Lots of potential - free version too bare bones.

Would be really nice if the free version had some slighly extended functionality. Not paying the monthly fee. I'd be cool with a one-time free. Will continute looking elsewhere.

Works with ttrss

But is a bit too simple. Lacks support for a lot of ttrss functionality like labels and filtered views. Also needs a pull up to mark as read. Default to source article per feed would also be great, but double tap is ok for now.

Would give 5 stars for just this as the app is prettty decent as is. Really appreciate it offers a lifetime purchase option unlike all other apps like fiery feeds. Iโ€™m not looking to have a payroll for developers. Pay once and then for upgrades as needed is better. If youโ€™ve got good stuff in an upgrade Iโ€™ll pay. If not why would I?

Almost

The new version of this software is aesthetically and functionally more closely aligned to the look and feel of iOS, but the previous MacOS version had certain features (specificaly, the ability to search through feeds and to create smart serarch folders) that, unless I am missing something, are no longer avialable with 3.x.

I would hope that this feature in particular could be easily re-intrduced.

Clean, simple RSS reader

It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well!

Big fan

Really loving the universal app - upgraded from the last version so I could use it.

Very confusing to use

I found this in an App Store feature article, and I was wondering if it was a good alternative to NetNewsWire.

But it's actually very confusing to set up;
the settings don't make sense because I don't know which ones are where;
the big text and images take up space and feel like they distract from finding and reading the articles;
and switching to viewing only unread articles hides my RSS sources, which doesn't make sense.
It's also annoying that a basic feature like importing from an OPML file is locked behind a paywall.

Best to stick with NetNewsWire.

Older version far superior

Version 2 had a much crisper interface on macOS, but main feature lost for me is smart folders, until thery're back version 3 is kind of not that much useโ€ฆ

Not as good as the Mac version

Iโ€™ve subscribed but mainly for the outstanding Mac version. This iOS version feels limited and sluggish compared to an alternative universal RSS reader. Needs many more customisation options and faster swiping before it becomes my favourite on this platform.

The Best Reader App

I love ReadKit. The developer is great and this latest cross-platform version looks better, functions better, and is in every way better than all competing apps, even those from big development teams. Unlike those other apps you will find no ads here and no one is stealing and selling your data. Plus ReadKit works with more apps and platforms than those other companies and more seamlessly. It's hard to make an app this robust feel this simple. The free version is generous and the subscription prices are fair and with all the extra features you get paying a little for something you will use this much is well worth the upgrade. I donโ€™t write a lot of reviews but when you find an app you love this much, you want to share it with others.
