Real push notifications for RSS. When a new article goes live, your phone lights up — even when the app is closed.
Most RSS apps check for updates only when iOS lets them — maybe once an hour, maybe less. Simple RSS+ is different: new articles are pushed to your iPhone as notifications, even when the app is closed.
Paste a URL — Simple RSS+ finds the RSS feed automatically. Or import OPML from any reader.
The site updates its feed. Could be 3am. Could be a Sunday. Doesn't matter.
After a moment. Not the next time iOS feels like checking. Even with the app closed.
The article opens instantly — cached, formatted, ready. Or jump to the original page.
Home Screen, Lock Screen and Notification Center widgets. Pick what they show and how they look, and you can skip opening the app.
Headlines lists the latest stories, with optional thumbnails. Spotlight gives one story the full widget and rotates through your feeds.
Blue, green, amber, red, purple, pink, teal and gray. You can also match your app theme or pick Random for a new color automatically.
Circular and rectangular Lock Screen widgets show your unread total, when your feeds last updated and how many you follow. They also appear in Notification Center.
Long-press any widget to set it up: display mode, feeds or folders, thumbnails, font size and background.
