Great app, I use it daily! Request to fix adding YouTube links, please.

Once I learned about RSS, this was the best RSS reader I could find. Since downloading this app, I've used it pretty much every day, and I enjoy it. It's simple, fast, convenient and for the most part, it does what I need it to do. I like how consistent the devs are to take care of users' requests to improve the app, it's really great!

One issue: since YouTube updated how channel IDs work in their links, NetNewsWire cannot add new feeds from there. This is slightly frustrating, as I would like to add more news channels to my feed. To the developers: I prefer to use NetNewsWire over the YouTube app, and I would appreciate if you could fix this, please. Thanks for your work!

Intéressante mais...

Ce serait probablement l'une des meilleures apps si elle affichait le contenu des articles. Mais malheureusement la moitié des sites que je suis ne s'affichent pas, ni en version classique ni en affichage Lecteur. Dommage, je vais donc rester sur Reeder qui est, certes, plus basique. Mais qui affiche l'intégralité des sites que je suis.

Works with freshrss

A phone rss reader I can use with my self-hosted freshrss. It’s so useful. Great, intuitive, idiomatic interface too. I use this every day and it’s almost exclusively how I access the small web. Wonderful app.

Imports fail for some services

InoReader and Newsblur fail to import, feedly and feedbin both work fine exporting and importing the opml back and forth.

Update broken

Was excellent but the latest update broke it. Will not read the RoyalRoad links even though the previous version did.
It’s a pity - used to be very good but is now nonfunctional
Updated:fixed now

Works with Miniflux

Syncs great with my personal Miniflux server. I like how it just does feed syncing and reading and nothing else.

The app is unbelievably buggy

It does not reload the feed as often as I’d like it to, as well as the app randomly decides to delete categories.

privacy stealing app

doesn't follow system DNS, routes your traffic through mystery DNS servers that probably steal your data and sell it

Response from developer

What are RoyalRoad links? We can certainly help you if you post a bug report or post on our forum. If there’s a bug we’d like to know about it and fix it!

잘 쓰고 있습니다

Newsblur와 연동해서 쓰고 있는데 ui도 예쁘고 기사 깔끔하게 긁어옵니다

The best and I love it

Suggestion:
- Please add an optional keywords filter so NetNewsWire would retrieve new content based on them.

thank you for an excellent rss app

works well, is fast and lean, and open source as well.

O melhor app de notícias!

Consigo organizar e ter controle das minhas fontes de notícias. É fácil, bem organizado e gratuito! Adorei!

O melhor!

O melhor leitor de RSS que já usei. Leve, bonito, completo, no celular e no computador.

Epic perfection

Dev who cares but refuses payment, perfect app, useful updates (not stupid useless "minor changes and fixes"). I love you too, man, thanks for your hard work.

Juste idéal

J’ai utilisé Newsify pendant presque 10ans. NetNewsWire est plus léger, plus rapide, plus stable. De plus il est maintenu activement. Parfait!

Constant Error Code

I get an error code every time I try to add a feed.

Excellent!

So tired of video advertising sliding in and out like ai bots with a mission to disrupt your "attempt" at reading or scanning a list of articles. Not all advertising is bad. I get it. I support it. But these bot like video creatures are an abomination. NetNewsWire has solved 90% of the problem for me. No account required! Free! A highly valuable tool! Thanks NetMewsWire!

Macht exakt was er soll

Wunderbar. Kein Schnickschnack, sondern ein RSS Reader, der zuverlässig meine abonnierten Feeds sammelt. Und dann noch Open Source. Mehr kann man nicht verlangen.

Amazing!

Perfect app. Last fix was brilliant and simple - the best kind. Excellent work, dev!
