It works fine, and the news feeds are customizable enough - but the whole folding-paper animation just gets annoying after a few reads. It makes it hard to quickly scan thorugh the articles and get a quick look like you can with other news readers. You can scroll sideways once in reader mode - but then the "folded paper look" just wastes screen real estate. It would be better if this "feature" could be turned off in preferences. The app store screen shots look great (which is why I bought it) - but it's tedious to use compared to other news readers.Ah yes, and I'm also getting the "Pulp quit unexpectedly" issue.

I’ve just written a similar version of this, for the iPad, which I also bought, just a couple of days ago. I bought both based on the promise that there would be sync between devices/desktop via icloud. iCloud is switched on for all, and no sync takes place. Not good enough. Additionally, the interface isnt that conducive to ease of reading so I’m going back to my regular reader, Vienna.

Because I don't often use RSS readers, I have a habit of bookmarking all of my favourite sites as a group in Safari and occasionally revisiting them when I want to catch up on some news. With Pulp, I can glance over all of my favourite websites in just a few seconds.The UI is gorgeous and the columns and layout of articles are customisable, it has that real authentic feel and age-old readability of a newspaper. I am kept up-to-date with a count of unread articles on the application badge, feeds load so much faster than webpages, plus there are no advertisements interrupting me. But the best thing of all, the articles I have read, saved, and the layout of my feeds, sync with the iPad version of the application. I can save articles to read later, so when I'm busy at work, I can save a few articles to read later and then read them on my iPad at lunch.The way Pulp presents feeds makes staying up-to-date easy, I am finding that I could subscribe to even more feeds and websites now than I could usually manage. In my opinion news is meant to be delivered in this manner, yet most feed readers are antiquated - the innovative and modern feel of Pulp makes reading feeds is enjoyable, and I finally I have a reason to make subscriptions.

EDIT:Okay, I just found the 'Magic Reader' function and the latter half of my issue below has been rectified! Very easy, fluid news reader, a no-brainer purchase for people who are addicted to feeds.Original review:I've been using pulp for… the last 15 minutes.It's been a great experience UI-wise setting up my pages and feeds, almost painless - they've obviously spent a lot of time on the user experience ascpects here and it works well.The home page, however, just isn't updating - it only has two tags, "Dragon" and "ISS", neither of which actually show up in any of my feeds.NOTE: The Magic Reader function rectifies this >The other issue is some of my XML feeds - the app will show the text presented in the feed itself, but a lot of my feeds will only display the first paragraph of a story due to the volume of content. So, to read the whole story I just have to click on the headline - not a huge issue, but it opens it up in Safari rather than in the app itself, which is a behaviour I would personally desire more. This is honestly more of a content provider issue, but if Acrylic Software worked in a way to make this more seamless this would easily be a five-star app. If the feeds you read are designed properly, this isn't even an issue.But on the positive side, it formats the feeds beautifully, it's easy to customise, and the shelf and article sharing are fluid and easy - not to mention the way it displays feeds makes them much less of a chore to navigate than in Mail and Googe Reader, where I was reading them before. It's definitely one of the best news readers I've ever used.
