Update: Not only can I not uninstall this garbage, but now I've received an email indicating that they've had a data breach. Glad to receive the notice but I could have been better protected by BEING ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL IT; so irritating! Original Review: Bloatware I don't want and can't get rid of. it does allow me to turn it off, but it turns itself back on every few weeks. I'd give 0 stars if that were an option.

"less than 1 star" rating based on annoyance. I kept getting random & annoying "ping" alerts from "Briefing", but couldnt figure out what app was causing it. Occasionally woke me up at night (even with 'do not disturb" turned on). Finally figured out it was Flipboard's Briefing. Didnt know it was there, dont want it, can't uninstall. The movie line, "Terminate with extreme prejudice" comes to mind ...

Just takes up space. I don't want it on my phone. If I had signed up for it out of curiosity, I might view it differently, but it being non-optional takes any fun right out of it. I don't want the app that's required to access this one, either, unless I've misunderstood how that app works. Update: I am aware that it can't be uninstalled and must be repeatedly disabled instead, that is my main problem with it.

Because Briefing is considered a system app, any system updates will update the app as well. You will need to disable it once more. Just open your device Settings, locate Briefing, then choose the disable option. For help, click the Contact button at flip.it/help.
