2. Minimal Reader

If you use RSS feeds anywhere near as much as we do, you’ll love Minimal Reader. It can automatically pull a set number of RSS stories every time you connect to Wi-Fi, meaning you’re always up to date with the latest news even if you aren’t online. It comes with a customisable homescreen widget, and it looks gorgeous too, even if you opt for the free version rather than splash out 69p for Pro.

1. INSTAPAPER

If you’ve ever been reading a long article online wish you could save it to read it properly later, Instapaper is the app for you. From Chrome for Android’s menu, you can select Share, Instapaper to mark an article for offline reading.

Instapaper strips out everything bar the text and graphics, giving articles you’re interested in a magazine feel. All articles you mark as favourite are synced with the Instapaper online account, but you can store up to 500 articles directly on your device, and even organise them into folders.

It costs £1.93 for the full app, but given the extra content it can give you for reading offline it’s an essential for a device like the Google Nexus 7.
