Our Review of the Best RSS App for the iPhone and iPad Has Been Updated
With the bevy of RSS app updates over the last few months, it was high time we gave our review of the best RSS app for the iPhone and iPad some polish.
Over the last few months, we’ve seen some major updates to all the main competitors in this category:
- Unread has constantly been refined, ensuring its reading-first ethos is maintained and perfected.
- Reeder reached version 4 and introduced some design refinements and improved the underlying code from top to bottom.
- Fiery Feeds has now reached version 2.2 and introduced a wonderful three-pane view for the iPad and further enhanced all its customization and power features.
- lire has reached version 3.3, continually rolling out more discovery features that are subscription-based in other apps.
Choosing the best RSS app for iPhone and iPad is tricky business, as everyone approaches their RSS subscription list differently. Some like to cull and enjoy a lengthy read while others like to power through high-caliber feeds. To avoid alienating any particular group, our picks have remained the same:
- Unread is the best RSS app for reading on iPhone and iPad thanks to its ultra-simple and calm design.
- Reeder is the best standard RSS app, with its healthy combination of reading, customization, and power features.
- Fiery feeds is the best power-user RSS app, thanks to its seemingly unending list of customization, power, and URL-scheme features.
- lire is a fantastic alternative to Reeder as a standard RSS app due to its handy discovery features and the way in which the app takes advantage of iOS’s latest software features.
