iPad App – Reeder, Google RSS Reader
One might expect to find a number of RSS feed readers for the iPhone and iPad at the app store and you would be right. Over the last two years I have purchased a number of readers looking for the one that has everything I am looking for in a reader. As of today the est one I have found so far to meet all my needs is Silvio Rizzi’s Reeder app.
Previous to making the move over to Reeder, I was using and happy with Early Edition by Glasshouse Apps. Early Edition offered me just about everything but one key item which is, caching the images and articles. I travel and when I do, I can’t always rely on being in a connected state to retrieve and view my feeds. While I prefer the Early Edition’s user interface (UI), the feature set that Reeder offers convinced me to make the move.
Reeder provides
- Syncs with Google Reader
- Browse by feed or folders
- Manage starred items, notes
- Support for shared items and friends’ shared items
- Mark as unread
- Image caching
- State saving
- Slider control for list entries:
> slide to right to toggle read/unread
< slide to left to toggle starred/unstarred
Including
Services/sharing:
- Send to Instapaper or ReadItLater
- Save to Delicious* or Pinbard
- Post to Twitter
- In-app email for sharing articles
- Instapaper and Google Mobilizer
- Open with Safari
- Copy Link
An additional feature that I like is the ability to email the article to friends or store it to Instapaper. Once feature I would like to see added is the ability to save to my Evernote notebook. I save the information today via the email process to Evernote.
The Reeder app is well worth the $4.99 and as I wait for my iPhone 4, I will purchase the iPhone version.
