User reviews

50% of a good RSS reader

Finally got my RSS imported.
Like: Tags, rules, organisation
Missing: Can’t swipe between articles, no automatically marking as read. No automatic reader mode so I can see the full text of an article without having to manually poke around.

If this app could do those things which are fairly basic for RSS readers and especially if it was adept at displaying web comics… well now, it’d be A+ tier.

But right now it’s weirdly under feaatured.

The Best RSS App!

Blown away by this discovery. I’ve used many RSS readers, and this by far is the best. Incredibly powerful Twitter integration and Podcast player.

Started out well, now fails to load feeds & crashes

The app looked good, the layout crisp and well thought through but now it fails to load an RSS feed that every other app has no problem with, the app shows crash error messages on load and support emails go unanswered.

You almost had me as a user

Until I realized there is no way to sort article lists from oldest to new date. Why are rss developers suddenly deciding that everyone doesn’t need this feature?? Also YouTube media don’t embed or play within the app

Not bad

Довольно неплохой конкурент фидли, дизайн и количество настроек приятно удивляют
