Flipboard, the application that claims to bring together global news and social news in a stylish magazine, has just received a new update which promises better overall performance.

With Flipboard, Android users can browser through their favorite news categories via Twitter timeline as well as from outlets, such as USA Today and BBC.

The application can be connected to 12 social networks and services, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Google Reader, YouTube and many more.

According to Flipboard, the latest update brings more performance enhancements, as well as several bug fixes that have yet to be detailed.

Flipboard 1.8.4 is now available as a free download via Google Play store and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.2 and up. Keep in mind that the application has been optimized for smartphones, not tablets.
