RssDemon News & Podcast Reader 4.0.0
Intuitive but unappealing interface
There's one thing for sure about the app's UI, it's well-structured and truly easy-to-use, but a bit unappealing with plenty of space left empty on the screen. Still, there are plenty of settings that you do to the interface, like change the theme to a darker one or the display language.
The app can be set to display your favorite feeds in the font size that you want or sort them by a selected order. You can even change the dimension of images or thumbnails, together with line spacing. Feeds can also be grouped to make it easier for you to find them.
Manage feed
sources
Once you've arranged the display and made it easy for you to navigate through feeds, you should manage the sources. You've got the option of adding or excluding websites from the list. You can also change the encoding, exclude the website from the list of sources from which content is automatically downloaded or set a user name and password.
One of the great things about this app is that you can set it to automatically download feeds at a certain hour of the day and only if WiFi connection is available. All articles, videos, podcasts are available offline, so you can get your news regardless of where you are.
Set notifications and automatically delete content that you've already read
Notifications can be set for automatic and manual updates and you can also select a ringtone for when content is available. The app can also automatically delete or exclude articles that you've already read, in order to not take up too much phone memory.
Storage limits can also be set, while RssDemon can auto clean your memory every a few days. Articles or videos can also be backed up to your SD card if you wish. The app also comes with the option of sharing interesting articles on social networks.
