I'm very disappointed by this. I use Reader to manage all my RSS feeds. I check Reeder on my phone more than I use any other app.

It just goes to show, if you're using Google software that has no advertising and isn't used to sell advertising, it could end any day, and it probably will some day.

I'll be purchasing a Feedafever license, which also happens to work with Reeder. http://www.feedafever.com/

I'm considering buying Feedafever as well only because of Reeder integration. I think this just shows that any service can and most likely will just shut down, and we have to be ready to move to the next best alternative. Reeder is a great app and I enjoy using it because it's elegant. I recommend it and after seeing Newsblur mentioned here I wonder if Reeder can integrate with Newsblur (Newsblur is down so I'm assuming it doesn't already have a good mobile interface).

Per the @reederapp Twitter feed, "Dont worry, Reeder wont die with Google Reader."

I'm looking at FaF but not seeing how this works with Reeder?

Reeder on the iPhone syncs with Fever, but neither the Mac nor iPad versions of Reeder do.

Sunstroke (https://goneeast.com/sunstroke/) is a better Fever-specific client for the iPhone, I think... but it doesn't have either an iPad or a Mac version. On the Mac you can use Fever's web interface but on the iPad you're pretty much out of luck, as there are no native clients and trying to use the web interface there is crazy-making. (Actually, the web interface is a little crazy-making in any web browser. It's just a lot crazy-making on the iPad.)

Wow. I mostly use Reeder on my phone, but it hadn't even crossed my mind that the iPad and OS X versions possibly wouldn't have Fever support.

The author should really make that a priority, he has 2,5 months to make it happen.

It's true, Fever is an Account type for Reeder.

Ah, but just for the iPhone client, which is the only one I don't use (as I have an Android phone).
