Needs better customization of sources

It’s like if a music app only had 10 selected bands and no easy way to make your own playlists. The presentation is pleasant so hopefully the app will expand its capabilities.

Hi there, Thank you for the constructive feedback. You can now add your own feeds via the manage section by entering site URLs, you can also hide or remove existing starter feeds (which are great if you don't want to be paralysed with decision fatigue from the get-go). There's also a great new Share Extension to add feeds from Safari and elsewhere across your device, and the feeds can be moved around via the manage section's Context Menus. Hope this helps! Thank you, Shihab

Duplicate Stories

It would be nice to eliminate stories with the same subject / context from each feed — otherwise it’s a great app!

Hi there, Thank you for the kind and constructive feedback. I have taken this onboard and recent updates have aimed to reduce duplicates. Thank you, Shihab

Good effort but falls so short…

Tile per story consumes so much space, that even on the smallest setting you are only ever able to see 3 maybe four headlines at a time, so be prepared for tons of scrolling.

Font sizes also too large, and no way to just show headlines without parts of the article.

No way to search

Duplicates and similar topics continue to expand feed. Thought this was about smarts, so should be seeing d duplicates, and similar topics would be combined?

Smart off not RSS readers need to be light mobile and easy to scan lots of headlines quickly, which bulletin does not support.

Hi there, Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have taken this onboard and made steady improvements over the course of the past few updates. There are now even smaller condensed card sizes which display articles as a list. Duplicates have been resolved, with similar topics reduced in the 'For You' section. Hope this helps! Thank you, Shihab

I’m speechless

This is the news best app I’ve ever used! Really good job

Hi there, Thank you so much for the incredibly kind and generous feedback. It means the world! Thank you, Shihab

ok first try

meh first impression… lots of loading spinners, no ability to search and add by site name or URL (only by RSS URL), persistent header wasted where it could show what category or source you’re viewing, odd list of default sources, no way to reorder or prioritize categories or sites, no thumbnail images.

Hi there, Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have taken this onboard and made steady improvements over the course of the past few updates. Loading will now happen quicker. You can now also add RSS feeds to the app with just the site URL, or even share from Safari itself using the new Share Extension! Default sources can be hidden and removed, and thumbnails should show up for all articles, with further options for views with and without thumbnails. Hope this helps! Thank you, Shihab
