App Support scheint nicht mehr vorhanden. Schade. ### 3/5 — Toller Feed Reader *2025-03-28, version 2.4.0* Leider kann man nicht durch das Widget Scrollen. In der Free Version lässt sich nur 1 Feed speichern. Die Lifetime Lizenz kostet stolze 30€. ### 3/5 — Bien mais *2025-01-28* Bion agrégateur de news, mais wedgets ne fonctionnent pas bien. ### 4/5 — Great app but background syncing not working *2024-12-08* I like this app and have used it for a while. However, it no longer syncs in the background so widgets are pretty much useless. This is the same on both iPad and iPhone under iOS 18. ### 3/5 — Eigentlich gut…aber! *2024-11-25, version 2.4.0* Seit IOS 18.1 bzw 18.1.1 funktioniert das Widget nicht mehr :( ### 4/5 — Best way to own your own news headlines *2024-09-21* Being able to curate your own news headlines is essential to a satisfying relationship with what is news. Headlines delivers. However support is non-existent, it takes a huge amount of space (8Gb!) & updates are infrequent. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2023-11-29* Cannot chose more than 1 feed in free version. How can you evaluate. No dark mode in article view. Articles load very slow. Hardly any settings to customize app. Too expensive or what you get. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2023-10-17* Not many settings. In dark mode the article starts light then turns dark. Every article. None of the other rss apps I’ve ever used do that. No Feedly, etc login to sync feeds? Needs better tablet layout. Themes? And I don’t mean dark/light mode. Can’t justify a sub with some of the basics missing. ### 2/5 — Moins bien à ce que je m’attendais *2023-01-06* On ne peut choisir un site (feed), sinon il faut s’abonner. Ça aurait été bien que l’on puisse choisir au moins 10 sites (feed) ### 2/5 — 1 feed seulement *2021-07-13* 1 feed seulement dans sa version gratuite, donc inutile si vous n'avez pas prévu de payer ### 2/5 — Gratuit… mais payant! *2021-07-07* 1 feed, si tu en veux plus c’est 2 euros/mois. On va désinstaller ça. Dommage ### 3/5 — Only 1 feed in free version *2021-06-24* It’s not made clear at all that, without upgrading to the paid version, you are limited to just 1 feed. Deleted. ### 4/5 — Looks and works great *2021-06-24* Issues I’ve seen Opening articles should display in the app so you don’t have to wait for safari to load every time When clicking plus button to add articles the ui disappears and have to go back to add another one, frustrating for adding multiple News widgets would be a nice addition ### 2/5 — Disappointing, But Has Potential *2021-06-23* The widget text is formatted poorly and just doesn't look good. Furthermore, this app does not seem to support RSS. Many feeds are missing - such as AP. I really want to like this app. I like that is uses native Safari with Reader mode. I would subscribe in. heartbeat and use this with tons of feeds if it were better, but for now it need to cook a little longer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abandonedware. No update for over two years. This appears to be an abandoned project. *2026-01-10* I like this app and have used it for a while. However, it no longer syncs in the background so widgets are pretty much useless. This is the same on both iPad and iPhone under iOS 18 and 26. ### 1/5 — Broken and no support *2024-12-16* Developer provides no support for this broken app. ### 1/5 — Broken now *2024-07-15* This used to be a great app. One of the best for using widgets on your home screen. It’s been broken now for over a month and 9 months since the last update. ### 1/5 — Penosa *2024-05-04, version 2.4.0* La versione base permette l’aggiunta di un solo feed di notizie?!? Davvero??? Disinstallata subito, grazie. ### 1/5 — Ya no funciona y se cierra. *2022-10-28, version 2.3.1* Ha dejado de actualizar noticias en el widget y se cierra la app constantemente y justamente he pagado por ella hace menos de un mes. ¿La arreglarán ? ### 1/5 — Pas de français *2022-05-16* Quand on propose des applications avec un abonnement en France le minimum c’est que l’application soit en français !! ### 1/5 — Kein News *2021-09-28, version 2.1.1* Es werden keine Nachrichten für ausgewählte Nachrichtenquellen angezeigt. ### 1/5 — free = extremely limited *2021-06-23* I downloaded this and was presented with a decent list of news feeds, so I thought I'd build a list of half a dozen to see how it works. I tapped BBC and then discovered that it was my only feed as I was totally unable to add even a second feed. Not only that, there didn't appear to be a way to delete BBC and try another. This free trial lasted barely three minutes before I deleted the app. A single free feed is hardly enough to try out a newsreader. I'll stick with Apple News - it's got a huge number of free feeds and if you care for news from LA Times or others, you can subscribe. Nice try, folks. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-05-04, version 1.0.3* It shows articles you have to pay to read ### 1/5 — Gratuit 1 semaine *2021-03-14* Gratuit 1 semaine, après il faut payer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like your icon *2026-06-25* Looks cool ### 5/5 — Simple y efectiva *2022-12-06, version 2.3.1* Muy buena app para leer feeds. Es sencilla pero funciona muy bien. Los widgets son configurables. Y tiene búsqueda integrada para los titulares ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-11-27* The only drawback for me is there is no mark all read option ### 5/5 — The news I want on my home screen! *2022-05-29* Seattle has a rich pool of local journalists which I almost never read because I forget to check their sites. Now their articles on local news is pushed to my Home Screen so I never miss them. Thank you, Luca! I love this app! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. Have a great day :) ### 5/5 — Bella app *2022-04-01, version 2.2.0* Semplice e pulita, la uso per tenermi aggiornato! Comodissimi anche i widget! ### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe *2021-10-09, version 2.2.0* Funktioniert zuverlässig und die Widgets in verschiedenen Layouts sehen schick aus. Es wäre nur noch wünschenswert bei den Artikeln einen Zeitstempel mit einzublenden. ### 5/5 — Fantastic new update! *2021-06-22* It’s like a proper RSS reader now for your home screen! ### 5/5 — Must have *2021-03-21, version 1.0.3* Quello che serviva! ### 5/5 — Great but can’t restore purchase *2021-03-12* Really great app, but just lack of a “Restaure purchase” option, I don’t want to pay each time I change my device .. ### 5/5 — The best news widget on the App Store! *2021-02-19* Have wanted something like this since the first iOS14 Dev Beta release. Totally love the app and the widgets it offers. Great work, Luca. 👍🏻 **Developer response:** What a beautiful review.
