Can’t add my newsletter accounts
Does one thing, well.
This is one of those apps that you would like to be able to give 4.5 stars. It’s very useful, but could use a couple of improvements, which I’ll mention later. But if it never gets them, it’s still a good app to have, so five stars it is.
The big advantage Newsletterss has over my previous practice is that I don’t have to go to my Mail app & find the appropriate inbox. The app sits right there on my iPad & iPhone home page, and is grouped with other related apps I read in, such as Feedly, Pocket and Instapaper. Or I can go to the internet browser site, but I don’t tend to read on my computer (I use Instapaper/Pocket or sometimes PushToKindle for reading I discover on the net.)
Recently, the developer has added a couple of functionalities to the iOS apps that previously only existed on the web browser site - or at least I just noticed them. The app will retain deleted newsletters for up to 10 days, and it allows you to view either only your unread newsletters, or all newsletters which haven’t been deleted.
So what else would I like to see? Well, the subscription list in the app only lists the subscriptions for which there is a current undeleted newsletter in the All/Unread category. So if you have a newsletter from a source where you have deleted all the newsletters, it’s not in the subscription list. The deleted list which retains newsletters for 10 days would be more useful if it retained them longer. You can’t restore deleted newsletters to the All/Unread categories, although they are available for the 10 days so that’s something. There is also no way to save specific newsletters aside from not deleting them. (Some of these things strike me as resource intensive on the developer’s side, though, so I don’t really expect to see those…)
But these are mere quibbles. This is an app which I am happy to pay for.
Gets the job done
A useful place for the higher volume, less personal messages
Too limited
Not easy to remove old posts and clutter
If I go without reading or removing them, then my inbox quickly fills with tens, of not over a hundred entire that are not easy to glance or sort.
So… this discourages me from adding more subscriptions and letting it get even more out of control.
Plus, I never know if a source will dump entry after entry and unexpectedly clutter the mailbox. That can cause me to unsubscribe, rather than deal with the hot mess.
