"An Otter RSS Reader" is the world's newest most okayest RSS reader with a high key adorable otter icon! "This is exactly what I've been looking for! A simple RSS reader that syncs my subscribed feeds across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This developer is genius! I think he nailed it with this app" - Josh Holtz FEATURES + Subscribe to RSS Feeds that sync over iCloud Fetches RSS feeds and refreshes in a background task or on a pull-to-refresh. + Auto Discover Feeds Simply enter the domain of website (like anotterrss.com) and Otter will attempt to discover all RSS feed urls to choose from. + Group Feeds Into Folders You know... because organization is important. + Read Articles In A Normal Web View This isn't anything special. This is why its the okayest and minimalist. Just read the article like how it was supposed to be read. Is it even a reader? It might just be a syncer. + Shortcuts Have fun automating with Shortcut actions for listing feeds, listing articles, and subscribing to new feeds. + Widgets Add some gorgeous widgets to your Home Screen to show unread count for either all feeds or a specific folder of feeds. + Import/Export with OPML Import your feeds with an OPML file (if you have one from your existing RSS reader). Export your feeds into an OPML file if you hate "An Otter RSS" and want to move to another app. We'll understand. There are plenty of other apps out there and this one might not be the one for you!
good
free and defind by self, nice!
Works Great, syncs on all iOS Devices
Love this app. Use it on Macbook, Mac Mini, iPad and iPhone. Lists stay synced and I'm super happy with it. Thank you!
Good App, but Naggy
This is actually a good app, but any app that nags for a review automatically gets a 1-star from me.
Not bad for an early release (updated)
Original review below is over 2 years old and it's been over a year since an update. An abandoned app can't be anything more than 1 star. Already after one update many of the request I and others have been added as well as comlaints being addressed. Updating to 5 stars. Check app update history for what's been addressed. The reader mode is nicest I've seen so far. You can create folders and move your feeds into them, you can import opml from other apps which maintains folder hierarchy if that app supports folders. What it needs. Mark articles read on scrolling past them Option to hide read articles by default instead of manually hiding all the time. When clicking on a top level folder it expands the folder clicking the arrow should expand the folder. There is no way to view all stories in a top folder. For example I have a tech folder and have to go to every single sub folder and read the stories I should be able to just click the tech folder and see the stories in that folder. Needs swipe gestures example swipe right mark read/unread swipe left add to favorite. When viewing stories there is about a quarter inch of empty space on the left and right making appear almost window boxed. The story headlines should go the width of the screen to see more words in the title. Need to add an option to sort by oldest and newest first. If in reader mode hitting the safari button should open in the in app browser instead of leaving the app. If we want to leave the app from that screen the safari button should open in your default browser. Under notifications there should be an option to show badge count with unread articles. Should be an option to see favicons to the left of the headline to quickly see at a glance which site posted the story as well as an option to enable images if there is one in the story. Either a small image to the right of the headline or a large image below the headline. All in all it's a really good start it's just not ready to be my main RSS app for now I'm sticking with Reeder and NetNewsWire. I am going to keep Otter installed and look forward to future updates.
OK. Now what?
No guide, insructions, in app. Website menu bar nonfunctional. Looks like it might be interesting. but unless I know how to use it, so what?!
Doesn’t work
It seemed great importing my opml file and making its first pass when I bought it. That was the only time it worked. Nothing refreshes, nothing updates since. After a week I give up.
