    Maintenance Release. New in this update: Bug fixes, feed and performance improvements. In recent updates: 1. Use SkyDrive to automatically keep Discourse in sync across your PCs and to provide an online backup of your sections etc. NOTE: Synchronization happens as sections are refreshed - it is not immediate (you can, of course, manually refresh to sync immediately). 2. Improved Import/Export of OPML. OPML can now be used to import sections as well as feeds. 3. A new "Recent Tiles" section shows the articles recently shown on your live tiles 4. Each column in the columns view now has "hot corners" at the top. - Tap the left corner for save toggling, Tap the right corner for read/unread toggling. 5. Optional in-app browser (enable/disable using settings charm) 6. Share either a link to an article or the full content (just tap the share icon within the article to choose, rather than using the share charm directly) 7. Unread counts now appear in the sections menu 8. Performance and memory improvements and bug fixes. Many thanks to everyone who contacted support@kindredintellect.com - it's the very best way to get the fixes and features you want. Special thanks to Reinhard and Denny.

Discourse

Discourse lets you to keep up with your favorite news sources (including feeds from Twitter lists and searches) in a clear, picture-rich, easy to read newspaper-like format. Create your own 'Sections' of news, combining one or more of the large number of included feeds, a topic of interest, Twitter searches and lists, or by searching for and adding fully custom feeds of your own. You'll get great readability of the full content, images too, for the majority of articles right from within Discourse, even for custom and Twitter feeds. Discourse can automatically keep you in sync across your PCs by saving Sections, Feeds, Saved Stories and Read articles to your SkyDrive if you wish. As sections are refreshed they will be synced. Discourse doesn't require any subscriptions or news/feed service accounts to work. However if you have a Twitter account you can use it as a news source. A selection of visual themes are included if you prefer more variety (including Dark, of course). Other features: - Share individual articles into Discourse using the Share charm from other apps so you can read them later. If you have SkyDrive saving enabled they will automatically be synced. - Support for many audio and video podcasts (those with audio and video enclosures) - Optimized for great execution on Surface & Windows RT machines - Pin a live tile to your start screen for sections, including custom sections (Twitter feeds currently not supported for live tiles). - Import and Export your RSS and Atom feeds (as OPML files) and section definitions (as SECTIONS files). You can also export and import from SkyDrive, just use the picker and choose SkyDrive. - Search for articles across your sections using the "Search Charm". - You can also save pages to Discourse's "Saved Stories" section so you can read them later, offline, at your leisure. - Highly configurable via the settings charm. - Twitter search required a Twitter account and uses the standard twitter search syntax.

By far the best RSS reader in the windows store!

I totally love this app. It's the best reader I've used anywhere. Absolute dream. I can't recommend it enough.

I've been conflicted but really nothing is perfect. Dev does work hard and things do go wrong both are ture. I hope for it to get much better.

1. True offline reading with all images. I don't care that downloading images fir every article could take awhile. Most of my reading is done offline anyway, so let me download all the images instead of just a few. 2. Hierarchical feed reading as an option. I need to expand and contract my feeds, and I can't jump to the feed I want to read without clicking on several icons or sliding through many articles just to reach the feed I want to read. Maybe I'm missing something.

Very good UI & decent customization options. One of the better apps I've found for the Surface.

Works very well! Sharing works exactly as expected, and it syncs across my PC and Surface!

I really like the way this news aggregator works. It has a very clean design and is quite easy to use. I like it very much and it is definitely worth the small investment.
