### 1/5 — 内测老用户被最近更新的版本逼走了

*2026-04-15*

一开始 folo 是个非常好的 RSS 订阅软件，作为一个本地工具我愿意买断制付费。但是自从开始转型 AI 各种更新越来越离谱了。大小 bug 层出不穷不说，三天两头改 UI，各种 AI 功能硬往嘴里喂。最新的更新搞了个不能关闭的 AI 右边栏，文章反倒得点进二级页面看。实在不理解开发者牺牲核心体验硬加付费功能的行为，只能遗憾卸载

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2026-03-25, version 0.4.0*

经常性闪退

### 1/5 — Find an alternative. Your time and money deserve better.

*2025-12-30, version 1.1.3*

This software is a masterpiece of failure.

1.  Fundamentally Broken: Its core features are unreliable and clunky. Paying users have become your unpaid beta testers.

2.  Digital Ransom: It charges a premium price for a subpar experience. This isn't a subscription; it's a protection fee for software that works against you.

3.  Insulting Arrogance: The developers ignore critical feedback while pushing pointless updates, slapping new paint on a collapsing core.

### 1/5 — Subscription data will be lost. Don't use it.

*2025-12-20, version 0.2.10*

Subscription data will be lost. Don't use it.

### 1/5 — This app does NOT open!

*2025-12-02*

As title, so terrible!!

### 1/5 — 英文不能翻译

*2025-11-25, version 0.2.10*

不能翻译了

### 1/5 — The dev team has a real credibility issue

*2025-11-13*

Be careful - you might end up paying for illusory promise

### 1/5 — Failed to launch!

*2025-11-03*

It shutdown immediately after launch. Very terrible experience!!
