A little bonus here is that it will use your Google+ as a sign-in, so you won’t have to remember yet another password. The interface is neat, and it works across platforms. Though we think of RSS feeds as pretty boring, like a dull hammer, Feedly is a nice alternative. We really like the interface, too - simple, clean, and lets us scroll rather than flip.įeedly replaced Google Reader for many of us, and it remains one of the better ways to consume information quickly. It all happens via the slide-out menu from the left, and familiar “back” key up top. The difference is interface, which we find to be snappier and easier to navigate.
