Shipowner 2: Popular RSS reader
"Reeder 2" is one of the most popular RSS readers when it comes to an app for the iPhone. With "Reeder 2" you have the following options:
- The RSS reader provides a variety of functions. This way you can save links, save pictures or create posts on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Another special highlight is that you can save the texts you want with "Reeder 2" and then read them offline. This is particularly useful if you want to keep your data consumption on your smartphone low or if you are traveling abroad with your mobile phone.
- Since "Reeder 2" combines many practical functions, the RSS reader is not only suitable for private individuals, but also for everyday work. "Reeder 2" proves to be a useful support, especially when it comes to (business) trips abroad.
- You can get "Reeder 2" on iTunes for a price of currently 4.49 euros.
Feedly Reader: A stylish magazine view
"Feedly Reader" is a real competition for flipboard, because the design is also structured like a magazine. You also get the following functions with the RSS reader:
- First, "Feedly Reader" forms a clear view from the individual feeds. With a click on certain articles or texts, these can be opened, viewed and read. If you wish, you can also go to the homepage on which the article has been published. If you particularly like one of the texts, you can share it with your friends. You can also reserve some articles and feeds for later.
- This app is equally suitable for private and business use. You should use "Feedly Reader" if you above all want a clear design and attach great importance to the design.
- Testing "Feedly Reader" can't hurt, because the app is free.
Spout: animations as far as the eye can see
"Spout" turns out to be a real innovation, because it works with numerous animations. You also have the following options:
- The difference between other RSS readers and "Spout" is that here the posts from social networks and news are broken down gradually. This means that they can be seen one after the other on the screen - word for word in full screen mode. The themes can be changed and customized so that you get a personal overview of the latest entries.
- Since "Spout" has a lot of animation and the messages and posts run in individually, this app is intended for leisure despite the beautiful design. Reading whole articles in this way is not a good idea.
- The iPhone app is currently available for a price of EUR 1.79.
Mr. Reader: A German flipboard alternative
"Mr. Reader" is a flipboard alternative from German development. You can enjoy the following functions:
- "Mr. Reader" allows various settings for the feeds, so that they can be sorted chronologically, for example. You also have different themes and sounds that you can customize. Articles can also be searched and you can also read certain texts offline. If you have already read feeds, you can mark them as such and hide them in this way.
- The app offers a good mix of the functions of social networks and news feeds, which is why "Mr. Reader" is suitable for private and professional everyday life.
- You currently get "Mr. Reader" for a price of 3.59 euros.
