That's an unfortunate side effect of Flipboard not having an article mobilizer for reading content on the go.įlipboard's categorization and magazine-flipping presentation have made it a very popular choice for keeping up with RSS feeds and news, but it has a few flaws that keep it from being the perfect app for that.Correct and open export of bookmarks and tags are not possible This means that Pocket is (currently) a total lock-in.

Overall Opinion: Flipboard is a mobile RSS reader that is designed to change the way we interact with RSS feeds.
