Users of other RSS services like Feedly or Feedbin can log into their existing accounts from NetNewsWire, handy if you’ve already cultivated a personal list of feeds elsewhere.

You can manually Delete these with a swipe, but we’d recommend starting fresh with an account that can sync to your other devices. Hit the settings icon in the lower left and Add Account. The app subscribes you to a handful of feeds to get started, which you’ll see under the On My iPhone heading. Tapping an article loads it in the app’s reader view, which is a nice, clean way to read articles distraction-free. Unread lets you catch up on news more than a day old, while Starred houses your favorites. The Today smart feed shows you a list of all unread articles from your chosen sources published in the past 24 hours.

Install and open NetNewsWire and you’ll be greeted with a straightforward home page. The iOS version is simple, fast, and – remarkably – completely free. There are plenty to choose from, but our favorite solution is the app NetNewsWire, which has also been around on various platforms for more than 20 years.
