    Flipboard is a great RSS reader, but it's not a news aggregator

    Flipboard doesn't group the articles about the same item from various sources, like Google News does. So I get multiple articles saying the same thing scattered around my news feed.

    Doesn't keep you in the filter bubble. Easier to read with convenient Wikipedia links.

    They give politically diverse sources (labeled) about the same new. I also like they make studies and media literacy courses on media bias.
