Cool but frustrating little issues
I love this concept and want to love the app so much, but my initial take is that it’s kind of a mess. The feature of setting different article lifespans for different feeds is great, except when you go change the lifespan for a feed and then hit save, nothing gets saves, so there doesn’t seem to be any way to *use* the feature. I clicked something that opened an article preview pane, which is nice, but then there’s no way to close it - the entire control disappears! - and I was stuck until I figured out that “sift mode” under the view menu really means “hide preview pane.”
Basically - awesome thinking - please be a little less clever in the UI so users aren’t left scratching their heads wondering how to do what they want. And how do I actually change article lifespans? Because that’s one of the main things that attracted me to this, so it is a bummer to have paid my ten bucks and find it just isn’t there anywhere I can find it.

Beautiful app
Current has become my preferred RSS reader. I love the reading pane, with its clean format, large readable fonts, and nice integration of text and images. It took me a few weeks to get used to Current’s method of managing feeds, but it’s working smoothly for me now. I have a few minor issues; I wish Current kept track of my position in the Voices sidebar, instead of returning me to the top of the list after reading an article. But overall, this is a great app!

Excellent app
This app has been a game changer for me. I have been so stressed with other RSS apps, feeling like it was homework to keep track of all those new posts. In the end I just did abandon the app. With this app I don’t have that issue at all, I love the concept of “currents” and “river”, and when the river sleeps, it feels liberating to me. It is very clever and innovative and I highly recommend it for anyone that has felt stressed with RSS apps in the past.

Love everything but
The inoreader support. The app stops syncing after only a few days and I have to keep logging in.
