### 1/5 — New version is much slower

*2026-08-09, version 2.15.0*

Swiping between articles with the new version lags and freezes and is much slower then the old version.

### 4/5 — Excellent Support

*2026-07-30, version 2.14.11*

7/30/26 - Excellent support - helped me fix the issue in two days.

7/28/26 - Stopped working on Ipad  - forbidden (403)

10/19/21 - Program was not properly working for a while but is now working well.

2/21/20 - My last major problem was solved (See 2/8/20 comment) 2/8/20 - Interface has slowed down to a crawl and I can not recommend at this time (4 stars changed to 2 stars). 1/21/20 - A very good app but slowing of the interface over time is still not fixed. 1/8/20 - Great developer response with almost all problems solved. One issue which remains for me is the continued slowing of the interface over time. Fixing this would warrant the program 5 stars. 1/6/20 - Frequent, repeated, freezes and crashes since yesterday’s update (on new iPad air (2019). Almost unusable and I lowered rating from 4 stars to 1. Nevertheless, this program seems to have great potential. 11/15/19 - Still freezes and stutters (on iPad air 2nd gen). EDITED - Article counts corrected but freezes/stuttering remain. Article counts have numerous bugs. Also, program freezes fairly often. (since upgrading to ios 13.1.2) Was a 4-5 star program.

### 4/5 — Very good RSS reader, but a subscription?

*2026-05-08, version 2.14.10*

The customization options and overall feature set are extensive. The app has been stable and buttery smooth. In addition, the developer is very responsive. My only gripe is the subscription model, I’m not a fan. Some very basic features are locked behind the pro subscrition, not cool. For me personally, I’m not sure this is worth $20/yr. It’s an RSS app..I don’t understand why the subscription model would apply to an app like this. Doesn’t make sense to me.

### 1/5 — Needs premium/pro/whatever its called

*2026-05-07, version 2.14.10*

Yet another app that has a premium tier that doesn’t list *what is in the premium tier vs not*. For the love of god put this information in the description!

### 5/5 — The best RSS feed reader out there.

*2026-03-26, version 2.14.9*

I have trialed all of them.  I have a large number of feeds I follow.  This is the best aggregator there is.  Layout is clean.  It is very customizable.  It is aesthetically the best.  It is also the fastest.  (I sync with Feedly)

### 4/5 — Very good RSS reader, but a subscription?

*2026-02-11, version 2.14.9*

The customization options and overall feature set are extensive. The app has been stable and buttery smooth. In addition, the developer is very responsive. My only gripe is the subscription model, I’m not a fan. Some very basic features are locked behind the pro subscrition, not cool. For me personally, I’m not sure this is worth $16/yr. It’s an RSS app..I don’t understand why the subscription model would apply to an app like this. Doesn’t make sense to me.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-02-04*

Loved the ability to customise the app to my liking. Find the sync speeds a bit slow (coming from reeder 4 which seems faster). The design is beautiful and the full text retrieval also works well. looking forward to more features.

### 5/5 — The best RSS reader available

*2026-01-25*

I’ve used them all over the years. I recently dumped Reeder for Fiery Feeds. People, if you are serious about your RSS feeds, this is best you can get. The customization options and overall feature set are unmatched. No other app comes close. In addition, the developer is very responsive, unlike some other RSS reader apps I have used. My only gripe is the subscription model, I’m not a fan.

### 5/5 — The best RSS reader available

*2026-01-21*

I’ve used them all over the years. I recently dumped Reeder for Fiery Feeds. People, if you are serious about your RSS feeds, this is best you can get. The customization options and overall feature set are unmatched. No other app comes close. I truly hate subscriptions, but the price to go “Pro” is reasonable and worthwhile. In addition, the developer is very responsive, unlike some other RSS reader apps I have used.

### 4/5 — 多量のフィードが捌きやすい

*2025-12-17*

多量のフィードを見ているので、中断するときに見たところまで既読にできます。
またカスタマイズできることも多く便利です。
特にinstapaperやreadwise、通常の共有なども簡単できるので後で読み返しやすいです
