User reviews

Crashes reliably since last update

Since the last upgrade, the app crashes reliably while showing the getting started lable. This can be reproduced on different devices for iPhone and iPad.
That’s an unfortunate development for a long year user.

So annoyingly slow

This feed reader always was and still is so painfully slow… opening one feed takes 10 to sometimes 30 seconds. Impossible to use! It must be the apps programming which seem to be not very efficient. And no debug logs possible so impossible to check what’s wrong with it. So sad this is still the only option for Nextcloud news on iOS - next to the browser (which at least responds quickly and does not frustrate you, like sitting and spending your life time as with CloudNews).

Fetching takes forever and doesn’t show results half the time

Sadly not a great app. Background refresh doesn’t even work

Seit update Fehler

Seit dem Update gehen 2 meiner feeds nicht mehr. Es werden keine Daten mehr abgefragt.

Disappointing

Terrible user experience, nearly no updates, absolutely not fun to use. Don’t spend the money.
