Blöðin safna saman fríblöðum og tímaritum íslenskra útgefenda á einum stað, svo þú getir flett þeim, lesið og leitað í þeim öllum. • Nýjustu tölublöðin: forsíður allra blaða efst og eldri tölublöð þar fyrir neðan. • Leitaðu í öllum blöðunum í einu: finndu orð í texta allra blaða aftur í tímann og opnaðu síðuna þar sem það kemur fyrir. Þrengdu leitina við ákveðin blöð eða dagsetningar. • Lestu eins og á pappír: flettu síðu fyrir síðu eða skrunaðu, þysjaðu inn og leitaðu í blaðinu sem þú ert að lesa. • Lestu án netsambands: tölublöð sem þú hefur sótt opnast líka þegar þú ert ekki með netsamband. • Tilkynningar: fáðu að vita þegar nýtt tölublað kemur út af blöðum sem þú fylgir. • Ljóst og dökkt útlit, á íslensku og ensku, á iPhone og iPad.

Hafðu samband á utgafa@blodin.is. — In English — Blöðin brings together the free newspapers and magazines of Icelandic publishers in one place, to browse, read and search them all. • The latest issues: every paper's newest cover at the top, earlier issues below. • Search every paper at once: find a word in the text of every issue back through the years and open the page it's on. Narrow it down to certain papers or dates. • Read it like paper: turn page by page or scroll, zoom in, and search the issue you're reading. • Read offline: issues you've downloaded open without a connection. • Notifications: hear when a new issue of a paper you follow comes out. • Light and dark, in Icelandic and English, on iPhone and iPad. Blöðin is free, and there's nothing to sign up for. Do you publish a free paper or magazine and want it on Blöðin? Get in touch at utgafa@blodin.is.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blöðin at every 3 days against Sveriges Radio's fortnightly. Sveriges Radio's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
