I had tried all the Rss readers out there and was frustrated by them all. Then I found this one. This app turned a boring chore into a joyful swift experience. Then I realized that no other mobile app comes close to this user experience.

I'll admit that the gestures took me a few minutes to get accustomed to but once I did it was a pleasure to move through the stories. I love the thoughtful touches with the settings to make the experience tuned just the way I wanted. As a person with red/green color I dispare of applications that use red on black for dark mode to emphasize links or text. With Unread one tap in the settings and the emphasises were changed to my needs.

If you like RSS and don’t need cuddly power-user features, Unread is the only way to go. Just beautifully, intelligently designed reading and nothing else. I do wish for two features. First, iCloud syncing that doesn’t require Feedly or such. Second, and hand in hand with that, ability to add, remove, and categorize feeds within Unread. With those it would be my perfect RSS reader.

this app has great typography and overall design but not quite as much flexibility as i want when it comes to information density. it always feels like i’m seeing too much or not enough.

I desperately want to use the beautifully designed Unread as my daily driver – desperately – but I can’t, because (unlike, say, Reeder and Fiery Feeds), it doesn’t allow you to set RSS feeds to auto-load in Readability Mode. (Reeder lets you choose per feed between truncated & full text. Fiery Feeds let’s you choose between truncated, full text, & original web page.) Unread presents you with the truncated article (the type with a “read more” link after the first paragraph), but you have to tap the headline to get, depending on how you’ve set your settings, *either* readability view or web view (but not both, at least not easily). This adds unnecessary extra steps and spoils the beauty of what would otherwise be my perfect feed reader. I just don’t understand why automatic readability more on a set per feed basis wouldn’t be a priority for the programmer. So. What happens is that, every two or three months, I download Unread in hopes that I’ll find such an update has been made, test it out, find it hasn’t, and then delete till the next time. I really really look forward to the day when I can download Unread, find this lovely addition to the feature set, and then give it pride of place on my iphone forever. I’ll also give it 5 stars on that glorious day.

Unread is a great full featured RSS app. Do yourself a favor and try it out.

No nav buttons and can’t even find a way to add an rss url. A far departure from common sense
