At the suggestion of Kevin LaCoste<\/a>, I decided to try out Fever<\/a>. I don’t think I’ll have much use for its signature “takes the temperature of your slice of the web” feature, but as a personal RSS server it works well. The Web interface is very well done, though not as nice as a native app. I miss some features from NetNewsWire 3<\/a> such as nested folders, smart folders, and sorting by attention. I like how Fever has per-feed and per-group display preferences.<\/p>\n

I was not impressed with how the Fever Web site works in Mobile Safari. The design is fine, but some important features are not available, and it feels very slow.<\/p>\n

However, there are also several iPhone apps for accessing Fever, and I was blown away by how good they are. Both Reeder 3.1<\/a> and Sunstroke 1.5<\/a> work well and are fast enough for me. The situation is much better now than the last time I tried RSS (including Reeder) on iOS and gave up. Each app has a few elements that I prefer, but I will probably end up using Sunstroke because it seems to be faster than Reeder.<\/p>\n
