### 5/5 — Very well done

*2022-10-01, version 1.1.1*

Love this app simple easy and good output

### 4/5 — Unique Approach to RSS Client

*2022-07-30*

There’s a lot to love about the app, but it’s very limited.  No ability to see Feedbin folders and use conventional browsing methods.  That may be the developers intent but buyers should be aware before purchase.

The reading experience is exceptional and varied.  That feature is as advertised.

However I can’t give a full recommendation because of the limited navigation.  It takes too many steps to select one feeds articles.

Also there are bugs but no way to communicate with the dev.  No email to send to on the website.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review - and sorry for the slow response (I blame the summer). 

I'm definitely planning to support folders very soon. And yes, I hear you about the navigation - I'm rethinking the paths through the app, and how I can make them simpler for people who just want to get to the articles.

As for bugs, I wanna hear them! I'd be super grateful if you could mail me at hello@reams.app with any reports.

Thanks for using Reams!

### 5/5 — Simple, functional, beautiful

*2022-04-19*

Reams is a beautiful app that seems to do one thing well, make articles from your RSS feed readable and beautiful. I love that it allows you to select the full text view of the articles.I hope the creator adds some sort of a paid upgrade feature so the app can be sustainable, and it would be nice to diversify the RSS feed providers. Feed wrangler is closing down soon, which will mean you could only use one RSS provider. 

Supporting local RSS (synced to iCloud) would be ideal. 

Great start, I’m looking forward to what’s coming next.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Yes, I’m planning to add sync and some other premium features at some point soon. Good point on the Feed Wrangler closure - maybe I need to work on Feedly support.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2022-03-08, version 1.0.1*

I like being able to see the latest stories from sources I’m interested in. Clean design makes for easy reading.

### 5/5 — A splendid app

*2022-03-06, version 1.0.1*

I’m really enjoying dipping into this, a great way to find things I want to read about, and also a great way to get multiple viewpoints on things

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2022-03-04, version 1.0.1*

I haven't used RSS for years, this app makes me wonder why... Awesome design. Nice one!

### 1.1.1 — 2022-05-24

Fixed a couple of bugs, one of them visible (the feed boxes in the Your Feed screen were not full width on phones), one of them invisible (it's complicated).

### 1.0.2 — 2022-05-13

"So which one shall I do first?" I asked myself, looking at the list of new features I wanted to add to Reams. "I know, I'll add landscape mode. How hard can it be?" 

Turns out it was hard. Like two months hard. Who would've guessed? Well, me probably, I should have guessed. But I suppose it's nice to be surprised by life sometimes. 

Anyway, it's finally here! In full technicolor widescreen effect! Landscape mode! Woo!

Plus some little bug fixes and optimisations, of course.
