About An Otter RSS Reader
An Otter RSS Reader is a simple RSS reader for following news, blogs, and personal sites without another account. Subscribe to feeds, organize them into folders, and let iCloud keep everything in sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Otter keeps the experience intentionally calm: quick refreshes, native navigation, readable article views, and just enough personality to make checking your feeds feel pleasant. New in 2.0, the iPad edition grew up. The Front Page opens to today's stories while native adaptive columns keep feeds and the story list side by side when there’s room, then collapse cleanly on smaller screens. Articles set in a real serif with a comfortable reading measure, on iPad and iPhone alike. Features: - Subscribe to RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and XML feeds - Sync subscriptions and reading state with iCloud - The Front Page: a daily opening spread across iPhone and iPad - Smart Folders that fill themselves — long reads, quick reads, podcasts, videos - A serif reading view with adjustable typography - Reading Insights: streaks, reading calendar, and when-you-read patterns - Organize feeds into folders - Import and export subscriptions with OPML - Keyboard shortcuts and menu commands on iPad - Refresh feeds in the background or manually - Shortcuts actions, Home Screen widgets, and alternate app icons Otter Pro, the optional subscription, adds ad-free reading, custom Smart Folders, TL;DR article summaries, and the full Reading Insights dashboard. Otter is not trying to be a social network, inbox, or power-user dashboard. It is a practical little RSS reader for people who still like the open web.

An Otter 2.0 is the iPad release this reader always deserved — and the iPhone got treats too. - The Front Page: open the app to today's stories, not an empty pane - Native adaptive columns on iPad — feeds, stories, and the reader tile together when space allows - Smart Folders arrive in the iPad sidebar, honoring your section order - Reading Insights is now a full dashboard: streaks, reading calendar, and when-you-read patterns - Articles set in a real serif with a comfortable reading measure (iPhone too) - Keyboard shortcuts and menu commands for iPad - A properly layered app icon with real depth - VoiceOver improvements throughout, from folder chevrons to the reading calendar Same otter. Same lightweight RSS reader. Much fresher home.
