Tagged: reeder 5, ios, macos, ap, app, app store, rss, blog, feedly, feedbin, frank buck, subscribe, social media, home screen, widget, widget stack, homescreen widget It's a great way to stay on top of the news that's important to me. On page two of my home screen, I have this medium sized widget at the bottom that rotates between different news sources: Apple News, Apollo, Feedbin, and Instapaper, the later of the two using the Reeder 5 widget. I also log into my Instapaper account through Reeder 5 and clip articles I want to read later to it with a speedy swipe-left.

If I like a blog, a Twitter account, or an email newsletter, I subscribe to it through Feedbin, and then read my Feedbin articles through Reeder 5. I don't trust social media to show me what I want. Roughly one year later, version 5 is out as a brand new app that takes what Rizzi began last year and extends it further with a host of excellent new features and design refinements. With the release of version 4, developer Silvio Rizzi rebuilt the app on a modern foundation from the ground up. Reeder has been one of the best-designed RSS apps available for a very long time.

Last year we named RSS client Reeder 4 the Best App Update as part of the MacStories Selects awards for a good reason. Reeder 5 Review: Read Later Tagging, iCloud Sync, and Design Refinements - MacStories: It's a really good app and I thought it was worth linking to the review from MacStories if you want to learn more. On episode 18 of Music Ed Tech Talk, Reeder 5 was my App of the Week.

For now, I will probably keep using Reeder for subscribing to blogs. Unfortunately, my favorite feature (Smart Folders) is planned but did not ship with this version. I am really glad to see an iOS version finally come to the iPhone and iPad. I like it because it aggregates my RSS feeds from services like Feedbin alongside my read it later services like Pinboard and Instapaper.

ReadKit is an RSS client that has existed on the Mac for a while. It is a really nice update and has made me want to use the app even more than usual. I particularly like the amount of customization it gives me over the Apple Watch version of the app.Ĭarrot Weather 5 updates the design (it’s pretty!) and allows the user to customize every element of how the data is displayed, down to the pixel. It is simply the best designed and most feature-filled weather app I have found. For me, I use it numerous times a day and that is worth it.Ĭarrot has for long been my favorite weather app on iOS (also on Android). Tweetbot now costs a subscription price of 6 dollars a year.

Now Twitter feels like a news feed that I have curated rather than one curated by someone else or a machine. 75 percent of the issues I had using the old version of Tweetbot are resolved now that I can see consistent image and tweet thumbnails, view polls, and receive push notifications for DMs. Recent changes in the company have started to reverse this decision and Tweetbot 6 reflects these changes. Until recently, Twitter had revoked some of the technology that made third-party Twitter apps good. Tweetbot is a Twitter client with a superior design and shows me the Tweets of the people I follow, in the order that they tweet them. Unfortunately, the Twitter app uses its algorithm to feed me things like ads and promoted Tweets which shows me unwanted clutter and news that I often don’t come to Twitter for. It is a great place to curate an information feed from people who I am interested in.
