Pulse News Reader – the popular app that has a new take on news reading on the iPad – has become a free app. The developers have got venture capital funding, so this should be a permanent move to free, though it may be ad-supported in future.

The app is well-known and well-liked for its graphics-heavy, magazine style approach to following your RSS news feeds. I’ve tried the app and like some of its approach, but the limited number of feeds supported is a stumbling block for me.

You can find Pulse News Reader in the App Store now, with its new ‘Free’ price tag.
