In Reeder 4, you can tap on the Reading mode and it bypasses the Read More button and you can read the entire article without leaving the interface. You might have noticed some websites using the ‘Read More’ button to expand the article. Tap on the down arrow to move on from one post to another. You can tap on an article and start reading in a clean environment. When you open the Reeder app, it syncs the data from the added accounts and showcases the unread/new articles upfront. How’s the reading experience? And I have to say, Reeder 4 has nailed the execution in this area. Using Feedly Pro (more on that later), you can also use OneNote to save articles and integrate your Twitter feed. You can add Pocket, Instapaper, and Evernote accounts for better integration. Simply tap on the + icon and add the account in Reeder 4.įeedly offers three main services to integrate into the app. You can connect a range of services such as RSS, Instapaper, Pocket, Feedbin, Feedly, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, Inroreader, and even self-hosted services such as FreshRDD, Reader, Fever, and more. Reeder has left no stone unturned when it comes to services. I like how the app offers multiple viewing options such as text, magazines, and cards to customize the home screen.Īs for animations, they are basic and definitely, not as intuitive as Reeder 4.

It features a nice bottom bar, but it also uses the hamburger menu which needs to be removed. You can choose from Light, Dark, Black, Light with a dark title bar, and so on.įeedly feels like it’s stuck between the future and the past. I also like the theming options in the app. The animations are smooth compared to Feedly, and when you switch from one post to another, it feels like you are swiping the physical pages of the book. Almost every menu, option, and even buttons are designed to keep the interface as simple as possible. I can describe Reeder 4 in one word – minimal.

So it makes sense for a tight UI/UX integration in the software. After all, you will spend a lot of time in these apps. User Interface plays a major role in RSS reader apps. Cross-platform availability lets you enjoy the same reading experience among the platforms. Feedly is accessible on iOS, Android, and Web. Meaning you can only use the app on iPhone and Mac. The comparison will cover cross-platform availability, user interface, reading experience, features, price, and more.

In this post, we are going to compare Reeder 4 and Feedly.
