Flipboard for Windows Phone 8.1 Released

Flipboard is a very popular app on Android and iOS and it is a personal magazine where you can catch up on things happening around the world or dive deep into specific topics, from gadgets to grilling. You just need to pick a few categories you want in your magazine. Then tap any tile to read specific things you’ve added or use Cover Stories, a quick way to browse highlights from all your topics.

Flipboard for Windows Phone was announced almost a year back and now it has finally released for Windows Phone 8.1.

You just need to use the search button to add more to your Flipboard. Use search to find iconic sources like CNN, Engadget, Elle or browse a variety of topics handpicked by the editorial team. When you find a source or topic you enjoy, open the app bar to Follow it on your Flipboard and see highlights from that source in your Cover Stories. You can even pin Flipboard sources to your Windows Start screen, creating a shortcut to what you love and want to stay updated on.

Flipboard is also a place to collect stories you like or want to share with others. When you find articles, videos or photos that interest you, use the + button to save it into your own magazines. You can also connect with your Twitter and Facebook account with Flipboard. One of the main features missing on the app is the flip capabilities, but the company says that they are working on a more polished version of the app which is coming soon.
