The folks at Flipboard once committed to offering the iOS-bred app only on the Samsung Galaxy S III. A strange route to go, of course, considering there are many more Android devices out there with many users who probably aren’t getting a Galaxy S III. The reasoning was simple: quality check.
They wanted to make sure it worked, and worked well, on at least one device starting out, but they’ve since come to realize that they won’t be very successful on Android with a one device model. That’s why they’re now releasing a public beta for all to get their hands on. Betas are nothing new, so you know the drill: things might not work as well as they should, and for that you shouldn’t scold them.
Reporting issues instead will do the trick. If you come across a force close, report it instead of just dismissing the prompt. And send an email off to the folks at Flipboard if something else is off in the app. Do your part and we should have an official release in no time. To get started, download the APK here. You’ll need a phone that is capable of sideloading apps. [via Engadget]
