- Read scrolling news from multiple sources at a time - Personally, I don't watch TV at all. I don't even own a TV set. It's not that I'm poor. I just feel that watching TV is a waste of time. Yet, I visit one web site to anther to read news. Yes, I'm a news junkie. Wouldn't it be nice if you could read news from multiple sources at a time instead of visiting one web site to another? That's what AllNews is for. AllNews is a mobile app for iPhone and iPad users who would like to read multiple RSS news feeds at a time instead of visiting one news web site after another.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RSS Wear at 46% against AllNews's 0%. RSS Wear also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). AllNews's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (3.0 vs 2.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RSS Wear sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AllNews sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AllNews holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RSS Wear has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of RSS Wear's written reviews are positive against 0% of AllNews's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
