Unread is an RSS reader for iOS with beautiful typography, comfortable gesture-based navigation, and a variety of color themes.

Unread automatically determines which feeds have full article content and which feeds just have summaries. When displaying articles from summary-only feeds, Unread retrieves full article content from the website. You get the full article in Unread without needing to open the website.
