When I got my iPad I was excited to use Flipboard. I had seen previews and lots of reviews that were very positive. It gained attention by combining the RSS capabilities of a reader app with the beautiful layout of a magazine. This was in contrast to the more utilitarian RSS apps.
Plus, it had Google Reader syncing - a must for me. I follow several feeds on a regular basis, and Google Reader is my service of choice for managing those feeds.
I was quickly disappointed, however, as Flipboard did not have an option to hide previously read articles. It would mark them as read by changing the color of the title, but you still had to flip over them to see older posts. This was annoying to me. Any standard RSS reader normally has this function.
For a long time MobileRSS HD Free did the trick. It is fairly intuitive and utilizes gestures well for navigation. But....still very utilitarian.
If you are like me and desire this combination, along with Google Reader sync, check out Feedly.
Now for the Screen shots...
