Drudge Feed gathers all the headlines and images from the Drudge Report for your reading pleasure in an easy to navigate list.

You can choose to view the headlines in multiple modes: all stories, unread stories, stories by column (Main/Top Headlines, First, Second, or Third), favorites, and saved for later.

Headlines tagged as an alert will display in their native color: red or blue.

Removing a headline from the list is as simple as swiping its row and touching the "Trash" button.

The Drudge Feed headlines listing supports your devices Dynamic Type setting when displaying font sizes. Simply go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Text.

Once you select an article, you can choose to view it in a native browser format or using Readability text view.

From either the headlines list view or either of the two article views, you can mark an article as a favorite or save it for later. In either case, when your list is refreshed, you will still be able to access the article even after it has been removed from the Drudge website.

Both the headlines view and either of the article views give you the option to view the story in a browser.

You can also mark an article as either "Read" or "Unread."

Preferences let you customize several of the features. The preferences menu also lets you email your comments, suggestions, and other feedback directly to us.

Sharing articles is fully supported when viewing a story from either the web view or the text view without any additional fees! Social media sites, such as FaceBook and Twitter, or other services such as EverNote, are available.

Drudge Feed supports "pull to refresh", refresh on launch or becoming active, and periodic background refresh in order to keep you up to date with the latest headlines.

Enabling Notifications allows you to receive badge alerts whenever an important (red or blue) headline is available.

+ No advertising banners.
+ Earlier updates featuring enhancements and new functionality.*
+ Split views option for iPhone 5, 5s, and 6.
+ iPad native format.

* (Bug fixes will always be released in tandem for both the paid and free versions.)
