Silvio Rizzi's hit OS X RSS reader application
Reeder 2 is coming ever so closer to becoming obsolete as the developer works on bringing
Reeder 3 to the hands of the public.
A public beta of Reeder 3 is now available to download for free from the developer's Web site, allowing the public to download and try the Reeder 3 application before it hits the Mac App Store. The application is designed specifically for OS X 10.10 Yosemite and later, and will play nicely with OS X 10.11 El Capitan later this year when the operating system is released in the Fall by Apple.
Reeder 3, like its predecessor, supports the all of the following RSS services:
- Feedbin
- Feedly
- Feed Wrangler
- FeedHQ,
- NewsBlur
- The Old Reader
- Inoreader
- Minimal Reader
- BazQux Reader
- Fever
- Readability
- Instapaper
The Reeder 2 application from the Mac App Store is a $9.99 purchase, and when released, Reeder 3 will follow its footsteps. Those that already own Reeder 2 will be able to download Reeder 3 completely free of charge, as it will be a free upgrade for existing customers.
A full change log of the Reeder 3 public beta can be found below:
