Description
* Now you can tweet (post to Twitter) within the latest version of this app! *
RSS Probe is a fast and simple feed reader supporting the both RSS 1.0/2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats. With its iPhone savvy user interface, you can quickly access various feeds, and even look at its original web page without launching Safari.
On the setup screen, the URL of your OPML file can be specified to import your favorite feeds, so you can easily pick up and add the desired feeds. (Your OPML file must be uploaded on the Internet prior to this operation.)
Specifications:
- The maximum number of feeds: 20
- The maximum number of entries per feed: 25

- "Post to Twitter" function for easier information sharing
- Ability to cancel time-consuming processes such as updating of all feeds
Improvements on this version:

Customer Reviews
Needs some work: READ CAREFULLY
It visually looks nicer than the others; however, it takes a while to load all the RSS Feeds, every time you open it. You can have it check every 15 minutes, but it is still annoying. The most annoying problem of all, is the lack of a "Mark All As Read" option. You will have unread RSS feeds that pile on and on. I like to clear them off after a while, with this, you have to go through each and every topic to make them as read.
I Think I Found One I like!!
I saw the screenshots for this app and thought I'd give it a chance. Very responsive. Would like a feed search so that you would not have to add each url. Other than that I love it.
RSS Probe
This is one of the better RSS readers that I've run across (and I've tried several). It is a very functional reader overall, but it could be improved in a couple of areas:
-allow the user to add a feed simply by typing the URL without having to find the actual address of the feed
-record more than 20 items per feed
-provide more space between the page up and page downs (they are much too close together)
-provide a function that allows the user to group different feeds into folders
