The weather shown here is much more detailed than the one in Newsstand, so if you’re going to be using this, you won’t need another weather service. There is also a ‘For you’ section that shows you articles based on your interests. Flipboard is a great service if you care about aesthetics when viewing your articles. It gets the name from its article viewing or browsing style, where you need to ‘flip’ to view the next page or the next headline. Flipboard allows you to follow categories, or create categories and add all the topics you want to it. It offers almost everything a news and reading app should and adds a social element to it. It allows you to like, share, or flip an article into a magazine. Magazines are collections of articles, that you can create and share, or keep it to yourself. You can even flip articles that you found on the web into your own magazine. It also allows you to follow other users and view their magazines and updates. But, as they say, nobody’s perfect, and Flipboard isn’t either.
Flipboard doesn’t have the ‘read later’ type of option available in some services, where you can just hit save and have them offline. While saving them in a magazine and fetching it for offline does sound like a good alternative, the offline version of the app is a bit glitchy and makes it hard to access the magazine at all. Before all these news services and apps came into the scene, we had RSS, which allowed us to get updates from any sites we wanted, which includes news sites. RSS has been around a long time, and it’s still alive and well. The core of Feedly is just RSS. We subscribe to sources, add them, categorise them into folders, and view the articles or updates. That’s the basic function. Inoreader is another RSS reader that’s been around for a long time. It has features similar to Feedly, which includes organizing sources into folders, read later section, muting keywords, adding unlimited sources, all for free. It also allows you to favourite articles, add tags, get alerts based on keywords, and send articles to any connected device.
It has multiple types of subscription plans, with each one offering more features than the previous one. Some of them include - an ad-free experience, having your entire folders offline, translating articles, searching within articles, customizable dashboard, social media feeds, and password protection for feeds. Inoreader also has the teams feature similar to Feedly. But Inoreader also has something called ‘Rules’ which is a type of automation that allows you to sort the incoming feeds based on keywords or sources, but it comes with the paid subscription. Most of these options cannot be seen in the mobiles devices, which may seem like a simple version of the website, so you may want to check out both the site and the apps before you make your decision. So, if you’re going to become a paid subscriber of Feedly or Inoreader, you might want to go in-depth to see which one suits your needs. Nuzzel offers a few different ways to get your news. You can connect your social profile, and it will show you the articles shared by your friends and followers, and their friends and followers.
