### 1/5 — Duplicate feeds & crashes after a few uses

*2026-06-23*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 1/5 — Crashing constantly on startup, Mac and iPad

*2026-06-22*

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.

### 1/5 — Works as an RSS reader for about five minutes

*2026-06-17*

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

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2026-06-04*

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

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2026-06-01*

Title says it all.

### 2/5 — Worked for a day

*2026-06-16*

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.
