After nearly 9 months of waiting, the highly-anticipated update to Reeder, arguably the most popular Google Reader client around, is finally here. The update brings the application to version 3.0.
The major revision includes a subtle UI redesign and a laundry list of new, and much-needed, features like feed management and multi-account support. Keep reading for a full list of the changes…
- Fever syncing
- Much improved Readability syncing
- Multi-Account support (for Google Reader and Fever)
- In-app settings
- Subscribe and unsubscribe (Google Reader only)
- Text size and line height options in the article viewer
- QUOTE.fm sharing
- Buffer sharing
- Swipe right/left to toggle unread/starred (configurable for both directions)
- Two-finger swipe up/down to mark as read above/below
- Swipe right to go back to article list
- Swipe left to open in-app browser
- Pinch-to-zoom for images
- Pinch to toggle Readability
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a major update. The entire app was rewritten from the ground up, and the developer, Silvio Rizzi, couldn’t have done a better job. This is about as good as it gets for Google Reader clients.
I honestly felt the ability to subscribe and unsubscribe to new feeds in-app alone was worth the upgrade, but if you still need more convincing, our friend Federico Viticci over at MacStories has put together a much more comprehensive review.
If you’re looking to checkout Reeder for yourself, you can find it in the App Store for $2.99.
