The popular Reeder 3 RSS reader becomes free

News or publication readers were very successful years ago. It is a way of being informed of your news services, or preferences of tastes and styles, from the same application, without having to change applications or web pages.

One of the most famous was Reeder, who now has version 3 on the market. This application has become free, both for macOS and for the rest of operating systems. To date the application has a cost of € 11. Which is a significant reduction, since its price has not been promoted at any time.

The least satisfactory part for users of this type of service is knowing the motives of the developer of the App. It is possible that the developer has no future plans for the App and therefore you do not want to charge for a service that logically requires maintenance. But we have no news from the developer, therefore it is nothing more than a hypothesis.

Another option that is discussed in the forums is the possibility of seeing in the future a new version that surely has the name of Reeder 4, which would have a cost. In any case, given that this type of application is having a decline in popularity, except in specific cases (I personally use them daily), it is most likely to be abandoned.

In any case, the developer wanted to get the job done well and today we have the updated application, with the always necessary correction of errors. We will see how this version behaves with RAM management, main drawback in the use of the application. Until version 3.2, the consumed RAM was held captive by the application until the application was closed. Later this point was modified and as soon as the internal web of the application is closed, the RAM memory is freed. We hope that these modifications do not affect the smooth running of Reeder 3 on macOS Mojave. In any case, any change in performance, we comment.
