The best news and RSS apps for iPhone that keep you up to date on the headlines you care about most
The iPhone is one of the best ways to keep up with the world around us and our news feeds are no exception. From finance and politics to the latest and greatest in tech and fashion trends, there are tons of news and RSS apps in the App Store that put all the headlines right at your fingertips. No matter what kind of news you want to keep up with, there's something for everyone. The are currently my favorite news apps for iPhone...
Reeder 2
Reeder 2 can integrate with lots of different RSS services, or you can add feeds manually if you're willing to forego syncing. The thing that's so great about Reeder is the simplistic interface paired with a completely customizable experience. Beginners can use it right out of the gate while RSS pros can hop into settings and adjust settings such as image caching, sharing services, and more just the way they like. Reeder 2 is a universal download for iPad as well.
If you want a simplistic experience that you can control each element of, get Reeder 2.

Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance is designed specifically for use with Feed Wrangler accounts and provides one of the best experiences using the service you could ask for. With support for Smart Streams, the ability to edit and manage feeds natively, and more, it's one of the best options I've found for Feed Wrangler users. The gestures of Reconnaissance are also wonderful and allow you to flick stories away to mark them as read, drag them down to send to a read later service, and more.
If you use the Feed Wrangler service and want awesome gesture support, you want Reconnaissance.

Faast
Faast isn't only an RSS app for your iPhone, it has the ability to deliver real time notifications based on what you specify. You can import feeds from many popular RSS services as well as Dropbox. Faast doesn't stop there, it also integrates your Facebook, Twitter, and email accounts as well for a complete notification solution. Have a Pebble? Faast can even deliver real time notifications to that too so you don't even have to pull your iPhone out to be alerted to breaking news.
If you want a complete all-in-one notification solution for everything social and news related combined with Pebble integration, look no further than Faast.

Feed Wrangler
The official Feed Wrangler app for iPhone is a simplistic and easy way to sort, organize, and read your news feeds. In my experience, Feed Wrangler as a service is one of the fastest around when it comes to syncing. The Feed Wrangler app itself is very minimal but more than gets the job done with support for Smart Streams, full article view, and more. For the most part, Feed Wrangler gets out of the way and lets your articles take center stage.
If you're a Feed Wrangler subscriber that wants simplicity and speed, the official Feed Wrangler app is your best bet.

lire
lire aims to solve a common problem that most news apps all have in common, appending articles. No one likes using in-app browsers to continue reading an article. lire solves this problem and always loads full article views. Another unique feature of lire is integration with the Amazon Kindle service so you can automatically send articles and eBooks right from lire. Unfortunately lire requires you to add feeds manually, but if you can overlook that, it definitely has some unique features other news apps just don't have.
For integration with the Amazon Kindle service and article views that are never truncated, check out lire.

Feedly
The official Feedly app is a full featured news feed app that can be used with or without an actual Feedly account. Without one you can browse for news feeds and categories at your leisure. If you create a Feedly account using your Google login, Feedly can sync your feeds between iPhone and iPad or any other RSS and news app you choose to use. Feedly isn't incredibly customizable but it does make for a great way to discover new content.
If you want a visually appealing news app that lets you easily discover new content and feeds, check out Feedly.
