Ziner - RSS Reader that believes in simplicity app good for
I tried a lot of feedly clients, both free and not, and Ziner clearly stands out. Fast, beautiful, responsive... Excellent app.
The best compliment is to see your idea is being copied. Did you check Feedly lately? It took a lot of ideas from this app but it is still not as good. I hope the developer has not quite on this project and is working to iron out the small hickups.
The only app I open deaily.
It is fast and has a great integration with readability (automatic conversion with one click). On the other hand, the automatic content refresh is very annoying. The app simply refresh the whole screen no matter if Ive already started to read something. After the refresh the news is gone and its not possible to find it again since its already marked as "read". Saving to Pocket also requires improvement: not possible to tag.
I like the simple flat design. Background refresh would be a top feature.
i am using this app for many months. i love the grid view with these big images and the doubletap to leave the article view. the readability feature is great, but there should be an option to autoload in readability mode. furthermore the custom share menu should be replaced by apples (new) standard share menu. i am missing the function to share to a slack channel. anyway this app is absolutely awesome.
The Ziner app does a good job aggregating different topics of interest but adding new topics should be a little more straightforward than having to go into the settings of the app.
It should have a button right on the main page to adder edit the topics and feeds.
Some bad moments
The app silently dropped standalone mode, requiring you to register in 1 of 3 services.
One star.
This app is no longer being updated. Recommend using any of the other maxing RSS Readers for iOS. Try Reeder 3, Newsify, Feedly, or Fiery Feeds.
Very fast RSS reader, but article font is too small and theres no option to change it.
Unfortunately no way to log into your Feedly account if you created one using eMail and not Google. Cant use the app. A fix would be awesome.
This app is okay for people who have a set of RSS feeds they will read or skim once.
The navigation is a pain, and keys are tiny tiny. I have a feeling this was designed for phones and not for iPads.
This and past versions are unusable. The app will refresh the feed and kick you out of the article youre currently reading. This happens every 5mins or so when connected to the Internet. Ive reported this to support a few times this year. No update has corrected this annoyance. I paid for the "pro" version as well.
Its a pity because the app has so much potential to be the best rss aggregator.
Many features make this app standout, among them: readability, sharing options, auto night time theme, and adjusting the cache size. Its only real competitor is Reeder. Who I will now be switching to.
