Introducing Spout, the newest way to enjoy news, messages, tweets and comments; delivered to your screen as a beautifully rendered up-to-the-second display of social content.

Instead of spending hours scouring the web, simply turn on the Spout sit back and enjoy a steady stream of information specifically meant for you! Relax as a veritable flood of news, messages, tweets and comments pour forth from your Facebook, Twitter, or Google Reader (RSS) feeds.

Words spill onto your device, swirling, twisting, and scrolling across your screen, pooling in the centre momentarily, like a leaf on a pond, before being whisked away as new social messages pour in. Then, poke the surface and a built-in web browser takes you up-stream to the source, without leaving the tranquil and hypnotic Spout app.

Clean, crisp, and fresh, Spout will satisfy anyone with a thirst for the best in passive social reading experiences.

Pros and cons of Spout app for iPhone and iPad

Spout app good for

Awesome app totally different. Can there be settings to stop the wave effect after the build up?. Found it annoying. Great work!
This app is great. An absolutely beautiful way to stay up to date on my social networks and news. The reason I cant give it 5 stars is that the omission of portrait view is a huge oversite. I want to have this running while in my dock at my desk. Please fix this. Otherwise perfect. 
Theres a bug though: on all articles it says "one year ago" instead of the real posted date or time. Love that its universal, please add portrait view! Good work!
By only displaying one item at a time it pretty much guarantees to never be the most useful RSS reader out there, but god damn I just cant stop watching it go!
Cant stop looking at it too Pls fix the twitter time stamp though as all posts are 1 year old for me too.
Very happy with this, check out the video to see exactly what your in for. Also no weird date bug for me. Timed are showing correct. Cant wait to see some updates

Some bad moments

This is a great looking app but it is far from functional. Other apps out there have the same idea but execute much better.
This is the biggest waste of 99 cents Ive spent my hard earned cash on in a while, completely ridiculous
I really want to like this app, but it drives me insane. My version crashes constantly and at random with no warning. There is news only at every second screen or less, and it repeats the same thing over and over. With some serious updates this could become a useable app.
Who on earth would want to sit and watch as, word by word, each tweet and status update takes at least 5 seconds to finally appear on the screen in full, swirling around and zooming in and out in a migraine-inducing fashion? Its completely unreadable! And just as the text finally settles down, it disappears and the whole horror show starts again on another tweet! Absolutely awful. Im REALLY annoyed I spent money on this.
I downloaded again Spout on my iPhone6 after a long time, it says “There are currently NO MESSAGES” even if my Facebook profile is connected. This is a very nice app please update!
Its usually an AMAZING app..but lately its been crashing on me! You guys really need to update it! Me & my friend want to make more Spouts! & It crahes EVERY time. /:
