Best RSS Feed Readers for Windows 8
There are a large number of applications that keep us informed about the latest news that happen every day, related to politics, the economy , technology and many other topics. But there is nothing as comfortable as an RSS feed reader, to follow them from anywhere, whether from mobile devices or computers.
Although there are people who say that since the use of Twitter has become widespread, RSS readers are not used as much, the truth is that the 140-character social network does not offer the versatility and organization with that RSS feeds count.We review the best RSS feed readers for Windows 8
Nextgen Reader
Nextgen Reader is, if not the most popular, then one of the most popular RSS readers that are available for both Windows 8 and Windows Phone. This is mainly due to its careful appearance designed to combine comfort and practicality If you are one of those who uses an RSS reader on a daily basis, it is undoubtedly worth it pay the €2.49 it costs.
The main screen is divided into three clearly differentiated columns. On the left we have the menu, in the center the headlines of the news and on the right the news that we are reading. Its main features include the functions of mark favorites, that of share the news, and that of mark as read based on different parameters, such as a certain date or source.
Dark RSS Reader
Dark RSS Reader is a fast and easy to use free RSS reader for Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Its interface is quite comfortable and shows us the news in the form of a mosaic in a horizontal list. Features animated notification icons so we know when new news is available.
This application has several very attractive features such as allowing us to filter or highlight the news using cable words, allowing us to configure the intervals for updates, and to be able to mark the news to read them at another time. Dark RSS Reader, in addition to RSS format feeds, also supports them in RDF and ATOM format.
Kara Reader
Kara Reader is a stylish RSS feed reader that integrates seamlessly with the Modern UIIts operation is very intuitive and any user familiar with Feedly will have no problem using it, since we simply have to add the data of our Feedly account
Its interface is very similar to that of Nextgen Reader but it has a good number of options that will allow us to configure the application at our whim. If we want to add new feeds to the application, we must do so through our Feedly account. Kara Reader, which is my favorite Windows 8 RSS reader, costs €1.69.
News Bento
For my taste, News Bento is one of the most attractive RSS readers that exist for Windows 8. Its aesthetic is very similar to the one on the Windows 8 Start screen, with animated icons that we can resize to our liking.
Smoothly matches Modern UI features and is designed to be comfortable to use by touch, mouse or keyboardThe view in magazine mode is very practical since it adapts the text and images to the size of the screen. Although it comes with a list of default feeds, we can add those that are of interest to us.
Since the improvements introduced with the Windows 8.1 Update, more and more quality apps are appearing in the Windows 8 StoreIt is important that they take advantage of all the advantages and functions that the operating system offers us but, in addition, they have to be practical and comfortable to use from devices with a touch screen. Which Modern UI apps are you missing?
