The app is beautiful, but...
Why am I been forced to choose between light and dark mode? I normally read with a sepia background. I am willing to pay for the lifetime subscription. Can you please consider adding more options in this regard?
RSS, reading curated by you
ReadKit is the simplest way to keep up with the blogs and websites that interest you without subscribing to dozens of newsletter. ReadKit is ad-free and has a simple UI. It’s a pleasure to use. It even pulls in all the articles I have saved in Pocket. It also features several subscription levels. All are quite reasonable.
Highly recommended for all fans of RSS.

Developer unresponsive
Good alternative to Newsify and Reeder but with need for some minor fixes: 1. Reading and article doesn’t mark it as read and there is no gesture to mark all as read (eg, swiping down) 2. Background sync is random; many times it doesn’t happen for a long interval and it’s as if the app updates when it decides to. The Mac version can specify the sync interval so why can’t the iOS version? 3. Embedded tweets don’t display in the web view I’ve reached out to the developer multiple times and have never heard back. The main advantage of this over Newsify (which has some advantages) is the seemingly built-in content blocker support that fixes some problematic ads on various sites.
ADDENDUM: I deleted the app. Never ever got any response from the developer and there were too many bugs on iPadOS and iOS (different bugs on each OS) and I’d rather use an app like Newsify that is well supported and works well.

One of the Best Reader Apps
I love it, works perfectly, and appreciate the fact that can buy 1 app and works on ipad/iphone/mac. Not greedy at all, which is very nice.
One thing i noticed, would be amazing if the smart folders can be sync to all devices under the profile, currently i've to create these on each device.

ReadKit
I love this because of my school. It brings a lot to the table.
A great RSS reader
I migrated to Readkit from Reader 5 and personally enjoyed the speed of fetching and the inclusion of more themes and customization. I would make Readkit my rss reader full time if there was support for syncing feeds via iCloud. This is a big cost saver as many rss syncing services charge a yearly fee. For now, I'm going back to Reader.

Potential
I think this has the potential to be the best RSS Reader out there....But...In order to read the entire article withi the app, you have to pay for the premium features. Ok, that's fine. But when I did the free trial, and then attempted to read the enire article within the app, it only brought in the top 1/8th of the article for numerous feeds. It's a shame.

Great app, zero support
In my experience, the developer is unlikely to respond to support requests or feedback. I've used the app off and on since its earlier days, with the glasses and newspaper icon.
Also, it's great that the app can act as a Pinboard client, but it doesn't use Pinboard's recommended API key for logging in, and hasn't responded to requests for including that as an option.

Version 3.1.1: OK reader app and how to make it better
NOTE: This review is about the free version.
PROS:
Support for dark mode, which is easier on the eyes.
Regular updates to squash bugs and improve the app.
HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER:
Allow us to import our feeds from another reader without upgrading to Premium - I ain’t importing all my feeds manually.
If you want us to pay for Premium, it would help if the app showed us the prices.
CONCLUSION:
An OK RSS app - but if you want us to use the free version enough to consider upgrading to premium, add the option to import our feeds.
If you liked this review, please mark it as “helpful.”
