Ziner Goes 2.0 With Feedly Integration, Universal Support And iOS 7 Redesign
February 9, 2014
The simple yet functional magazine-like RSS reader app Ziner is back from the dead.
Released for iPad in January last year, Ziner was designed to work with Google Reader. But the app was rendered unusable by the untimely demise of the popular feed aggregation service in July. And while Ziner remained available in the App Store even after then, it didn't receive any sort of update, let alone one that would integrate an alternative feed reader service.
To his credit, developer Jay Zhao aka Creator3D did include the following note in Ziner's App Store description: "Ziner does not work temporarily since Google Reader is gone. I'm working very hard to integrate it with Feedly."
Well, Creator3D's plans to integrate Feedly have come to fruition with the release of Ziner 2.0. Now, you can sign in to Feedly within Ziner to read your feed subscriptions. Note, though, that article tagging is not yet supported by Ziner.
Ziner 2.0 also includes universal support for iPhone and iPod touch. What's more, it comes with a new iOS 7-inspired design.
The newly updated Ziner has the following key features:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 7.0 or later, Ziner 2.0 is available now in the App Store for free.
