Ratings and Reviews
New update is great!
Latest build 11.1 cleared all my crashing problems on iOS 15, Newsblur is back to the five-star app it should be!
Outstanding Open Source Alternative to Google Reader Apps
Major API & UI changes to Google Reader that could greatly affect iOS news readers dependent upon the service, combined with Google's questionable privacy policies and advertising, left me feeling the need to seek an alternative to feed my RSS jones. All the non-Google services I tried were not ideally designed for mobile access & touch screens - until I found Newsblur! It's an awesome new open source RSS reader with a very speedy (and free!) iPhone app.
You have to sign up at the website and the free version is limited to 64 feeds. There is a reasonable premium option that supports the developer and provides access to extras. The service does allow you to import Google Reader feeds if you choose, but appears to run independently of Google (i.e. no back-ending). Or you can search/add feeds individually. Newsblur also has the ability to learn your preferences through the Intelligence Trainer.
The Newsblur app is a s fast and as accurate as any of the numerous reader app I have used. It allows for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, & Instapaper.
Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't wish to depend on Google and, really, for anyone who uses apps dependent on Google Reader, as the upcoming changes may have a major impact on those apps. At the least, it is an excellent alternative and back-up to Google's service.
Pretty good google reader replacement
Update: 5 stars! This app keeps getting better. It's updated for the iPhone 6+ and looks and runs great! I really recommend this for a news group reader!
This seems like a pretty good replacement for some of the google reader bound apps. I paid for a subscription as I'm done with google reader and need a replacement, and the NewsBlur service had to shut off free accounts due to being overwhelmed with new subscribers. This app itself is fairly barebones but works ok. I gave it 4 stars for one reason- please give me a way to read from the oldest article first. I like to start with the oldest and read chronologically until I have read them all. Otherwise you read news in reverse... One small nitpick would be to remove the "mark all as read" from the main reading window as I never use this and would hate to hit it by accident!
