One place for your newsletters and feeds:
Big News combines different sources from across the web – like newsletters and RSS feeds – into one unified reading experience. So it doesn't matter what you're reading, or where it's from, you can find it all in Big News.
An email address just for newsletters:
With your very own @bignews.app email address, newsletters skip your regular inbox and instead are sent directly to Big News. That means less stuff mixed in with your daily emails and more great reads for when you want them.
Not just another inbox:
We didn't want to create another list of things in an inbox to be managed. That's why Big News uses dozens of signals to intelligently prioritise the stories that matter to you today, all in one inviting layout. There's no endless pile of unread badges or month-old news. Just the Big News, today.
Sources you already know and trust:
Add your existing newsletters and feeds to Big News in just a few taps. Plus, the Big News directory contains hundreds of channels, so you're sure to find the sites and newsletters you already love – as well as discover something altogether new.
RSS. SMTP. OMG:
We built Big News upon the open standards of the web – like RSS and SMTP – so it already works with thousands of sources today, as well as thousands more in the future.
And now for the legal bits:
Payment will be charged on either a monthly or annual basis to your Apple ID account. Your monthly or annual subscription automatically renews unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period.

Surprise Features?
I like this RSS reader a lot, though it’s a bit buggy. The gesture to zoom in is dodgy, often causing stories to be accidentally swiped away. I also wish you could tap on embedded images to open them, and then use a zoom gesture if needed, similar to the way Reeder does it. Too many stories display tons of blank space above the content as well. Automatic marking of stories as read once they’ve been scrolled past would be an appreciated feature. Maybe some of these things are available in the “Surprise Features” the developers promise as part of the $4.99/mo “Max” subscription, but I’m not willing to sign up just to find out. If anyone out there has paid for that and can disclose the surprises, it would be helpful to know if they’re worth upgrading for.
Shares content as its own, rather than as its publisher’s
Tragically, if you share a story with another app or a person, this app shares it as a “Big News” story, and not as a story produced by its original publisher. This makes it impossible to use with active reading or bookmarking apps like Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop.io or Readwise Reader. That’s a real drag, and a huge knock against other independent app developers.
