Craig and everyone Else,

Thanks for the great advice.  I purchased Lire and I am looking forward to
playing with it.  

Richard

Subject: Re: Lire or Newsify

Hello, Richard.

I suggest starting with Lire.  Its interface is uncluttered, and its
settings are laid out well and have very understandable descriptions.
The added fee for caching large numbers of articles has been dropped.
The caching options allow the user to turn off automatic caching and also
for disabling the downloading of images, very helpful for VoiceOver users.
It's true that you cannot read through a list of, say, fifty articles and
then delete this list before proceeding to the next bunch of articles, but
if you wish, you can flick down with one finger and delete each article
separately if you decide after reading its title that you don't want to read
it.  The fact that Lire now supports Feedly means you can have a truly
cross-platform experience.
Be aware that if you leave caching turned on, Lire may take a very long time
to cache a bunch of articles.

I wouldn't at all dismiss Newsify.  However, its settings are more
sophisticated and have descriptions that don't give adequate clues as to
their functions.  It's a very rich reader, though, and should you wish to
graduate to it, you may well be pleased with it.  VoiceOver support is very
good.  It supports stand-alone mode and also a Feedly account.

Feeddler (note the double D in "Feeddler" is also an excellent app.
Its main advantage is that it supports synching with a number of RSS
services: Bazqux, The Old Reader, FeedHQ, the AOL Reader, and Inoreader.
However, it does not support Feedly.  VoiceOversupport is very good.

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Craig
