Design 4/5

Despite numerous features and benefits, the design of Flipboard Briefing's latest version looks a little bit messy. While there are too many news sections with hundreds and thousands of articles on important for you topics, many users believe it could be better organized. Yet, with such an enormous number of news, each with its own photo cover inside, it is hard work to keep it well-organized. If you want to find something specific use the search bar.
