Reeder 3: The Best RSS Reader for iOS

Reeder 3 for iPad is a great RSS app which allows you to synchronise your RSS feeds from different web apps such as Feedly and Inoreader, as well as a local sync.


Reeder 3 allows you to check your feeds from different services such as Feedly, Feedbin, Inoreader and many others. You can also use local sync if you do not have a web account. It also connects with Instapaper and Readability, which allows you to save articles for later.

Reeder checks your feeds when you go on the app, and then caches them. This allows you to read your feeds offline. You can mark as a article as favorite, and then tap on the star at the bottom to see all the articles marked as favorite; allowing you to quickly save articles you like.

The main reason I got Reeder is the ability to save articles to Evernote. I use Feedly, and you have to pay for a premium account to get the ability to save articles to services. I decided to invest in Reeder which would allow me to save my articles to Evernote. Reeder 3 costs £3.99, which is certainly worth it. When the app downloads and you open it, you can sign into your account(s), and then the app automatically fetches the feeds. You can also choose to only use local RSS feeds.

To share an article, simple tap on the sharing icon in the bottom right of article view; then tap on the service you want to share it to. You have to log in the first time you use that service, but you only need to do it once. When you share an article, a small box shows at the top of article view with the service you shared it to. This is a confirmation that you saved the article to that service. I also like the way that it does not obstruct the article, and it is very unobtrusive. I like to switch off the services I don’t use, as I find this cleans the sharing menu up a bit. You can do this by tapping on the cog at the top left of the accounts page. Saved articles come out great, looking like they did in the app.

Reeder is a great app, and I recommend that you try it out. The £3.99 is worth it, and you will be glad you did.

Panel Tabs: Put Your Chrome Tabs into Floating Panels

Panel Tabs is a great free Chrome extension which allows you to place your tabs into a separate floating panel.

Panel Tabs is simple and easy to use; simple click on the Panel Tabs icon when you are on the tab you want to float, and then click ‘Pop this tab into a panel’.

The tab you had open will go into a floating window. You can minimize the tab, close it and put it back into a new tab on Chrome.

To put it back into Chrome, simply click on the Panel Tabs extension and then click ‘Put back’. The tab you had in a floating windows will go back into Chrome.

You can have more then 1 tab in a floating panel (all the tabs go into a separate floating panel), but I have not tested the limits of the amount of tabs you are allowed.

Panel Tabs is great when you want to take notes on a Youtube video, or when your are referring to an article. It’s also great if you want your social media in a separate window.

Snapentry: Quickly Make Notes in Evernote

Snapentry is an app for iOS which allows you to make notes in Evernote with two – or even one tap.

Snapentry is an app which costs £2.99 in the Appstore.

Snapentry allows you to quickly enter your thoughts into Evernote, without having to wait for the Evernote app to load. This means that you will not forget your ideas, or you may want to get them down quickly.

Snapentry has many features, such as allowing you to insert pictures and allowing you to queue notes when your offline. You can see all the features on the app’s Appstore page.

One of my favorite features of the app is the option to allow ‘Auto send’. What happens here is that when the home button is pressed, the app automatically sends the note. This means that you don’t have to press the send button, and takes away a tap and makes the process of using the app slicker.

All in all, Snapentry is a pretty cool app, and if your sick of waiting for Evernote to load up, I suggest you look into it.

If you don’t want to dish out £2.99, you can always try Do Note by IFTTT. If you decide to get Do Note, use this recipe to get your notes into Evernote. However, Do Notes does not have the advanced features that Snapentry has. You can only enter plain text notes with Snapentry, and they cannot be tagged or moved to a different notebook in app.
