6/12/2023 0 Comments Readkit ios![]() It’s not my daily RSS client, but it’s so good, especially on the iPad, that I keep it installed and have been using it more and more. However, if you use a different RSS service, or read your feeds primarily on iPhone and iPad, I highly recommend trying ReadKit. Personally, though, the number one deal-breaker on the Mac side of things is the lack of support for Inoreader, the RSS feed service I use, which is supported on iOS and iPadOS version of ReadKit but not the Mac. Perhaps the big change is that ReadKit is now a universal app which means it has the same features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Very little has changed with the Mac version over the past few years other than bug fixes and compatibility updates, and it has begun to show throughout the app. ReadKit has long been one of the best ways to read RSS feeds and now it's better than ever with a big version 3.0 update that adds a ton of features and changes to the mix. The only thing holding me back from using it full-time is the Mac app, which is a separate purchase from the iPhone and iPad version. The design adopts modern iOS and iPadOS conventions and technologies, making it a pleasure to use. I’ve used the app a lot on the iPad, and it’s fantastic.

ReadKit is a full-featured read later and RSS client that supports all major provider and it has a built in RSS engine too. Readkit has been my favoured RSS reader on Mac for many years so it was an easy purchase to make when released for iOS.
