Feedly vs MAPS.ME

Feedly has an easy to overview interface. While this interface is clean and simple, it is still full of bright colors.

A great feature that adds to the clean feel is "eliminate clutter", which keeps only the text of the desired topic.

Feedly sign-in is done with Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Microsoft credentials. It offers many ways to share a story from within the application, including social networks, e-mail, etc.

For each news source, a different layout can be chosen. Choose between showing thumbnails, titles and summaries, titles only, thumbnails with overlaid titles in a grid, or have all content inlined.

Search a topic and Feedly will offer resources that are related to that topic.

With this feature, all subscriptions can be saved.

Feedly allows you to create unlimited Boards (folders/sets/collections) and use them to organise your saved content.

Feedly functionality can be extended and workflows automated with IFTTT and Zapier integrations that make it possible to connect the reader with hundreds of popular apps.

That saves a lot of download, e.g. from ~500MB in other applications it is reduced to ~50MB for German surroundings.

Users without a data connection can still use the app for turn by turn directions, which is great for those that travel or use a device that does not have a cellular data connection.

MAPS.ME uses data from OpenStreetMap, meaning the data retrieved from that service is a community-based map. Anyone can freely edit and contribute to the map, a map concept that is similar to Wikipedia.
