### 5/5 — First app I open in the morning

*2026-02-19, version 5.2.1*

It has been the first app that I open every morning on my iPad. Literally, for years. RSS is so useful that I can’t believe it ever tailed off in popularity. Feedler is clean and consise, easy to customize, and lightweight. I’ve tried bunches of others and deleted them each in less that a day. Feedler doesn’t go out of its way to be a show boat. It just delivers the news that I want from the sites that I like (that offer RSS). 

Come on web developers, add rss to your site. Increase your traffic in just a few strokes.

### 1/5 — Looks like it’s dead under iOS 17.4

*2024-03-08, version 5.2.1*

No updates in 3 years and it seems to have stopped working yesterday after I updated os (or maybe the old reader login is just broken) but I found the app RSS Mobile that doesn’t need any logins or nag about premium features for in app purchase.

### 1/5 — Updates mean you have to pay again (as well as other probs)

*2023-12-05, version 5.2.1*

When I first got this it was excellent………BUT!

### 2/5 — not an RSS reader

*2023-07-18*

Not an RSS aggregator, but a client for some RSS services.

### 1/5 — Fake!!!!

*2023-06-29, version 5.2.1*

Dont try it

### 2/5 — Why do I need an account?

*2021-07-26, version 5.2.1*

Did someone miss the point of RSS feeds? There seems to be no way to get started without an account with some RSS service. That’s not how RSS feeds were designed to work!

### 5/5 — For years, the first thing I open in the morning.

*2021-01-08*

Clean and simple.  By far the best RSS.  RSS still matters.  You have so much control.

### 5/5 — Speeding

*2020-10-21, version 5.2.1*

Most likely the best one.
Speeding. High gearing. Fast updating 
I do love it

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-10-12, version 5.2.1*

Always works for me.  Thanks for going back to the classic orange colored app icon!

### 4/5 — My go-to RSS reader

*2020-10-12, version 5.2.1*

Except for a few difficulties with settings... it just works.
