Android: No internet connection? Flyne is a new RSS reader for Android that downloads articles so that you can read them when you don’t have an active internet connection.
Flyne—made by the dev behind Falcon Pro, our best Twitter client for Android—asks you to choose from categories like Technology, Architecture, Music, Photography, Design, Food, and more, all of which have a pre-curated list of publications. You can’t manually add or delete sources here. Start the app and go to the category, and you can read the articles already downloaded in the app.
You can manually set how often you want Flyne to sync the data from all the sources in your feed, and whether to do it only on Wi-Fi or not. It’s also best to set a the amount of memory you want Flyne to use.
The reading interface itself is pleasing to the eye, and you can quickly flip between articles by swiping left and right. Flyne also strips the page of all ads and unnecessary elements, which makes the articles lighter on your memory. There’s also the option for a dark theme as well as the ability to set text size. You can favorite articles to read later and share them too.
While you can’t add your own feeds to Flyne, you can buy a $0.99 upgrade and sync it up with your Feedly, our best Android News Reader. There’s also an option to buy a similar upgrade for Twitter for $1.99, by which the app will smartly pull all the tweets with a link in your timeline.
