Background syncing never works
Background syncing never works. If I go long enough between app openings then on refresh it won’t fetch all the articles that were published between refreshes.
Buggy
I use a VPN, update feeds a startup fails and I’m forced to manually refresh feeds, before this I have to manually switch locations on my VPN in order to get feeds to refresh.
Also, when viewing YouTube videos, if the screen turns off the current video will freeze and I’m forced to close the app completely before it can play again.

Not recommended
Some bugs like being unable to add some feeds remained unsolved, and emailing the developer didn't get any response (already three months).
For subscription I don't expect new features delivered but the reliability of the basic functionality with communication to users, if they face issues. Understanding the only developer is busy but when you launch an app with a subscription plan you should evaluate whether you can handle the enormous workload for both developing and maintaining apps.

Regression from Classic
Missing some features that I loved in classic: cleaner timeline where I can tell where I was reading last
Awesome!
Great app, love it! Any plans for Threads support? Or X?
Still Has Potential
The rapid improvements after launch seem to have been stopped dead by implementing liquid glass and working on other apps, which is a shame. There's still a lot of room for improvement here: more font and display options would be welcome, article search and image viewing need some work, and often Bluesky posts don't display attached links/media at all.

If all you want is a timeline of intermingled feeds
Originally Reeder allowed each feed to be viewed independently. I prefer that approach because I like scanning articles within a context rather than the firehose of everything all at once.
Over time Reeder has shifted to a preference of the timeline view of intermingled feeds. But I could always find a way to view each feed’s timeline in isolation. Recently that has been taken away and there is only the combined feed timeline.
Not for me. I’m switching to NetNewsWire. Choices are good and I’m glad we have them.

Can’t filter out words in the main feed, which would be great

Great newsreader
You should get it. I really dig this app. About the only thing I wish they’d add is the ability to reorder our collections in the sidebar.
Limited UI customization
Buttery smooth like Reeder Classic, but extremely limited in UI customization and features. I can’t use the app like this. I need more basic customization options and basic features.
Can’t import RSS API
If you were planning on using this app to view your RSS API, don’t bother. Not a capability apparently. Deleting.
The best
Just the best app to follow news. Beautifully designed.
Version 2026.3
There is a bug when you try to use cmd + v to paste the url when adding feed, it will just close the popup. Has to use mouse right click to paste the url instead.
I’m glad Reeder exists
RSS feeds are dying and Feedly looks very poorly built. Reeder makes everything soothing to read, it feels like someone built this with so much love. I’m glad they’re charging a subscription now - because hopefully this app can now remain active longer!
Love but annoying
Beautiful app. Weird usability things, though. Like, the feed is too sensitive to scroll without activating an article.
A novel take on RSS
Reeder is amazing. I loved the original version, and I think I love the new one even more. The app takes some getting used to for RSS users used to typical unread counts, but once you do, it just feels normal. Like scrolling social media. There’s no pressure to finish — just a little number telling you how many articles there are left until you’re caught up. (And if you don’t want that, you can disable it.) The iCloud Sync is bulletproof. You can stop scrolling on your Mac, take your iPhone out, and it’ll keep you right where you left off. Truly a brilliant app and worth every penny.

Nicht alles verbessert
Gegenüber dem Reeder 5 (heute Classic) hat sich nicht alles verbessert. Ich persönlich vermisse irgendwie die Funktion „Alles als gelesen markieren“ und dass die Timeline eines von mir erstellten Ordners beim Öffnen nicht immer automatisch auf die neueste Mitteilung springt und mich so entweder zum scrollen oder mehrfachen Klicken zwingt, fühlt sich mühselig an. Zu guter Letzt würde ich gerne noch die Ordner nach meiner eigenen Reihenfolge sortieren können, da ich immer gerne von den anstrengendsten zu den schönsten Nachrichten lese. Dann wäre das schon ein Top-Reeder und wäre mir den 5. Stern wert. Leider sollte man auch wissen, dass dieser jetzt auch ab einem gewissen Punkt Geld kostet. Aber nun. Qualität hat nun mal heute seinen Preis und man merkt an sehr vielen Stellen, dass sich hier richtig Mühe gegeben wurde.

Perfect (except it’s not an RSS reader)
This app is infuriating because it has great features, basically perfect design, a very reasonable subscription price, and ideal privacy practices, but it is unusable because there is no way to mark an article as “read.”
Feels Half-Baked, Missing Features
As a long time Reeder user I figured it was time to download Reeder 2 and give it a test. I assumed that most of the option from the original app would be available in the new and improved app, but was left sorely disappointed.
Control over the headlines size and preview length is MIA, meaning I can now only see 7 stories at a time as opposed to 15 on the old app. That’s if there are no photos included, which for some reason display full width in the preview menu sometimes.
There’s also zero indication of if a story is read or not. I don’t need a red badge, but some way of knowing if I’ve read something before would be helpful as someone with +20 feeds who can sometimes only catch up once or twice a day.
Finally, the new horizontal slideover animation when switching stories feels much slower than the previous app’s vertical switch to the next story.
Either way, I paid for a yearly subscription to support the developer (Reeder 1.0 is one of my most used apps) so I hope improvements come over time.
