Leave a Review An Otter RSS Reader
  • You otter know …

    that Otter RSS is the best feed reader I’ve come across to date. The best part, you ask? … is that it’s free but is well deserving of the tip option it features.
  • Abandonware

    Hasn’t been updated in nearly half a year despite several bugs and lack of polish. Don’t waste your time.
  • Well designed and dang cute

    This app might be described as "okayest" but I certainly think it's great! It syncs well between my phone and computer, and has a good balance between a straightforward, easy-to-use interface and customization where I need it. Plus, the app name and design are clever and adorable. You can tell the developers put a lot of love and thought into this. I love it and use it every day!

  • pretty much perfect!

    I just needed an RSS reader that was free and functional, and it is all that and more. The app is well-designed, it's pretty and minimal, and most importantly it does the job I need it to do.

    As one of those "hey if it works, it works" kind of people, I appreciate that it's an app that was pretty much born out of necessity and keeps things simple, and maybe that's why it's truly such an A app. And it's got on otter on the front. More things in life should be cute. Wonderful, thanks a lot for this app, Josh!

  • Simple, Straightforward, Exactly what I needed

    I just wanted an RRS feed that would easily show me what's new in my feeds without any fuss, and it does.
  • Good app, still buggy

    Would be the perfect RSS app however several bugs prevent it from being completely functional. Pull-to-refresh breaks if you have too many feeds. Share sheet button doesn’t do anything on the article view. Restoring purchases doesn’t work. Would recommend adding icons to the feeds. If fixed would be perfect.

  • Clean, simple to use, with integration and extras included

    I haven't dug too much, but the fact you have a debug area for people to clean if they want is, to me at least very appreciated. I have two questions, but before that. One suggestion. Instead of having to have a setting default to switching the state to read when clicked, or doing it after you leave the view, maybe a button at the bottom such can be added to give you options to have it read, even delete it (If it's causing extra memory to be used that is, not sure how that works) if they no longer need it, but then have the extra options to move that certain post in case they will be using it again. Questions. Is it being implemented as a browser in the app that will have cookies and trackers latch on? Also, the serious one for now.. Why does it seem like every developer, or just I don't even know.. What is going on with Twitter?? Hahaha. Thanks!

    Not sure why it didn't paragraph my text.. I surely did, also an issue. I subscribed to the Otter and the indiedev, when I came to type that first review, I went back to the app and the feeds were gone. Like they got consumed after they were already consumed, haha.

  • Currently One Star

    After importing my feeds it worked well, once. Now I cannot get it to update my feeds at all. No matter what setting I use or adjustments I make.
    I contacted support, but I have heard nothing yet. I will update this review once I have heard back from them. Hopefully, there is a fix.
  • Glitchy/Buggy

    Still needs a proper polish of UX/UI
  • Best looking RSS reader

    Looks good and works well.

    I’m fairly new to RSS as well, but I was thinking of self hosting my own miniflux rss client. Miniflux implements the Fever API alongside its own REST API. I was wondering if I could get otter to connect to a Miniflux’s Fever API endpoint so I can stay synced across my self hosted client and otter?

    Let me know if it’s possible or you don’t see yourself adding too many features. Btw, I tipped you for your great work and congrats on your newborn (I was reading your blog post).
