Inoreader:
A powerful newsreader
Kick-start your RSS journey
Newsblur is an open-source newsreader with a decent amount of useful features. However, understanding its interface and functionality takes a lot of work to start using it effectively. Its design follows no user-friendly patterns, making it hard to navigate and take advantage of its full potential. The service offers no onboarding experience to walk you through its navigation.
Inoreader is full of amazing features. We realize that new users may need help learning our tool's possibilities. That's why we took great care to craft our walkthrough experience. Additionally, every new feature is presented to your attention with tips on how to grasp its full potential.
Featured collections
To follow a source in Newsblur, you must type its exact URL. You immediately subscribe to it without previewing it first. There are no suggestions for topics or popular feeds to browse.
Inoreader offers a rich catalog of high-quality content. We update it regularly to ensure you get access to the most trusted sources. Explore popular topics, discover feeds, and see article previews. Check out how many people are subscribed to a source and how often it posts new articles. If you're interested, you can also choose to get feed suggestions.
Advanced search
Newsblur offers no search functionality for free users. If you are a paid user, you can search through your subscriptions.
Inoreader offers advanced search functionalities. Our Free plan lets you search for feeds and articles within your subscriptions. Upgrade to our Pro tier to gain access to an extensive database of feeds, articles, Facebook pages, and Google News. Additionally, you can follow search queries and customize them as regular subscriptions.
Smart automation
With Newsblur, you can hide stories you don't like and highlight the ones you do, letting the platform learn your preferences.
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
With Newsblur, you can email a story, save or comment on it.
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.
