Thanks for your feedback, we have just released an app update that includes a search feature in the Discover tab. Please give it a try and let us know what you think of it.

Very useful

Very useful app. Has allowed me to clean up my regular email account, and provides a separate, single location where I can access all my subscribed newsletters.

Unreported truths

Great

Waste of time

This might work for some, but the options are so limited, it isnโ€™t worth it.

Simple perfect

This is exactly the app Iโ€™ve been looking for. I have tried others and they try so hard to come up with new ways to organize and manipulate my newsletters in a way that doesnโ€™t feel natural.

Iโ€™m a simple person, and all I was looking for was an app to read my newsletters without messing up my email inbox. This is exactly what I wanted.

This app IDs a joke

I signed up paid the $9.99 and cannot access or sign up for the newsletter I want. This should not be so difficult. I signed up with Apple and get a blank screen. If I donโ€™t get help in 24 hours I will request a refund. Iโ€™m giving one star but actually is 0 star

Response from developer

Hi Vikjonene, I'm so sorry you're experiencing issues with the app. Please ask Apple for a refund if you haven't done so yet, and also, please reach out at contact@newsletterss.com so we can fix your account and provide a free one year subscription in compensation for the inconvenience.

Exactly what I wanted

Very simple and clean ui

What Iโ€™ve been looking for

This is the exact app Iโ€™ve been looking for to manage newsletter subscriptions. The app is clean and does what it says: keeps newsletters out of your email inbox. I appreciate that it has a web viewer for desktop. I have it 4 stars because I think the app needs two things: 1) the option to turn on a badge for unread count, and 2) some bug fixes on feed refresh - I seem to have to manually pull to refresh the inbox even after opening from a notification about a new item. I think if these two items were implemented Iโ€™d become a paid user.

UPDATE: Wow - the developer quickly implemented the unread badge, and I happily subscribed to the annual Premium tier! I think the app could still auto-refresh the Inbox when it enters the foreground, but otherwise this app is great!

Thanks for your feedback and using our app! Version 1.5 was just released with support for notification badges and some feed improvements. Our feed fully supports the pull down to refresh gesture, which comes in very handy if you want to get your most recent newsletters without leaving the app.

Very limited choices

I cannot search for substack, worse is that you cannot search at all. It only allows the newssources it gives you, all corporate-industrial sources.

You cannot create an account without linking to an Apple or Google ID, so no privacy.

Response from developer

Thanks for your suggestion on expanding out catalog and making it searchable, unfortunately, we can't include substacks in it because of Apple's App Store Review policies. Regarding login, we chose to go with Apple and Google precisely because they're more secure and private mechanisms for login in, and not only that, they are simpler and reduce the friction for users.ย  With Apple login we don't know what's your e-mail, name or even your avatar and you can dissociate your connection with a website at any time. I highly recommend this mechanism for navigating online.

Simple and fast

This app is like a hidden treasure. Perfect for separating my personal inbox from the newsletters I love.

I get push notifications and can easily archive one or many items from each newsletter subscription. You get a unique @newsletterss email and there is an RSS feed you can use to integrate your content into your RSS reader app.

Thanks for this app!
