Inoreader:
Automate your newsfeed
Customize the view
Google News has a clean, well-structured layout. The content gets divided by topics, giving you top stories based on your interests. Publishers are not displayed in the main navigation.
Inoreader gives you full control over the content you read. An overview of your trusted sources is always found on your sidebar, showing which feeds were updated since your last visit. When reading articles, you have five layouts to choose from. You can also pick your favorite out of three themes and enjoy many personalization options, including a custom CSS editor!
Кeep track of your reading
The web version of Google News shows you a list of articles. When you click on a title, you get redirected to the publisher's website to read the whole piece. The mobile app has a built-in article view, but neither of them keeps a history of your reading.
Inoreader stores your articles and keeps track of what you've read, so you only see the unread items when you come back, even when you use different devices. You can load articles' full content, highlight important keywords, assign tags, translate, send, and share content without leaving Inoreader.
Advanced search
Google News is part of the Google family. No need to say we wouldn’t doubt its search capabilities. Despite that, we are proud of the advanced searching power Inoreader has to offer.
At Inoreader, we've put much effort into providing an excellent search experience. With our free plan, you can search through all articles in your feeds, while our Pro plan allows you to search through a database of feeds, articles, Facebook pages, and subreddits. You can even search through Google News. Filter results, monitor keywords, and subscribe directly with an URL.
Smart automation
Google News offers algorithm-based automation. You can mute certain publishers or choose to see more or fewer similar stories.
Inoreader gives you many automation possibilities, making it power users’ favorite tool. You can set up entire workflows, such as sending push notifications and emails or marking articles as read when certain criteria are met, creating search queries, and getting them delivered to your newsfeed. You can also filter out or permit articles that match specific conditions set by you.
Save, share, and be social
Google News lets you share content via Facebook and Twitter.
Inoreader provides a wide range of integrations. Social feeds include Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, and YouTube. You can save your content to Pocket, Evernote, OneNote, Instapaper, Dropbox, and Google Drive. We also offer integrations with IFTTT and Zapier for even better workflow optimization. Inoreader also has built-in social features – you can comment, like, and broadcast articles for other Inoreader users to see.
