Our verdict on Across
Across brings RSS sources together in one feed, with custom views for organizing topics or source collections. Readers can filter by unread, today, and yesterday, search article text, save stories, and track reading history. On Android, it also offers cached offline reading, AI-powered summaries, and audio-style briefings from selected feeds. That combination suits people who choose their own RSS sources and want a more organized way to keep up with them, rather than readers looking for a broad, publisher-curated news app.
The core appeal is the range of reading tools around RSS. Full-text search helps locate articles beyond the current feed, while custom views separate interests or source groups. Offline access applies to cached stories and opened articles, so it is useful for revisiting content already available in the app. Summaries and briefings add quicker ways to catch up, though they remain tied to selected RSS feeds. Across is listed for Android and web; the vendor says an iOS version is in the works, but it is not currently listed as an available platform. Readers who depend on iOS should wait or consider an alternative.
Across is a paid product, and Google Play lists in-app purchases, but the vendor has no public pricing page or amounts. That makes it difficult to compare its cost with other RSS readers before committing. The vendor offers email support, and the product lists GDPR compliance. Its narrower RSS focus and Android-centered mobile experience make it a better fit for solo readers and small-scale use than for teams seeking collaboration or a wider news ecosystem. Choose Across if RSS organization, offline access, and summary or audio-style catch-up matter most; look elsewhere if transparent pricing, iOS availability, or non-RSS news discovery is essential.
