Flipboard has been an incredibly popular app on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platform, and now the company is launching their app on Windows Phone.
The company launched Flipboard on Windows Phone with the launch of the new Microsoft Lumia 830 smartphone, and now the app is available to other Windows Phone devices.
Compatibility and Availability
Flipboard is now available to Windows Phone devices that have 1GB of RAM or more, and it will work with devices that are running Windows Phone 8.1. This means that a wide range of Windows Phone users can now enjoy the personalized magazine experience that Flipboard offers. The app aggregates content from various sources, including news articles, social media updates, and blogs, presenting them in a visually appealing, magazine-style format.
Features and Design
From its architecture to visual design, Flipboard for Windows Phone includes some great features. As CTO Eric Feng explains, “We’re re-imagining many of our designs and interactions so readers can get to more of the content they care about more quickly.” This re-imagining includes a unique tile-based interface that integrates seamlessly with the Windows Phone design language, making it feel like a native app rather than a port from another platform.
One of the standout features of Flipboard on Windows Phone is its Live Tile support. Users can pin their favorite magazines or sections to their Start screen, allowing them to see updates at a glance without even opening the app. This feature leverages the unique capabilities of the Windows Phone platform to provide a more integrated and efficient user experience.
Additionally, Flipboard for Windows Phone includes a customizable home screen, where users can prioritize the types of content they want to see first. Whether it’s technology news, fashion updates, or travel stories, users can tailor their Flipboard experience to match their interests. The app also supports offline reading, allowing users to save articles and read them later, even without an internet connection.
