  1. Kevin Doyle says:

    I have yet to find that killer RSS reader for the iPad - I love the idea of a magazine layout approach. Plus the offline reading would make it a great when flying.

  2. Steve Gary says:

    I love Rss feeds and the iBooks look with a shelf for my feeds will rock

  3. Timppa says:

    Still looking for the perfect RSS reader...Blogshelf would be a great addition to my ipad right next to Reeder & Early Edition

  4. Johnny H. says:

    Always in search of a good/better RSS reader! Would be great to give Blogshelf a try. Thanks!

  5. Dionte says:

    I'd just like to be able to read them all from one place, like a unified email box

  6. zeagus says:

    I just love any innovation that sets a good reader apart from the same old also ran crowd. The bookshelf seems like a fun metaphor and interesting departure from the normal boring list UI.

  7. Jeff S says:

    Like the others I am still in search of my ideal RSS reader, but personally I have held off spending $5 to try each one.

  8. Fábio says:

    I like very much the design of Blogshelf! It should be a great app for my iPad! :D

  9. Dyvim says:

    Still looking for a better iPad RSS Reader. Tried Pulse and Early Edition, but neither one is perfect for me.

  10. I am looking for something to beat out Reeder as the best of the best, I am sure this is not it, but I wouldn't mind trying something new out.

  11. Chad says:

    It would be great to add to my collection so I can compare it to Pulse, Newsrack and my new favorite Reeder.

  12. Michael H says:

    I love RSS feeds, actually they are they reason behind most of my purchases as well as providing a wealth of information. I would love this app.

  13. Joe says:

    Always looking for a better way to stay updated. Id love to give this app a gp

  14. Andy W says:

    Blogshelf's feature set looks great! Offline reading with images, full content at a glance without having to leave the reader, and a visual representation of all my feeds. All in a familiar iBooks-style interface. It appears to be a great reader. Now all I need is that iPad I have been itching for!

  15. Massimo Pignataro says:

    I am an avid blog reader! In particular I'm addicted to 5 blogs, including tipb.com, which I check for news at least 10 times a day. I basically transformed my iPad Safari in a Blogshelf! To avoid browsing my blogs links so many times a day a keep 5 Safari pages constantly logged to said blogs, only leaving the remaining 4 pages for other uses. I believe I deserve to win this app, since they must have had me in mind when they design it!

  16. Sarah Baker says:

    this is such an easy way to maintain and stay updated with yout daily blog reads. LOVE IT!!

  17. rob says:

    This is amazing. i am a young kid who has plenty of time on his hands trying to read many differnt blogs but it can become annoying haveing to go app to app website to website this is Perfect!!!!!!!!

  18. Misty says:

    I love the idea of this and the implementation fits right in with ibooks. Great idea. Too bad Apple didn't just include this as a feature in ibooks, but this is the next best thing.

  19. Thamer says:

    That app is exaclty what I need, cool layout, easy access and had really good reviews. Wold make reading blogs more enjoyable. Would love to have one!

  20. Luke says:

    I just bought an iPad and I read about 25 blogs a day! (including tipb!) this app would be perfect for me since I am loving my iPad!

  21. Jason says:

    Blogshelf looks to be an obsessive compulsive organizer's dream. I'd love it.

  22. Ray says:

    I'm always looking for a better RSS reader since it's my primary means of following what's new. Blogshelf looks great.

  23. Mike says:

    As a hobbyist woodworker that hopes to one day go pro, I follow more than a dozen woodworking related blogs. Having a reader like Blogshelf with its re-imagined book interface would be a huge timesaver for me and help me get more time in the shop working on my craft.

  24. sfguy says:

    So far all RSS readers (including Pulse) are either great in presentation but lacking in features, or vice-versa. Hopefully this one is better!

  25. Robert Lominski says:

    Would love to have this on my iPad!

  26. The Chaotic Buddhist says:

    My iPad has replaced my notebook as my portable and it is my media control center. I blog, tweet and read books and magazines in it as well. It is my eye on the world and this would be a great addition to my collection of apps I must have!

  27. Wes says:

    I'm addicted to RSS feeds, but more importantly I like free things! Like that iPhone 4 bumper I'm about to get...(?)

  28. mark m says:

    My google reader is overflowing. I need a fresh start and this visual one is just the ticket!

  29. Kyle Johnson says:

    I am looking to start getting into blogs via an app for my iPad. This would be awesome to get me rolling. Great site and review.

  30. Mike M says:

    I really haven't found an RSS reader for the iPad that I really love... hopefully this will be it!

  31. iM4cGirl says:

    Blogshelf for the iPad is the perfect app for me, I have a few blogs I try to keep up org and this app would not only do up 90 blogs but it gives me the iBookshelf which I love.

  32. Scott G. Lewis says:

    Oh man oh man oh man I want this one badly. Been on the fence about this, looks cool...

  33. sinby says:

    I need Blogshelf because I have a 13 month old daughter. Ok, they don't really have anything to do with each other than the fact that she won't leave me alone when I am using the iPad. I promise to read to her some blogs if I win ;-)

  34. Sopa says:

    I don't have an RSS reader yet for my iPad. I haven't actually found one that I prefer to use. Reeder is a good option but I've yet to buy one. Getting a chance of getting a great RSS reader free would be a huge help for me!

  35. Gameboy213 says:

    I'm still looking for that perfect rss reader for my iPad. I think this might be it!

  36. Ken says:

    I read too many blogs and rss feeds to keep them organized. Looks like this would fix that.

  37. christyxcore says:

    This app would help me keep a better track of a few blogs rather than the huge mess I have in Google Reader. I'll use it to read TiPB even more closely ;)

  38. Looks sharp! Would love to enter in giveaway, hope this comment is my entry.

  39. Vose says:

    I'm still looking for a rss reader for my iPad, wondring how this compares to pulse
