Stella* vs ReadKit

Stella News Reader is a new generation information-gathering tool that is designed to be completely "User-Oriented". Often the information you get from the web can get easily lost in annoying noise, with the character size lacking consistency from site to site and it being difficult to identify important sections, so finding what is truly necessary can be a struggle. This app is equipped with a powerful embedded optimize engine, and publicly published html contents are automatically converted to the display most appropriate for each device, to make, as it were, one unified application UI. Freed from the need to load unnecessary elements, the app operates at high speeds and as the user can freely change the outer appearance and choose the format that the user feels easiest for them to read, the focus can be purely on the content. Users completely take the initiative in relation to the information with unlimited sources of information and the user can expand the source by adding feeds in the same way as with normal readers. Moreover, the UI has been designed carefully in order to enable optimization of screen sizes and rotations for each device, and through extensive use of animation, operation is highly intuitive. Stella is a completely stand alone reader, and can be used without reliance on external services or accounts. You can use the app without divulging your personal information, receiving junk mails or being faced with the possibility of the providers stopping the service. Key Features: - iPhone 6/6 Plus & iOS 8 are fully supported. - All webpages are concurrently parsed by the app's machine learning engine and, rendered as in human-readable appearance form. - Font sizes and themes are customizable for easy reading. You can also select the same appearance as Safari. - Intuitive & animated UI. You can always keep one-handed operation even on landscape mode of iPhone 6 Plus. - No setup is required. In its initial state, the app shows news that is buzzed on major social media. - Sources are extensible as in the manner you like. The app can also be used as an ordinary RSS reader. - Article storing functionality gives you the ability for offline reading. If original pages are deleted from the net, you can keep them forever. - Folders to classify for later reading. Future Updates: We'll work on diversification of available sources and improvements of the app's in-depth customizability, etc.
