Reeder: a new way to read the news

Those who like to keep abreast of current affairs and follow a number of blogs will be pleased to hear about Reeder, this app is an RSS reader that unites feeds in the same place. This unique, easy to use reader is perfect for those who don’t want to miss any news.

Features

The highlight of Reeder is its simplicity, the developers have taken great pains to ensure that the app never overshadows the feed content. Unread news items are presented in a clear linear format, swiping left or right will move through each item, while a harder swipe will swipe quickly through the entire feed. The app is compatible with Feedly, Feed Wrangler and a host of other readers, and it supports syncing. This app has a feature called armchair mode: this is where each news article is condensed to a clean, advert-free version that is easy to scroll through and read. The app also works alongside social media apps, allowing quick and easy sharing of interesting news.

Conclusion

The Reeder app doesn’t do anything particularly exciting, but it does make organising and reading news easy. There have been some problems with the app being unable to handle large amounts of unread articles in the past, bit these problems appear to have been resolved. The app works well, but at $4.99 it is slightly expensive.
