### 5/5 — Works like a charm!

*2026-07-23*

Love this app!  It does exactly what it says it will and well!  I’d had some issues in previous RSS implementations but this and my NextCloud AIO self hosted install works 100% like a charm!  I’m grateful!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2026-06-29*

Wasted 20 minutes with trying to get logged in to my News server on Nextcloud.  Set up api password and verified everything is working correctly, even used Chat for troubleshooting to no avail.  Sadly no way to get past login screen.

**Developer response:** Hey! I‘ve just released a new major version of Nextnews, could you try if the login works now?  

If it doesn’t, which error are you getting? Creating an API password shouldn’t be necessary on your end since Nextnews requests an API password by itself after you authenticate using the in-app browser. If the new release doesn’t solve the issue, hit me up on the „app support“ button listed on the App Store page.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2026-06-21*

Nextnews does exactly what it needs to.

### 5/5 — Yay

*2026-04-02, version 1.1.2*

This is the first one that has all the features of feedly that uses my own instance for centralization.

### 5/5 — great app!

*2026-03-19*

all my news in one place and no need to see reddit comments

### 1/5 — iPhone iPad

*2025-12-29, version 1.1.2*

Unterirdisch

### 1/5 — Lacking import function

*2025-12-22, version 1.1.2*

Extremely difficult to transfer from another news reader as there is no way to import new feeds in an OPML file. And of course, no export function either.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-12-18, version 1.1.2*

That’s my review.

### 4/5 — Stabile App

*2025-12-07, version 1.1.2*

Einfach, schlicht und stabil ist die App. Ich vermisse ein dark Mode und offline lesen, sowieso innerhalb eines Folders alles gelesen markieren. Es scheint keine Updates mehr zu geben seit 2 Jahren. Das ist echt schade. Ich hoffe, dass es nur eine längere Pause ist.

### 2/5 — Is this app alive?

*2025-10-26*

Last update 2 yo… will somebody maintain this app?!

**Developer response:** New major update just dropped! :) Sorry, it's not always easy to find the time to update a product like Nextnews regularly
