Simple RSS Push+ Your feeds, delivered. Stop refreshing. Start reading. Simple RSS+ brings your favorite websites directly to you with push notifications. Never miss breaking news, blog posts, or updates again. Why Simple RSS Push+? Widgets Put your headlines on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Choose Headlines for a list, or Spotlight for one story shown large with its image. Pick which feeds, folders, bookmarks or saved searches each widget draws from, set its background color and text size, and choose how often it rotates through your articles. Tap any headline to open that article. Widgets are a one-time in-app purchase. Push Notifications Get alerted about new articles. Customize alerts per feed - choose which sources notify you and which stay quiet. Tap a notification to open the article it is about. Discover Not sure where to start? Discover is a hand-picked catalog of feeds in twenty categories - News, Technology, Science, Design, Gaming, Retro Computers and more. Tap as many as you like and add them in one go. The catalog is published in 19 languages, and each one is its own set of feeds rather than a translation of the same list, so you can switch to the Japanese, German, Korean or Brazilian catalog and find what people there actually read. Two Columns on a Wide Screen Open an iPhone Duo, or turn an iPhone Air on its side, and the article opens beside its list - tap a headline on the left, read on the right, and tap another to swap it in place. Your feeds, your bookmarks and your saved searches all work this way, and one button sends the article full screen when you want the whole page. Settings and Find Articles use both columns too. Beautiful Themes Three themes to read in: Aqua, Classic, and Terminal in green, amber or chrome. Aqua and Classic follow your system's light and dark setting, or stay on the one you prefer. The app icon changes to match your theme, or keeps the default if you would rather it did not. Stay Organized Group feeds into folders. Save articles to bookmarks. Create bookmark folders for your research, recipes, or reading list - whatever you need. Ignore Filters Tired of a topic? Hide or delete articles by a word in the title or author, feed by feed, with case-sensitive and whole-word matching. A review screen shows you exactly what is being hidden before anything is deleted. Import and Export Take your subscriptions with you as OPML - custom feed names, folders, saved searches and your own ordering all come across. Smart Search Search across all your feeds or just specific ones. Save searches to instantly find new matching articles every time you open them. Share Anywhere Share articles or open them in your preferred browser - all without leaving the app. Built-in Browser Read full articles in-app, with ad blocking that clears banners, pop-ups and the video players that follow you down the page. One tap to open externally when you need it. Read Faster Mark all as read with one tap. Auto-hide read articles. Touch and hold any feed or folder for quick actions. Spend less time managing, more time reading. Languages: English, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese RSS is not dead - it is the best way to take control of your news. No algorithms. No ads. Just the content you chose, delivered when it is published.
