Best RSS Readers for iPad

Subscribing to a blog's RSS is an increasingly common way to stay informed, and Google Reader in turn is the most convenient and "universal" service to collect these subscriptions. These types of services have the great advantage of not needing external applications to view the information, since you can access it from any browser, but there are many applications for our iPad with which accessing your subscriptions is much easier. Let's see what (in my opinion) are the 6 most interesting applications, some free, others paid, for all tastes.

Mr reader

In my opinion the best of all. Support for multiple Google Reader accounts, different configuration possibilities for each account, group your feeds in folders, sort them chronologically or by source of the feed, search for articles ... You can also change the display options to make it your own. In addition to all these options, it supports many services such as Twitter, Delicious, Pocket, Readability, Tumblr, Posterous ... the possibility of opening the articles in any browser you have installed, or sending the links by email, even the complete article if so want. Little to object to this application, except that its price is 3,59 euros.

Reeder for iPad

Very close to Mr Reader is Reeder. Not long ago it was the best application in its category, but the abandonment by its developer, who has nevertheless updated the application for iPhone, has caused it to lose positions. It is unforgivable that a subscription cannot be added from the application itself. Even so, it is still an excellent application, which has the great advantage of having the RSS reader and a Readability reader, two applications in one. Compatible with many services, such as Mr Reader, but with very few (almost zero) customization options. Its developer claims to be working on the iPad application, if it matches the iPhone version, it will go back to my first place, insurance.

Feeder RSS Reader Pro

Feeddler is perhaps the application that I like the least of the three that are paid, but it has an advantage, and that is that it is compatible with iPad and iPhone, which is a point in its favor. Like the others, it supports several Google Reader accounts, support for Readability, Pocket, Tumblr, Delicious, Evernote, what does not convince me? Aesthetically it seems to me the ugliestPerhaps because it is designed for iPhone and iPad, it does not know how to take advantage of the iPad screen to make it more attractive. Still, it is a great option.

Flipboard

Strictly this application cannot be classified as an RSS reader, but within its wide possibilities is to include your Google Reader account, so it perfectly fulfills as an RSS reader, and it is also free. It may be the perfect application for many users. Being able to see your news from Facebook, Twitter, RSS, news, newspapers ... from a single application can be a huge advantage.

But when you have dozens of RSS subscriptions, an application so "beautiful" visually speaking is not practical at all, you need to be able to discriminate at a glance which articles interest you and which ones without having to turn pages and pages to do so. But if you have fewer subscriptions, it may be the ideal one.

Press

Very similar to Flipboard, it has very similar advantages and disadvantages. Visually very careful, it already includes hundreds of blogs that you can add from the application itself, and you can also include the ones you want. It supports Google Reader, but you will not be able to add all your subscriptions directly, instead you will have to add one by one, which is uncomfortable. Very neat, but not suitable for those who handle many subscriptions. Free and designed for iPhone and iPad.

Feedly

With the aesthetics of Flipboard but focused on RSS and Google Reader comes Feedly. An excellent application, free, for iPhone and iPad. Let's say it would be a middle ground between Flipboard or Pulse and a more "professional" reader like Mr Reader. It has fewer compatible services, it misses Readability, although it does include Pocket and Instapaper. Maybe the best option for those who want something more specific to RSS but they don't want to spend the money on an application that offers them options that they will not use.

These are the applications that I have selected for this multi-review. Surely there will be some that I have left and that could have deserved to be inside, such as Newsify that appeared the other day in our article on downgraded applications. What are the ones you use?
