Aslam – I've been trying to get in touch with the folks at Reeder, and they haven't got back in touch with me. I really wish I could test it out to tell you, I'll keep trying.

Also: Feedler was one of the iPad Apps I tried before Pulse and MobileRSS, but at the time it didn't offer offline access. Now that it does I'll definitely download it and once (if I ever) hear back from Reeder I'll do a follow-up post with Reeder and Feedler included – until then, honestly, I've been using MobileRSS and loving it. If you're not too concerned about your GReader clients being “pretty”, I can't recommend it enough, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

FYI, I just discovered another GReader client for iPad that provides Offline access which you should add to your review: Feedler RSS. The just released 1.5 version adds offline access. They have a free Lite version and a paid ($4.99) Pro version that adds some features. So maybe you can add this to your showdown of the GReader iPad Clients.

Hey there… any update on this? Is a comparison of MobileRSS and Reeder for iPad imminent or should I just bite the bullet and buy one of them?

I would also really like to see a review of Reeder vs. MobileRSS. Can you do that next?

To be honest, I didn't try Reeder – however just recently read up about it on the App Store – if it has all the features that MobileRSS has I'm absolutly willing to test it out – thanks for the suggestion!

I use Reeder for iPad. It sounds a lot like MobileRSS, having full article with picture caching (I'm also a wifi only iPad user), full google reader integration and flick-scroll between articles, also flick-scroll horizontally to mark read/unread (which I *need* in a mobile reader). I've tried quite a few (including pulse and mobilerss) and settled on reeder because it works best for me.

Cheers,

I can't remember the names of all the many news readers I have tried. Good thing they are not too expensive, since I've wasted quite a bit of money. I keep coming back to Mobile RSS.

Some of the others look real nice - like real newspapers or newsstands, etc., but MobileRSS just gets the job done. Every feature I have wanted in a newsreader has been added over the last year. I've used it on my iPod Touch, iPhone, and now constantly on my iPad. The in-App browser is excellent and it's nice to be able to send an email from within the App (pretty common now in a newsreader).

On the iPad, I like Mobile RSS best in landscape mode. The browser side is still plenty large enough to read. I don't scroll through the articles, so need to see the headline list, since there are always lots of items I wish to skip. I doubt I'll ever find an RSS reader that I'll like any better. It sure works for me!
