Any full feed iPad rss reader
Is there any rss feed reader for iPad which fetches full feeds for offline viewing?
Most of readers only fetch headlines and to read articles one needs to go online within app. Currently I am using byline 3.0 with full force. Byline fetches full web page for offline reading but it's very slow. Any suggestion please. Thanks |

Its probably not the RSS reader. The site sets the RSS feed parameters. Check out www.wizardrss.com. This a good workaround. You edit the feed slightly and the site feeds the full page to your RSS reader. Works for most sites and most readers.

You'd have to use an app. If you're using google reader, you can try mobilerss https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=31
Otherwise there are bunch off rss-apps. Search in the AppStore for rss |

i tried mobile rss hd. it doesn't fetch full feeds for offline viewing. it fetches full feed only if rss feed contains full feed e.g. Engadget etc.
wizardrss is good option but unfortunately it doesn't fetch more than 4 or 5 articles per feed. thanks for suggestions. |

Your terminology is wrong, which is why you're getting some duff answers. There's no such thing as an RSS reader that captures the full feed -- if the site provides a full feed then they all do, but if it doesn't then none of them do, because that full feed simply doesn't exist to be captured. As you point out, Byline will load the referenced web page as well as the feed, which isn't the same thing as a full feed, but as you also point out that makes it quite slow. Any other reader that does the same is also going to be slow.

But some do it better than others.
There are many different criteria people look at when selecting a reader: number of feeds, sync with Google, formatting, etc. But to me the ability to get at the full article quickly, if that's what I want to do after reading the partial feed, is one of the more important ones. I like Pulse in this regard since it anticipates what I want to do fairly well. The standard display in Pulse is a box with a photo from the story (if it's part of the feed) or the first line or two of text. It displays about 16 of those. When you select one of the boxes you then get the "full" partial feed. But also, as soon as you do that, it starts loading the website in the background just in case you want to select that tab to read the full article. Pulse is not the only RSS reader that does this but it's the one I use and it does it well.. Any reader that tries to grab the full story for each feed right off the bat, would be a very slow app. |

have you looked at Reeder? it was recently released for the ipad and i know it does some sort of pre-caching. i'm happy with newsrack so i have no real desire to look at it. i do know it is getting some rave reviews.

in my opinion after Byline, Reeder is best available option. if future updates make it cache full page like byline it would make it perfect. |

newsrack downloads images in the background, and you can control how many it does as well..

This app optimizes and caches the full page for offline reading
Please try this app
