Newsreader combines minimalist and elegant designs into one. It takes its inspiration from Flipboard app for iPhone obviously.
This design template is perfect for apps that want to show news articles or blog posts.
The design consists of four views.
- The Main category views that can be used to show the topics for the content.
- The Article cover page showing a nice fullscreen cover image with the title of the article at the bottom.
- The Article detail view which has the content of the article itself along with an image
- The elements screen has three custom UIButton designs and a custom UISlider.
Transparent UINavigationBar With Custom UIBarButtonItem
The navigation bar on the second screen is a transparent one with the View Controller showing up behind it. This gives it a unique look, not like the basic design your competitors have.
This theme comes with the standard features
- Sample XCode project (iOS 5)
- Design artwork (Sliced PNG’s) in both Retina and Standard resolution
- iPhone Photoshop PSD
Hi
Where can i get the sample app project from?
Nice Typography
THIS IS A REVIEW IS BASED ON A PREVIEW DOCUMENT SENT BEFORE ITS OFFICIAL RELEASE:
The vault master is a very talented designer and knows his stuff. He was also gracious enough to send me a photoshop doc containing the designs to beta test when I inquired before it’s official release. It’s a solid and well thought design, and I’m very pleased with the elements and the organization within the document.
Having no seen the code, I can’t really comment – though I bought SocialBoo and you can read my review on its page. I can say this, the flip boardish nature of the layout is going to take a little work to get right and consistently so if you r source is an rss feed of some type and you have no idea if (or what orientation) the images will be in. It’s a good, solid problem to solve though with many well documented approaches.
The only downside was that it didn’t have all of the elements I needed (again this was a sneak preview) but it had more than enough built in elements for me to make what I needed based on what came with the art. I fill in the gaps (my app is relatively large with lots of different types information) with socialBoo. They actually blended really nicely. I was surprised.
It’s good stuff, great price. Huge jumpstart and a great way to get a client to commit to a look n feel before you get into the heavy coding.
Thanks for your review!. Good stuff. I am happy it gave you a jumpstart into coding without having to do all the design up-front.
The new version of Newsreader is now out and should have all the elements you need. Just log in to your account and download it.
greetings I am interested in something similar but my question is this has already or is it just design codes? I just want the app to connect to a website that already have been done which is news please if I can answer that really brings this paque would appreciate it

Hi, I am not sure I understand your question but it is a design temple there os some sample code and you will need to code the bit that connects to a news feed
it’s 70 bucks just wondering if there is a real sample out there that I can try? you can mail me at aorangebox@hotmial.com to contact me. Would love to try this out.
Hi,
that looks like a very nice app. Nice GUI!
but i have questions:
in the category view screenshot it shows different categories (News, Technology and Finance). Does it mean you can add more categories via the code ?
Does the xcode project allow to add different RSS feed URLs for each category?
Can the place holder of the categories at the bottom scroll/swipe left/right if more categories are added?
thanks a lot.
Hi Pabloo… You have access to the full sample code so you can tweak, break, hack all you want. Nothing is impossible, especially if you are a rockstar developer
The sample doesn’t connect to any RSS feeds, you will have to implement that yourself. It is a design template and meant to help you make your app rock, give you a starting point to work with…
Does this app update using RSS Feeds?
No it doesn’t. It is supposed to be a design template that you implement in your own apps.
Hi Tope, Do you have a iPad version of this theme?
Hi Ajith… Not at the moment.
