Ziner - RSS Reader that believes in simplicity App recensioner

زبان پارسی اظافه شود

I’ve tried many readers and this is my favorite for simplicity. One complaint I have is the lack of the ability to choose our own sync interval. Instead the app syncs on its own which is terribly annoying when your in the middle of scrolling through your feeds or reading a story

Fix the authorization or remove it from the store.

Update the app to support the new devices and features please. ;-) Then you get 5 stars.

This is my favorite way to read all the blogs I subscribe to, but when I got the new iPhone X I can’t sign in with my google account?! Please fix!

Very fast RSS reader, but article font is too small and there's no option to change it.

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.

I love Ziner but it's now looking abandoned. Would pay again for future updates.

I love it. I've tried many RSS Feedly apps. This is my fav.

Overall a good clean reader but it has some problems and bugs that pop up from time to time. For example when I play embedded video in the article, changing phone orientation will reset video playback. Very annoying.

1. Simplicity in user options. 2. Beautiful interface that you expect when you purchase an iPhone. 3. Ease of navigation. 4. Ability to add feeds, read within, and save articles - exceptional. The combination - unbeatable

I like the app overall, but it desperately needs share sheet access. I don't use the default mail app and have no way to share articles as a result.

Crashed three times in the first five minutes of using it. Deleted immediately.

I used to use this app exclusively but with iOS 9, the sharing features cause constant crashing with no fix in sight.

I can't post to Twitter anymore because the the input doesn't show up with the keyboard.

Intuitive controls (best out of all the readers). Default readability view. Multiple views. Mark read on scroll. Can automatically change background/text color by time (dark at night, light at day). This is the one you want.

I've been using this app as my main RSS reader over a few months. Great features, but the app constantly freezes and requires a restart. Worst yet, it hasn't been updated for over a year and a half.

Tried dozens of others! This is the best clean minimal easy to use app out there! Been using for two years!

This is the reader I use the most. The only thing I cannot stand is when I leave the app for a moment and come back I lose the article that I'm reading because the app refreshes when you return. STOP THAT!!

This is a nice clean way to read my feedly feeds. No progress bar so it can make you think it's hung up syncing on slow connections. I wish it let you choose a folder to start in or start in last folder rather than all items. Also I miss the tap along the side interface of nextgen reader on windows phone. Less work on the finger joints than swiping each entry to mark as read.

Clean intuitive fast and simple

No connection to developer at all... App is okay as is with a few exceptions: 1. While you can change the font in the summary display you can't change the excruciatingly small article font. For this reason alone I'm going to find another reader. 2. The UI needs tweaking to more easily select and control read, save, share, mark all etc. Right now it is like an Easter egg hunt to find any controls. Good start but needs polishing.

Awesome feedly client for iPhone 6+.

Display is now iPhone 6+ optimized. Graphics are stunning, with automatic display options. The developer is actively working on enhancements and responsive via Twitter. I discovered that a double-tap on an article headline will return me to the article list Would be helpful to include this in the directions that appear on the interface when installed.

This is the perfect reader app. Perfected for iPhone 6 now.

I have tried many RSS apps and this one is my favorite. I love the gesture based navigation and the minimalistic design. It does almost everything you need. The only thing I miss is the ability to use tags in Feedly (but I use this so rarely that it's not worth having a different app that does). It even shows mouse over text from popular sites like xkcd. It's well worth paying for the pro version, especially now that it supports iOS 8 and the iPhone 6's.

Can we have it?

I would like a "search" in the App like you have in the favorites section.

Very nice list view with image previews. It's got a lot of options to change how it looks like an auto day/sunset/dark mode, moving image previews to the right, disabling list view, and using a larger format view. I also love that you can have readability on for an entire feed instead of having to manually turn it on for every feed like in Reeder 2. The only thing I don't like is that it sometimes doesn't use the natural iOS gestures and instead a little swipe to right will cause it jump back instead of smoothly following your finger like iOS does.

Ziner has a lot of promise, but a bug hinders it! Many articles have portions missing or blocked and there is no sense upgrading until that is fixed! I'd like to see the ability to select a particular feed as the default view instead of all as an option! I like the fact that you have a choice between list view and magazine view! I use it and others to replace Zite which Flipboard is letting decline! I don't use Flipboard because the flow is disjointed and screwed up from my perspective! I like a clean magazine view! That's why I rarely use pulse also! Fix Ziner developers!

Interaction with this app doesn't seem obvious. I keep accidentally finding things I didn't know were there. But the more I use it, the better it gets. It has replaced Reeder on my devices. Agree with review that said the swipes from left side are erratic. Also note inconsistency between iPad & iPhone on swipe from right: in iPad, it marks the item as read, while in iPhone, it turns on readability. I prefer the former.

1. YouTube functions incorrectly when a full screen video playing through the app is rotated to landscape. The video closes and upon returning to portrait mode the app content shifts up and becomes unusable until the app is closed and restarted. 2. The edge swiping gesture is very unpredictable and needs to be addressed. There seems to be an indistinguishable difference in gestures required to make the app go back to the article list vs switching between articles. This could easily be addressed by setting the top half of the screen to take you between articles and the bottom back to the article list. I would also like to see a toggle-able option in settings to turn of article-article swiping all together 3. This one is small, but you should consider incorporating the sync notifications that drops down into the system bar instead of having the overhang which affects visibility and usability to see how this would work while fitting into existing iOS design guidelines check out how the Mailbox app by Dropbox refreshes

This was one of the fastest rss news readers out there. I loved it. Now it's very slow and all I see is the " loading articles" spinner. I am deleting it now

This is my favorite rss reader on the iPhone, and I own reeder 2, unread, feedly, newsify, and a host of others. It syncs amazingly fast and has a much more natural interface. I wish it had native iPhone 6 support and updated the unread count badge when doing a background refresh. Otherwise, it's great.

this is very good. I love this app.

Crashes on startup on latest generation iPad and iPhone 5s.

Want to give this app 5 stars, but it's a data hog. I've looked all over the settings to see what can be changed, but haven't found a solution yet. In 2 weeks of use on my commutes (only time I use it on my cell network) it consumed over 900MB of data. Other than that, it applies easy to learn gestures and doesn't try to complicate things like most other readers.

{22 September update: AND WE'RE BACK!!!} Looks like all is well with iOS 8 now and my favorite reader is back in action. Thanks! ------ And I really am bummed. Zinger was the only RSS reader that I use. Great functionality and a good looking app; however, it is now only good at one thing, listing the articles in your feeds. Try to read an article and the app crashes. This is true on every iOS device I own. Worse yet, after the app crashes, you lose that article you wanted to read. Let's get to work developers. As a paying user, I really would like to use the app. 😂

iOS8 bugs have been resolved. All is well. Strikes a nice balance between apps the present articles as a magazine and those that are merely lists. Readability integration provides a quick way to read an entire article without visiting the website.

Fixed for iOS8 now. Still the best rss reader out there!

The app is really great but never following system updates. That happened with ios 7 and now with 8.

Crashes constantly

Here’s my original review: "The RSS reader I've been waiting years for. Simple, clean, elegant, smooth. Someone was finally listening! I'm in!" I was so excited to finally find an app like this, even bought the Pro version. But within the last few weeks, it’s crashed a few times and froze. I’ve emailed support, no response at all. And since iOS 8 was installed on my phone, it crashes every time I try to open an article. Again, sent to support, no response at all. Until it gets fixed or updated, I wouldn’t recommend this app at all, especially if you’re running iOS 8.

It Was a very good app but, Force close and crash after updated to iOS 8, plz fix this soon I really need this app !

Sep 18, 2014: a day later after install iOS 8, the app keeps crashing after opening first article. This is the same on both the iPhone and the iPad. This has to be fixed for it to be usable on ios 8. Hence I'm lowering my rating to 1 from 4 until this is fixed. Sep 17, 2014: I've been using this app for a bit now both on the iPhone and iPad, and find that it generally provides a really nice experience. Having said that, there are a couple of features that I think would elevate the app further. 1. Ability to organize the folders/categories in the feed. Now the top level is alphabetically sorted. Most of the other apps I've used provides this feature and I'd love to see the same here. 2. A way to see the folders/categories for the starred items rather than grouping all starred items into one group, "Starred". This is something that Reeder provides and it's really useful. Thanks for all the work making this app as good as it is today.

I really want to love this app. It unfortunately crashes all the time.

It's really good app. Especially auto readerbility function is very useful. I want just one more feature that can make designating front page when i open the app. And please updete it asap for ios8. I use this app everyday life. But it shut down accidentally on ios8. Anyway thanks for making this app!

Ziner is simple, visual and fast. I've tried and paid for many feed apps and just get annoyed with them after a while and stop using it. Ziner I haven't stopped using. The 4 day trial was a great way to test it out and really appreciate the thought and design of it.

I had almost bought it when i realised that it wasn't updating in the background for offline viewing later. I wanted to read some content and the whole thing was blank, even each folder was blank so it wasn't a home page bug or something
