![]() Newstream is $2.99 on the App Store.ĭeveloped by Michael Pringle, Audium is a beautiful, lightweight and gesture-based music player for your iPhone. I think Newstream’s limited feature set might also be its strongest selling point for people looking for a simple way to load a subset of RSS feeds into a separate app with an easy-to-read format. The app doesn’t even sync or import feeds from Google Reader, which means you’ll have to add your favorite blogs manually. Unfortunately, there is no support for Instapaper or Read It Later in the app, which means the reading list won’t sync to other devices or services. Articles can be tweeted, shared on Facebook, emailed to your friends or added to the app’s own reading list. Alternatively, you can tap on a website’s name at the top and instantly jump to another one through a popover menu. When you’re done, you can go back to the main screen, and swipe to another website. The app loads an article’s text and images, and lets you tap on headlines to read the full text in a single-article view. Using regular RSS feeds to fetch a website’s latest articles, Newstream allows you to create a list of favorite sources that will be turned into virtual publications on a newsstand that you can swipe through. While we wait for Flipboard to arrive on the iPhone, Amazing Softworks’ Newstream offers an interesting solution to turn your favorite websites into newspaper-like reading experiences. ![]() Stay tuned for more App Journals in the next weeks.
