When The Early Edition RSS reader launched alongside the original iPad in 2010, it redefined the daily newspaper. Then we did it all over again with Early Edition 2.

Just like the original, The Early Edition 2 is a beautiful, up-to-the-minute newspaper that puts you in the editorial seat. But that’s where the similarities end. Completely re-imagined and re-built, The Early Edition 2 is a whole new experience.

I've tried a lot of RSS readers but this is the best yet. I use this with the Guardian's full text RSS feeds. It's much more usable than the Guardian app and as up-to-date as the website.

This app is awesome. It is not to have all your favourite news feeds in one app and read like your newspaper. I've used the app for years and still remains one of my favorites.

Like reading a real newspaper. Has previously been plagued by glitches but this is *** fixed. Recommended
