It does not store articles forever, however, but it caches up to articles and Web pages they link to for offline reading; very handy for crippled RSS feeds that do not include the whole article, but just a teaser and a link to the Web page. It syncs with Google Reader and there is a free, ad-supported version and a reasonable priced app without ads.

You can download it from the App Store. I use Reeder coupled with Instapaper: see something I want to salt away for offline reading, tuck it into Instapaper which caches it nicely.

News, Blog & Feed Reader

Instapaper also displays pieces in an "iBooks-like" way for easier reading with typographic control and more. The nice thing about this combo one could also use Read Later is that Reeder lets you set up a simple button to do the salting away on its services panel. Very slick. Sign up to join this community.

Been using it on iPod Touch for more than a year. Sync at home in the morning, then read while commuting both ways, and sync again in the evening. Holds up to articles without much problem. Really fast. Was using Byline before I've found Reeder. I will second that it's a little slow to sync, and its web interface isn't as quick as I'd like either.

I often wait a few seconds after clicking an article before it loads. On the other hand, with the web interface on my Mac, Mr. Reader on my iPad, and Reeder on my iPhone, it's provided me with a solution for all the platforms I'm on. The keyboard shortcuts are a nice power-user's tool and they rival Reeder for Mac's in terms of flexibility and usefulness. He could make support for different services in-app purchases. I'd happily have sent a little coin his way to not have had to switch my entire RSS workflow around.

Ironic how one could not read more than a summary of TidBITS articles in their RSS reader of choice but instead need to go directly to their site for the juicy details. But we do offer a full RSS feed! The contributions of paying members are what allow Adam and Tonya to pay me to write articles like this! I'm looking for a syncing reader that supports password-protected feeds.

The Best RSS App for iPhone and iPad

The lack of that was what kept me from using google reader in the first place. NetNewsWire had that and lost it when they jumped on the google bandwagon, so I'm hopeful it will be back. As has been noted elsewhere, search is the big missing feature. Thank you for this article. You have performed a public service. I still don't know what I'm going to do besides use twitter and flipboard and feedly until things settle down.

We plan on being ad supported but will offer an ad free version We have plenty of features on the roadmap as well. It's still in "preview" but definitely has some great things going for it.

Even the huge list at replacereader. My favorite for quite a while has been a feeder. On OS X, I've been satisfied using the feeder. On iOS, Newsify. Moved to 'NetNewsWire'. Pleasure to use, and have had good interaction with provider. I recommend Curata Reader reader. It's a minimalist, mobile-friendly, web-based reader that embraces the "river of news" philosophy.

You can apply filters to feeds, choose how much of each feed you want to see, and it has a very clean and easy reading experience. I wonder why you did not mention The Old Reader that seems to be the player 2 after Feedly on the web reader market. For the simple reason that it doesn't seem to have much, if any third-party support yet. Many folks would rather read their feeds through a native app. Old Reader for me, so far at least. I tried Feedly,and found it messy and alien. After trying to get it into shape yesterday the annoyance led me to Old Reader, and my grumpiness lifted.

Very much like Google Reader, everything was where it "should" be, no glaring faults that I can see so far.

Worth giving it a whirl. This saves a lot of time and aggravation. A good, flexible filter is essential in opinion. However, I recently discovered InoReader 2 and I think they have done a fantastic job of providing everything one may need in a RSS reader. I've been using Feedly for a couple months now and at first loved it but have grown wary of using it because you have to sign in with your Google login. Don't understand why that's required now that they have their own cloud-based solution.

Also their lack of a coherent business model makes me wary of what they're doing with your personal information. I recently purchased FeedWrangler and have been a bit disappointed. The lack of folders and tags is a bummer, as is the inability to rename feeds and I have found it impossible to add several feeds. The clean interface is nice but the service just doesn't fit into my workflow. Hopefully I can get a refund. Reader on the iPad.

Review: Feeddler RSS Reader for iPad | iPad Insight

This because currently ReadKit seems the only Mac program that can sync feeds using a web service and it doesn't support Feedly. However, I am very disappointed by ReadKit. For one thing, ReadKit doesn't have a function to add entries to Instapaper or another read later service.

So it is not easy to send articles to Instapaper to read them on my iPad, neither is it easy to send the articles I want to keep via Instaper to DEVONThink both things are important in my daily workflow. ReadKit's window with a 3 column layout looks very neat, but it has several problems. Its feed entries list doesn't show dates. There are no tabs and you can have only one window open for reading.

So I can't put two articles side by side to check if it is true what the one says about the other. Readkit can't open links in the background and there are no functions to send the link to a read later or bookmarking service. The lack of a function to subscribe to the comments feed of an interesting article is another serious problem. Finally, I need to take recourse to mouse or trackpad much more than I find comfortable. For example, when I go down the entry list by hitting the arrow key and arrive at an article I like to read, I have to click in the article window before I can scroll through that article with the spacebar.

And when I arrive at the end of the article, I have to click in the entries list pane to be able to navigate to the next article. I really don't understand why ReadKit got such raving reviews, and I would never have bought it if I had been able to try it for half an hour.

This is nth time I firmly promise myself never to buy a program I can't try before buying. I fear that, thanks to the Appstore, it will not be the last time I broke this promise. I'm furious at Reeder, an app I paid good money for, just deciding to only include paid options like feedbin and fever. I also paid for Readability, which was nicely integrated into Rizzi's Reeder.

No service I've seen yet integrates readbility. Why do I like it? NY Times , where you have to struggle to pinch, zoom, and read.
