Flipboard Review
by on September 16, 2011
What makes Flipboard so good isn’t just the fact it provides you with a customisable news and social networking hub, but the way in which it’s done. The clue’s in the title – choose one of the pre-installed categories, such as news, and then flip through the selection of articles.
It works smoothly, is beautifully laid out and generally just looks, well, stunning. It gets really good when you start customising the front screen, removing the things that don’t interest you and adding your own sections. These could be your Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Flickr or Instagram accounts, as well as custom news searches, blogs or individual Twitter feeds.
Once you’ve customised, sit back with the iPad and immerse yourself in the content (and get used to the way it all works, but this won’t take too long). One of our favourite features is the way it pulls in images that people have shared on Twitter – no need to view the individual tweet or an external website.

iPhone
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.
Android
Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
