Beautiful
I have just started using Otter and love it. After Google dropped its RSS Reader, this is the first one I have really liked. Adding feeds is a breeze. If I can’t find the RSS Feed URL I can paste the webpage URL and Otter can detect the feed URL if available. Categorization is a breeze. And the simple aesthetics are so good that I will now have to buy a Scandinavian home to go with it. Well done developers.Show lessIgne Natura Renova

Hope to support adding an RSS service account like Feedly🤗Raj Ryo
Frustrated
It doesn’t function well, articles show up in duplicated often, articles had been marked as read will show up again as unread. Tried Uninstall-reinstall didn’t do anything. Urh!Thewuxiaojie.
Better than okayest!
It does what it says on the tin: it reads RSS feeds. Other features are strictly in service of that core function. No accounts, no suggested or “curated ;)“ content. It doesn’t send me emails, or even ask for my email. This is what I’m after in an RSS reader.
But! It syncs to iCloud so I can read stuff across devices without thinking about it! It loads full articles without fussing with subscriptions and nonsense! It supports reader view! These things all serve to enhance the feed-reading experience without demanding your attention or getting in your way.
Two small features I’d like to see: an option to default to reader-view and swipe to mark as read. The app is great without those things, but I’d appreciate them.Show lessGalacticHero13

Thank you so much for the kind review! The "default to reader view" was a bug in one of the versions 😔 That should be fixed now along with the addition of "swipe to mark as read". Happy Ottering!Need offline articles
please download the entire article for offline viewing! I only go online rarely..justinjoylife

Proof free does not mean inferior
I've seen many RSS apps over the decades and this one nails the most important features people use RSS for while looking sleek and clean and syncing across devices.hdofu

Thank you for the great review! Your words are exactly why I made this. Makes me happy that you saw that 🥰Very good so far
This looks like a very good app and it's pretty easy to understand. Then again I've been using computers since the mid to late 80s, so there ya go. But still.... this IS easy!!
This app works for me. I use it for the news sources I have, because I don't want to pollute my other RSS app with politics. I think we all need a break from politics from time to time, don't you?
I would like this app to have two choices for when people open it up: 1- That the sidebar showing each news feed under it's own grouping is open upon opening the app and 2- in addition, to keep it's current setting.
I like to have, say, all my ABC articles under one tab, all my DEF articles in another tab. I do not prefer the way it currently is, where I have to manually open the sidebar.
Otherwise, this app is very simple and very easy. Also, I didn't check before leaving this review, and I can't close this review to go look, but what I would like to have is the ability to save individual articles in reader mode (no ads, just text) onto PDF. I also would like to have a favorites folder, organized by site, to store monumental articles.Show lessShameShameShimmy

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to get back to this review. Life took over and I've been working on a new version (1.2.0) which has a lot of user feedback and is waiting for review right now. "1- That the sidebar showing each news feed under it's own grouping is open upon opening the app and 2- in addition, to keep it's current setting." 👈 These are coming! Some of these are a limitation in my early design decision (since I originally made this app just for me) so I'm slowly reworking these things! Reader mode and folder organization is also coming in the future as well!Doesn’t try to be too much
Minimal, svelte, and basic in the best way.JoshJ821
