You highlight the categories and subcategories that interest you and then tap the Save icon to lock in your selections as Smart Magazines. Tapping a category-say, Politics-reveals subcategories, such as #Donald Trump and #Political Satire. After you log in, Flipboard urges you to select topics of interests from dozens of categories, including Business, Celebrity News, and Science.

Laying the Foundationįlipboard's sign-up process is simple, as the app lets you create an account using an email address or your Google, Facebook, or Twitter credentials. I tested Flipboard for Android, and there is also an iPhone app, and you can use the service via a Web browser, too, with similar results in all cases. Regardless, the free Flipboard is a near-flawless app that news junkies should not do without.

Flipboard's recently updated Android app, which boasts a beautiful and user-friendly redesign, remains the de facto Android news-reading app-mainly because much of the competition, such as The Daily and Zite, have bitten the dust. There's a reason Flipboard remains PCMag's favorite multiplatform newsreader: It does a wonderful job of aggregating articles, video, and social media into an accessible, but feature-rich, personalized digital magazine.
