Thank you

Thanks for the maintenance update and fixing the YouTube bug.

Kind of great. Kind of needs love

The Reader views that the in-app browser displays is far superior to either of the app’s built in Extractors (Readability or Postlight Parser). Neither of those displays images properly often not displaying several images in an article if any.

NY Times is broken.
YouTube long broken.

It is a shame because the flow and functionality are great.

Oh yeah, can’t rename or manage Tags whatsoever. Seems straightforward - make tags editable.

Still the best

Thank you for fixing the text alignment bug! This is still the most elegant way to read RSS feeds, especially if you use a third party sync platform.

Still the best

Glad to see this app still getting updates — with all the nice little details and bits of polish that's made it the best RSS reader for so many years and through so many iOS changes.
