News Wall for iPad & iPhone

News Wall is a news feed reader for iPad and iPhone with an extraordinary different interface. It has been designed to support skimming so users can focus solely on the content. Both the paid app and a free version including ads support fast app switching and the Retina Display.

What is it all about

News Wall reads RSS feed so you have the choice which content you want to use. Every feed is displayed as a scrollable row containing the feed’s items side-by-side. These rows can be collapsed so the display space is used in the most efficient way.

Share what you like

While reading your news you can easily share them via Twitter or e-mail. Furthermore, articles can be saved using Instapaper and Read It Later.
Of course, URL shortening via Bit.ly is supported as well. You even can hook up your own Bit.ly account so you keep track of the clicks.

Be prepared

News Wall runs both on iPhone and iPad requiring iOS 3.2 or higher. It supports Fast App Switching on iOS4 and the Retina Display of the iPhone 4.
