Posted May 27, 2014 at 4:30pm by iClarified · 5676 views
Reeder 2 has been updated with background app refresh, a loading progress indicator for the in-app browser, group by feed or date for smart streams, and more.

Reeder is a client for:
- Feedbin
- Feedly
- Feed Wrangler
- Fever
- Readability
Don't want to use a third-party service? Reeder also supports local/standalone RSS (no sync).

What's New In This Version:
What’s new:
- Background app refresh (per account setting, disabled by default)
- Loading progress indicator for the in-app browser
- Smart streams now also support grouping by feed or date
- New setting to disable favicons for subscriptions/article list (see Settings → General)
- Reeder now can handle feed links (feed://) from external apps
- Added navigation pan (right/left) to toolbars and empty spaces in list views (in addition to the left and right screen edges)
- Added a drag handle to the browser toolbar to make it clearer that you can slide right/left to go back/forward

Changed:
- Pocket integration now uses OAuth
- Pinboard integration now uses API token
- Sharing via Messages now includes the title and link
- Updated appearance of article list entries (moved the “unread dot” to the upper right of the row, same as in the current Reeder for Mac beta)

Fixed:
- That really annoying bug where an article might just disappear when launching the app
- Multiple Feedly accounts
- OPML import issues
- Disappearing status bar (white theme on iPad)
- Don’t select entries when scrolling
- Browser scroll issues with fixed elements
- Missing scrollbars in the browser
- Missing scrollbars for dark themes
- Improved Fever error handling (re-login bug)

You can purchase Reeder 2 from the App Store for $4.99.
