Digg was ready with a Reader-enabled iOS app in time for a rush of Google Reader exiles, but it left Android users looking for alternative newsreaders. That void is now filled with the launch of the company’s Android app. The Android build closely matches its iOS counterpart, with support for Digg’s own news, RSS feed subscriptions and sharing to both read-it-later apps as well as social networks. Just be aware of a few rough patches — this release is missing background updates, some display options and an unread-only filter. If you can live without those features in the short term, though, you can grab the Digg app through Google Play.

It has been a couple of months since Digg launched its RSS reader for iOS. They’ve finally launched it for Android today. The app is now live and available for download. It will display the latest stories from Digg’s homepage as well as Digg Reader. A few features such as “Show Only Unread Items” view, text size, background updating and display mode options are currently missing. Digg says that they’re still testing these features and will add them to the app shortly, it promises steady improvements and updates which will be rolled out over the next few months.
Users can log in to Digg Reader with a Google, Twitter or Facebook account. They can search for and add new feeds which can be organized in folders that can be created, organized and deleted at will. If users want, they can configure diggs to be automatically posted to their Facebook timeline. A story can be shared on a plethora of services such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, WordPress and more. Users can sort Digg Reader items by popularity to see which of them are the most talked-out about on social web. Digg Reader for Android is available as a free download from Google Play Store.

Couple of updates for those who like their Digg on the go. First up is the revamp of the social news aggregator’s iOS app. Using the latest version, you can view stories by unread items only and delete feeds from directly within the app. Scrolling has been improved as well, and the offering now has support for Readability. Digg Reader’s getting a boost as well, with optimization on the mobile site “captur[ing] the look and feel” of the iOS app, according to Digg. There’s also full support for sites like YouTube and SoundCloud via HTML5. More info can be excavated in the source link below.

When Google Reader announced it was shutting down a few months ago, most of us stamped our feet, panicked, and went running into the arms of another RSS reader. But Matt Jibson is different. Unlike most of us, he can crunch code. So he built a Google Reader of his very own own.

Just in time! On the weekend before Google Reader is set to mercilessly kill itself off, Digg Reader has opened its arms to everyone. After being in beta

As we stand on the precipice of the shutdown of Google Reader the search for replacement RSS clients is more frantic than ever, and now Digg has opened access to its app for any users interested. Currently available on the web and as an iOS app (Android coming soon), importing ones Google account is just a few mouse clicks away. The experience as it exists now is pretty barebones, and Digg says it plans to add a “View unread items only” option, “Mark as unread” button and the always crucial “accurate” unread counts for feeds and folders in the near future. Hit the source link below to give it a shot, and then let us know if it’s a contender for the throne.
