Fiery Feeds vs Newsify

Fiery Feeds

• People who already use a feed service and want an Apple client for it
• Readers who want feeds and a read-later queue in one app
• Users who like to adjust layouts, themes and sharing actions in detail

Newsify

• iPhone, iPad and Mac users who like a newspaper-style layout for feeds
• Feedly users who want an Apple client for their account
• People who read feeds offline, with images cached ahead of time

Fiery Feeds

• Apple platforms only: iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no web, Windows or Android version listed.
• Text extraction, offline full text, feed management, smart views, custom themes and home screen widgets are Pro features.
• The US App Store lists Pro purchases of $1.99, $4.99 and $9.99 without saying which billing period each covers.
• The App Store listing requires iOS 17, iPadOS 17 or macOS 14 or later.

Newsify

• There is no Android or Windows app, and the FAQ says an Android version is not planned.
• The free app shows ads in the article list; removing them takes Premium or a separate Remove Ads purchase listed at $2.99.
• Automatic full text, full-text search, mute filters and faster updates all require Newsify Premium.
• The web reader needs a Newsify account, and Feedly is the only third-party sync service listed.

Fiery Feeds

Wide choice of feed accounts

Works with Feedly, Feedbin, Fever, Inoreader, NewsBlur, BazQux, The Old Reader, FeedHQ, FreshRSS and Tiny Tiny RSS, and with local or iCloud feed accounts that need no outside service.

Article, web and text view modes

An article can be shown as the feed supplies it, as the web page inline, or as extracted text only, and the last mode used is remembered per feed. Text extraction is a Pro feature.

Smart views and saved searches

Hot Links collects the sites most linked to from your articles, and other views sort by posting frequency or word count. Saved searches filter by keyword. Smart views are a Pro feature.

Read-later accounts

Instapaper and wallabag accounts sync both ways, and links can also be kept in a local or iCloud read-later account. A Safari extension subscribes to feeds and saves links.

Layouts, themes and keyboard control

One-, two- and three-pane layouts and a vertical split are available, fonts and colors can be changed, and an external keyboard can control the whole app. Custom themes need Pro.

Apple Intelligence summaries

Version 2.15 added article summaries, topic categorization and translation through Apple Intelligence on iOS 26, and a later update added a single switch that turns the AI features off.

Newsify

Newspaper-style article lists

Article lists can be shown as a newspaper-like page, a large view, a traditional table or a split view on iPad, with thumbnails when the feed supplies them.

Three ways to sync

Sync through a Newsify account or Feedly, or use the app without an account and sync through iCloud. Multiple accounts can be added on iOS and macOS.

Offline reading

Articles and their images are downloaded during sync for reading offline on iOS and macOS. Only the feed content is saved unless Premium's full-text caching is used.

Web reader

People with a Newsify account can also read their feeds in a web browser at newsify.co, in addition to the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps.

Automatic full text

Premium fetches the full text of most partial feeds automatically, saves it for offline reading and lets search cover the full text. Summaries through Apple Intelligence are a beta Premium feature.

Newsify Account Plus

With Premium, a Newsify account gains mute filters, receives new items up to 10 times faster and keeps more feed history.
