gReader today announced the release of a new update after 4 years disappeared in the Play Store. It is not that it was canceled, but that it has not received any update, although it has been able to be used; As long as you did not uninstall it and log in through Feedly, since it was months without such possibility.
In fact it gave way to many, like the one who writes these lines, they had to go to other apps like Innoreader or Feedly; the latter is the truth that offers an experience, without paying, more than efficient and modern. Now it's time to wonder if gReader is still in shape for us to return.
The life of gReader with premium subscription
What a surprise to know that gReader has come back to life after 4 years without updates. And we are facing one of the most complete RSS readers ever. Perfect for customization and packed with utilities to optimize that user experience according to one's needs.
An advantage of gReader, as long as you opt for the paid version, is searching the saved RSS list or categories to determine results more concrete; a feature that in Feedly is under a paid subscription and that we can miss very much if we look for a category, brand or whatever.
And it is that we already have available version 5.0.1 of the great gReader when the previous version was 4.0.3 released in March 2017. There is nothing for a great RSS reader for our mobiles.
For those who do not know gReader, can be summarized in an RSS reader that allows to organize and read news sources from blogs, media, websites, and more. It allows you to associate a free Feedly account to be able to synchronize all the news across different devices, and it also allows you to use Innoreader or Olde Reader.
Another advantage is that has different display modes for articles to view it in list, grid or card type.
The news of gReader: a reader with more than 1 million downloads
This new update brings with it some needed features and improvements to the RSS reader par excellence for an Android mobile. We can cite dark mode for post or article view, better video and podcast playback, and a fair amount of bug fixes.
This is the full list of news:
- New gReader update with many improvements and bug fixes
- Better video playback
- Better podcast playback
- Dark mode for article view
- Bug fixes and improvements
what yes that is missed is the Pro version, the paid version that allowed you to access premium options. Now it has been transformed with a premium subscription that offers those features. To assess, since it has eliminated the Pro version for which it was paid in its day.
Go back to gReader?
For the one who has been using Feedly, it will surely cost more to return to gReader if you do not need some of its advanced options such as the search in the articles synced in the feed.
And, while gReader was the best for many years, due to the non-existent development of news and updates in the design of the app since 2017, it has made many of us migrate to other solutions such as Innoreader or Feedly.
Yes it is true that surely until I renew the design of the app to a more modern oneIt will be difficult for many to return, since Feedly, for example, apart from the design, also has many animations to offer a very generous and modern user experience.
gReader has a free version with advertising, and a premium one under a subscription to remove it, which also offers support for podcasts, voice reading, and personalized notifications; by the way, for € 1,19 per month and an annual payment of € 7,49.
Now you have to decide whether to return or stay where you are while we look forward to receiving another gReader update with an improved design throughout the application; if it arrives ...
