Reeder for iPhone skirts death, updated with Feedbin and standalone RSS support

Popular app Reeder for iPhone has been updated with Feedbin and standalone RSS feed support, before Google Reader closes down for good on 1 July. Reeder once relied on Google Reader to populate itself with feeds but it, like many apps, has found other solutions to keep on living. Feedbin is one of the solutions RSS users have been drawn to since Google dropped the awful news. It offers a slick user interface for managing and viewing feeds for $ 2 a month. Like logging in to Google Reader on the Reeder app, you simply need your Feedbin user name and password to get going. The standalone RSS feature of Reeder is a little different. You can either copy and paste feeds in manually, or until 1 July, use your Google Reader log-in to import them.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review
