Hasta La Gadget!

When Silvio Rizzi pulled down the Reeder app for iPad after Google Reader’s death, he swore to develop and eventually release a new version. Now, Rizzi has made good on that promise by launching Reeder 2 — a reworking of the older RSS reader that’s compatible with both iPhones and iPads. The app sports a brand-spankin’ new interface that replaces the old browns and sepias with gray, pulls feeds from several sources — including Feedly and Feedbin — and it can now also open links on Google Chrome. Reeder 2’s now available on the App Store, but if you feel iffy shelling out $4.99 for it, you can give the RSS client a whirl by getting the older iPhone version for the low, low price of free.

Silvio Rizzi made the iPad and Mac versions of Reeder free to use in the wake of Google’s plans to shut down Google Reader, but he left the iPhone app at its usual $3 price — and its fate in the air. Existing users can now rest easy, as Rizzi has pledged ongoing support for the smaller screen. The current edition of Reeder for iPhone is now free to use, and an already-submitted 3.2 update will bring support for alternative news services like Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler and Fever. Anyone using the iPad and Mac editions will have to be patient, however. Both apps will eventually get the additional news sources, but Rizzi is taking down the existing releases on July 1st to minimize confusion while he works on updates.
