![]() ![]() Thanks for the feature requests! I’m not sure what you mean by a few of them, though. Hopefully, these suggestions will help NNW become better and eventually become THE best RSS Feed reader available, as it once was. Until then it will have to remain a throwback novelty. Unfortunately, NNW feels to be the same app/workflow as it was back then with little evolution other than being on my iDevice.Īdding features such as Category (folder) views, device feed sharing (iCloud Drive), newspaper style view, duplicate elimination/aggregation, recommended feeds, auto category forward, and auto-read would make NNW my go-to news reading solution. When NNW was released, I was hoping that it would significantly improve my news reading experience, as it did years ago. However, over the years have experienced many new ways to consume my news including Feedly and News+. I was excited to hear NNW coming back and that it would be available on my current devices (iPad/iPhone). ![]() I used to use NetNewsWire years ago and loved it, I was so disappointed when it went away. Other than that, I think this app is great! Maybe there could be an option to change the app icon for NetNewsWire. For example, the app can be made green with the menu buttons being a lighter green. You should be able to make a custom theme using a main color and an accent color.

This is different from deleting an entire feed and all of the articles in it. There should be an option to manually “delete” RSS feed items by swiping left instead of right. (RSS readers aren't exactly the most exciting or lucrative app category, so most of the popular apps have been around since Google Reader was killed.) For the apps that met the criteria, I imported my list of subscribed feeds (when they weren't already there I've tried most RSS readers in the past). If I have multiple feeds that relate to the same topic, why can’t I group them? There should be a way to browse through your articles by group and see articles that are only related to a specific topic while maintaining iCloud sync in one account.Ģ. However, there should be some other features too.ġ. I like being able to view RSS feeds in a simple view and access all of the features of a typical feed reader. Seee posts in simplified text mode as well as share posts with friends.This app is great. Nearly every mobile RSS reader just uses Google Reader, so when you read an article it's marked as read everywhere. You have the option to “star” posts marking up your. Because Google Reader is/was the most popular RSS reader by far. Read on web, mobile or in browser extensions. Feeder allows you to organize RSS feeds into folders. ![]() Although not a carbon copy of Google Reader, Feeder reminds a lot of it. Feeder is a great replacement for the now closed Google Reader.

Basically any device that supported either HTML or WAP 2.0 could be used. Google Reader had a mobile interface since 2006. The user could download up to 2000 articles and read them offline, and when going back online sync new articles. The Google Reader was the Google’s first application to use another now defunkt Google software: Google Gears – a special Chrome browser extension, which allowed applications to run offline as well. Labels could also be added and sorted, and certain articles could be tagged as “Starred items” to be remembered for later. Filtering and sorting could be done by date or relevance. Users could add feeds through the reader’s search engine or by adding a feed URL directly. In the former option only the title is visible, and in the latter both title and description were visible Displaying the latest items together with a brief summary.It had a very compact information dense design. Some of the extra and very handy features the reader offered included: InterfaceĪ designer of Google Reader described its purpose as a “river of news”.
