What makes Current a different kind of RSS reader
Current is designed without these traditional RSS reader features. Instead, the app presents you with a selection of articles you can read, filtering out old content over time so there's always a reasonable amount to choose from. I've been using Current for a few days, and I think it really does solve this—and other—issues many people have with RSS readers. I can already see how it's going to change the way I read.

Click or tap any headline to start reading. Current supports reading all articles directly in the app, even when the RSS feed doesn't have the full text. Then, when you're done reading, you actively "release" the article in order for it to disappear from your list. You can also save the article for later, if you want.

How I'm using Current
Having said that, I'm not going to stop using my RSS feed of choice, NetNewsWire. I think the traditional RSS reader is very useful for keeping up with technology headlines, and that works well for my workflow. Current is a better tool for non-work reading. On my feed, I added a combination of breaking news sources and long-form essayists. I open it when I want to spend a few minutes reading. There's always something interesting and I never feel overwhelmed. Even more crucially: the River eventually runs out of articles, so I have a natural moment to change gears and do something else.
It makes sense if you've tried out RSS apps but didn't stick with them. Current isn't like those apps, though, and might actually stick. You can buy Current for $9.99, which grants you access to the app on all Apple platforms.
