Introducing the Mobile+AI Lab

The Feedly mobile app was created during the Google Reader shutdown storm. During the past 5 years, the app has delivered on its promise and helped millions of curious minds connect to their favorite sources and topics on the go.

Today we are launching an initiative called the Mobile+AI Lab. In our minds, this is an opportunity to work with you, the Feedly community, to create a faster, simpler, and smarter Feedly.

We’re inviting 100 Feedly mobile users to join the Lab and work closely with the design and dev team as we explore new ideas.

We want this process to be as open and collaborative as possible.

We will be pushing a new Lab app and updating it every week or so with your features and experiments. We are starting with iOS in July and plan to expand to Android in August.

Conversations between the Feedly team and the community will happen on Slack, where we will collect ideas and feedback. We think this will help us iterate quickly and create a meaningful dialogue.

If you love the web and you love reading, this is a unique opportunity to have a big impact on what the next version of Feedly looks like. Click the button below to get started with a short survey:

We’re happy to have such a caring, engaged community. It’s exciting to connect with you, our customers. We can’t wait to learn from you.

Feedly For iPhone X

We have been using the iPhone X for two weeks and have found the fluidity of the touch-based interface and the beauty of the new OLED screen very inspiring. We just pushed out a new version of Feedly that takes advantage of these new features and more. We hope that you will enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.

New Layout

The new Feedly app is optimized for the iconic iPhone notch and respects the bottom home area.

What’s new in Feedly Mobile 37?

We just released a new version of the Feedly Mobile application for both iOS and Android. You can download them for free from the App Store and Google Play Store.

Here is a quick overview of the new features included in this release.

Faster, More Relevant Search

We redesigned the feed search experience so that you get faster and more relevant auto-completion and a broader set of topic suggestions. Finding the sources you want to follow is now faster and more relevant than before.

Mobile search returns a greater breadth of topics and sources

New Richer Cards

We enhanced the design of the card view. The new design is more readable and more modular. It allows us to surface notes and highlights when needed.

The modular design creates a uniform experience

New Notes Feature

If you are on a Feedly Pro or Teams plan, you can create notes to capture your thoughts and enrich stories with unique insights. Mention your friends and teammates by email to quickly share stories (along with your notes and highlights).

Enrich stories with your insights

New Highlights Feature

If you are part of the Pro or Teams plan, you can also highlight important passages that you want to come back to later. Share those passages with friends and teammates.

Press and drag to select the important text, then tap Highlight

New Team Boards section

If you are part of a Teams plan, you will see a new Team Boards section in the left navigation menu. This new section allows you to quickly access all the stories saved by your teammates across all the Team Boards you follow.

Your Personal Boards are listed on top of your Team Feeds and Boards

New iOS and Android Share Extensions

On both iOS and Android—from any app or mobile browser—our Save to Board extension gives you the option to save stories to your Feedly Boards (Personal or Team).

Open your phone’s share options and select the Feedly “Save to Board” extension

Bug fixes

We also took advantage of this new build to fix some bugs:

  • We changed the Buffer integration to avoid the crashes caused by the old SDK
  • For Android users, the share with email option now includes the URL of the story being shared

We look forward to seeing what the community does with Boards, notes and highlights on mobile. If you have questions, please leave a comment and we will be happy to answer them.
