Stories Now is a simple RSS reader where everything is displayed as Instagram stories

If you like them you are in luck because now you can have them practically on almost any page you are interested in with the new RSS reader from the same creator of other interesting applications like HyperZoom.

RSS readers are not very fashionable, with a few exceptions that still survive today, in part due to the proliferation of other types of ephemeral and ephemeral media such as stories. Stories Now brings it all together in one app, the present and the past: RSS feeds and stories.

An RSS reader where everything is stories

We are in 2021 and you have just launchedn new RSS reader for Android, a way to keep up to date with all the news from your favorite websites (also Engadget Android) that is more typical of a decade ago, but still valid today.

Its name is Stories Now and as stated it is an RSS reader that displays the titles, a fragment of the text and the photo of each article as a story Instagram, so you can quickly switch between them with a strategic touch on the side of the screen.

The app is free, simple, and somewhat limited in options at the moment, although functional. Its use is no different from that of any other RSS reader: you need to add the sources first and then you can check the titles as a story. If you want to read a specific article, you can do that by swiping your finger up, which will open the link in your header browser.

The effect is achieved, although it is more attractive when the RSS feed includes a photo and a piece of text, otherwise you just have a succession of headlines in large text and in color, but nothing else. Useful for those who want an RSS but want browse the news quickly.
