Unread 3.4

Unread 3.4 is available from the App Store. This update adapts to the shutdown of Feed Wrangler:

  • Feed Wrangler accounts can no longer be added to Unread.
  • Unread no longer tries to refresh Feed Wrangler accounts.
  • Unread no longer deletes outdated articles from Feed Wrangler accounts.
  • The ability to subscribe to a feed, edit a feed subscription, and unsubscribe from a feed is disabled for Feed Wrangler accounts.
  • The ability to add, edit, and remove smart streams is disabled for Feed Wrangler accounts.
  • Marking articles read/unread and starred/unstarred still works, but those changes are no longer synced in Feed Wrangler accounts.

The ability to import subscriptions into an Unread Cloud or Local account from a Feed Wrangler account that is not already synced to the device is disabled as well.

If you were using Feed Wrangler and have not yet setup a new account, Unread will let you import subscriptions from a synced Feed Wrangler account into an Unread Cloud account or Local account. Unread also lets you export your subscriptions from a synced Feed Wrangler account to an OPML file. Please get in touch if you need assistance. The Feed Wrangler website still offers subscription exports and migration to Feedbin.

This update also incorporates these improvements:

  • This update adds bug fixes around subscribing to YouTube RSS feeds.
  • This update fixes a bug that prevented retrieval of webpage text for articles from dw.com.
  • This update fixes bugs around Unread’s trackpad support on the iPadOS 16.4 beta.
