Wave Reader vs Ridealong

Wave – Reading, the way it should be. Wave is an RSS reader for people who want to read with intention again. No infinite feed, no ads, no algorithm deciding for you. You follow the sources that matter to you – Wave delivers them calmly, quickly, and beautifully. Reading comes first The reading mode is the heart of Wave. Full articles instead of truncated previews – even when a feed only offers a teaser, Wave fetches the complete text and formats it cleanly. Images, tables, videos, and quotes appear exactly where they belong. A full-bleed, distraction-free reading space puts the words front and center. Tuned to you Six reading themes (from light through sepia to night mode) and six font families let you shape the page the way your eyes like it. Dynamic Type and VoiceOver are fully supported. Your data stays yours Wave is built local-first. Your articles and reading progress stay on your device – never uploaded to someone else's cloud. Your feeds and folders sync privately across your Apple devices via iCloud. No selling accounts, no tracking, no profiles. Organization that keeps up Sort your subscriptions into folders, keep an eye on what's unread, and keep reading offline – once loaded, an article is always there for you. Native to Apple Wave feels like a real part of your iPhone: modern system design, fluid gestures, sign in with Apple or just start as a guest. Download Wave and give reading its place back.
