Inoreader

In 2012, Ivo Djokov and Yordan Yordanov co-founded Innologica Ltd. They started working on a project, called Inoreader, after reading 2012 speculation that Google Reader was to shut down.{{cite web | url=http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/inoreader-fast-functional-rss-reader-talking/ | title=Inoreader: The Fast & Functional RSS Reader We Should Be Talking About | date=8 July 2014 | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=Saikat Basu}} The founders sought to create a platform that used RSS feeds, content reading, and was power-user friendly, with social media integration to connect users to the information they find interesting.{{cite web | url=http://www.ghacks.net/2013/06/05/inoreader-fast-rss-reader-for-the-web/ | title=InoReader: fast RSS reader for the Web | date=5 June 2013 | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=Martin Brinkmann}} In 2013, Inoreader was officially launched in three versions: Basic, Plus, and Professional, which supported both RSS and Atom.

After the initial release of Inoreader, several developers joined the project and Innologica opened its API for other developers' use.{{cite web | url=https://www.inoreader.com/developers/ | title=Developer portal intro | access-date=1 June 2015}}

The application interface evolved several times from an early version, optimized for a wide range of devices. The application requires registration and can be configured to fetch feeds within regular intervals. In late 2013, Inoreader had an upgrade to its user experience and design. Apart from the basic function of content and feed reader, Inoreader serves additional functions, some of the features are{{cite web | url=http://www.eweek.com/blogs/upfront/inoreader-3.0-news-reader-for-android-gets-even-better.html | title=Inoreader 3.0 News Reader for Android Gets Even Better | publisher=Eweek | date=20 November 2014 | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=Todd R.

For further control over the reader’s interface and how things function, user can access the preferences menus and control various aspects of the app’s behavior from the Reading tab.{{cite web | url=http://www.elandroidelibre.com/2014/12/inoreader-un-lector-de-rss-digno-rival-y-alternativa-feedly.html | title=Inoreader: un lector de RSS digno rival y alternativa a Feedly | access-date=1 June 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150327145252/http://www.elandroidelibre.com/2014/12/inoreader-un-lector-de-rss-digno-rival-y-alternativa-feedly.html | archive-date=March 27, 2015}} One could then order that list by date or relevance.{{cite web | url=http://wwwhatsnew.com/2014/08/18/inoreader-anade-expresiones-regulares-y-cuatro-nuevas-acciones-para-crear-reglas/ | title=Inoreader añade expresiones regulares y cuatro nuevas acciones para crear reglas | date=18 August 2014 | access-date=1 June 2015}} Users can also choose the layout of feeds and folders.

In July, 2013, Innologica released an Android app for Inoreader, and in July 2014 they launched the iOS app.{{cite web | url=http://androidcommunity.com/inoreader-yet-another-rss-and-news-reader-app-for-android-20141126/ | title=Inoreader: Yet another RSS and News Reader app for Android | date=26 November 2014 | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=R Padla}} The app is free to use for all users, while the functionality options depend on the account type.{{cite web | url=http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/feedly-alternatives/ | title=Feedly Alternatives: 5 Other RSS Readers You Should Try | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=Azzief Khaliq}} The application syncs the feed information for the whole account, so readers can continue with the unread articles they had on the web platform. As of Feb 2016, the app has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 on Google Play and 5 out of 5 on iTunes.{{cite web |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innologica.inoreader| title= Google Play:Inoreader | publisher= Google Play | access-date=May 31, 2015}}{{cite web |url=https://apps.apple.com/app/inoreader/id892355414| title= iTunes Preview Inoreader| publisher= iTunes | access-date=May 31, 2015}}

In April, 2013, Innologica released Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera extensions for Inoreader. Inoreader integrates into the web browser, where all of the news feeds can be found and filtered in search. The user can use the extension to subscribe to feeds or save web pages. The extension has a rating of 4.79 out of 5 on the Chrome Web Store.

Early reviews for the application have been mostly positive. It was considered one of the main Google Reader alternatives{{cite web | url=http://www.eweek.com/cloud/google-reader-is-dead-but-theres-still-time-to-switch-rss-readers | title=Google Reader Is Dead, but There's Still Time to Switch RSS Readers | publisher=Eweek | date=2 July 2013 | access-date=1 June 2015 | author=Todd R.

It has been appreciated mostly for the many different functions it provides to users, most of which are included in the free Basic plan, although with limited use.{{cite web | url=http://betanews.com/2014/09/08/calling-all-rss-fans-inoreader-now-supports-microsoft-onenote/ | title=Calling all RSS fans!

The company later announced that ads can be removed if the user opts for a plan upgrade.
