About

Byline Reader is a freemium, proprietary mobile application developed in the United Kingdom, accessible via its official website at http://www.phantomfish.com/byline.html and maintaining a presence on Twitter. Designed for iPhone and iPad, it allows users to read the latest news from their favorite sites and blogs, even when offline, supporting Atom feeds. Key features include offline reading, Feedly client integration, and the ability for users to suggest and vote on new functionalities. Active by at least 2009, as evidenced by a user review from October 23, 2009, the application was noted for its utility but also criticized for lacking tagging capabilities and not keeping pace with the social features offered by competitors like Google Reader.
