Steps to Download Flipboard for PC (Windows XP, Vista, 7) Since we don’t have a version of the application that is supported by computers, we are going to use an app player to install the application. Flipboard is a “personalized social magazine” app for the iPad that aggregates nine of your favorite online media sources, grabs content from links posted on those sites or by your friends on.
Mystery Shopper #3, New version doesn't open The latest version opens for a millisecond and then quits. I'm running iOS 9, and even tho info says it's compatible with iOS 9, I suspect that's the problem. Unfortunately, unlike MacOS, there is no way for me to go back to the previous version. Flipboard, I will miss you. UPDATE ON JUNE 6 - Hi, Developer!
Thanks for your response. Right before I wrote the above review, I tried deleting whatever version of Flipboard I had on my phone, and then reinstalling it from the App Store.
It still didn't open. But then I tried downloading again a few minutes ago and BINGO! The app opened right up, just like the good old days. I don't know which version I had a few days ago and which version I have now, and quite frankly I don't care. All I know is that Flipboard is working again and that makes me rather happy. I am changing my rating from one star to five stars, to reflect how much I enjoy using this app.
I've got a whole bunch of 'news aggregator' apps on my phone because I'm a news junkie, but this is my favorite. Welcome back, Flipboard!

It’s in my top 5 most used iPad apps!!!! If you have not tried this app, you must try it out! It's very graphical and pretty on my retina iPad and my 12.9” iPad Pro. Generally works very smoothly. Could cache the data a little better / faster, I've got fast internet at home, but sometimes it's slow updating and if I just spent a while reading the last entry, seems like it could read ahead a little bit, it could make the experiences so much better. BUT be careful if you have a cellular connection! FlipBoard (being so graphical and beautiful) is a HUGE a data hog (assuming you're viewing something graphical and not text) so if you're on a low data plan be careful.
I used over 10% of my 250MB data plan in less than 5 minutes (I tested this again at the end of this month, just a few minutes and 50MB of data was gone!). This is NOT a flaw, it's just the way super graphical apps are, but it goes SO fast I wanted to point it out. Because of the retina display it 'shrinks' some graphics too small (like animated GIFs in Tumblr pages) and it's too hard to read. Needs some user adjustment on that (what size to shrink to retina proportions) and to size text.
It shrinks things WAY too far on the iPad Pro. It’s got a great search option that searches a variety of sources all at once. I don't think it's as useful on the iPhone for browsing, maybe if you went to a specific section, but I'm still not sold on that yet.
