What's New in Amethyst

1.2

October 21, 2026

Amethyst 1.2 levels up the Amethyst experience substantially with these new features: - iPhone Duo support! Take advantage of your larger display with a full sidebar - Columns! Read multiple news feeds side by side at the same time, available on iPhone Duo, iPad, and Mac - Menu Bar app on macOS: Quickly read headlines across any feed without opening the app - New article design options: Beyond the classic rounded card, you can now choose between an immersive card (enlargens image), and a compact card with less padding. On the rounded and compact cards, there's also an additional option to disable images for more visible text. - Publications within groups in Sidebar: On iPhone Duo, iPad, and Mac, you can now list your publications underneath each individual folder, rather than in a separate list. This is a setting, so you can revert to the old behavior if you'd like - New starter packs within the Discover tab, to help you find sets of sources to quickly add - Improved Apple Watch app with ability to set complication source and see some headlines on your wrist - Fixed some iCloud Sync bugs - Ability to mark articles as read, improved read counters - Improved feed updating with push notifications - New floating window interface for Settings on macOS

Duplicate feeds & crashes after a few uses

Love feel and design and function. But duplicating feeds every time it syncs and it crashing out every time after a day or so means it’s 1 star today. Sorry to use Reviews for tech issues but sending me to X 🤢 didn’t make me feel any better about using this app. If the issues are fixed I’ll be back and it’ll be a 4/5 star app I’m sure.

Response from developer

Hi, the new update (v1.1) should fix the crashing that happened on launch for some folks. If you're still experiencing it, please send me an email and I'll try to troubleshoot for you. Thanks for giving the app a try!

Crashing constantly on startup, Mac and iPad

Downloaded this based on a recommendation, but unfortunately I have had problems with crashing. Support seems accessible through X only. Unfortunately I am not on X. It’s a 0 from me.

Works as an RSS reader for about five minutes

Such a great promise and a nice looking app, but I think there’s more than just looks to things. As soon as I started editing feeds the app started behaving erratically and now I can’t even open it. I double click on it. It just crashes and I’m asked to submit the crash report

Worked for a day

The app worked flawlessly for a day or two. A lot of potential. Unfortunately, after that it started crashing on launch and I haven’t been able to use it for over a week. If it were patched this app would be my go to rss reader.

Completely unusable

iOS app crashes on launch. So does the macOS app. Would give negative stars if I could.
