The Feedly Mobile for iOS and Android update has been officially proclaimed and is also attainable by Chrome, Firefox as well as Safari users. This upgrade now brings forth improvements to its search and sharing options. The information comes in after Google announced that it would be scrapping the Reader tool as a part of its spring cleaning project, citing decreased levels of usage as a primary reason for the disposal.
The app’s latest edition has been coded using a search algorithm that displays relevant and speedy results. A new engine proffers over 50 million feeds to consumers which are derived from previous interactions on the maker’s community and the program is also powered by a smart topic completion attribute. ‘Must Read’, as is apparent from the name, allows users to give certain feeds higher priority. Posts from these selected few will then pop up at the top of the panel and in the segment labeled ‘Today’. This makes sure that customers do not miss information about things which are pertinent to them.
The Feedly developer claims that over 3 million users have opted to use its software as a substitute for the aforementioned feed-reading tool. It has also incorporated a mechanism so as to enable syncing between the two services. Articles which have been read or saved for later on the utility in question, get marked in Google Reader as well. Even RSS feeds are stored automatically across both applications, if added onto the new version.
Keeping up with recent norms, the maker has thrown in the pull to refresh feature for instant RSS updates. Moreover for an element of organization, only titles will be visible to users whilst they scan through their lists. Support for Google+ has been added and straightforward access to Pocket as well as Buffer has been infused permitting consumers to quickly share posts across various social media. The option of allocating shortcuts to tools makes the process even easier.
As for users of the Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Samsung Galaxy devices, a fresh layout lies in store for them. The company also promises improved YouTube compatibility and bug fixes amongst other enhancements for the Android platform.
The Feedly Mobile update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can be downloaded from iTunes, while it is available in the Play store for Android phones and tablets running versions 2.2 or higher. The upgrade for Firefox, Chrome and Safari is obtainable from the official website.
