Flipboard update: Pinch-to-zoom full screen images on tablet.

My favorite news reader on Android, Flipboard is a beautiful magazine-like app for Android phones and tablets. With Flipboard you can naturally flip through the news like you would do with a paper-based magazine. You can, obviously, connect to your Facebook and Twitter account or your favorite news source.

The latest update to the app brings some nice features for a better experience on the tablet with the ability to pinch-to-zoom images on tablets. A logical addition, but one that should have been there from the start. To me the most interesting novelty in this update is that users who do not have a Flipboard account will now be able to change push notifications options in settings.

Check out the change log for more info:
- Now you can pinch-to-zoom full screen images on tablet.
- People without a Flipboard account can change push notifications options in Settings.
- Emojis are now compatible everywhere inside the app.
- More bug fixes.

FlipBoard is available free to download here.

  1. Flipboard only launched its Android app recently. The app allows users to browse through their Facebook, Twitter and Google+ streams, as well as Google Reader feeds in a beautiful flipping manner. It also consolidates and curates a stream of important stories for those who are too busy to go through everything. As a blogger, using this app and browsing through interesting news content daily will give you fresh ideas on what to write about in your next blog post.
