Those who use RSS readers in China are scarce, as the majority of China’s internet users - 940 million as of late - receive their dose of news through domestic services, from algorithmic news aggregators such as ByteDance’s Toutiao and WeChat’s built-in content subscription feature to apps of mainstream local outlets. Feed readers of RSS, or Real Simple Syndication, are particularly troubling to the authority because they fetch content from third-party websites, allowing users to bypass China’s Great Firewall and reach otherwise forbidden information, though users have reported not all RSS apps can circumvent the elaborate censorship system. Two RSS reader apps, Reeder and Fiery Feeds, said this week that their iOS apps have been removed in China over content that deemed “illegal” by the local cyber watchdog.Īpps get banned in China for all sorts of reasons. I don’t have a Mac, but if you have, you should definitively check out its Mac OS counterpart.It looks like Apple is scouring its Chinese App Store for any remaining services that may not sit well with Chinese censors. 1Password full integration : This is not a top of the shelf needed update, but it would be great to have a full integration of 1Password (which is compatible with other password managers like Dashlane for third party sharing services (like Pinboard or Instapaper).Īnyways, this update still make Reeder as one of the best -if not the best- RSS reader on iOS.Text justification : Even if some people doesn’t really like justification, I find it helps to make the text more easier to read, and looks better.Adding some choices like or some Serif fonts would be great. Font choices : Helvetica Neue is boring, and doesn’t make text really easy and enjoyable to read.So, this is a very solid update, but I think it’s missing some features, who would be very much welcomed : It also integrates the support of the landscape mode on iOS 8 devices, which fixes the inconvenience of having to launch a embed video on the app or the WebView on Safari if you want too see it in landscape -something you should definitively do when you’re viewing a 16:9 video. It still privileges Reeder own share extensions, which are very good on their own (Instapaper implementation on Reeder is better than with the classic share sheet : you’re not stuck with a loading screen when you’re saving something, it does everything in the background.) The standard iOS share sheet is hidden in Reeder’s custom share sheet, at the right bottom of the screen. New : - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus support - Support for landscape mode (iOS 8 only) - Standard share sheet → “More…” in Reeder’s share panel (iOS 8 only) Fixed : - Various bug fixes for iOS 8 - Failed authentication error handling It’s what can be described as a minor update, but it’s a much needed one. updated for iOS 7 with Reeder 2, Silvio Rizzi finally releases an update for iOS 8. Described as the best RSS app for iOS for a long time by most of the tech scene (and replaced by Jared Sinclair’s/ Supertop Unread by some Apple podcasters), Reeder is still my go-to app when I have to tackle some of my untidy RSS feed. If you’ve ever tried to use RSS on iOS, Reeder is an app that you’ve must have stumbled upon.
