Some bad moments
RSS is supposed to be simple -- plain text, no fancy fonts, no fixed widths. RSS Mobile accomplishes that. You can import OPML, so theres no need to sync with Google. The developers site says that groups are a possibility in a future release. If that happens, the app will merit a fifth star.
Nice update. The browser is a good bonus.
All I was looking for was a really simple syndication reader and all I could find were Feedly type products. This is small and simple and has the ability to add a feed that you found and not some feed that was suggested.
This app obviates the long-unnecessary, centralized server portion of the RSS reader package. Why funnel all of your attention data through any one organization? No need to create any user accounts or sign-in to yet another fly-by-night service (worth one star by itself!) with this app.
Id like to see them add iCloud sync so that an iPad version (another thing Id like to see) gets updated with read articles.
I spent a couple of hours looking for a simple RSS app that did the following:
- Not too expensive
- Didnt require hooking into an external syncing service
- Imports OPML files
- Allowed me to read RSS content with a minimum of fuss
If there was an option to purchase at a reasonable price I would have already paid.
Compared with apps that try to grab your attention with fancy UI but lack substance and usability, the uncluttered interface gets out of your way and the notification of unread feed items effectively grabs your attention without being overbearing.
