App Update – Manifesto

By
On March 3, 2009

I recently got a Kindle2 and am quite happy with it. It is great for reading books and carrying my reference materials with me. It is not, however, ideal for reading newspapers or RSS feeds. Sure it CAN do those things but I find my iPhone a far better tool for such things. (On the flip side, while I do use eReader for books on the iPhone the Kindle2 is a far better experience and the availability and price of content is a huge improvement.)

As a result, I am always on the lookout for the next great improvement in iPhone RSS readers.

Well, Manifesto a "simple, efficient, and powerful news reader" just got updated.

 

Its features include-
– Aggregate Views: At a glance see all of your new or flagged articles. There is no need to go through feed by feed to see what’s new or important
– Quick Flag: You’ve never flagged your important articles so quick. Just tap on the left margin of an article to flag or unflag it. Its never been quicker.
– Flagged Article Caching: Now that you’ve marked an article as flagged, wouldn’t it be great to have that article’s web page saved for offline viewing? Manifesto, by default, caches an article as soon as you flag it.
– Flip Web: Never leave Manifesto to view the web page for an article. With the touch of a button the article flips over to reveal its web page
– Share: Think an article is great and want your friends to check it out? With 2 taps you can email the link to your friends.
– Bulk Operations: Mark all as read. Mark all as flagged. It doesn’t get any easier.
– Easy Add: Easy and simple to add a new feed
– Auto-discovery: Use a website address, like apple.com, Manifesto automatically detects the location of the sites feed
– Google Reader Import: Have a bunch of feeds in Google Reader? Manifesto will let you import all or just a few of your feeds
– Feed URL: For those hard to find feeds, just enter in the full URL
– Editable feed names
– Supported Feed Formats: All versions of RSS, RDF and Atom.
