Flipboard – my feature wish list

If you have an iPad and you do not have an app called Flipboard I suggest that you drop whatever you are doing, head to iTunes and download it (it is free). In short it is a social magazine app.

While I love the app and use it all the time, I think there are a couple of things that would make it even better (for me anyways). It is worth mentioning that the current release is the very first version of the app and no doubt the guys working on it are thinking of many exciting features for further releases. Here is my list:

Add my own feeds or sync with Google reader. If I could do that, it would completely replace my RSS reader.

A way to get back to where I was before closing the app – a bookmark of sorts. At the moment it is frustrating that I need to start from the beginning if I close and reopen the app.

Would be great if the “View on the web” and the “Close” buttons were on the bottom corners of the windows, which would make it more in tune with the way I hold the iPad.

If I am viewing an article on the web and there is a video playing in it, currently the video continues to play one I close the window – that’s not quite right.

A setting that lets me remove the comments from each article as they are currently various forms of tweets/retweets, either that or replace them with the comments from the actual post, to me those would be more relevant.

That is about all, I look forward to seeing what the future will bring for this app.

Wow. It's Quiet Here...
