For years, Flipboard has been a popular app for anyone looking to keep up-to-date on the latest news and trends. However, if you're subscribed to a number of different topics, your main Flipboard page can quickly become overwhelming.
This is where Flipboardmagazines come into play. Magazines are helpful for organizing your articles into specific categories, either to read later or share with friends.

Choose "For a passion" if you'd like to create a magazine that automatically pulls in stories the app thinks you'd be interested in.
Choose "For reading specific sources" if you'd like to limit your magazine to stories from specific outlets.
Choose "For sharing in a group" if you'd like to make a collaborative magazine with others.
Choose "For collecting" if you'd like to pick and choose what goes into the magazine from all sources.
