Digg Updates Its iOS App to Include Its New Google Reader Replacement

Digg has updated its iOS app to include its replacement for the soon to be retired Google Reader, the new Digg Reader. The updated app can import your feeds directly from Google Reader, so you got that going for you… Which is nice.

From The Digg iOS App Store page:

◆ Introducing Digg Reader! Subscribe to your favorite blogs and publishers
◆ Seamlessly import all of your Google Reader feeds and folders into Digg
◆ Digg your favorite stories and share them via Facebook, Twitter, email and text 
◆ Save stories to Digg, Instapaper, and Pocket
◆ “Paperboy” — set Digg to automatically download the latest stories whenever you leave home 
◆ VoiceOver support for the blind and visually impaired

What’s New in Version 5.0

  • Introducing Digg Reader! Read the latest articles from your favorite publishers and blogs
  • Seamlessly import all of your Google Reader feeds and folders into Digg

A number of RSS feed readers have appeared since Google announced it would be shutting down Google Reader on July 1st, and we can certainly expect to see more in the coming days.

If you’d like to try out the updated Digg app for the iPad and iPhone, it’s available FREE in the App Store. [DIRECT LINK]
