@gollyjer It can assuming our search can find the RSS feeds. (If it can't, let me know and I may be able to help.) And, actually, one way that Flipboard is even better than @Feedly is that with the new Custom Smart Magazine feature you can incorporate RSS feeds with any publicly available social feed such as a Twitter handle or hashtag, a YouTube channel, a SoundCloud channel and more. How cool is that?! cc/ @mmccue@flipboardjack
@filipmares To create one, go to your profile, select the "Magazines" tab, and then select "Make a New Magazine", or on Android tap the red button in the lower right of the Magazines tab. Then select "For reading specific sources" and try searching for the Twitter handle there. Search for it with or without the @ sign, then tap "Social" for social results. Lmk if you still have trouble!

@miaq@filipmares The Play Store only has Flipboard 3.4.15. I can't find any of the options you mention so I assume I'm not on 4.0 yet. I also don't see any way to add a Twitter account feed or RSS on the website. I must be missing something. :/

Woohoo! I've got a renewed love for Flipboard... and another place to safely target my Trump-angst. I L♥VE renaming articles and putting them into my own magazines!!!

My challenge with Flipboard was keeping my sources well-curated and efficiently catching up with news in my industry. I know the rest of the world has moved on, but I still find RSS readers (currently Feedly) to be the best at this. But this update intrigues me, as I've found a number of sources where I choose to be more indulgent and this might work well with them.
@bguenther Let us know what you think. I also wanted to let you know about a less prominent but very useful new feature in this release called custom smart magazines. They allow you to mash up Flipboard magazines and profiles, RSS feeds, and third-party social feeds (e.g., Twitter, 500px, etc.) into a single, totally custom smart magazine. To create one, go to your profile, select the "Magazines" tab, and then select "Make a New Magazine", or on Android tap the red button in the lower right of the Magazines tab. Then select "For reading specific sources" to get started.
Flipboard has always been my favorite news reader. If you wanted to try it out, this is the upgrade you have been waiting for. Here is why you will love it: you get a continuous beautiful flow of community curated content on the topics you care about. Flipboard contains content from professional news sources (no fake news) and awesome blogs that are automatically sourced for you. You can just sit back and read. Or create your own custom magazines that you can share or just use privately. At times, we all get tired of the politics filling our FB and Twitter feed. Flipboard is your chance to read about breakthroughs in science, the arts, tech or sports. Turn off the noise and enjoy!

How about the ability to mute/hide certain sources? I've found that in many news aggregation apps, there are certain sites that have done a good job at finding a way to always be surfaced. But I like diversity in the sources of news that I read!
@nicolaslloyd When you are flipping through any list of stories, just tap the three dots in the bottom corner of the screen. You will see a "Less Like This" option in that menu, and you can mute the source of that article directly from there. Let us know if you have any trouble finding it.
