### 3/5 — Nothing from reddit

*2026-08-14, version 26*

It doesn’t seem to be able to retrieve any reddit posts from channels recommended or from channels I add myself. The app has a nice and clean layout.

### 5/5 — please use this!!

*2026-07-13, version 26*

in a world where it's increasingly hard to find actual news and info, as well as follow + keep up with your favorite bloggers, feeeed is simply the best. i've shared it with all my colleagues :]

### 5/5 — A great app

*2026-07-13, version 26*

Well-designed and intuitive, all you need in a rss reader

### 5/5 — Cures algorithmic madness- increased attention span

*2026-07-07, version 26*

Rather than recommending mindless short form media this will recommend your favorite content that may be long or short form but doesn’t lead to the doom scroll to a big tech recommended next short form. This encourages switching between topics and discourages short attention span

### 3/5 — Being chained to an app is a dealbreaker

*2026-07-07, version 26*

Feels good to use, with clear if simplistic features. However, an RSS feed with no browser support goes against my main reasons to use RSS. As-is, this is a great way to introduce a primarily-phone user to the ability to curate their own feed.

### 5/5 — Splendid!

*2026-07-04, version 26*

What a beautiful design and feature-rich application.

### 4/5 — 希望有更多功能推出

*2026-07-02, version 26*

如果App能够增加通知功能以及自动翻译功能，我想这一定会让更多使用者有更好的体验。

### 5/5 — New X? Less politically and socially charged X. Sounds good to me

*2026-06-30, version 26*

So far so good!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-19, version 25*

Give it a go you won’t be disappointed. Obviously lots of effort has gone into this app.

### 5/5 — Best news reader ever

*2026-06-18, version 25*

Better if available to add twitter feeds

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-16, version 25*

This app is my go to for all my news and favorite subreddits now. Reading experience is really good, and I like that you can save articles within the app. 10/10

### 5/5 — Great app, great rss reader

*2026-06-15, version 25*

I’m very impressed by this app and the features of the app. It’s clear that the developer is building an app that they want with really helpful functionality, making this a great rss reader.

### 5/5 — Clean

*2026-06-13, version 25*

Pleasingly clean and straightforward RSS reader.

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2026-06-08*

Je fais rarement des avis, mais là je crois qu’il est temps d’en faire un. L’application est exceptionnelle, elle fait exactement ce que je lui demande et même encore plus. Merci à toi James de nous proposer une application comme celle-ci. J’espère qu’elle restera gratuite. C’est exactement le genre d’application que le peuple veut.

### 5/5 — Too good for a free app

*2026-06-04, version 25*

I thought this UI and function must belong to some subscriptions apps, but turns out feeeed is completely free and It helps me generate a personal feed with the information I want rather than some bs YT suggestions. Please make it free as long as you could!

### 5/5 — Eu amo esse app

*2026-06-02*

Simplesmente o melhor app! Será que teria como adicionar fontes como OpenDyslexic? Me ajudaria muito

### 5/5 — Daily RSS App

*2026-05-28, version 25*

Been using this for over a year, my critiques are: weather doesn’t work in the UK and the read it later suggests articles way to aggressively (but the share button works well for this)

Apart from that, this is the perfect RSS for ios, thank you!

### 3/5 — Something shady is going on here

*2026-05-28, version 25*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — RSS feed not working

*2026-06-24, version 26*

The rss feed part of the app is no longer working after the update. 
When using Reddit it redirects to the website, then I get hit with the download the Reddit app and it blocks what I am viewing.

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2026-05-14, version 25*

No push notifications

### 1/5 — 难用，操作逻辑混乱

*2026-02-08, version 23*

很多功能就一个图标，根本不知道有啥用，设置项也是开了根本不知道在哪里生效了，刚开始觉得这个App ui不错，好心反馈几个问题，结果几个礼拜，反馈了理都不理，浪费我时间！

### 1/5 — It used to be wonderful…

*2025-09-20, version 20*

For the last month or so,it has stopped fetching new stories. It will occasionally download a new article, but for the most part, it shows me stuff from 2022. I have no idea what the problem is, but I hope they fix it soon.

### 1/5 — AI junk

*2025-03-12, version 15*

RSS is about reading articles, not hallucinated slop

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2025-02-06, version 14.1*

It need the notifications back that was the reason to use it.

### 1/5 — La app está bien pero se come la batería

*2024-03-16*

La aplicación promete. Está bien hecha. Le falta idioma español, pero es asumible.
El problema es que el iPhone se calienta a lo bestia y se chupa la batería que casi la ves bajar.

### 2/5 — Don't block Reddit popups

*2026-07-10, version 26*

Impossible to use lately as after a few seconds on a reddit, the blocking pop up appears. Can't sign in, no options to solve this, annoying af.

### 2/5 — YouTube videos don't play

*2026-05-18, version 25*

UPDATE:
5/18/26: YouTube videos break in subscriptions and subscribing to new content creators doesn't seem to be possible anymore. Shorts mostly work though  🙄

-------------------

9/29/25: Wow. Colors. I mean why improve functionality with left/right swiping to save/mark/delete when all we needed was a new paint job. Luckily I use NNN as my primary RSS reader and only use this app occasionally 🫩

-------------------  

9/15/25: The tendency for this app to update your feed and the way it does this can be a big PITA. The app will populate your feed both above and below the part of your feed you are looking at. This forces the place you are reading to randomly scroll up or down, leaving you to search for something you were trying to read or select. Sometimes the dislocation can lead to a lot of scrolling 

-------------------  

There's no doubt that this is a nice RSS reader. I won't argue that. That's the problem. It's got a nice trick or two up its sleeve but it's also a PITA. Trying to search for a site gives mixed results-sometimes a web app, sometimes a Reddit link or something else-for the same domain. Depending the seen vs unseen can be difficult as viewed items are only a little bit darker shade of white. Also, there are just so many times I have to look at the regular site because the AI summary includes half of the content or even just the footer of the page. Also its ability to flush old content is a joke-it actually keeps marking read content as unread, and there's no way to mark something as read without actually opening it. 

Maybe use it with another reader. Maybe NNW.

### 2/5 — Left wing bias

*2026-04-12, version 25*

I downloaded due to reviews. It lets you pick feeds the developer presents in a list.

The news feeds presented are all far-left biased news sources. 

I guess I shoulda known since the app button has the nyt on it.

So much for neutrality. Plus we get his political bias as a bonus,

### 5/5 — Good one

*2026-08-17, version 26*

It’s good!

### 5/5 — What I have been Looking for

*2026-08-14, version 26*

This is it this is the one ! Nothing crazy overwhelming just rss and no AI summary unless you want it and you decide and no account required. Can’t say thank you enough!

### 5/5 — So good!!

*2026-08-13, version 26*

Seriously impressed. The on-device AI summaries are so nice. UI is outstanding and clean. Everything I want in an RSS reader.

### 5/5 — Best app I miss when I switch to android.

*2026-07-30, version 26*

Honestly I have tried everything in the market but this is so far the best rss reader. I hope they make a webapp and android app!

### 5/5 — Thank you for the break from toxic social media

*2026-07-29, version 26*

I've been looking for somewhere to still stay up to date on the latest news and also enjoy some of my fave topics without the constant rage baiting and bots of social media. I was tired of seeing news sprinkled in amongst the opinions of some of the least brightest people in the world and some of them aren't even people! This app is SUCH a breath of fresh air. I was out going to use it until I could start getting print newspapers and magazines but I'm definitely going to use it even after doing that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-24, version 26*

I don’t know why I have always written off RSS readers. This app is so nice and integrates so many different websites into one feed. The interface is great, not cluttered and it delivers a limited feed each time so you aren’t mindlessly scrolling forever.

### 5/5 — Best Reddit app

*2026-07-23, version 26*

Set up subreddits as feeds. If you don’t plan to comment/post, this makes a good Reddit browser

### 5/5 — Way too good to be free

*2026-07-18, version 26*

LOVE this app. It’s slick and points me to great resources. I wish there were a few more bells and/or whistles, but I love it as is. (e.g. adjusting font, alignment, layout, turn off AI, etc.)
I’ll gladly pay a one-time fee for some of those extras (or to tip the creator).

### 5/5 — I’m blown away.

*2026-07-16, version 26*

The fact that I had to dig through menus to figure out how to support this app developer tells you all you need to know about their work. I could be mistaken, but an app this well-designed and free can only be a passion project; a labor of love. Perhaps the developer, too, is frustrated with the existing offerings for this particular purpose, built an app for themselves and decided to share it with the world. Extraordinary effort at a time when much worse online services will nickle and dime you for the privilege of frustrating you. This app, on the other hand, seems to be made with true empathy for the user without asking for anything in return. It’s truly hard to believe. I keep waiting for that pop-up to tell me I reached the limit, pay up or beat it. Massive thanks to this dev, what a legend.

### 5/5 — Really well though out

*2026-07-16, version 26*

Great app, well thought out and constructed. Easy to use. Slotted into my daily life perfectly.
