Flipboard has updated its iOS app to version 2.0. The popular RSS and social media reader allows users to collect feeds in their own Pinterest-like magazines. While there are quite a few updates in version 2.0, the coolest is that Flipboard users can share their personal magazines with other users.
The new magazines feature allows users to collect social media and news feeds in their own “magazines.” For example, a user could have a magazine called “My Entertainment” and it would contain feeds from entertainment sites like movies, comic books, etc. They could call another magazine “All My Friends” and could have it sort all their social media feeds.
Once the user has created a new magazine, it is shared with the Flipboard community, however you can choose to make your magazines private. Check out the full Flipboard 2.0 release notes below. Flipboard 2.0 is a free download.
