Paper

Finally the rumors of a few weeks ago have been confirmed after the official presentation of Paper, the new application of Facebook A tool that seeks to bring the user the stories and topics of interest as if from a newspaper in question. A vitaminated news reader who does not forget the social aspect, collecting information from both important sources such as magazines and the media , but also from user's wallAll of this in a tool visually very striking that offers a comfortable appearance and operation as well as surprising.

This is a new application for the moment only for iPhone and it has been released for the next day February 3 through App Store Of course, apparently for the moment exclusively for United States And at the moment this newsreader only collects media from this country or focused on its populationSo we will still have to wait to see Paper in Spain or collecting local sources. However, its operation and main characteristics have already been shown. Questions that surprise and that seem pampered down to the smallest detail.

In this way the user would only need to choose the different categories that they would like to have in Paper Simply drag sections such as design, news, technology, etc The application automatically collects the latest publications from the most prestigious media, as well as Curators or content creators So the user can navigate from one section to another just by sliding their finger on the top of the screen and see the latest headlines and news at the bottom.

But Paper goes further. By sliding your finger from bottom to top, the news takes control of the screen to be displayed in its entirety. Thus it is possible to read them comfortably, whether they contain text, whether they are a simple Facebook status updateor have a photo collection Everything is displayed in an organic and very attractive way, taking advantage of the screen and sliding down so as not to leave the news. Although it is always possible to slide horizontally to go to the next or previous one.We must highlight the viewing of content such as photos and videos And in the case of the former it is possible to zoom with the pinch gesture and flip the image at will, while videos play full screen, behind the title text.

How can it be otherwise, Paper gives you the option of sharing the contents through the social network Facebook or create your own story, as well as rate the stories with a Like All this simply by using the icons at the bottom of the screen, without being distracted from reading or viewing said content.

At the moment these are details that can be found on the web page of the application, as well as in its promotional video, where it is its design, visual aspect and the pleasantness of its animations and transitions are appreciable.Undoubtedly a strong bet from Facebook to take their share of the pie against other tools of this genre such as Flipboard or Google Currents
