![]() ![]() This doesn’t mean that Reeder 4 is a bad reading experience, just that out of the box I like Unread more. The font choices and line height settings out of the box are by far the best of any reading experience on iOS. On the beauty of the text reading front, Unread would still be my choice. Well Reeder came out with version 4 in late April so let’s put them head to head to see what my RSS reader of choice is moving forward. It didn’t support the iPad Pro well, and the reading experience barely held a candle to what Unread was providing. Now Reeder 3 wasn’t amazing on the iPad Pro. I love a touch interface, but reaching up to the iPad all the time makes Unread feel handicapped. The longer Unread has gone without any keyboard support, the more frustrated I’ve been with it’s lack as I sit at my desk reading and writing about the articles. That’s not to say that Unread hasn’t been getting updates, but they’ve been stability and bug fixes instead of feature enhancements. Both keyboard navigation and subscription management are high priorities for future versions. Yes, Unread responded to my criticism over 200 days ago saying it was on their list, but it’s been 200 days with no update on that Thank you for using and writing about Unread. Unread had no keyboard shortcuts, which seems fairly problematic as more and more users are making their iPad’s their main work machine. You can’t subscribe or unsubscribe from anything inside Unread.įor that reason alone I kept Reeder 3 around but it wasn’t my only issue with Unread. Now Unread has some faults, most glaringly it’s entire lack of the ability to manage any aspect of your feeds. ![]() It was so much better I felt that Instapaper needed to take a step forward to keep up. A while ago I said that Unread was the new bar for having a beautifully readable interface for your text based content. ![]()
