“On the iPhone I use an app called Unread. … If you ever use the Clear app for your to-dos or shopping lists where it’s very opinionated, very limited, and very gesture-based, it’s kind of like that for RSS readers. And I like that a lot on the phone. I have a lot of muscle memory there, and I enjoy the design of it quite a bit.”
— Marco Arment, Accidental Tech Podcast

“Unread carries a strong history as one of the top RSS clients on iOS, and version 2 ensures that will remain true for a long while yet.”
– Ryan Christoffel, MacStories

“Unread is focused on eliminating chrome — it is a pure reading app. It’s like reader mode all the time, and the assortment of color themes is nicely curated.”
– John Gruber, Daring Fireball

Unread has full VoiceOver coverage. Every screen and every feature is available to users with vision impairments:

• From any screen you can perform a magic tap, a two-finger double tap, to open a menu of options available for that screen.
• When on an article list, there are actions available for each article in the list. After selecting an article, invoke the accessibility rotor and then select “Actions”. There is an action to mark the article read or unread, an action to share the article, and many others.
• Use the VoiceOver escape gesture, a two-finger “Z”, to back out of the current screen.

Reviews

A beautifully designed app that works flawlessly.

Unread is one of the best news/rss apps out there. Stylish. Well designed. Efficient. An equally excellent app for Mac currently in beta too. The designer of the app is very responsive to feedback. It’s great.

Fabulous reader app

This is the best reader app I have found for the iPhone. Please make it available on the Mac!

RSS Feed reading made easy

I’ve been Unread for a while now and it is well worth the subscription. The interface can take a bit of getting used to - left and right swipes will reveal all you need depending on where you are in the app. If there was one request it would be to be able to mute articles/mark them as already read based on keyword strings in the individual item titles. I’m not a fan of endless reports on the Soccer World Cup or the Super Bowl.

Really nice reader

I'd been looking for something like this for a while. It's beautiful, and almost perfect. But *please* let reverse the sort order, so that I can read the articles in chronological order! Current, when you get to bottom of an article and drag up, it takes you to the *preceding* one, not the next one! (Hence only 4 stars). But apart from that, perfect.

Perfect — Great reading experience with comfortable gestures

From typography to layout to gestures to offline syncing with fetching of webpage text, this app makes reading a joy. It’s been a constant on my Home Screen for years.

This is The One

I've used a fair few RSS readers in my time and each one always seemed to be lacking something, and then I tried Unread; I haven't looked at another reader since and I never will, I promise. But please, please allow me to reverse the sort order to have the older article at the top of the list!

Absolutely the best RSS reader

I have been using this app for years now and gestures make it so easy to read through articles at speed. Version 2 has swapped to the subscription model but well worth the £20 per year.

Font customization

I highly recommend adding font customization. Adding Chinese localization as well.

Great update

I am really liking the update. Keyboard control is fantastic. One thing I miss from the old version though is the double tap to mark an item as read. It would also be nice to be able to use the left and right arrow keys to perform what command + W and Enter do at the moment.

Great update!

This is a great update, which while similar looking brings some very useful new functionality. Well worth the modest subscription fee. Good software is worth paying for!
