The interface is neat, and it works across platforms. Though we think of RSS feeds as pretty boring, like a dull hammer, Feedly is a nice alternative. We really like the interface, too - simple, clean, and lets us scroll rather than flip.įeedly replaced Google Reader for many of us, and it remains one of the better ways to consume information quickly. It all happens via the slide-out menu from the left, and familiar “back” key up top. The difference is interface, which we find to be snappier and easier to navigate. The latter is your Flipboard competitor, and asks that you curate your own feeds - just like Flipboard. Newsstand has both Magazines (subscription, obviously) and My News (Currents, more or less). Rolling it into Newsstand livened it up in regard to functionality. We liked currents, but it was a bit clumsy. They also use mobile push notifications better and gives breaking and the latest news at the right time.When Google rolled Currents into their new Newsstand app, it showed the app’s aim. Although Flipboard gives a better feeling while using the app, Bundle truly localised their news app with local blogs, local newspapers, local columns & opinion writers. I use Bundle for years for a bunch of reasons. Flipboard Android widget still seems old fashioned.The main and only con is that they didn’t localise the app for specific countries.

I can’t find local writers, blogs if they didn’t add their content to Flipboard.User Interface is still the best, and flipping is sexy to consume news.You can pick any country you want so that you can find local magazines and resources.For You section personalises the news you want to see.You can search and follow any topics you want.Flipboard curates the world’s stories so you can focus on investing in yourself, staying informed, and getting involved.
