Pulse: redefining the iPad RSS reader… again.
Just when you thought the RSS reader space was well-and-truly saturated on the iPad, along comes another one! But where Pulse differs from Newsrack, as a good example of an incumbent RSS reader on the iPad, is with a new take on the news reader UI that might just catch on.
Developed by Stanford Graduates Akshay Kothari and Ankit Gupta, Pulse’s UI is similar to the NPR app, with multiple ‘streams’ of RSS feeds. Where NPR has their different channels of media, each stream is a separate RSS feed.
The graphical aspect to each story is a big plus, providing you with added visual interest, rather than simply a confronting wall of text and article names.
Pulse is available now for $3.99 from the App Store. Judging by the current ranking in paid apps (#2!), customers are liking it, or at least have been bitten by the hype bug!
If you do happen to get it, post in the comments with your impressions.
