- How much does Newsbin cost?
- Newsbin is free to try. When you're ready, unlock everything with a one-time Lifetime purchase or an optional monthly subscription — whichever you prefer. Either way there's no lock-in: your feeds can be exported anytime.
- Does Newsbin support services like Feedly or FeedWrangler?
- Newsbin syncs through your own iCloud account — seamless, secure, and with no third-party account required. Syncing this way also enables features like Tags and Blocklists that integrate deeply with your data.
- Does Newsbin support full articles?
- Yes — full articles are first-class in Newsbin. When a feed includes full content it's rendered beautifully right in the app, and the built-in reader mode loads complete, distraction-free stories — including audio, video, and rich embeds — with no snippets and no bouncing out to a browser.
- Does Newsbin include a Safari extension?
- Yes — Newsbin ships with a Safari extension for adding feeds while you browse. Spot a site you like, tap the extension, and it lands in your Followed list — no copying URLs around.
- How do I get my feeds into Newsbin?
- Importing your feeds is simple — just select your OPML file from the settings page or welcome screen. Groups become smart groups, and your feeds appear in the Followed section.
How to export an OPML file from your current reader:
- Can I export my feeds from Newsbin?
- Yes — you can export your feeds directly from the settings page at any time. No lock-in is a core principle: your subscriptions are always portable.
- Why is syncing slow the first time I use Newsbin?
- Newsbin uses Apple's SwiftData database, which relies on iCloud to sync your content. Like iCloud Photos, it may take some time for everything to appear across devices. To speed things up, you can manually export your database from one device and import it into another — iCloud handles the rest.
- How do I use Newsbin on Apple Watch?
- Newsbin's Apple Watch app requires an iPhone to function. Once you've set up the app on your iPhone, your content will automatically sync to your Apple Watch.
- Do I need to purchase Newsbin for each device?
- No — Newsbin is a universal app. One unlock (Lifetime or subscription) gives you full access on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. No per-device charges.
