User reviews

Great offline reader

I've always loved Byline because it seems about the only reader app with full offline reading of cached webpages. This new version looks sleek, but I can't tell if all my articles are downloaded (the old version had a progress indicator telling you how many were done and I just can't find it here).

As someone else mentioned, it keeps wanting to paste from the clipboard when opening, which seems suspicious…

アップデートされない

最も使いやすいRSSリーダーだったが、6年間アップデートされておらずGoogleログインできなくなった。

Weird paste issue

Every time I open the app it attempts to paste whatever is in my clipboard into the app. Why does it do this? Is it just a glitch? Or is it an attempt to steal private information that I might have copied to the clipboard? I don’t know, but it seems not good!

Also, I could not find any way to send feedback on this issue, either through the app, or on their website, so I guess you get a one star review instead! 🤷‍♂️

毎回フリーズ

記事を開いてしばらくするとフリーズ。タスキルするしかなくなる。
アプリ制作者はちゃんとテストしてるのか疑うレベルの出来。

有料版でも広告が出る

1000円で有料版を購入するが広告が消えない。
各サイトの広告じゃない。上下に出てくるやつ。サファリで見ると消えるので削除対象のはず。ひどい。
