App works great with FreshRSS and I love the way reading mode looks
I tried a lot of apps that would integrate with FreshRSS and Wallabag, but always found them lacking. ReadKit on the other hand is really good and has a great Reader mode also.
While there are some stuff missing like hotkeys, and maybe ability to highlight, this app is great for what it's made to do. I even bought the lifetime license

Overall a good RSS reader
I do like this app, but there are some things that would be nice to see improved if it’s being updated at all.
1. When there’s an error syncing a feed, the only options we have are to Unsubscribe or Clear Errors. It would be nice to be able to copy the URL in some way to investigate further whether the sync error is because the RSS link has been discontinued, or if it’s a temporary problem that can be ignored.
2. A number of YouTube videos playing in the app are in any number of languages. I imagine that’s something in the way Google feeds the data to an RSS reader. But I don’t know if it’s possible in this app to be able to change the language of video that’s playing in it.
3. Once you’ve cleared all the feeds in the app, it would be nice if the focus remained on the Unread option so the next time you put focus on the app, it is already showing you the newest unread items. A very minor thing, but just a smoother user experience in my mind.

Good, but rough around the edges
I still use it daily as I prefer the user experience over Reeder, but I am finding lots of rough edges where things don't work well or at all. For a paid version 3.x, this is unacceptable.
Un des meilleurs lecteur RSS
Très bon lecteur de RSS.
Il comporte une fonctionnalité que devraient avoir tous les lecteurs RSS : la création de dossiers de recherche intelligents (extrêmement pratique pour toute veille ciblée).
Un seul petit bémol concerne la présentation avec le titrage des flux qui gagnerait à être paramétrable.

WTF is Going on???
Readkit doesn’t work. PERIOD. Nothing works. To make it worse there is now number to call to get Tech. HELP. These people don’t respond to emails asking for help.
UI Issues and no support
I have a lifetime subscription to ReadKit and I want to give it every chance to be great - I’ve been a syndication-feed user for over 20 years now.
However, the program for months and months and months has a UI issue where the article column completely disappears.
I submitted support on this and was met with complete silence from the developer.
I’m tired of letting these things slide. Maybe it’s a Tahoe problem - but this makes the app completely unusable .

Almost perfect
Like this a lot and paid for lifetime. Just wish it had an option to automatically load full article text for selected feeds rather than requiring an additional gesture.
Almost…
I was looking forward to using this application with my FreshRSS instance, but it doesn’t appear to support OAuth for authentication.
Great but not perfect
Great set of features and I like it - also knowing that it’s supported over many years now!
What’s buggy: I use Miniflux and RSS-Bridge behind it for some feeds and some of those don’t show up with a feed icon… other readers like Lire or so show them and also Miniflux via webui.
Also it would be nice to be able to put the feed title and icon in the article list to the bottom of each article or hide them..

The most modern, simple RSS reader
ReadKit has a stunning design interface that gives good amounts of customization for the reading experience. The readability features provide meaningful enhancements to the RSS experience, and the AI summary feature is one of the neatest little implementations of Apple Intelligence. After the free trial, a lifetime subscription was the easiest decision.

Great iOS platform citizen
ReadKit is a great iOS platform citizen. I particularly appreciate the robustness of its state restoration: every time after I switch to other apps (even for a long time) and then switch back to ReadKit, everything is exactly where they were.
auto hiding toolbars return
finally, we can scroll to hide toolbars again. this was a major distraction while reading since the iOS 26 redesign. now we can once again have that distraction disappear for a nicer reading experience.
RSS at its finest
This latest update moved ReadKit to my Home Screen!
App works great with FredhRSS however...
... integration with Instapaper doesn't work as it should, and that's a shame since this was the main reason I installed this app and bought a yearly subscription. I sent an email to support but didn't get any reply.
Raindrop support
I like it very much but can you please add support for raindrop as a read later service
New favorite RSS reader
I used Reeder for years and years and was satisfied until they released the overhauled version that completely changed everything I knew and loved about it. I’m so glad I gave ReadKit a try. It’s everything I loved about the classic version of Reeder, and more. Happily bought a premium subscription, though it’s remarkably feature-rich even without it (especially if you use a sync service like Feedly).

It has everything I need out of an RSS Reader
I first tried the app two years ago, and at the time it wasn't quite ready to replace Reeder for me. I'm glad that I gave it another shot. Everything works exactly as I expect it to. It reliably refreshes from my self-hosted miniflux instance. The gestures all feel very natural to use. Overall, I'm very pleased with the app's features, and I can't imagine wanting anything else out of an RSS Reader.

I recommend
Works well with TT RSS using Fever emulation
Underline offset needed
Letters can overlap with underline. Please add offset to improve text legibility.
Simple and effective reader
I’m using this for a while now. It’s simple to use and uses bunch of accts. Works flawlessly with FreshRSS and wallabag which I self host.
My only gripe is that it doesn’t offer a sepia background which would be great during the light mode.
