The newest version of the Feedly reader app recently launched for the iPad and Android tablets, and brings with it some competitive features that may give the app a chance against big guns Flipboard and Zite.

Within the application, content is already curated into a folder called Essentials, where users can browse through various news sources or by type of news. The user also has the option to sign in with a Feedly account, or using Google credentials, which will bring the user’s Google Reader into the mix. The application comes with both white and black themes, and users can easily scroll through source pages, and stories within a source’s page, by swiping left and right.

The only real drawback I can find with this application is that it does not support landscape mode, at least not on the iPad 2, which I find to be a necessity when web surfing, or reading articles. Overall, the app has a nice look and feel to it, and as a free download, it’s certainly worth checking out.
