Flipboard can be used more like a weekly journal and less like a newspaper. Since Medium has put up a paywall, Flipboard has become my go to place for in depth articles.

Flipboard's logic eludes me. What is the point of having a news aggregator page that you can't personalize? I mean, for real. That is exactly why I want to leave Google News.

The web version doesn't have a dislike button to help me get rid of content I'm not interested in. Only the app has that, but I prefer to read news on the computer rather than on the small phone screen. So I keep getting articles about sports and cooking, even though I didn't follow anything related to these topics. I can still click on the topics I follow and read articles from there, but the main news feed is more or less useless.

Fantastic options allowing you to weed out content you don't care about.

Yet another chunk of crapware installed on my Android phone that I can't get rid of.

It truly allows for a personalized news feed. There is so much content that it never gets boring.

What used to be my favourite place to read news articles and interesting bits has not become relegated to third or fourth place. I feel like the old Flipboard was much better. The recent changes have made it less customizable and the content less curated and more random. The algorithm that is choosing what I see and what I don't see is not really doing the app many favours.
