Reviews of Elytra

  • Not Private

    They’ve mentioned “private” and “privacy” so many times in the app description, and yet the app collects data according to the privacy label. That all one needs to know about how well this app will work.

    Developer Response

    Hello, please note that the required data collected is only sufficient for syncing your data. It is in no way linked to your personal data. No personal data is collected from you to begin with. Hence, I can assert that the privacy labels, when read in context, are correct. Please refer to the app’s privacy policy for more details. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to respond to them, please email me at support@elytra.app.
  • Can’t use. Stole my money.

    This app has not worked since the day after I downloaded it. How can you keep updating the app and not fix the crashing and bugs
  • Poor developer but great design

    The dev is awful for shipping and then charging for an app that has so much bugs. I would not even advise you try your luck to see if the app would work for you, instead take a look at reeder as they are much more polished.
