An Otter RSS Reader User Reviews

Works well on Big Sur

I have been using Otter RSS on my Iphone and Ipad for a little while. Just installed on my desktop through the Appstore and all of my articles were synced perfectly from where I had left off. Same great interface and smooth operation. Excellent software!

Crap App

Load RSS feeds.
Close App.
Re-open.
NONE of my feeds appear.

Properly functional RSS

This app modernizes the RSS experience while respecting the minimal philosophy of RSS enthusiasts. I am very pleased with the app and its widgets.

Response from developer

Thank you for the nice review and kind words! Will be releasing a version 2.0 here soon that will have more improvements and more widgets so stay on the lookout for that ๐Ÿ˜Š

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 canโ€™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.

Thank you thank you for the great review and kind words! Good luck buying that Scandinavian home ๐Ÿ˜‰

Account Support

Hope to support adding an RSS service account like Feedly๐Ÿค—

Love it!

A simple, to the point rss reader does the job I need, which is all my feeds in one place, and does the job very very well.
Super simple to import, has folders if needed and checks the link will work before allowing it to be added.

Great piece of software!

Response from developer

Thank you thank you for the kind review ๐Ÿฅฐ Glad its working well for you!

Frustrated

It doesnโ€™t function well, articles show up in duplicated often, articles had been marked as read will show up again as unread. Tried Uninstall-reinstall didnโ€™t do anything. Urh!

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 โ€œcurated ;)โ€œ content. It doesnโ€™t send me emails, or even ask for my email. This is what Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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 Iโ€™d appreciate them.

Thank you so much for the kind review! The "default to reader view" was a bug in one of the versions ๐Ÿ˜” That should be fixed now along with the addition of "swipe to mark as read". Happy Ottering!

Need offline articles
