App of the week







It's been a while since we've had one of these! Up this week is Flipboard. This has been available as an ios only app up until a couple of weeks ago when it was released as an APK download for android.

So what does it do? Well it's very similar to a number of apps out there (Pulse and Google Currents to name but two) in that it pulls together your feeds and favourite websites to one place for browsing. The caveat with Flipboard is that it has a unique interface, incase you hadn't guessed, like a Flipboard chart. Articles are simplified to maximise the pictures that accompany them and make it overall a more aesthetically pleasing read.

Another handy feature is the ability to add in your twitter and facebook account details to pull in tweets and posts from there. The screenshot below gives a flavour of the app and the link above has a nice demonstration:
