Cover stories added to Flipboard iPad app

Cover Stories, a feature first introduced on FlipboardT for iPhone and iPod Touch in December, is now available on Flipboard for iPad. Cover Stories gives readers one place to quickly catch up on some of the most interesting stories, posts and photos from everything they have connected to their Flipboard.

Cover Stories shows up as a new, “double tile” on Flipboard’s first page.

Cover Stories learns what readers like from their interactions with news, posts and photos shared by friends and sources. Over time Cover Stories on Flipboard gets more and more relevant, giving readers one place to quickly catch up on their social news.

On the iPad, the design and editorial teams have infused Flipboard with even more timeless print principles, applying the feel and flow of a magazine to real-time social media content. For instance, new covers, typography overlays on photos and beautiful full-bleed images make the social magazine pages resemble the beauty of print design that people love so much even more than before.

Based on reader feedback, this edition of Flipboard also includes the following additions:

Ÿ A third page in the Flipboard Table of Contents gives readers more tiles, now with a total of 32 tiles, to quickly dive into favorite Flipboard sections.

Ÿ It’s now possible to add a specific Google Reader folder as a Flipboard tile.

Ÿ A simple way to get international content with recommended regional reading — the first eight countries now accessible in settings.
