## Bulletin Description
Bulletin is a modern RSS news reader with summaries built in, so you can get through everything you follow in less time.
You choose every source, and no algorithm decides what surfaces.
Use the summary to decide what to read, then open the article in a distraction-free reader with no ads.

SMART SUMMARY, POWERED BY REAL ARTICLE CONTENT

Bulletin extracts the article before building its summary, rather than relying on the short text in an RSS feed. The result reflects what the article actually says, so you're not judging a story by its headline.

• Read a concise summary in bullet points or one sentence
• Switch to Quotes mode to read the article's key quotes, word for word
• Improve unclear or clickbait headlines with a clearer, more accurate one
• Summarise a whole feed or category, with each point citing the publication behind it. Tap to open the story
• Copy, select, or share summaries

Bulletin uses AI to summarise article content.

YOU PICK EVERY SOURCE

Start reading straight away with useful starter categories, then make Bulletin yours. Add the publications, independent writers, blogs, and specialist sites you trust. Nothing is inserted because an algorithm thinks it should be there.

• Add an RSS feed from any supported site or feed URL
• Import an existing collection with OPML, or export it when you need to
• Create, rename, hide, and organise categories around the way you follow news
• Enable, disable, or rename individual sources at any time
• Mute phrases you do not want to see in your feeds

A FOR YOU FEED, ON YOUR TERMS

For You brings your chosen categories together in one personalised feed. Nothing is ranked or promoted: it is all from sources you added.

Sort a combined feed purely by time and the sites that post twenty times a day bury the ones that post twice a week. Weaved mode keeps For You close to newest first, but never lets one source run more than twice before another gets a turn. Busy sites still appear as often, just spread out, so everything you follow gets seen.

• Weaved mode, so no single source takes over the feed
• Switch to chronological ordering whenever you prefer
• Choose which categories appear together in For You

READ THE WAY YOU WANT

A summary is a starting point. When an article deserves your attention, open it in a clean reading view that keeps the text and images while removing page ads and newsletter prompts. You can also switch to the original page at any time.

• Choose a serif or sans-serif reading font and adjust text size
• Use light, dark, or extra-dark reading styles
• Change article card size to make feeds compact or visual
• Sort feeds, show or hide unread counts, and mark articles as read in batches

SAVE IT FOR LATER

Save an article to Read Later with one action, then return when the time is right. Your sources, reading history, preferences, and Read Later list stay in sync with iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

TRANSLATE AS YOU READ

When a source is written in another language, translate its headlines, full articles and summaries entirely on your device.

WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS

• See recent headlines in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Open Bulletin actions from Control Center or Siri
• Follow the latest headlines in a Live Activity

CLEAR ABOUT YOUR DATA

Bulletin removes tracking parameters from article URLs. Anonymous usage analytics can be turned off, and article content is not collected for analytics. Your source list remains yours.

Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime options are available, with pricing shown before purchase.

## Bulletin Reviews in United States

### **--- "Appealing concept, partially realized"
Love the idea of summarized articles but this is missing a few important beats that I hope they improve on. 

1) no way to indicate like / dislike articles in For You to help fine tune the list ongoing

2) no way to feedback on length, completeness of summaries. Many are too brief and miss key points relevant for a summary, making reading the full article much more necessary and defeating the app’s purpose.
-- CC App Fan, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Fantastic app for news and/or RSS"
Ability to customize is great; feed level and article level summaries are well done and quick.
-- Sventi Mezzo, 2024-12-21

### *---- "Just freezes"
Now the app just freezes on start up. When I disable all network connectivity, it freezes again even after a cache reset.
-- Holo_wolf, 2024-12-06

### ***-- "Need better filtering"
The stories are not curated at all. You’d have to do a lot of work to make it yours.
-- Dexter Lively Morgan, 2024-10-20

### **--- "Takes over .ics files"
It automatically becomes the default handler for .ics files so Calendar events don’t open in the correct app.
-- Edward R., 2024-10-17

### *---- "Ugly app"
I’m not a big fan of how the feeds are displayed in the boxed squares. It seems like the developers could use some modern design skills to improve the app’s appearance.
-- USA36, 2024-10-16

### ***-- "TV app is not working.."
The app works great on iPhone, but the TV app is in a perpetual state of loading… 

Please fix!

Thank you
-- shortschwartz, 2024-10-13

### *---- "Poor UI on iPad"
Update:

I tried the free trial period and have determined that the AI summaries are very poor. They don’t summarize the main point of the article. It merely summarizes the beginning of articles which often do not get to the main point of the article in the first few paragraphs. 

The iPad still has the same horrendous UI with no customization in the app. 

——

I continually do not understand why RSS apps don’t use the full iPad screen in portrait orientation for reading articles. It should at least be an option to hide the sidebar. This issue alone makes it a hard pass from me. 

This app looks good at first, but after just a few minutes you realize how restrictive it is. It doesn’t allow you to hide categories and you can’t customize feeds beyond hiding them. It also doesn’t allow adding any feeds either as far as I can tell. 

And a personal nitpick of mine: I much prefer opening articles in Safari Reader view by default. It's a better UX in my opinion and provides consistency across the OS. It should at least be offered as option as some other apps do.
-- Sofa King Cynical, 2024-10-02

### ***** "Great apps"
Love the interface. The next toggle is really noice. A lot of sources. The AI summary is a cool feature. Great job!!
-- KevLee123, 2024-09-12

### ***-- "Clear potential…but still has a long way to go."
I love the idea behind this app. The care and attention to the UX is clear. Appreciate push notifications, iCloud syncing, and the full Apple ecosystem support.

If you want a basic “already configured”news/RSS app, Bulletin fits the bill. Which leads to what’s missing…

It’s missing some critical things for long-time RSS users though:

* Yes, you can import in your own OPML feeds, but organizing them and essentially wiping the slate clean to just bring my familiar feeds in my own organization style…that’s a daunting process. So much so, that I gave up for now.

* It doesn’t appear to offer options to use Postlight or Readability to parse/extract articles from feeds that only provide headlines, but admittedly I only tested a couple of feeds with this.

* Customizing notifications in a more granular way by feed, number of topics, or keywords would be a lovely addition.

* Hierarchical sorting beyond a single category.

* Customizing the sidebar area.

This is an opinionated app…I love that about it. It’s just not quite my aesthetic. Longtime users of Reeder or News Explorer  are going to enjoy the UX, long for the AI summarization features that come natively here, but struggle to embrace a paradigm that wants you to do things the Bulletin way instead of the way you’ve become accustomed to in other RSS apps. That’s not a bad thing, but I do long for significantly more customization features in feed organization, hierarchy, parsing, update times, and a “just start from a clean slate and import my stuff and don’t add anything to it” option. I’d happily spend money on this app if it evolves in that direction. For now…I will envy some of the summarization features but go back to my trusted long-time RSS apps.
