Other new features include new side bars that help users to easily find more content, new recommended reading suggestions that appear to make it easier for readers to discover content they are interested in, and Facebook integration that allows users to share content to their account in more meaningful ways.

The application is expected to be updated for Android users at anytime, and if you have yet to enjoy the Flipboard experience you can download it from the App Store, or Google Play.
