![]() ![]() Interface, features, animations, speed, price. ![]() Now, you should consider a few aspects: Reeder is amazing. Unlike many other apps Reeder doesn’t have in-app settings, you’ll have to fill out your Instapaper details into Settings.app (Bjango developer wrote an interesting post about the “Settings in Settings.app” problem, read it here) which is pretty unusual today, I wish the dev will put them into the app in the next update. Just as the sync process, the “Save to.” one is fast and painless. The 3rd party services integration was a big lack of the previous versions and Silvio exceptionally implemented it in 1.1. ![]() Not to mention the whole “notebook” look of the application, with scotch tape and other cool stuff. Or, there’s a tiny arrow above each button in the bottom toolbar, and as you tap on a button the arrow slides with a great animation, much like Tweetie 2 does. The last one on the right is the refresh button.ĭelving deeper into the UI, you’ll notice a terrific attention for the details: when Reeder is syncing your subscriptions the top toolbar shows “Syncing Subscriptions” instead of the carrier and clock. These buttons basically allow you to switch between starred, unread and the complete lists of your feeds. Reeder’s interface - as I said - is very minimal: there are 4 buttons in the bottom toolbar and that’s it. Now, I doubt that it depends on some Google Reader outages, so it’s very likely that Reeder is simply better (in the core itself I mean) than other applications. The sync process of Reeder is one of the fastest I’ve ever seen: on the same wifi internet connection, Reeder is faster than any other RSS app I have on my iPhone. If you don’t use Google Reader as your RSS service, I think it’s time to create an account: it’s becoming the standard. First, Reeder integrates with Google Reader: this means it will sync all your subscriptions with your Google account. Reeder is not scared by the long way: indeed, it covers all the way with it features. You know, it’s a long way to become the king. The developer crafted an application with an excellent taste, knowing that many users suffered for the lack of a beatiful RSS reader.Īnd trust me, it’s even more beautiful than Newsstand.īut let’s move on, ‘cause Reeder doesn’t stop at eye-candy. It’s elegant, minimal, sexy yet friendly, with awesome animations and with the right features at the right place. Unlike many other RSS readers I’ve tested and (then) trashed, when you first launch Reeder you’ll notice its stunning interface. The new king is called Reeder and is developed by Silvio Rizzi. Step down from the throne Newsstand, we have a new king. Now, among these three ones my final choice until a month ago was Newsstand: features rich, great interface, stable and fast. But anyway, I tried many and in the end the best were the most popular: Byline, NetNewsWire, Newsstand. The problem is, there are thousands of RSS readers out in the AppStore and as you can guess, it’s pretty difficult to discover good apps when there are 3.000 apps in that Category. I tried many RSS readers for iPhone, and by “many” I mean more than 20. ![]()
