I switched to newsbeuter a while ago after waiting for the Reeder update way too long, unfortunately I never figured out a way to setup a proper "open this in my default browser in the background" shortcut so I guess I'll give Reeder another shot. I hope the update is coming to the MAS as well. Bought it a while ago and I'd be hesitant to pay again for a software which was functional for a year and felt abandoned after the Google Reader shutdown.
Despite being a long time Reeder fan that used the app daily on the iPad and happily paid for v2, I recently switched to Mr Reader due to the lack of Updates and the rather barebones state of Reeder since v2. Unless I missed something very obvious there wasn't even back/forward navigation when navigating a web view in Reeder.
While Mr Reader's design isn't quite as clean and I preferred Reeders sliding panels/views, it's as rich in features as a daily user could hope. Especially when it comes to supported third party services and apps. There are in fact a dozen third party that you can choose from in Mr Reader for iPad.
I've been using ReadKit (http://readkitapp.com) for a while. It's very similar to Reeder, it supports a lot of services for syncing and works flawlessly. As a long time Reeder user in Mac and iPhone, I'll be giving it another chance, though.
NewsBlur Support would be nice.
Also support for immediately loading the page linked to in the rss is a feature I've been asking for since v1 ... would be cool to see that included.
Otherwise, I'm just glad to have a desktop RSS tool again :)
Former readkit/feedly user here. This is definitely an upgrade for me. It has an awesome article view, and way better interaction animations. Almost perfect.
I also use Digg Reader, but it seems dead. No API, no recent improvements, gets super slow when you keep scrolling down... Almost a year later and we don't have anything that comes close to Google Reader's speed and usefulness!
True. It's actually not too bad for me but I only have a few feeds (maybe around 10) that I keep in it. After the demise of Google Reader I reduced how many I subscribed too.
I have hundreds of feeds. If I don't keep up reading several times a day, scrolling down becomes impossible due to the exponentially increasing slowness on both latest Chrome and Firefox, so, I can't really catch up with updates. Never ever had such issues on Google Reader!
formly reeder user, then readkit..now trying reeder 2.. seems more smoothly than readkit.. BTW, open in chrome service is disabled, I can't toggle it, hope enable it soon..
