NetNewsWire is one of the most powerful RSS readers for iPhone and iPad, and it’s getting even better with a new update released today. NetNewsWire 6 is now available on the App Store with new features including iCloud sync, Home screen widgets, and more.
Stuart Breckenridge, one of the developers behind NetNewsWire, detailed the update in a blog post today. ICloud sync is a particularly noticeable improvement as it allows you to sync feeds to your Apple devices without resorting to a third-party service of any kind:
ICloud sync is a game-changing feature if you want to sync your feeds to your Apple devices and don’t want to use a third-party sync service to do so.
You can enable iCloud sync in the app by going to Settings> Add Account> iCloud. Once enabled, you can either drag feeds from your existing local account or third-party service to iCloud or add feeds directly using Add Feed and selecting the iCloud account.
From there, it behaves like a local account with one little difference: it’ll sync your feed subscriptions, read, and track statuses on your Apple devices. It’s a really cool feature.
NetNewsWire for iOS now also supports integration with Twitter and Reddit. This means you can see Reddit posts, Twitter mentions and searches, and more, right in the NetNewsWire app.
Finally, NetNewsWire for iOS now also supports Home screen widgets:
There are three variations of Home screen widgets that track your smart feeds: a Today widget, an Unread widget, and a Favorites widget. They come in medium and large sizes. Tapping on the articles will take you directly to the article, while tapping anywhere else will open the app.
NetNewsWire is one of the best and most powerful RSS readers for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. it’s completely free and open-source, and you can download it from the App Store.
