Only one font without support for Cyrillics
Ive increased rating to 4 stars.
I will you give 5 stars later in any case, whether you will fix current inconveniences or not.
Youve added font family selector, thank you very much!
Now here are 3 font problems in Reeder 3:
While it correctly picks light Avenir and San Francisco being in portrait mode, it falls to Bold or Normal font weight in the landscape mode. This is a bug present since previous versions, it was seen in version 2 too. (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad Air with iOS9.1) — BUG
Expected: light font weight in both portrait and landscape modes.
In the Slide-in Multitasking the app also falls to bold/normal font weight.
The other drawback is a lack of font weight selector. Id set it to extra-light or light wherever its possible.
By now, Reeder offers limited font selection and cant choose from all fonts installed on the device. See how its done in Drafts 4 or KyBook, for example.
Its not a dealbreaker though, as Apple added San Francisco font and Reeder has also several fonts including beautiful Avenir (Light) and Iowan, all with Cyrillics support.
Please add a flip-page mode for articles as in Books and KyBook.
…All in all, this is a good and reasonable update to already close to ideal app.
+ Multitasking on iPad Air1 (Slide), Air2 and Pro (full)
+ Limited fonts selector
+ The San Francisco font in Light weight — great!
+ Several UI enhancements such as Archive view
+ An option to launch Safari component in Reader mode
---------
(PARTIALLY FIXED) Please, oh, PLEASE, fix the main weak side of the app — add font family selector to choose from all the fonts installed on the device. I have installed several free typefaces (via FondFont) with light style which are really elegant and good for articles reading. Actually, this apps design is mainly a typography.
(FIXED by Apple) The built-in font family looks as some boring default font when reading a text in national character sets.
It will be good also to see articles main pictures in the news list
and to backup local RSS to iCloud.
All in all, the app looks promising. If it hand’t uncustomizable font, it could be one of the best RSS readers for iPhone. While IMPR is free and has more elegant look, its bugs and crashes make it worse than Reeder 2.
