The official Flipboard app has finally arrived in the Windows Store, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 users are invited to download it, of course, as well, as Windows 8 and Windows RT users, if you haven’t made the update yet. Flipboard for Windows 8.1 comes with a completely optimized touch interface, offering the options to save stories, share links, topics, blogs, or sites and create your own magazines.

You can use the Windows 8.1 Flipboard app to connect up to 12 social networks, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Google+. There are 12 localized editions of the Windows 8.1 Flipboard app that include Australia, Canada, UK, US, Japan, Italy, and Germany. As expected, live tile support is also offered to Windows 8.1 users, so by pinning your favorite topics on the Start screen, you won’t even need to launch the Windows 8 Flipboard app.

The official Flipboard app for Windows 8.1 description reads like this:

Flipboard is your personal magazine. It is the most popular way to catch up on the news you care about, read stories from around the world and browse the articles, videos and photos friends are sharing. To begin, pick a few topics and tap any of the tiles to begin flipping through your personal magazine. Use the Discover button to customize your Flipboard with iconic sources like The New York Times, PEOPLE magazine, Fast Company and many more.

You can also connect your social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Share what you are reading and enjoy updates from friends all in one place. When you find things you like on Flipboard, use the + button to save it into your own magazines. Build magazines on any topic, from Great Hikes to Gear & Gadgets.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
