User reviews

Simply the best!!

Updating my review:

This is my fav Mac RSS app. Simple sidebar. But with this update, iPhone and iPad now have dark mode and work properly. It syncs with my Mac. The keyword setup is the best I’ve seen.

One small suggestion:

Please allow it to have multitasking in iOS (ie, shrink so I can place a second app on the screen). This would allow me to use Safari easily instead of the built in app. Currently, using safari as your reader takes you completely out of the app.

Been hacked or something

Same as other users. Spam notifications coming through, the OSX app is fine the iOS app is compromised. Needs a fix in a big way. Had to delete.

The app is compromised

I have been using this app for some time now. Recently, my Notification Center is being bombarded with porn spam messages. I manually check all my feeds on a computer and they are clean. I have tried reaching out to the developer and no response; the developer is MIA. I’m going to park this app for an updated one. This review is intended to warn others that the app is outdated and may have been compromised.

New problems

As someone else is complaining, I find myself rereading on different devices. I don’t recall that happening before.

More distressingly, I’m getting push notifications (but no actual news items) from NewsBar on my iPhone, claiming to be ads from local prostitutes.

Fix this app, please.

Newsbar is great for what it is. However, it would be a much better program if I didn't have to play "babysitter" across multiple apple devices. I use iCloud for multiple cross-functional programs and Newsbar is the only program I have issues with. That is, if I view/read a Newsbar article on one device, then that action should be represented across all iCloud connected devices. Sometimes it works great while other times it does not. Please fix this. Thanks!
