Where Twitter has increasingly descended into a dumpster fire of idiocy, racism, misogyny, and, overall, an efficient clearinghouse for peoples’ opinions and witticisms that aren’t that useful to me at the end of the day, news aggregator apps (like Apple News, as well as Flipboard) fulfill a need for a news junkie like me, in that I don’t have to wade through people’s comments and posts to find the news I care about. Scrolling through the Apple News app on my iPhone XR the other day - one of the many different drivers of traffic for this site outside of the usual suspects like Google and social networks - it struck me how much I’d come to rely on apps other than Twitter in the age of the coronavirus to keep up with news, as well as pop culture and other things I care about. Both are fantastic news reader apps, but there are some key differences.In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the features of both, to help you potentially decide which one is right for you.
In the age of the coronavirus and with other major news stories reshaping our world right now including everything from Trump administration policies to the Black Lives Matter movement, mobile apps like Apple News and Flipboard have become more useful than ever.We are continuing to bring even more local coverage into Flipboard. Larger metro topics also feature subsections for video content and more specific interests, like Sports, Politics, Business, and Things To Do. Updating throughout the day, local topics allow you to stay current with breaking news and community happenings in your area. And from the Following tab you can add these local topics to your top Home bar.
They will be added to your Flipboard Following tab in the app so you can jump to them any time. Select one or more of these local topics to follow and we’ll include that local content in your For You feed. Location access allows Flipboard to suggest local topics for you to follow, including the nearest cities and towns. When you next open the updated app you’ll be asked for permission to use your location. To enable these new local features, make sure you’ve downloaded the latest version of the app. Stories and videos from local publishers, blogs, and TV stations will be visible in your For You feed so you can stay in the loop with your community as you flip through Flipboard. We’re making finding your local news easier than ever.
