I would like to introduce my new iOS/iPadOS release to the MacRumors community: Next Level News is a one of a kind news reader with modern iOS features, powerful bulk actions, undo/redo support, iCloud sync, advanced search, multi-selection support, and much more.

Overview:


Your News, Your Way
Customize article previews for each feed and group feeds into your own custom categories.

A New Kind of News Reader with Bulk Actions
Next Level News provides advanced features you won’t find in other apps; you can apply bulk actions not just to entire feeds, but also to entire sections of content and to custom categories you create.

Multi-Selection
Want to act on several articles but not the entire list? Multi-selection is supported. Most news readers allow you to either act on one article at a time or the entire list. With Next Level News, select as many articles as you want.

Undo/Redo
Made a mistake? Next Level News supports undo/redo (even for bulk actions).

You can get Next Level News on the App Store now.​

Happy Thursday! I'm stopping by to tell you all about the 1.0.9 update to Next Level News.

New in this version:
-You can now invoke actions on all the selected articles quickly by long pressing on one of the selected rows.
-Minor bug fixes and improvements.

Here's a quick demo video of this new feature.



This is an additional way to act on multiple articles in the timeline. There are few more ways you can invoke bulk actions in Next Level News (and even apply them just to search results). You can find another demo here:



Also I wanted to share that a recent update added a new "App Appearance" area in Settings, allowing you to customize the Interface Style of Next Level News.
