사용자 폰트 설정 돌려주세요 ㅜㅜ

다른 폰트 변경을 지원하는 어플들은 모두 문제없이 업데이트된 OS에서 사용자 폰트를 지원하는데, feiry feeds만 새 버전 OS에서 지원을 못해서 시스템 폰트를 지정할수 없다고 하는건 납득이 안됩니다. 정말 오랫동안 사용한 이용자여서 더 속상함이 커요. 유일하게 자유도가 높은 설정이 기사 읽기에 사용자 최적화에 최고라고 자부했는데 기사를 읽은 가독성을 좌지우지할 수 있는 폰트 설정이 빠진게 게속된다면 구독연장여부도 고민이 될거 같아요.

Response from developer

Apple has tightened the requirements for reading the user installed fonts, for privacy reasons I believe. You should still be able to pick your installed fonts in Settings > Fonts, which uses the system font picker, while I work on showing them in the article view design picker again too.

Nagware

New version has constant nags for another app. I paid a subscription fee for Fiery Feeds for several years but won’t be renewing. Plenty of RSS readers out there.

Paper Press nag popups

Now when swiping to mark an article as read, you get a nag pop up for the new Paper Press, every single time! One time I can understand, but this crosses a red line for me.

very good

very nice

Like nested folders, dislike subscription

The solo dev excuse is always not being able to afford it. You can't spend 100$ a year to keep your own app that you use up on the store and updated? Your whole source of income shouldn't be reliant on one rss app, that makes it hard to trust your code. If this ever gets popular and you become reliant on it, expect a price increase on the sub...

Only benefit it has over other readers is nested folders (not really, kind of helpful but its not the dirextion I wanted)

Lifetime fee or nothing, there are already multiple great apps for 5-10$ or free, not paying that amount a year for an app based around syncing with an outside service that im also paying monthly for.

Great Support

Infrequent problems do occur but their support is excellent.

Great features and format, but some big bugs too

At this point in time, this is the best RSS reader out there, at least for the way I use them.

One question: where has the back button in the internal browser gone?

New version is much slower

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

Excellent Support

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.

Very good RSS reader, but a subscription?

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.

Response from developer

Fiery Feeds is now over a decade old, version 1 was a one time purchase. But the simple answer is, if I hadn’t switched to a subscription to get recurring income, I would have had to abandon the app years ago and It would simply no longer exist. I understand that that’s on the higher side, but unfortunately RSS readers are kind of a niche market.

Needs premium/pro/whatever its called

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!

The best RSS feed reader out there.

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)

Love it

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.

The best RSS reader available

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.

The Best RSS App with Amazing Developers!

I've been a loyal user for over a year on my iPhone. I used a different app on my Mac because I needed a minimalist, always-on-top window. I was going to use another app on both platforms, so I decided to write to the developers asking them to consider adding this feature to the Mac version.

I was blown away by their response! Not only did they reply quickly, but they also implemented the feature!

This is a beautiful and functional app, but more importantly, it shows there is a responsive and user-listening team behind it. Five stars—not just for the app, but for the commitment to their users. Thank you!

Excellent RSS reader

This is an excellent and highly configurable RSS reader. I use it every day and love the power it provides.

Not an enjoyable experience

I did not like the onboarding or how much is locked behind the paywall. “Basic” is almost unusable. I’m sure the app works for people that pay, but first impressions are important in convincing me to sub and Fiery dropped the ball there.
