Flipboard is now available for Android
May 9th, 2012
Flipboard is now available for Android (Unofficially) and it equals the iOS version to a fault.The biggest issue I have is that Flipboard ignores Android's share API. If you select share it just gives you an option to tweet. You can also share with one of three read later apps, but that's it. So if you want to share to Google+ or any other service not deemed worthy by Flipboard's developers, you can't. It's also glitchy on my Galaxy Nexus with Force GPU rendering turned on, so if you use that feature to improve performance of other apps you will need to turn it off to use Flipboard. The other issue I have is if it requires the web to load the rest of the article, it opens in Flipboard's limited browser. You can go into the menu to view on web where it will take you to your browser of choice. But I would love the option to turn off the built in browser. |
