"Cutest way to read your RSS"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Dec 19, 2012

Feedly is a really good-looking RSS reader specially designed to make it easier

UPDATE: Since September 2012 update, Feedly's scenery has been enhanced regarding smoothness, accessibility and customization. If before that update Feedly was a great RSS reader, now it's one of the best of its kind.

First off, you can log in with any of your Gmail accounts in order to sync your RSS list. If you haven't added any RSS to your account yet, you can do it also from the app or choose the presets categories that Feedly suggests you. It's true that there are heaps of RSS reader for Android, each one with their specific features. Feedly added value lies on simplicity and cuteness.

Simplicity due to reading is as easy as swiping between RSS entries, tap on categories, select the one you prefer and start again. You can open/close, add to read it later, remove a source, share, copy article URL, change format... among other features.

Cute because it's set on a sober and good-looking layout with cool screen transitions. What's more, it is fast on loading images and in switching from one article to the next. You can go to the original article without leaving the app (there's a browser integrated).

Feedly is an example of how a cute app, with basic features can become a great one if the developer focus on make it usable. That's what Feedly Team did. Must-have.

Developer's original description available here
Feedly is a new way to browse the content of your favorite sites, rss feeds, tumblr blogs and youtube channels. Instead of having to hunt down for information, feedly uses RSS to aggregate the contents of the news sites and blogs you like and deliver them as a fast mobile-optimized experience.

Feedly is an RSS news reader re-imagined for android phones and tablets. It makes browsing faster: the content of your rss feeds and blogs are transformed into pocket-sized cards which load very fast and are easy to browse.

The feedly UI is custom tailored for a 4" phone, a 7" tablet and a 10" tablet. If you run feedly on a tablet, you will get an experience which is very close to a personalized magazine: a really fun way to track and read your favorite blogs.

When you run feedly on a phone and on a tablet, the configuration will automatically syncs between both devices.

Feedly also offers two way sync with Google Reader: articles your read in feedly are automatically marked as read in Google Reader. Articles you save for later in feedly are automatically starred in Google Reader. RSS feeds you add to feedly are automatically added to Google Reader.

Feedly makes sharing content on twitter, facebook and google+ very simple, either directly or using Buffer.

We are continuously improving feedly so if you have any questions or run into an issue, you can reach as at android@feedly.com

    Nice alternative to reader, but lack of any kind of offline archive limits its usefulness

    Now any time I want to open my web browser to read a story, then go back to the section I was in, feedly instead takes me to the start up page...annoying So close to uninstalling the app and looking for a better Google reader replacement.
