About Reeder 4
A news reader for iOS with support for various sync services.
Reeder 4 adds new features like…
- The new Bionic Reading mode
- An in-app Read Later service which syncs with iCloud
- Image previews in the articles list (finally)
- Search
- Much improved article viewer
- More layout options
- Automatic reader view
- More shortcuts, matching the ones of Reeder for Mac
Supported sync services:
- Feedbin
- Feedly
- Feed Wrangler
- FeedHQ
- NewsBlur
- The Old Reader
- Inoreader
- BazQux Reader
- Instapaper
- Pocket
If you want to use a self-hosted service, Reeder should work with services which use the Fever or the Google Reader API. Or just standalone RSS (without syncing) if you don't want to use any service.
Reeder 4 is also available for macOS.
Please note: If you rely on image caching, this feature unfortunately wasn't ready for the 4.0 release but it's in the works.

May 14, 2019
WHAT'S NEW:
• Option to group article list by feed
• New appearance options (see settings -> 'Appearance'):
- Hide unread/starred counts in the subscriptions list
- Hide favicons in the articles list

If you want to reopen the list without removing read items, you can do that by swiping left from the subscriptions list back to the article list.
CHANGED:
• Remember Bionic Reading mode state between app launches
• Improved Reader View

• Mark above/below as read sometimes failed to mark all items

4.0.2
May 1, 2019
This update should address issues when using a self-hosted service with the Fever API:
- New setting "Refresh on server". Default is ON, this also applies to accounts you have already added in Reeder. If enabled, this will trigger a refresh of all feeds on the server before syncing (if the service supports this). Depending on how many feeds you have, this might take some time. You can turn this off if refreshing happens automatically on the server for your self-hosted service.
- Reeder now isn't that strict anymore when parsing responses from the server. This should hopefully address most issues with other (than Fever) self-hosted services which support the Fever API.
- Fixed another issue affecting tt-rss users.

4.0.1
Apr 30, 2019
New: Group by feed, kind of. Instead of having a potentially huge list with all items grouped by feed, there's a new pull-to gesture when reaching the bottom of the article list. You now can pull to open the article list of the next feed.
This pull-to is configurable, you can set it to
- Open next feed
- Mark all as read
or just disable it alltogether.
In addition to that, you can now choose between closing the article list (current default) or opening the next feed after marking all as read (new, see settings > "General").
New: "Add to Reading List" as a swipe action option in the article list (see settings > "Gestures")
New: Configurable "Mark all as read" button position (see settings > "General")
Fixed: Items reappearing as unread (standalone RSS)
Changed: Navigation and swipe gesture resistance now matches the one of Reeder 3
