一般的 RSS 阅读器大多是以「文字条列式」，然后多以白底黑字把您订阅的网站新闻条列出来，多半无法呈现原始网站版型，在新闻列表中也没有图片。

Pulse News Reader 软件一打开在一个画面马上就能看到所有订阅的网站，而且不止有新闻标题还有美美的图片，这样阅读新闻是不是比较过瘾呢？有时候眼睛酸了懒的一条一条看文字，或是有职业倦怠，这时候光看图片也能大概猜出是在讲什么内容。

Pulse在6月2日的itune排行榜上很出风头，不仅是付费排行榜的第一名，并且评价甚佳，在评分榜也排到了第二名。

Pulse出彩的地方有几点：

1、它将一成不变的RSS阅读器变成了丰富多彩的阅读感受，改变了阅读体验；

2、从1.1版本开始，它支持了google reader；

3、自带20个不错的新闻来源，而新闻源也未必需要完全满足RSS2.0标准，比较open
