Schöne App

Sehr guter Reader mit AI Zusammenfassung. Mir fehlen nur folgende Features für das feed display: die artikelvorschau unter dem Titel auszublenden, schriftart ändern und größe einstellen und ein Card Layout, also breite Thumbnail karten mit abgerundeten ecken, die aber vertikal etwas schmaler sind, mit Text Oberlay, wo der Artikel im Thumbnail auf einem schatten overlay steht, dann wäre ich wunschlos glücklich und würde auch gerne dafür bezahlen

tv

I’m glad the tv app was finally fixed a few months ago, but — unlike its iPhone and iPad counterparts — it lacks a category section, and ONLY shows sports (ESPN and Sky Sports) news… which I care nothing about. Please implement a categories tab/section so that I can thoroughly enjoy the app.

Clean and easy to use .

Really impressed with how clean and organised this app looks. I’m not the most technical person but everything feels straightforward and easy to navigate. Love the customisation options and the overall design feels modern and polished. You can tell a lot of hard work has gone into creating it. Definitely deserves 5 stars.

Apple Watch app needs options

I tried this specifically for the Apple Watch support. Right now my RSS apps don't sync across devices so I was hoping this would work to replace them. It's very AI forward which is not what I'm interested in. On the Apple Watch, tapping an article tries to load the entire website instead of a watch-friendly reader view. Most times the website won't load at all, and so it's not possible to read the full article which defeats the purpose. I'll have to continue looking for a solution

Response from developer

Thank you for such detailed feedback — it genuinely helps to understand how you're using the app. The Apple Watch experience is limited right now, and I hear the frustration: tapping through to a full website on the watch is far from ideal. A native reader view for watchOS is something I'd love to improve in the future.

WOW!!! 🤯

I’m honestly flabbergasted that this app actually got an update… and, not just that, multiple updates in the past week. honestly, I’m shocked! After over a year with no updates, and not a word from the developer – after reaching out multiple times – I’m glad to see some great work has been put into it.

The only thing I would like to see implemented is the category functionality on tv as it is on iPhone and iPad; there were a few categories I don’t really care about, and would like to remove them from my feed/summary. Also, the Watch app stays stuck on the loading screen.

Other than that, I have really been enjoying this app… and glad I kept it on my devices.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback — French localization is something I want to add, and hearing it requested directly makes it a real priority. I appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Danke für das offene Feedback – es ist absolut nachvollziehbar, dass eine fehlende deutsche Benutzeroberfläche die Nutzung von Bulletin erschwert. Eine Lokalisierung ist für die Zukunft geplant, und Rückmeldungen wie deine helfen dabei, die richtigen Prioritäten zu setzen. Ich hoffe, Bulletin kann dich irgendwann in deiner Sprache begrüßen.

Crashes Regularly

Imported my feeds and app crashes. Cant see anything else on app. Needs a massive fix.

Really sorry this happened — crashing on import is a frustrating way to experience Bulletin, and I completely understand the 1-star. This issue has now been fixed in the latest update, so please give it another try after updating. If anything else feels off, reach out directly through the support link in the App Store listing.

Refund

This app is a rip off and it shouldn’t be on apple‘s App Store. Why pay for a news app when you can get it for free? I want my money refunded back. If I don’t get it refunded back I’m gonna report this app as a scam

Good idea, badly implemented

Bugs and flawed dated UI makes it hard to navigate and enjoy. Subscription is way too expensive for what it offers (i.e. AI summary is avail for free in other apps).

Merci pour votre retour ! Je comprends que vous aimeriez utiliser Bulletin en français. C'est une demande importante, et l'ajout de la localisation française est quelque chose que j'envisage pour l'avenir. Si vous avez d'autres suggestions, n'hésitez pas à me contacter à support@pixelfolio.app.

It doesn’t work

I can’t import my feeds and the default ones don’t work either

Brilliant App

All i can say that the developer has done a great job . I am using this application for my competitive exams current affairs preparation and the best thing here is the custom links which i feel was missing in other apps . I just have one suggestion if we could have the news in a reel format I mean a flowing card transition system , like we read one news then another . This will allow us to read and consume more . Thanks

Thank you so much, Arth — this genuinely made my day! Really glad the custom links feature is hitting the mark for your exam prep. The reel-style card transition idea is fantastic and something I'll be exploring for a future update. Best of luck with your exams!

A little heartbroken…

I like this app with its simple to use interface, but the reason I downloaded it was so I could use it on my tv… but, the app doesn’t even load (nor on the Watch): just stays on a “spinning” loading white screen.

I really hope this issue gets resolved quickly.

it’s extremely disappointing as it worked well on my iPhone and iPad, and I paid for lifetime access.

Good

The app is good but I have it as a widget on my Home Screen. In other rss reader the widget autonomously feed new headline into the widget, heading the preview. In this case I have to tap the widget and after tapping, pull to refresh.

The widget has to refresh itself, and by tapping it, open the fresh new article, after exiting the article pull the top fresh stories imho

EDIT: the widget now refresh itself (but always after long time). In addition if you customise your Home Screen (in example with dark tint icons black and white tint) the article picture is totally white.

Good App but…

I’m having trouble sync my iPhone and my iPad personal RSS. I bought the premium app and don’t regret it. Just hope to fix this iCloud bug to sync my folders. Further more, the app is great and very helpful to stay tune on the latest and not so greatest updates of the day.

Generally a great experience

Bulletin on Mac works just fine.

However, I found the app on the Apple TV store seeking for a cross-platform solution (MacOS, iOS, tvOS). At this time the TV version unfortunately does not launch anymore. Would be neat to see a version update/bump for the full experience. Until then I settled on “News Explorer”. In my opinion there is room for both news readers as they follow different approaches and may even act complementary.

Please update the app. Thank you!

It crashes

It crashes every time I try to paste an URL. Pretty cool idea, but it needs work

Good in design and Ai features. But…

It is basically a paid app as each time I tried to read an article it says I have to pay (before it was with only the Ai) also the articles feel not as relevant and very company repetitive it isn’t very shuffled. And honestly I believe there are other option with better or similar use…
