Headlines App Reviews

Ive been looking for a good RSS Reader for a while and this app does the job with a simple newspaper-like interface. I would like to see some extra features such as an ability to save articles for later, and maybe some gesture controls. But overall, its a good app and worth a dollar.

Im updating the links to my own and its a breeze. For some who seem confused simply type into a search engine what RSS feed you are looking for and you will find it. Type in CNN RSS or ESPN RSS or whatever source you are looking for and you will generally find the main link and any subsets from there. Copy, paste, done!

The minimalist layout is ideal for those accustomed to reading newspaper layouts. Allows for quick browsing of all information. However, as nearly all other reviewers have noted this app has lacks obvious features. For one, the ability to markup information already read. For another, the ability to archive information. Finally, the ability to adjust the display parameters such as font-family, font-size, columns, and general layout. A suggested feature would be to group feeds by different sections which display in tabbed pages, akin to the different sections of newspapers.

It gets the job done. My biggest complaint is for some reason when I go to a site some of the links I click on wont work. But if I go to the same site using Safari or Firefox they work fine.

This is probably the best RSS reader Ive seen for Mac. I really like the look of newspapers. And I really like the fact that the links dont open up in my default browser. However, I would like the ability to rename my feeds. I have a couple feeds from a local paper that just show up as "Search Results" which makes it difficult to tell which one is which. 4/5 Travis

Downloaded this app today and so far so good. Id give it 5 stars if there were some way to bookmark the links I like, other than opening them in safari and bookmarking.

Would have been better if it would "search" for the RSS address given a generic URL. Most of us dont know the exact RSS addresses.

Didnt find it useful. Could never get the app to import RSS feeds from mail. When I tried, it imported one out of 18 feeds. Couldnt find a way to change that, with the very limited set of options that I found. It wasnt worth trying any harder to figure it out. Dumped it. Waste of money....

After the update everything reset to unread and now I cant seem to clear the articles. When reopened ALL the articles come back

THis is a fantastic app for quickly skimming through RSS feeds. It is also completely usable with the Voiceover screen-reader. If I had to choose something that it lacks, Id say an audible notification for updated feeds; or growl integration, so the user can be notified of updates. Also, it is unclear how to increase the number of headlines to be displayed per feed? Yet, I still rate this 5 stars, and thank the developer for the accessibility considerations.

I really like the layout and design of this app. Works great! I use it daily. I would like the ability to open links in the background. Other than that, its great!
