Missing Features
I love the simplicity of this reader. The OPML import works great. However, I can't find any way to add feeds or categories now that my original import is loaded. I can't change basic settings like how many articles to store for each feed.
Simple, elegant, does what I need
And no stupid service. Thank you
Finally, a REAL RSS reader.
This app does *exactly* what an RSS reader is SUPPOSED to do. It's not like any of those fancy "readers" that just shove a whole bunch of curated content that you don't care about in your face (you know which ones I'm talking about). You import your RSS feeds of choice, it fetches them, end of story. As someone who is currently trying to migrate from the dinosaur that is Opera Mail, this is an absolute godsend. (By the way, importing from Opera worked flawlessly! Thank you for implementing OPML *correctly*!)
My only criticisms are that the app doesn't integrate with Safari to fetch RSS URLs from sites that offer them, which would be enormously helpful, but probably difficult to implement, and there are quite a few spelling mistakes in the interface (I'm assuming the developer's first language is not English).

Great App, Does What it Needs to
I got this app mainly because I wanted to import my RSS feeds through OPML and it work seemlessly.
I notice one bug however, when importing an OPML export from a RSS reader such as Bamboo for Firefox, the feed categories get imported into the App, but the RSS feeds don't. It ends up being just a list of empty categories. Had to use another PC RSS reader app to export/import/export/import so that I can get an OPML file without categories.
But still, great app. Use it every day!

A hidden App Store gem
I spent a couple of hours looking for a simple RSS app that did the following:
- Not too expensive
- Didn't require hooking into an external syncing service
- Imports OPML files
- Allowed me to read RSS content with a minimum of fuss
If there was an option to purchase at a reasonable price I would have already paid.
Compared with apps that try to grab your attention with fancy UI but lack substance and usability, the uncluttered interface gets out of your way and the notification of unread feed items effectively grabs your attention without being overbearing.

Just Perfect for me my requirement
A dark theme would be great.
Should be a paid app
This app obviates the long-unnecessary, centralized server portion of the RSS reader package. Why funnel all of your attention data through any one organization? No need to create any user accounts or sign-in to yet another fly-by-night service (worth one star by itself!) with this app.
I'd like to see them add iCloud sync so that an iPad version (another thing I'd like to see) gets updated with read articles.

Best rss reader ever
Nice update. The browser is a good bonus.
All I was looking for was a really simple syndication reader and all I could find we're Feedly type products. This is small and simple and has the ability to add a feed that you found and not some feed that was suggested.

Nice and clean
Very simple and clean local RSS reader
Best so far
RSS is supposed to be simple -- plain text, no fancy fonts, no fixed widths. RSS Mobile accomplishes that. You can import OPML, so there's no need to sync with Google. The developer's site says that groups are a possibility in a future release. If that happens, the app will merit a fifth star.
