Description

A modern RSS newsreader for iPhone and iPad, with features to help you find the news you are interested in, and no creepy tracking or advertising:

- Add Home Screen widgets showing articles from your folders, feeds, topics, tags or searches.
- Discover feeds published by your favourite news website or blog using the built-in browser.
- Setup notifications to alert you when new articles appear in your feeds.
- Create rules to automatically like, read, tag, or hide certain articles.
- Filter articles by unread, today only, tag, or media type.
- Add articles to the Reading List for later.
- Use the built-in reading list or external services, supports Pocket, Instapaper, and Safari Reading List.
- Automatically find the most written about topics from your feeds during the last day, week or month.
- Load the full article content for feeds that don't include the full text in the feed.
- Multiple image, audio, and video attachment playback.
- 3 column layout on iPad with new sidebar, redesigned for iPadOS 14.

- Sync your feeds and topics, plus article reads and likes using iCloud, no additional account or login needed.
- If you have more than one device synced to the same iCloud account you can nominate one of them to be the ‘Primary Device’. The primary device is responsible for downloading new articles from your feeds, other devices will sync via iCloud. This can help preserve battery life on other devices, and improve sync reliability.

What’s New

Version 3.1.7

- Additional dark mode themes 'Cool' and 'Warm', which affect all colours used throughout the app and can optionally tint image thumbnails.
- The alt text and highlighting UI in the full screen image view is now hidden by default so that the buttons don't interfere with the image.
- Multiple image attachments to an article are now shown as a small stack of thumbnails.
- Cleaned up the article summary view, removing the clutter of icons in the footer and emphasising the date published.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when scrolling to the next unread article.
- Removed an unnecessary reload of the article detail view when full content is enabled.

Great RSS feed reader

Really low cost subscription offering that competes in my opinion with big name rss solutions. Dev is very responsive to inquiries and makes regular updates to this product. Thank you!

Great RSS reader

Update: The app now syncs with iCloud much more reliably after recent updates.



Unique and well designed RSS reader. The dev is also extremely receptive to feedback. Great user experience overall.

I have had some trouble getting it to sync with iCloud, but I only rely on that as a backup of my feeds since I mostly read the news on one device.

You almost had me as a user

Until I realized there is no way to sort article lists from oldest to new date. Why are rss developers suddenly deciding that everyone doesn’t need this feature?? Also YouTube media don’t embed or play within the app
