Flipboard, the highly popular social magazine iOS app , today introduced a major update in the form of audio integration with SoundCloud. Users can now listen to podcasts, news, music and more while flipping through various sections. Flipboard has partnered with National Public Radio and Public Radio International to offer additional audio content.

Flipboard users can now access the Audio category by tapping the red ribbon on the top right corner of the app or by connecting to SoundCloud from the Accounts menu.

Once users tap the Audio option, they are greeted by a list of various segments from shows like NPR's Fresh Air, songs from artists of Atlantic Records and even original beats form Snoop Dogg. Existing SoundCloud users can also comment and like sounds directly from the app.

That's not all. When users tap on a specific genre for listening, it leads to a separate screen with the album artwork displayed in the centre and the Play button located at its bottom right. There's a music icon located on the top left corner that allows users to control their listening preferences.

Further, Flipboard has also integrated Apple's VoiceOver features to make the app accessible for the visually impaired. With VoiceOver enabled, everything on Flipboard is read out aloud.
