Flipboard- A Really Cool App

Well it isn't very often that I find a new app out there that really impresses me.  As many of you know, I have an Apple iPad(4th gen) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.  I consider Google and Apple to be good friends of mine and I don't like to take sides, but Apple is really the standout Tablet.  My apologies to Mark Moore and all you Android people out there.  The apps aren't as good.  But today's App I want to talk about it is available for both Apple and Android.  It is called Flipboard.  
    With Flipboard, you can consolidate all your social media sites including Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, Flickr, and there are also other news and information you can follow.  Each thing you add, makes a little square which when you touch it, it opens to a newspaper-like format that you can flip pages back and forth with.  You can also tap them to see complete articles.  I am happy to say this works just as well for Android as Apple.  It is also available for Kindle Fire and your SmartPhone.  I give it a huge thumbs up.  It really is a one stop shop to keep up with current news and social media.  Highly impressed!

Looks pretty neat but I don't think it looks very fun on the iphone. Would need a large screen. Do you know anyone who has the ipad mini who is happy with it? I don't know if I want the great big ipad.

Flipboard works great on the Kindle Fire which is about the size of a mini iPad.
