in Flipboard is- For any particular topic, you can see several similar news stories, so you might be confused on choosing the suitable one to go through. **Recommendations to others considering Flipboard FLEX:** Flipboard Flex is well managed and has a huge collection of news, articles, images, videos, and social networking updates in a single platform. Users can simply create an account with their emails or can get quick access logins with Google, Facebook, or Twitter. Users are able to see cover stories, taking a quick glance over the story highlights, and getting over the trending topics is much easy. Most significantly, Flipboard Flex maintains quality and has thousands of authentic contents updated in real-time. **What problems is Flipboard FLEX solving and how is that benefiting you?** I found Flipboard Flex a prominent platform with much-anticipated content. It features the top news/articles from Business Insiders, Forbes, Vogue, and many more. You can opt to follow any publications of your choice and most importantly you can go with Flipboard Flex's suggestions and discover appropriate content based on your preferences. ### 2.

The app provides personalized content based on what you chose to read. Plus, it is free across devices. **What do you dislike about Flipboard FLEX?** Most of the news is centered around the west, even though you provide your location and interests. There are options to follow hashtags for particular countries, but the general content is tailored for western users. It also lacks an offline-reading feature. **Recommendations to others considering Flipboard FLEX:** Flipboard can be used for all your news needs, but keep in mind that you cannot come across a particular article unless you actively search for it. It isn't google, it's a feed reader. You should add all your favorite sites and magazines as favorites to make sure you don't miss any updates. Keep frequenting the app to be up-to-date on news as they are usually sorted based on either trending or recency. **What problems is Flipboard FLEX solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a great app for reading news from all around the world.
