![]() That I prefer apps like Tweetie and Twitterrific doesn’t mean I think they’re better. TweetDeck, for example, is clearly about showing more at once. Ifferent people seek very different things from a Twitter client. Just as John Gruber so aptly laid out last April when writing on the the UI playground of Twitter clients. In total fairness asking for the “best feed reader app” is like asking for the “best shirt”. This is not to say that most of the legitimate feed reading apps on the iPhone have not been developed with care - but as agents of delivery for my favorite authors, and as contrivances meant for enjoying lengthy bits of text, I prefer a simple app that does less and does it better. The predicament with feed reading apps is most certainly not in the quantity of the selections rather, the quality. In Reeder (or any other feed reader app, such as Byline, Fever, Google Reader, NetNewsWire, NewsRack, MobileRSS, etc.) I read.In Simplenote I read and write and edit.And yet the app which serves no other purpose than to read, seems to be the most frustrating to use for said purpose. Mail, Messages, Safari, Tweetie, Instapaper Pro, Simplenote, and Reeder: these are my most-used apps, and each one is used for reading in some way or another. Half the apps on my iPhone’s Home screen alone involve reading as a predominant, if not exclusive, feature. I spend a prodigious amount of time reading on my iPhone.
