What's New in Reeder Classic

5.5.1

May 16, 2025

This update should fix two issues: - After some time the article viewer might go blank and not load any content anymore. - Opening the in-app browser sometimes will not load any content. (I couldn’t actually reproduce either of these myself, so I'm not 100% sure they're fixed now, but they should be.)

Please Consider Open Sourcing

Reeder used to be my favorite RSS app, but the replacement is not my cup of tea. Unfortunately, because the app is closed source, nobody can pick up where the developer left off and continue to support the true “classic” RSS experience. Please consider open sourcing your code so it doesn’t have to die!

Useless in Portrait Mode

Reeder Classic on iPhone in portrait mode is useless. You cannot tap the back arrow in the upper left corner. You must be in landscape mode to go back. The updated version of Reeder does not appear to have the ability to subscribe to my existing Feedbin feeds so all the links need to be manually entered. Can we please get one of them or both of them to work properly?

Once was great

Can no longer sync Feedly. Other than not displaying feeds, it’s still pretty.

Needs to be updated

Seems the developer has abandoned this app. Unfortunate.
