Reeder 2 for OS X is available in the Mac App Store
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Almost a year has passed from the time when the Mac version of RSS-aggregator Reeder has died after having left in Google Reader history. And the stars of heaven come together in the order, which will enable developers to program to bring its product not only to a series of public beta versions, but also to place on the virtual shelves of the Apple store.
We have to admit that for him, Silvio Rizzi Reeder is not the priority project, more of a hobby. Therefore, the final version of Reeder for Mac 2, and left when the developer was able to find time for it. And the abundance of new features that would raise Reeder 2 over its predecessor, too, is not observed. So disapproval from many users that the program came the Mac App Store as a new product is priced at $ 10, is quite understandable.
But what the output is still out. Like it or not, but perfectionism Rizzi will not give up: the product is polished almost to perfection.
program management scroller "apple" of the mouse - just a song: Vod finger horizontally and vertically - "Reader" responds with lightning speed and smoothly scroll your panel. It is like the transition from the RSS-related articles to the web page a simple swipe to the left. On the trackpad, as I understand it, all the more interesting and more convenient: the traditional support for Apple trackpads returned to the program in one of the later beta versions.
Well refined visual component. Formatting articles with pictures adaptive: if the images are quite large, "Reader" stretches the entire width of the viewing area of the article. The program options setting, there are five color options Reeder window.
With the first beta also expanded the list of online services, they are now 15, and as the developer plans, this list will continue to expand with further software updates. Set the sources for RSS-streams remains unchanged: Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler and Fever, plus Readability. Go to last, I would add, and other popular deferred reading service: the same Pocket, Instapaper ...
If in the general talk about what the program is missing, then in Reeder is still no support for smart folders, and there is no way Change the order of the simple folders (they stupidly sorted alphabetically, while in the service of the source can be arranged in random order). But beyond measure text settings - why developers have to spend their time to give user to hang for a long time playing with the line spacing and the size of the different text elements, I do not understand.
In general, the product turned out decent, and I'm glad that Reeder is not turned down in the past year. Waiting in a dull web interface Feedly was not in vain for me. :) I am particularly pleased that, in terms of functional desktop version of the program now goes in parallel with the iOS-version Reeder. While I understand that the price of $ 10 for a program that once users have once bought - for many will be a serious reason to think about whether to spend money again. Therefore, this decision leave you. If you decide, - below a link to the purchase.
