ANDROID CENTRAL: Deer Reader for Android

GPS · Oct 5, 2013

Deer Reader, a Google Reader client for Android, has a great design and set of features that has the ability to appeal to a wide range of users. News reading apps usually fall into either the "casual user" (think Flipboard, Google Currents) or "power user" (GReader, Press) category, and Deer Reader is taking a shot right down the middle with its client. Integrating with Google Reader instantly pushes you towards a more involved setup, as most "normal" users aren't keeping curated news and podcast RSS feeds, but what Deer Reader does with the presentation of these RSS feeds is what makes it more user-friendly.

Stick around after the break for a video walkthrough of the UI on both phones and tablets, and to see if Deer Reader is a good choice for you.

The overall UI of Deer Reader is extremely smooth and responsive, following Google's latest design guidelines and applying its own bit of style on top. The UI on both phones and tablets is holo, with the standard paradigm of a navigation bar on top holding action buttons and a sliding panel on the left as a menu. The settings are sparse but hit all of the right points, with auto-sync intervals and some navigation controls. There's also a very nice scrolling widget, which is again properly holo themed and customizable.
