Readit is a Universal App template that works similarly to reddit.com website, you can login/sign up for an account and post links to the news you want, vote and share them on social networks or email, and also comment them. Your account screen includes the list of your posts and the saved ones (you can only save news from other users since your own ones will be automatically added to your account’s page).
You should also daily check your Parse Dashboard for reported News or Comments and take actions for them.
Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO PHP files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
Readit is a native XCode project, Swift language, super easy to customize, Universal, Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com

How to remove AdMob banner ads
Check this video out to see how to remove the code that shows AdMob banners: https://youtu.be/e-HQYnta2JgKeep in mind that you must repeat the shown steps for every .swift file that contains this line on the top:
import GoogleMobileAds
What about free support for this template?
I can offer free support for bugs encountered in the original code.
Instead, if you’ve edited the code and messed something up with it, I may apply some fee to fix it either via TeamViewer or by checking your app project files directly on my computer.
Should I use the latest version of Xcode to edit this template?
Yes, I always update my apps to the latest version of the IDE.
