RSS On the iPhone: Our Solution
Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by iPhone App Reviewer in Tips
RSS is quickly becoming very popular and what better then to have it on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or other mobile device? Here we’ll show you two online RSS reader’s that have very good mobile sites.
First up, bloglines. Bloglines uses the traditional web app framework so naturally the user interface is smooth and simple. Feeds are easy to scroll through and each feed name will show how many unread posts. There’s a very helpful search feature to filter through articles and feeds. Bloglines includes a few settings but nothing near the amount as the desktop version. If you get tired of the mobile version there is a link to the full bloglines. Bloglines allows you to pin, and email all posts in feeds which is a great and hella useful feature.

Google Reader’s interface is perhaps the fanciest. You can view by feed, all read, and all unread posts. Google Reader allows you to share, and email posts. It also allows you to star posts so you can read them for later via the ‘Starred Items’ list. Unfortuantely Google Reader lacks settings and the interface can be slow sometimes. Luckily, Google Reader’s mobile version is very close to the desktop version.
