Source (News Reader)
Source pulls articles from different services such as Feedly, Twitter lists, Inoreader, RSS, and The Old Reader to give you all of the most up to date news that you are looking for. You can easily sign in to any of these services that you want to use and start personalizing your content to fit your needs, or you can choose from the default list of sources through Twitter.
Features:
- Beautiful, simple, and smooth user interface you'll love
- Tons of theming and color options to make make the app personalized to your favorite look
- Android Wear support to read your news right on your wrist
- Feedly,Twitter, Inoreader, The Old Reader, and RSS integration to find all of your favorites, all in one place
- View full articles in the app, not just summaries that Feedly or other services provide
- Chrome Custom Tabs support if you need to head to the webpage instead of just viewing the text
Source isn't a fully-featured replacement for services such as Feedly, and that isn't the goal! It won't allow you to add new subscriptions to each category or manage subcategories. Where Source shines is putting content right where you want it, all in one place so you can read what you want and skip past others without missing a beat. News is fun, easy and beautiful to look at!
Enjoy, and feel free to reach out to us if you've got any questions!

Not terribly active development, at this time, but from an exceptional developer, and has definite 5 ⭐ potential, but not quite there yet. I'm sure if it gets back to 'the front burner' it will quickly evolve into an app with no competition even in its league.
I like the layout of the app. It looks great and transitions smoothly, but it's impossible to see the full headline (when you use a large font), making it hard to recommend to people who use large fonts.
Great app that makes it so much easier to read my Feedly list! I can only imagine this getting even better with Luke Klinker behind the wheel.
Hopeless. Couldn't add a single rss feed.
If you are looking for news app that integrates Twitter and other sources.. This is it. Wonderfully done.
Revisiting this app: Still can't import OPML...
Still not there yet.
No way to change back to unread for an article, no way to open a specific feed, no way to stay in article view and jump to the next article... All features that are must have for heavy rss users. Pathetic
Could be the best app but its buggy a lot. It repeats articles for example. On the other hand it looks like Luke abandoned this app. Too bad.
The design of the app is amazing! the UI is beautiful.
The app looks great and manages to show more of the feed than other apps that just show a short summary. I was looking for a syncing replacement for Feedly because my work has blocked it. Source pulls all my feeds in from The Old Reader well but it's not syncing read articles back to TOR. Maybe it's not supposed to but I can't see the point of using an API to a third party if it doesn't. If sync is fixed or added, this would be my daily driver.
Luv the look and feel, but can't stand the constant repeated articles. Same ones over and over. And if you leave and come back by any means it jumps you back to the top losing your spot. Some of the news sources are political trash.
It has everything I could want in an app that has my news.
Talon is my twitter client of choice so I thought source would be amazing too. Well it doesn't load the news reliable (inoreader) and it marks every article as read. The "complete article text" feature is nice but all the pictures or graphics embeded in the article are missing.
Light weight and good UI. The widget only opens the articles. It needs to be able to open the app as well.
Not really a fan of this app. It's material, and looks nice. When it functions properly, it works great. Most of the time when it loads the newest articles, as soon as you read one article, it loads a whole new group of articles, completely. Good luck reading a article you saw ahead of the present one you're reading. Other times, it loads articles with the wrong source, or loads six or seven articles all in a row, repeatedly. Wrote the developer with no response as of yet.
Some feeds don't ever work even though they do in flym. And opml import never works for me but the same opml file works in flym.
It has big problems with marking articles as read. Sometimes it will mark all articles as read without scrolling at all. When it doesn't do that, it's basic mark as read on scroll logic is pretty bad, it will mark any article as read as soon as a sliver of the article card/list appears on the screen, so in order to make sure you don't accidentally mark an article as read, you have to make sure you don't let the bottom most article fully scroll onto the screen. Annoying for a feed reader
Thank. You. For this app. I looked everywhere, and this is the only app that lets you read ENTIRE articles on your watch!! Thank you!
I bought this app so that the endless search for a multi source news app could come to an end. This app has promise, but seeing as my news feed is separately organized from one device to another, it seems very half baked and unfinished. What I would love to see is an account system that links to the device's Google account that shares the sources for the articles. Otherwise, this app is a good start but lacks stability to be my daily driver for news.
App crashes when trying to open it when not connected to any data or wifi. Yes it does fetch lots of full articles but I can't see progress so how do I know it's finished before data is unavailable. I can't see how many feeds I have to read. And it always makes the first feed as read when it downloads. Feeds marked as read don't change how they look until you change menu item. Update: And marks all as unread if manual is selected.
Wonky at first but becomes quickly intuitive, seems to have syncing issues, and there is zero control for the wear app i could find. I hope to see new features and fixes in updates
It's just that the websites wrong and empty icons are bugging me.. Keep up the good work!
One of the better newsreader apps out there right now, but still definitely in development. I use Feedly as my feed aggregator and connect Source to it. Source doesn't currently sync the read status of articles FROM Feedly after they've been downloaded; i.e., if I read an article on the desktop, then resync, it's still marked as unread on my device. Also, there is no unread article count. Add these features and the app would be a high 4. If it also showed the individual feed names under my Feedly categories so that I could select a single feed to read, it would be a solid 5.
Great way to check ur Twitter Lists
Aside from the issue with all Feedly articles bring marked as read, articles will occasionally have the right headline but the author, source and favicon from the wrong article. Could also benefit from a floating back to the top button.
The app has a smooth design with very intuitive features like inline article expansion. It has beautiful material design and a good selection of sources. It is smooth and has Android wear support as well.
It crashes on launch since the latest update. (Found a fix --- clear data then reboot.)
Actually pretty good news reader, once the bugs are cleared, this app has became my favourites news reader over other such as google news and the flip board.
