The stories of Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp … or almost any other application that has been around for the last few years: you either love them, or you hate them. If you love them, you are in luck because now you can have them on virtually almost the page of your interest with the new RSS reader from the same creator of other interesting apps such as HyperZoom.
RSS readers are not very fashionable, with few exceptions that survive to this day, in part due to the proliferation of other types of ephemeral and shorter media such as stories. Stories Now brings it all together in one app, the present and the past: RSS feeds and stories.

An RSS reader in which everything is stories
We are in 2021 and u just launchedn new RSS reader for Android, a way to keep abreast of all the news from your favorite websites (also Xataka Android) which is more typical of a decade ago, but is still just as valid.
Its name is Stories Now and, as indicated, it is an RSS reader that shows the headlines, a fragment of the text and the photo of each article as a story from Instagram, so you can quickly switch between them with a strategic touch to the side of the screen.
The application is free, simple and somewhat limited in options for the moment, although functional. Its use is no different from any other RSS reader: first you need to add the sources and then you can check the headlines as a story. If you want to read a specific article, you will achieve it by swiping up, which will open the link in your header browser.
The effect is achieved, although it is more attractive when the RSS feed includes a photo and a piece of text, otherwise you simply have a succession of headlines in large text and with colors, but little else. Useful for those who want an RSS but want skim the news quickly.
