Android: RestFEED

Simple Android feed reader I made for my personal use and without features I do not need. Just a simple feed reader with images.

Why?

I was not satisfied with other feed reading apps because all fancy features made them useless and slow.

This app is as fast as the each news server is because:

-It uses no fancy (=slow) libraries (Pure native)
-Powered by Google API it gets all data from original source server in one call

It has 3 news display modes:

[1] Thumbnail+Headline+Excerpt, [2] Large Thumbnail+Headline, [3] Headline+Excerpt (Expanded on click)

Rotating the phone opens a different layout

Clicking on each one of them instantaneously opens full news (if delivered with the feed, same goes for images)

From there one can go to the original source or call share intent (and send as EMail/Tweet/Google+/FB…)

Special features

The feature I missed the most in feed readers was to exclude certain news. For example, I can not care less about Apple products, i* toys, so I have a filter to automatically eliminate all news where “iphone, apple, ipad, ipod” are mentioned. Too bad I can not eliminate word “Jobs” because I do want to read about jobs. Now when I wake up, I can enjoy my news iFree.

RestFeed is available for free on Android Market. Download here or search for it on your device
