Readlines is a minimalist RSS reader that syncs with your Feedbin account. It simply displays a random headline from your unread items, on a light or dark background. Selecting the headlines opens the full original article in an embedded web browser, or optionally in Safari.
Readlines can be configured to automatically rotate through your news, making it a perfect app to keep running throughout the day. Periodic syncing makes sure your headlines are always fresh. Easy sharing to Facebook and twitter makes this app a must have for RSS addicts and typeface geeks alike.

Pretty much what the headline says. On an iPhone 4 (AT&T, 32gb) the app hard locks the entire phone. Can't multitask out of it, can't home button out of it. Have to restart the phone. That's... No fun. I like the idea of the app, just waiting for it to work. Definitely a much higher rating in the works when it stops crashing. Also, a lot of great ideas in the comments here. Take heed, developer!
Like the idea of this app. Needs a iphone sleep timer override. When that happens this will be a permanent fixture sitting on my dock on my desk while i'm at work. A neat addition but lower priority for me would be scrolling text for feed titles that don't fit on the screen.
This app does not work with iOS 9 on my iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6. Cannot log into any services.
Readlines constantly crashes after only a few minutes of use. It doesn't matter if I am multitasking or using it as the single application. This is beta quality at best and not worth a dollar. Don't buy until the developer updates. Icon is also hideous.
This app completely misrepresented itself! This is the first app that I had the misfortune to purchase.
Would like to see the following in future updates: -Configurable font size for headlines -Scrolling headlines -Configure which feeds or feed bundles to share from Google Reader -Override the autolock settings on iPhone when it is running -Configurable time before switching headlines -Preview of text when changing fonts in settings
