Flipboard is a fully customizable personal magazine for the iOS devices. It uses social media as well as traditional websites to give you exactly the content you want.
With an extremely attractive and image rich interface, Flipboard is immediately impressive. The content page has panels, which can feature anything from Wired to Twitter and Facebook. Tap a panel and the content appears, beautifully laid out very much like a magazine or newspaper. Slide your finger over Flipboard and the page flips over, showing more content.
One of the great things about FlipBoard is that it takes content like a Twitter feed and makes it look fantastic. You can see shared images, articles and video, all put together beautifully. It's one of the best interfaces for reading content you are likely to use, and really makes the iPad especially shine.
While Flipboard looks and feels great, it's not immediately obvious how to add the content you want. Actually, all you need to do is search for the site you like, and the chances are you will be able to add it to Flipboard. It does a good job of organizing content, but are not enough in-depth options to tweak what content is shown.
Flipboard is a very attractive personalized magazine that might just become the killer iPad app for many, and is now available for iPhones too.
