Thumbs up
I like it a lot. Clean interface. Does as it’s supposed to do. Ad blocking support, great addition.
Pretty Good! Edit: Excellent now!
I don't really have much complaints apart from the app being pretty laggy on MacOS when you have multiple feeds in a page. This app is affordable and has all the basic features needed for an rss reader.
Edit 6/26/24: The app is no longer laggy on MacOS!

Almost perfect!
If you could make the article opening a little faster and not cause a flash and overall just appear seamless like NetNewsWire does, that’d be great. Apart from that, making the interface more intuitive and stable is about the end of my wish list. Great app 4/5! Edit: Update 1.24.0 has an issue where if you mark an article as read then hit refresh it would mark it unread.

Bug: unable to delete feed that had wrong URL
I don’t know if I entered the feed URL in wrong or their server is down, but I have a feed with a 403 forbidden error that is named “Untitled”. I am unable to find a way to delete the feed because with others you can click the arrow drop down to the right of the title and delete, but not this one

Thank you for reporting! A fix will be going out very soon. Until then, you could work around it by using the Organizer view to delete the bad feed.

Great visual take on RSS
So many feed readers have the familiar three-column interface like Mail.app. That kind of layout has never worked for me for RSS, and I prefer something more visual. Den has a grid view that shows the item, a summary and the feed icon; so at a glance i have all the info. I want front and center. It's a great app for anyone that prefers a more visual approach to feed reading.

You can easily see the potential but it crashes incessantly
IMPORTANT NOTE: This would be a 3 or 4 stars rating at minimum if the app was not repeatedly crashing. I will gladly update my review with additional stars when it is fixed.
The Good:
I love the layout of this app. I love that you can make custom pages and see so many RSS feeds and articles at once. I love the trends functionality. I like the history functionality and to be able to save it forever and the security feature is cool and unique as well, although I'm not sure what it does.
The Bad:
This app desperately needs bookmarking and tags. And more customizations and functionalities. I'm actually not even sure if it has bookmarking functionality or not, which leads me to my next point....
The Ugly:
This app crashes when you try to do most anything. It worked okay at first and after a minute or two just bombed and then wouldn't stop crashing virtually upon opening the app.

Great app, and thank you for the updates
Really nice iOS Mac news-reader!
I really like the "broadsheet" look of headlines grouped into little blocks across different sources, and that refreshing is a manual process so I can get a sense of "place" in what I've read so far.
It's simple, but elegant, and a great antidote to image-heavy infinite lists.
