Feeds - the reader that builds feeds and learns your taste, all on your phone. • Turn any website into a feed - even ones with no RSS. Feeds reads a page's actual structure to find the articles, so you can follow your kid's school site, your local team, or a blog that's never heard of RSS. Standard RSS, Atom and JSON Feed work too, of course. • A real on-device AI, not a filter list. Mark articles good or bad (or just keep reading - it notices) and an on-device model reorders what you see next. It's the same engine behind your main feed, your daily push, and your widget - one brain, not three separate gimmicks. Traditional group-by-source included too, of course. • Actually private, not just "AI-labeled." The model that learns your taste never leaves your device - no analytics, nothing. • One push a day, hand-picked by your AI - not "top stories for everyone," top stories for you. • A home-screen widget curated by that same AI, always current. • Mute topics instantly - no waiting around for an algorithm to catch on. • Full-text search that's actually instant, across your whole archive. • Full-article offline downloads - read on a plane, underground, wherever. • Read inline, then just keep scrolling. New articles always land below, never on top, so you never lose your place or need to pull-to-refresh. • Free to download. Unlock premium features if you want them, or use it free forever. No account required. The app is a free download with many features included! You can unlock all remaining features with a one time purchase OR a subscription: • The subscription is called 'Premium Monthly' and it will renew on a monthly basis • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period • Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal • Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to iCloud's Account Settings after purchase Read the app's terms of use: https://feeds-app.com/eula.html Read the app's privacy policy: https://feeds-app.com/privacy.html

Next comes the information. We ask you to tune your interests so that you can see news articles based on your interests. However, Views isn't just another news reading application. In order to help you stay up to date in your busy lives, we utilize artificial intelligence to analyze a news article and present you with an informed summarized version. Of course, not all of us have the time to read at our own pace which is why we give you the option of saving articles offline so you can read them at a later date. Another great way to stay updated is to tune in to your favorite podcasts. WIth Views 4, we introduce an all-new podcast player designed only for you. You can save your favorite podcasts and download individual episodes for offline listening. Whether you're driving or simply prefer an auditory experience over a visual experience, we've made sure to help you. Finally, all this information means we need a great way to organize and search through it. Once again, we've relied on machine learning for this task. Rather than fine-tune every aspect of your search, simply search using natural language. For example: "Search all podcasts for latest news" or "Display the top technology news" gives you just that. Nothing that you wouldn't expect. ------------------------------- There's a lot of noise in today's social medias and it can be hard to determine what's true and what's fake. We decided we had enough of the shouting matches online so we take very great care in sourcing our articles from reliable sources (powered by NewsAPI). In a world where the news we receive can be questionable and sometimes opposing, Views 4 wants to present information with beautiful clarity, both visually and audibly, so what are you waiting for?
