After launching a private beta of its new Google Reader replacement, Digg announced today that it is now rolling out the beta to all users signed up to test the new app. Digg just sent out the first batch of invites to the new web app, but promises it will be “adding users in increasingly larger batches.”
The app is still a work in progress and won’t get you every feature you might have had with Google Reader, but for now you can easily import your Google Reader content, use Google Reader-like shortcuts, and save and share to all the usual third-party services.
iOS versions of Digg Reader land for iPhone and iPad in the App Store sometime today, and Digg says an Android app will be available before the end of July.
Update: The iOS version is now available.
Digg warns that the app is still very much in beta, but reminds us of a few features it plans to add in the coming months:
- Search
- Android app (before end of July)
- Additional options like “View Only Unread” and “Mark As Unread”
- Useful ways to rank and sort your posts and stories, such as (1) by popularity within your social networks, (2) by interestingness to you, and (3) by article length
- Better tools for organizing feeds and folders, as well as support for tagging
- More options for sharing and sending (e.g., to LinkedIn, Google+, WordPress, Tumblr, Squarespace, Evernote, Dropbox, Buffer), and integration of IFTTT functions
- Browser extension and/or bookmarklet
- Ability to import and export your data
- Uber for cronuts
