One of the most popular options on iOS and OS X is Reeder - the developer has announced that it will support a variety of alternative backends. What are some alternative apps you can recommend? On the Mac, use the "Export Subscriptions." item in the File menu. On iOS, open the settings (gear icon), scroll down to the bottom and tap "Export Feed List.". This is an open file format for feed lists, and pretty much every RSS app on the market can import it. FAQīoth versions of NewsRack (iOS and Mac) can export your list of feeds as an OPML file. I'm sorry that I've not been able to give NewsRack as much attention as it would have needed to move forward.
I realize now that I should have drawn the consequences a lot sooner - it's been clear for a while that NewsRack was falling behind the competition in a lot of ways. This has been one of the main reasons that I moved my focus away from NewsRack and began working more on other apps - basing a business on a quasi-monopolistic web service with an uncertain future just seemed like a very risky proposition. It's been clear for a while that Reader didn't get much love from Google, and its API was never officially supported. While it has always been possible to use NewsRack as a standalone RSS reader, in practice, most users preferred to sync their subscriptions with Google Reader, and with that possibility going away, the app loses much of its value. After nearly 5 years in the App Store, this also marks the end of the road for NewsRack. On July 1, Google Reader will be shut down.
