1.13.0 makes PoweReader easier to start, search, summarize, and keep organized. Discover is more useful, Article Summary is steadier, keyword extraction is more reliable, and large feed libraries take fewer steps to manage.

✨ Start From Discover

Daily Picks now lives where it belongs: in Discover. Open the app and PoweReader can turn today’s feeds into a few event stories, each with a cleaner detail page and related coverage from around the web when extra context helps.

It is still your RSS content, just shaped into something easier to understand at a glance.

🔎 Find Articles and Add Feeds Faster

Search now looks through saved article titles and article content, so it is easier to find something you read earlier.

The Feed Library is also closer to the main flow. It includes 131 curated RSS sources across 8 languages and 8 categories, with local search and direct subscription.

📝 Better Summary Generation

Article Summary and visual summaries now focus on better generation quality.

Article summaries and list summaries produce clearer results, and visual summaries generate better outputs.

🏷️ More Reliable Keyword Extraction

Keyword extraction is more reliable. Fewer eligible articles should be left without automatic keywords.

Generated keyword tags also keep a stable order in lists. That removes the small but annoying jitter you could see when selecting articles with extracted tags.

🗂️ Feed Management With Less Fuss

On macOS, drag feeds into categories. On iOS, use Move to Category from the menu. Multi-level categories now start collapsed on iOS, which makes large feed lists calmer to scan.

Category lists also load faster, especially when you have a lot of feeds.

🧭 Reading, Sync, and Interface Polish

• Category performance: large category lists load faster, especially with many feeds.
• Background updates: app background update logic has been optimized.
• Original pages: tap an article title to open the source page in Safari on iOS or your default browser on Mac.
• macOS detail column: Discover event details behave better in the third column and no longer disturb the selected article state.
• Reading details: article selection, event detail typography, onboarding, Premium screens, and multilingual copy all received targeted cleanup.
