For some reason that I absolutely can not figure out, Reeder 5 on my iPad Pro stopped showing the content of articles coming to me via RSS. Everything works fine on my iPhone and my Mac, but the iPad version just shows me the title of an entry and no content at all.
This is not the way I want to consume data.
So, I moved away from Reeder 5 on my iPad Pro and introduced NetNewsWire to the mix.
The only reason I liked Reeder 5 was the Bionic Reading, the special font that is suppose to keep the distracted mind from wandering, but other than that I wasn’t particularly attached to the application.
I like NetNewsWire thus far, especially since it’s an Open Source application. I’ll be swapping out the app on my iPhone and Mac this weekend.
My RSS feeds are aggregated by a self-hosted instance of FreshRSS. Installation, administration, and maintenance is pretty straightforward, and my control freak side really enjoys not relying on a 3rd party service that usually costs money.
