No longer working

This was a great reader but it will no longer open on iOS, iPad, or Mac.

Good app, Bad UI

Putting a “logout button” in the same place as the menu button so that if you double tab the menu button, you get logged out is diabolical. App seems to do its job though

Won’t load

Screen just flashes and you can’t log in

Keep crashing won’t load

Doesn’t work or load and when it does it just flashes and crashes

LOVE this app, just one problem

I love this app so much. It’s a truly modern take on RSS feeds, and extends that idea with new features. There’s just one “problem” I have with this app. I wish this app had a lot more support for the articles being “natively displayed” in the Feedly app, instead of having to click on a link that takes you to the articles webpage. Having to do this makes the app feel less polished and natural. You would’ve thought by 2026 this is possible. Is it not?

won’t open without deleting and reinstalling

Feedly no longer works as a free app. It is either a blank screen, or if you try to open it from the App Store, you get a flickering screen that you can’t even read. So you have to delete the app and reinstall it. And then it will open for that session. Next time you want to use it, you have to go through the whole process again.
I’ve been with Feedly since it was Google notes, probably nearly two decades, and I am incredibly sad to see them become so greedy that they will not allow us normal access to our own accounts in Feedly without paying a monthly subscription fee (which, as a senior, I can’t afford).

App Not Working

App has stopped working since most recent update. All I get is a white screen.

DO NOT BUY. Free services now cost extra

Ten years ago Feedly was pretty good. Now, it charges an annual fee of c. $140 plus charges you to search in languages other than English or to get other services that previously were free. The fee structure is baffling given AI agents and models can do all this and more now for free. You can actually get more market insights or news by setting up a regular task with the most popular AI apps. This app has no justification for the private client anymore, especially since the age of RSS feeds has passed. The value proposition is so minimal that this app feels like a scam now.

Used to love it now it’s buggy

Ive been using this app since it came out and now it’s so buggy it won’t even open

Missing Features from previous version

Partial and full swipe gesture customization is back, but no option to mark a page of articles at a time as read.

Missing key features from the previous version of the app. I’m used to swiping to bulk mark-read but now I need to swipe each article individually. Takes longer now to sort through feeds. Weirdly can’t pinch to zoom on images anymore either. Can’t seem to disable extraneous animations either. Very disappointing.

No longer launches

Just hangs there on the splash screen and never progresses now

Swipe broken for months

Please fix the swipe only working twice to cycle through articles bug!

App 100% broken in betas

The app is fully broken in the iOS 27 betas.

Do not open article

Something went wrong
Invalid regular expression: invalid group specifier name (ref: cc3cb…)

Doesn’t work anymore

App hangs at the initial green splash screen.

Built-in reading interruption

Great app, but it’s really annoying how when I’m reading an article, just clicking on the screen sends me back to the general feed. Please change that.

アプリ起動のバグの対処方法

Google Readerの終了以来移行してずっと使っています。
2026/08ぐらいに久々に起動すると、ロゴが長時間出た上に、その後ログイン画面も断続的にリロードが続き利用できず。
困っていましたが、
設定→一般→iPhoneストレージ→Feedly→Appを削除
として、その後再インストールしたら復活しました。
代わりの効かないアプリなので、末長く続いて欲しいですね。

Frustrating

Feedly caps the number of feeds you can have on its free version - but it doesn’t tell you that! I don’t mind paying for a good app but if you don’t explain the benefits then don’t expect me to stay

周知用

皆さんもご指摘の通り、ログイン関係のエラーなのかFeedlyのオープニングロゴで固まる、ログアウト時に表示されるアカウントの初期設定画面の状態で点滅するなどの問題が起きています。
たまたまこの1ヶ月Feedlyを使っていなかったので気づかなかったのですが、ちょくちょく前からバグの片鱗はあったので、最近の運営の杜撰さと対応の遅さには少し疑問を持ちますね…

Audio on app activation, why?

Open Feedly and it takes over iPadOS audio, so anything playing in PiP pauses. There is no valid reason for this behavior in a news reading app that is not showing or playing any video or audio.
