How I moved from Reeder to Feedly and did it right

Reeder has been a sacred cow for all iOS nicknames who like or should, like me, read RSS for work. The program provided a cool user-friendly interface, was beautiful and relied on the then-alive Google Reader. Sharma was added to the program by the fact that one guy makes it - a kind of Jedi programmer. We loved both him and his product. Then Google Reader began to be cowardly and the incomprehensible began. Although Reeder took over all the feeds from GReader, it really couldn't stick them anywhere. There were attempts to sell us an incomprehensible paid cloud, dancing with the Feedly cloud. But in the end, this is what happened: the author cut Reeder from the App Store, then it just stopped working on the iPad the day Google Reader died.

But today some kind of incomprehensible situation happened. Author Silvio Rizzi launched Reeder 2. It is universal and now works on both iPhone and iPad. But now he is asking me again for $ 4.99. The comic situation is that I bought different versions for the iPhone and for the iPad. Now pay again?

Still, it's great that before that I managed to move to the iOS version of the free Feedly reader, which is available on all platforms, is free and has a powerful cloud inside, on which it all relies. Silvio's hot offer is now not interesting and is a little offensive for those who previously paid very tangible money. Forgot about the Jedi …

Here's how to read Feedly and not pay the greedy Silvio a dime more.

This is what the new Reeder 2 looks like:

For iPad:

For iPhone:

I cannot say that there is a reason to buy a new reader with an incomprehensible development strategy and relying on some crutches.

In general, Feedly is perfect for fluent reading of subscriptions. Each category of subscriptions or posts of one blog is for you a mini-magazine that you can read fluently like on a counter in a store, or meticulously, like in a toilet or bathroom. All Feedly controls are convenient and simple strokes across the screen. Perfect convenience far beyond what we have known with Reeder.

I recorded a short hand-held video that shows how easy it is to read an entire section of subscriptions (it's difficult to explain in words, don't judge strictly).

If you are thinking about buying a Reeder 2, then stop fooling yourself and give your child $ 5 for something tasty. Use the best and, most importantly, thoughtful solutions.
