Notice: Major Update Coming Soon

It’s been a long time from last update. Finally, we complete major update for RssBook. This includes following features: Support for iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, iOS 8 and ‘Background Sync’. It will be a great present for enthusiastic RssBook users.

But there are some thing to note:
1) From this version we decide to impose a limitation on free version. In free version, sync will be limited to max 10 feeds at a time.
2) No more support for iOS 6. To keep up our development, we decided to support only iOS 7 or later. iOS 6 user still can use the version 1.7.1 at App Store.

New version may be available about 5~15 days.

Notice: Feedly Coming~

This may be the most anticipated news.

Feedly is the next sync service provider for RssBook after Google Reader retirement. Feedly is well-known as the best replacement candidate for Google Reader API service. Their service is reliable and powerful, even comparable to Google Reader API. They opened API service to public about a month ago. And today we has finally complete integration works with Feedly service and summitted new version(1.6.0) to Apple App Store. Just wait about a week~
