You can add subscriptions directly on the device in a multitude of ways:

  • Simply enter the URL of a website. Newsstand automatically detects embedded feeds and presents them in a convenient selection.
  • Import the subscription list from any Bloglines account or OPML file on the web. Most desktop and online newsreaders can export their subscription list into the OPML format.
  • Find and subscribe to interesting feeds with the integrated Bloglines search.

Newsstand has full support for hierarchical organization of feeds in folders. Imported subscription lists retain their folder structure and you can also reorganize them easily.

The display of articles is customizable with several integrated themes to match your preferred font size and colors. With the mini browser, you can read a news item's original website directly within the application.

Articles can be shared by simply sending the text and a link through the iPhone's Mail application or by posting to the social bookmark service delicious.com. This is also useful if you wish to continue reading on your Mac or PC.
