[/caption]There are many RSS reader apps out there. Many of them are okay, many of them are not. There are some that stand out, and then there is that one that really shines. For me that one was River of News.
River of News takes the concept of a river and makes it into an RSS reader. Instead of having to jump back and forth between header and article or being forced to making a decision based on a little picture and a couple lines of text or other things like that, with River of News, you just scroll. The articles come one after the other, If you don't like the one that you're reading, just scroll further, just like a river. The articles just keep coming.
If you would like to switch between streams, swipe either to the left or to the right. It's that simple.

Verdict:
There's just one thing that really stands out as an improvement that could be made, and that is that it sometime doesn't load fast enough. That could be fixed by just allowing it to preload content.
All in all, River of News is a wonderful RSS reader app and I recommend it to all RSS readers with an iPad.
