Update ruins this app
I did like this app, but a recent update stopped syncing about 75% of my feeds. I already purchased this app, but it said I had to purchase it again to sync all my feeds. No thanks.bitGrok
Great Concept - Lacks Features
I really like the concept of this app... that is, seeing my RSS feeds sorted based on how frequently they’re updated (slow vs. high volume). But currently this app is so basic (and maybe that’s intentional) there's no way it'll be able to replace my full-featured RSS reader. I’m disappointed about this because I don’t want to have to use two separate RSS reader apps just so I can gain this unique kind of sorting ability. Put another way, I like what this app does, but it just doesn’t go far enough.
Some specific shortcomings (as I see them):
1. No user font or color choices. - The stock font colors are rather light and hard to read with tired / older eyes. The color differences between the read vs. unread article fonts is too subtle and I find it a bit hard to distinguish between the two at lower screen illumination levels.
2. There’s no ability to hide read articles in the high volume list. - Why does this matter? Well, let’s say you’ve got 300 articles. Only one is unread and for whatever reason it’s not at the top of the list. You’ll have to scroll through the entire list just to find that single unread article… which isn’t necessarily easy because of the subtle font color differences previously mentioned.
3. There’s no ability to sort a list (eg.: by alpha/numeric, by date, ascending/descending, etc.)
4. There’s no ability to adjust what defines a “slow” vs. “high volume” feed.
5. There’s no ability to group similar feeds together by something like a category or a folder.
6. No article read/unread counts anywhere.
7. No control over frequency of background feed refresh.
I’ll keep watching for improvements in this app and update this review as appropriate.Show lessgyropilot
Love the bomb
I dig the Strangelove reference, but the IAP Full Version is a little bit of a turn-offSoulkreig
Brillant update - big thanks from existing user
Since moving to Feedly, I've been eager to find an app that moves beyond its busy interface. Slowfeeds did that - successfully providing me zen when it comes to managing feeds. While I'm not partial to freemium models, that the developer automatically provides the full feature version to previous purchases is brilliantly executed. Although I'm at day 1 of the new update, I was compelled to highlight this new update and am excited about the possibility of using it as my sole goto solution for shaping good habits that are productive (check a website too much? Add it right into a feed in slowfeeds) and reliant (hotlinks).Show lessSaemi
Now freemium?
I bought the app, now update wants me to make an in-app purchase to rebuy it. Is that correct?Dan HF
Feedly support is awesome!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for adding Feedly support!!! This app keeps me from missing items from sources who post infrequently... it's a lifesaver!!!Amcclean
The worst
In 4 days (after 1st of july) I spent more than 20$ on RSS apps, this one is the worst among several apps!

Nice concept but very lacking
The description indicated a beautiful article view. I took that to mean a mobilized full article view but it just loads the website or mobile site in the built in browser. Needs a way to mobilize the article to live up to it's claim of beautiful article view.ansel4
Responsive Dev, Interesting app
It's a neat take on adders backed by a responsive developer. Enjoying this app thus far. Could use some more gestural support (swipe to next article, etc) and the ability to filter new high volume feeds, but so far, so good!MrLPO
Great app keeps getting better
Love the idea behind this app and wish it were a more widely adopted approach to handling RSS feeds in general. For users with hundreds or more feeds that they subscribe to, something like Slow Feeds is invaluable.
And by the way, a huge THANK YOU to the author for providing support for all the major post-reader RSS services. Giving your users all of these options is a great gesture and shows your users that you care :]Show lesssilvanshade
