14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Silvio Rizzi is out with the latest version of his popular RSS client, Reeder 2, featuring background app refresh, smart streams, support for feed:// links from external apps, a drag handle in the browser toolbar, UI modifications, and a number of fixes.
Reeder is a powerful RSS client for your iPhone or iPad that sells for $4.99 / €4.49 and fetches your favorite news articles through various services, including Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, Fever, and Readability.
Reeder also supports local/standalone RSS with no sync, and version 2.2 gets a much deserved background app refresh ability, a loading progress indicator for the in-app browser, smart streams with support for grouping by feed or date, a new setting to disable favicons, support for feed links (feed://) from external apps, navigation pan (right/left) in toolbars and empty spaces in list views, and a drag handle in the browser toolbar.
Starting with this version, Pocket integration now uses OAuth, and Pinboard integration now uses API token. Message sharing now includes the title and link, and article list entries have undergone a few UI tweaks.
Numerous issues have been addressed, including a bug where an article might just disappear when launching the app, OPML import issues, disappearing status bar, browser scroll issues, missing scrollbars in the browser and for dark themes, and more. Also, fever error handling has been improved. To download Reeder 2.2, you’ll need iOS 6.1 and an iDevice that can take the firmware.
