The Feed for iPad

My friends and family know that I am a news junkie.  I have over two hundred RSS feeds in Google Reader. I’ve tried quite a few iPad and iPhone RSS readers.  While there are quite a few RSS functional readers for the iPad, most have poor user-interfaces and or lack important features.  Some, like Pulse, have a beautiful user interface but are not quite useful for people — like myself — with large feed list.

The Feed is a FREE RSS reader front end to Google Reader that is both functional, feature rich and has a well designed user interface.  Setup is easy — provide your Gmail account information — but it has sharing functions for Twitter, Facebook, Google Reader, and Email.  I’ve been using it for a few days and despite a few minor bugs  I think I may keep it on my iPad for a while.  It still needs a few features – Read it Later or Instapaper support – before it can displace Reeder on my iPhone and iPad.  Why should you try it then?  Did I mention it was free?  Reeder is $4.99 in the App Store while my previous RSS reader, NetNewWire, is $9.99 in the App Store.
