Leave a Review Feedly Classic
  • Absolutely love it when they give the option...

    So many software developers seen to be striving to fix what ain't broken. I've given up on several sites after they "improved" them. But it is refreshing when developers give the option not to move to their new "baby". I tried the new Feedly and it just doesn't work for me; I was about to abandon Feedly where I saw they provided the option to continue with what is essentially the old version. Perfect! Hope they continue to support this version, and is so wish other developers would adopt this technique.

  • Classic far superior to “new” Feedly

    Every single aspect of the new Feedly is annoying. PLEASE don’t change anything about the classic!!!

    ... except maybe make it a few steps easier/faster to toggle light/dark modes.
  • Much better

    This one should be coloured in green and the other one grey - this version is so much easier to use and it works as intended! The other one isn’t good at all. I’m happy they did the right thing and put up this legacy version for us.
  • New app is broken

    Had to switch to this app after latest Feedly update. It totally broke the app - now when i read part of the article and switch to other apps, new Feedly marks the article as read, and I have to search for it in history. Thank god they have the option to use an old app, but the grey icon is horrible. It was easy to find the green icon, now I just can’t find it in a folder.

  • Better than the new one

    Definitely better. Smoother. Hasn't got bright white text in dark mode like the new one. Scrolls properly. The list goes on ...
  • Better than the new version for sure

    However there’s something wrong with both apps - marking all as read doesn’t mark all as read, just a subset. If you refresh or open the app again, there’s new (but older) unread articles. Odd.
  • Thanks but bummer I have to re-enter my sources

    I really appreciate you keeping the old version. This one is so much easier to use. I just quickly swipe to move on. The new one makes me swipe and scroll, which is twice as many actions (how is that more efficient?) and is more difficult to do one-handed. I used to blast through my articles and now it's scroll. Scroll. Scroll.

  • Can’t login using twitter?

    Don’t like new Feedly, would prefer if devs (actually marketers) would leave interfaces that work alone!

    Paid for a year of Feedly pro, maybe two years, cost around $45/year if memory serves, ie not averse to paying for good software.

    The Twitter method of logging is in now grayed out. I’m not logging in using Facebook or google (tracking...)

    Maybe the twitter disabled is a glitch and it’ll get sorted out, otherwise I’ll be looking for a new reader.

  • Has a built in browser and pagination

    Bring these to the new app and I’ll be there.
  • If it’s not broken...

    Sometimes change for the sake of change does not advance the cause. In this case, Feedly was already quite good and the decision to ‘update’ turned out to be a step backward.

    Thank you for giving us Feedly Classic - even with the included insult about ‘old habits.’ Maybe the developers should take some of this feedback to heart.
