My Magazine
The presentation of the versatile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was only a small preview of what this hybrid between smartphone and tablet can do. And it is that it is presented as the complete tool to satisfy all the needs that the user may have, be it browsing the Internet, communicating, working from the device, entertaining themselves”... something that is possible in part to its technical characteristics but also to its applications and functions.One of these tools that caught the eye during the presentation was My Magazine
It is a content aggregator proper. An application with which to be aware of everything that is published on the user's favorite web pages, being up to date in different areas such as technology, politics, news, sports, etc. And not only that, since it also uses as social media sources to collect content such as videos, status updates, shared photos and more. Something inevitably reminiscent of Flipboard An app that Samsung had already come to some agreement with in the past and who has now collaborated to create his own tool My Magazine
This is an application integrated into the terminal. So much so that just swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen upwards allows you to directly access it through an animation. With this simple gesture the cover of My Magazine is presented, displaying in an attractive grid the latest publications, articles and news collected All of this with a visual design typical of a digital magazine and that allows you to see headlines and photographs before accessing the content itself.
As we say, My Magazine has sources from different categories, so the user can customize the application by choosing the genre of content you want to receive and have available with just a swipe of your finger. Simply choose the sources and, of course, sign with the user data of different social networks available as Facebook or Twitter With this, the user ensures that they receive content of their interest through this digital magazine.

It is remarkable the effort for the design of an application attractive as well as comfortable And we must not lose sight of the fact that it has been created to read and view content A key point is that the content does not appear mixed , but divided into different screens between which you can switch by sliding your finger to the left or right and, if you want to go deeper or know previous content, you just have to move down. Once you have found what you want, all you have to do is click on it to be able to read the text comfortably, enjoying the photographs and attached videos , as long as the content has it.
In short, a content aggregator with an excellent design and many possibilities.And it is that it has extra functions such as having direct access to the basic applications of the terminal from the magazine itself. At the moment it is an exclusive application of the terminal Galaxy Note 3 We will have to wait for its release on the market at the end of this month of September to find out first hand this tool and if Samsung decides to extend it to the rest of its terminals in the Galaxy range
