Mr. Reader for iPad Updated, Multiple Accounts Support and Lots More

Mr. Reader, the Google Reader / RSS app for iPad, has had a recent update – to Version 1.9.

This is a jam-packed update, with a ton of new features and enhancements to the app. These are a couple of the new features that I found most interesting:

— Support for multiple Google Reader accounts.

— Ability to define templates for connected apps and services in the app’s settings – including Twitter, OmniFocus and Things.

Here’s the (very) full change list for this update:

[NEW FEATURES]
