Flipboard for Android

Professey Chin

Dunno how many people will find this useful but someone extracted it from the GS3 on Xda.
Tested it on my One X and it works perfect but Ive no idea of the requirements for it.
Works pretty well, very flippy and pretty but I dont find it the most practical to use!

Pretty Social & RSS feed. You pick subjects and can add your FB and twitter accounts then flip through it all (literally). Can set stuff to Read Later too

Just shows how pointless it was for this being a GS3 "Exclusive" tbh.

Thanks though will give it a try out

Will give it a go for the Galaxy Nexus...

[EDIT] Works Perfectly for the GN

Tried it on the Sensation. It's a serious piece of eye candy. Not a bad news feed either.

Pretty nice, works flawlessly on the Xperia S(1280x720 screen is perfect for it).

Working well on my ****ty Wildfire S... cm9

Perfect on the DHD with IceColdSandwich, installed app with astro

Installed to SD card by default, move to internal storage, restart phone, widgets will be available.

Works a treat

On a similar note... for those who who want to be able to play a video while browsing the internet e.t.c., buy Stick It off Google Play. It allows you to play as many videos you want from any source you want including Youtube. It's not a new app either, it's been around for some time.

Strange that it doesn't let you add your Google Reader account like the iOS version.
Being ... y'know .. Android and all.

Nice find.

I dont see any widget for it though, do we have to wait for the official release to get this? Installing on a HOX btw.

The option is there alright (albeit a bit hidden) - doesn't seem to be working though.

Scoured the app last night but couldn't find it - how do you get to it ?

On the list of feeds, click 'more', then click the back button. It's under the Accounts heading. Doesn't seem to work though....


edit: scrach that, it's working. Whole app is very slow on my SGS though.

In case anyone is wondering, to get the widget to work just move the app to the phones internal storage.

Anyone else have a problem where it keeps losing the settings? Close it and open it again and it's looking for me to start over

Works a dream on my Galaxy Nexus, really liking the app, thanks OP

Anyone else having the white screen issue?

App works great but anytime I click on the link to read the article, the screen goes white after a few seconds. Pity as it makes a great app useless really.

No such issue on my S2. Working fine.

Got this working fine on my Samsung galaxy s and Acer tab. One problem however. Does anyone know why my twitter and Facebook streams are only showing around ten tweets/statuses. Makes it pretty useless at the moment.

thebman

Tried it, I prefer Pulse to this.
