An RSS reader with no timeline: half-fold the Duo and an article reads like a book
Does Scoopy: News Reader and Icebox work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, since version 1.0 on October 19, 2026, and seen in a simulator recording: half-folded, an article is cut into pages on the left and right that you swipe through.
- Simulator verifiedDan at Basement Softworks, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 21, 2026. The developer's YouTube video "iPhone Duo App Demo: FINALLY in the simulator" (October 7, 2026) shows the app running in the iPhone Duo simulator. The App Store description of version 1.0 (released October 19, 2026) says Scoopy fully supports the iPhone Duo, with a new way to read articles in Book Mode.

- Open · Inner display
Headlines across the display
Open, the headlines spread across the whole display, so you can pick the story that catches your eye.

Icons down the side

About Scoopy: News Reader and Icebox
Scoopy is a news reader, powered by RSS, that does things differently: no infinite scroll, no ads and no timeline. You choose your sources, from news sites to Mastodon, Bluesky, YouTube channels and playlists, and podcasts, and every refresh shuffles them like a music player. It favors discovery over reaching inbox zero, and stories you want to keep go in the Icebox. It’s free to try, with paid plans for more control.
Scoopy came out on October 19, 2026 with full iPhone Duo support. Closed, the icons move to the bar down the side. Open, the headlines spread across the display. Open an article and half-fold the phone into book mode, and the article becomes pages on the left and right that you swipe through.

· Simulator recording reviewed
Simulator verified · iphone-duo
Checked the developer's six-minute video, titled as a demo in the simulator: the cover, with the camera hole and status ring, showing the top story, the Icebox and an article beside a side bar of icons, and the open and half-folded layouts, with an article's photo and headline facing its text.
Poses shown: Closed, Open, Book. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
The video predates version 1.0 on the App Store by twelve days, and much of it is the developer talking. No Xcode version is given, and no build was tested.
