Description

Pulp is a unique and innovative news reader that turns your favourite news sites into your own personalized newspaper, making scanning through the news quicker and more enjoyable than ever before. By putting multiple news feeds onto a single page, Pulp lets you quickly browse through headlines, previews, and photos to find the stories that interest you most. With a beautifully refined user interface, one-click sharing, and a companion app for your iPad, Pulp is the ultimate news reading experience.

• Totally Customizable

Pulp is fully customizable. Create unique categories to separate your feeds by. Then, modify the layout of each page by adding, removing, and resizing columns. Finally, add feeds to populate each column, change each feed's appearance style, rules, and more. Forget the boring, concrete layouts you're used to seeing on the web. With Pulp, you are your own editor.

• Trending Topics

Find all of the most important stories on the brand new home page, a singular location that analyzes your feeds and determines the newest and most interesting trends.

• See Everything, Magically

Tired of feeds that only publish short text previews? Introducing Magic Reader - with a tap of a button, it lets you see the full story formatted into a clean and easy-to-read format, regardless of where it's from. Best of all, Magic Reader often presents an article faster than it takes to load the web version, making it essential for users on the go.

• iCloud Integration

Now you can seamlessly sync your pages, feeds, articles, and more to multiple Macs and iPads (Pulp for iPad sold separately on the iOS App Store). Simply sign in with your iCloud account, and watch all of your data move over the air between your devices.

• Ready for OS X Lion

Pulp is even better thanks to OS X Lion. Take advantage of great features like the distraction-free full screen mode, natural multi-touch gestures, instant resume, iCloud integration, and more.

Good, but not wonderful....

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 was foolish not to have read the reviews first

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.

A fantastic news reader

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.
