### 4/5 — Really good app

*2026-03-21*

I’ve been using this app for the past 2 years and it has been an amazing way to read my RSS feed on the go.

### 5/5 — Super Reader ….

*2025-03-05, version 1.0.4*

In Verbindung mit FreshRSS macht der Fluent Reader genau was er soll. Finde ihn sogar besser als den Tiny Reader für TTRSS!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-01-05*

It would be useful if you can add an option to allow marking all articles as read with a single button press (and without the need for a second confirmation).

It would also be comfortable if you can move the mark all read button to the bottom tab bar. This way it will be more easily accessible.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and modern

*2024-12-30, version 1.0.4*

Love the app. Use it daily and would love to see new features

### 2/5 — No import options

*2024-10-24*

Seems impossible to import from services other than those very few listed in the app, or from an opml file.

### 4/5 — Funktioniert, leider noch keine Hintergrundbenachrichtigung

*2024-10-15, version 1.0.4*

Entgegen anderer Reviews habe ich vor kurzem meinen FreshRSS server eingebunden.
Die App ist minimalistisch und aufs wesentliche reduziert, was mir sehr gefällt.

Das einzige Feature, welches mir fehlt ist die funktion der Hintergrundsktualisierung und damit verbunden die Push-Up Notifications.

### 1/5 — Geld weg

*2024-02-06, version 1.0.4*

Funktioniert mit Freshrss nicht. 2 Euro sind futsch.

### 2/5 — How can I sync it ?

*2024-02-06, version 1.0.4*

I buy your app to have the same RSS "place" as it is on my computer, this is not possible ?

### 1/5 — fever dont working

*2024-01-21*

Fever dont connect to freshrss api

### 3/5 — Miniflux

*2023-05-17*

Ios端不支持miniflux吗。。。
