Flipora also has a content recommendation iPhone app. The app allows a user to connect their Facebook and Twitter accounts. The app then uses machine learning to infer a user's interests based on their Facebook and Twitter activity along with the activity within the app. Finally, the app makes recommendations to users based on topics deemed to be within their sphere of interest.{{cite magazine | last =Rampton | first =John | title =Five New Apps Challenging Facebook and Twitter for Content Discovery | magazine = Forbes| date =27 January 2015 | url =https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnrampton/2015/01/27/five-new-apps-challenging-facebook-and-twitter-for-content-discovery/ | accessdate =24 May 2015}}{{cite magazine | last =Rampton | first =John | title =4 Essential iPhone Apps for Late 2014 | magazine = Inc.| date =25 November 2014 | url =http://www.inc.com/john-rampton/4-essential-iphone-apps-for-late-2014.html| accessdate =24 May 2015}}{{cite news | last =Rampton | first =John | title =4 New iPhone Apps Changing the Way We Discover Content| work = The Huffington Post| date =27 April 2015 | url =http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-rampton/4-new-iphone-apps-changin_b_7149096.html| accessdate =24 May 2015}}
