"An Otter RSS Reader" is the world's newest most okayest RSS reader with a high key adorable otter icon!
"This is exactly what I've been looking for! A simple RSS reader that syncs my subscribed feeds across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This developer is genius! I think he nailed it with this app"
- Josh Holtz
FEATURES
+ Subscribe to RSS Feeds that sync over iCloud
Fetches RSS feeds and refreshes in a background task or on a pull-to-refresh.
+ Auto Discover Feeds
Simply enter the domain of website (like anotterrss.com) and Otter will attempt to discover all RSS feed urls to choose from.
+ Group Feeds Into Folders
You know... because organization is important.
+ Read Articles In A Normal Web View
This isn't anything special. This is why its the okayest and minimalist. Just read the article like how it was supposed to be read. Is it even a reader? It might just be a syncer.
+ Shortcuts
Have fun automating with Shortcut actions for listing feeds, listing articles, and subscribing to new feeds.
+ Widgets
Add some gorgeous widgets to your Home Screen to show unread count for either all feeds or a specific folder of feeds.
+ Import/Export with OPML
Import your feeds with an OPML file (if you have one from your existing RSS reader). Export your feeds into an OPML file if you hate "An Otter RSS" and want to move to another app. We'll understand. There are plenty of other apps out there and this one might not be the one for you!

Broken by iOS 16
It worked perfectly for me until I upgraded to iOS 16. Now the list of stories has blank slots in it. You can tap those blank spots and get to the articles that are supposed to be listed but obviously this is not ideal.
I don’t know if it’s the fault of Apple or if Jason is using some funky custom list control that was marginal and just broke. I really appreciate the work Jason has put into the app.

Works well on Big Sur
I have been using Otter RSS on my Iphone and Ipad for a little while. Just installed on my desktop through the Appstore and all of my articles were synced perfectly from where I had left off. Same great interface and smooth operation. Excellent software!

Properly functional RSS
This app modernizes the RSS experience while respecting the minimal philosophy of RSS enthusiasts. I am very pleased with the app and its widgets.

Easy to use, but very simple!
Easy to use, including importing an existing feed! It is great that it supports adding new feeds right in app, unlike others that require a service like Feedly to intermediate.
The interface is simple and very clean. The animations are smooth!
Only disappointing element is each article just opens a web wrapper. Therefore, unlike other RSS readers that give you a unified reading experience across publications, this merely links you to the site of the publisher.
Some might like this, though personally I use RSS to provide me with one reading interface across each source I read. So I suppose it does give you a simple location to organize all the sites you read, but a similar experience could be had by bookmarking each site you frequent and visiting them directly.
