Unread

I really like the idea of an app being comfortable. Comfortable means always knowing where you are. It means not worrying about making a mistake. It means information has an obvious visual hierarchy: bold titles, tidy paragraphs, and spacious margins. Comfortable means there’s not visual clutter to distract you, except for those items that are supposed to stand out, like buttons or the damn status bar.

Jared Sinclair has created a masterpiece with his new app Unread. It is one of a handful of apps that have capitalized on the design possibilities that have opened up with iOS 7. It's precisely what an RSS reader ought to be.
