RSS ! Incredibly utile but mostly wretched . Or super passably but concentrated to read . With Feedly for Android , you get a great looking and easy to read feed lector . whole works for your Android speech sound and Honeycomb Tablet too .
What is it?
Feedly , Free , Android . Feedly , at its core , is an app for Google Reader . It aim your RSS feeds and splashes them out in a imposter - magazine , almost Windows Phone 7 - fashion , swipey playground slide layout . Which is a involved way to say , Feedly is a effective looking app !
When you afford one of your feed ( permit ’s say for Gizmodo ) , you ’ll see the latest clause on the first page with a big picture and a little blurb . If you find it interesting ( which of course you do ! ) you ’ll exploit the headline and the full clause will pop out on the screen . If you desire to continue scan headlines , just swipe the screen and Feedly will show the next microscope slide of 4 articles ( headline and independent nontextual matter for each ) . Swipe again for more articles , swipe after the last Gizmodo clause for your next feed .
Basically , Feedly defecate it dementedly easy to glance over your web site in a very natural movement . Because it limits how many articles are displayed on each sloping trough , and transition to the next slide in a paginated motion , I was travel rapidly through my feeds much quicker than comb through a tilt on Google Reader . It ’s like quickly thumbing through a magazine as oppose to staring at a table of contents . Very engaging .
Feedly is still in beta , but I did n’t point out any slip ups at all .
Who’s it good for?
right for multitude who like to scan headlines as oppose to reading every Book in every article . Really not bad for people who do n’t have too many internet site laden up in Google Reader . Perfect for the casual RSS lecturer ( if such a individual exists ) who hates staring at list .
Why’s it better than alternatives?
The beautify - RSS - feeds - in - an - app space is growing more and more crowded with the ilk of Feedsquare and Pulse but I like the promise that Feedly is showing . With Feedly , there was n’t a trade-off between elegance and efficiency . For those other salutary lookin ’ RSS apps , the app design is impressive but I always fell back to something unembellished bone like the Google Reader app to get my existent recitation done . Feedly seems to strike the arrant balance between being able to read everything rapidly without want to tear my eyeball out .
How could it be even better?
I like I could collapse all my feeds into folders . I wish I could purloin the screen and go to the next clause in article perspective instead of entreat Next . I wish I could give a priority level to each of my feeds ( some are better suited for mobile , others I ’d rather take on a big screeen ) . I wish it was on more than Android 2.2 + .
