User reviews

Great rss app concept, done poorly

There are comments that can be seen from other users who viewed/shared the same feed you are looking at. Some may hate this, but it essentially makes it a decent inbetween of reddit and using rss feeds without having to leave the app.

Sadly the free version is useless which you wont notice til the trial expires a month in, at least export seems to work, importing doesn't work at all with any of the 4 similar apps I tried that all work back and forth with each other.

Phony app and/or reviews?

Most recent reviews are, 1, 4, 4, 6, and 8 years old and yet its one of the most popular RSS? something not right there. the app itself is creepy (automatically does things you don't want) and cluttered (menu/settings/font/layout) and overly complicated (curiously worded options), best viewed on a 32" monitor until the GUI is modernized. its meant to not collect data but it seems to want to hook you up with strangers unless you turn that off.

Frustrating unresponsiveness to window sizes

Window rendering is all over the place, with too many view settings that don’t react appropriately to variable window sizing in Windowed or Stage Manager modes. Ended up wrestling in a tug-of-war with the app β€” unable to find a decent viewing configuration β€” and not enjoying the experience at all.

In a word:

Superb!
