Ratings and reviews

Update: Not only can I not uninstall this garbage, but now I've received an email indicating that they've had a data breach. Glad to receive the notice but I could have been better protected by BEING ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL IT; so irritating! Original Review: Bloatware I don't want and can't get rid of. it does allow me to turn it off, but it turns itself back on every few weeks. I'd give 0 stars if that were an option.

Navigating continually changes. Recommended articles can't be read without subscribing to article publication. Notifications are continuous (way too many). Links are slow. It can't be uninstalled & automatically re-enables (if disabled) after updates, which also can't be turned off. It takes up a bunch of memory and system resources. Just a terrible app 100%

This app came auto-installed on my last several phones. I cannot uninstall it, just disable it, and somehow it keeps coming back. That said, the functionality of the app is not the problem. I do not identify with the content I am shown. It would be great if I could personalize the news feed. Everything article featured is very liberal-leaning. By only featuring news with a leftist spin, the creators of this app are cutting out a large section of their market. Going to disable the app again now.

What's new

Briefing is now more customizable. In addition to the content you could choose from before, you can now also choose from the entire range of topics of Flipboard!
