Flipboard has been my favorite content app for years but in the last couple of weeks it was kinda becoming boring... the recent update though seems to have nailed it, especially because content now seems to make sense again. Lovely work team.

Flipboard 4.0 is a better and actually more useful version of Facebook Paper just like how Spectacles has become a better version of Google Glass.
If you folks having trouble downloading it for android, temporarily use the apk file here: https://flipboard.en.uptodown.co...
Worked perfectly for me
@phimema Thanks Philipp, you're correct. The stories you get are indeed powered by the Flipboard Topic Engine, a direct descendent of Zite’s technology.
@golear Hi Gabe, sorry to hear that. We are still working out a few kinks. Could you try to force close the app and restart? If the problem persists, please email us support@flipboard.com and we'll troubleshoot with you.
I am looking forward to checking this out. I've been both a user and an advocate for quite a long time, but I must say, I've been liking Flipboard less and less. My girlfriend and I have the same problem: The more we use it, the less relevant the articles become. More often than not, my feed is polluted with click-bait and garbage articles. I now switch between Apple News and Medium, in addition to my email subscriptions of Quartz and The Hustle because the quality of content has consistently been higher. But yes, I will try again. Congrats on the re-launch.
@drwolanin Thanks, John. Please let us know how it goes and if you are still disappointed with the content mix, please feel free to email me and we'll take a close look: mia @ flipboard. com
@drwolanin We know what you mean. That was one of the reasons we focused so much of our research for this release on generating highly relevant feeds about the things you care about the most. Your smart magazines will automatically incorporate topically relevant stories from the sources you're already following on Flipboard, so you'll see the stuff you really want to see from the sources you prefer all in one place. As Mia mentioned, we'd love to hear whether we've hit the mark for you.

I've used Flipboard for years and its interface has always been amazingly intuitive. The new version gives the user a fantastic connection to the topics that truly interest them.
@josh_odigie That was our intent. Glad you're enjoying it!

Three minor annoyances... Not a fan of uppercase titles, unclear value of setting a username during onboarding, and auto-focus on search bar for "What's your passion?" screen, popping the keyboard. I'd search if I wanted to, when there's a list to be scrolled first. Otherwise, made me re-signup, looks good.
@ozgurtgultekin A little insight into our decision-making process on one of your annoyances :-) The goal for the What's Your Passion screen was to get people to the things they care about most. We found that when we didn't pop the keyboard, users rarely searched; they would just make do with one of the items in the list. We're working on making the value of username more obvious in 2017. Thanks for giving the app another spin!
