Last week, we clued you in on DevHD’s plans as it prepares Feedly, its popular news aggregator app, for life after Google Reader. Now, one of those plans have come to fruition with the latest update for the app.
Feedly is now powered by its very own cloud-based backend service and is no longer completely dependent on Google Reader, which will be shuttered by the end of this month.
“Let’s all wish a happy retirement to Google Reader,” the DevHD team said in a statement regarding the new Feedly update.
You can continue to use Feedly with your Google Reader account, but rest assured that Feedly itself will, with luck, live long and prosper even after Google Reader’s demise.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, the new version of Feedly is available now in the App Store for free. In the coming weeks, expect to enjoy Feedly integration in a number of other news aggregation apps, including Reeder and Newsify.
