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.

Had to abandon after years
I couldn’t use the new version. I sent multiple requests to support for assistance and never received a reply back so just gave up. After years of using the older reeder I wanted to use this new one and I can’t even see a way to simply pull the feed and show one line per entry. I always get a preview despite searching for a way to turn it off.
Some feeds I’ve used it says it can’t find when putting the entry to pull it despite other feed apps finding it just fine.
I’m so used to using this so having to give up on it is disappointing but I wish the developer well and hope others can figure it out.

Love it
Get off social media, and choose your own news. Reeder is really the best app to do that. Love the new timeline centric design.
Loss of third party feed support
I have used and paid for Reeder for various versions and upgrades, and is one of the best reading experiences, hands down, on iPad and the Mac. However, the removal of any third-party feed service has killed this app for me. I tried to move feeds over and then stopped - just wasn’t worth my time when other readers exist, and I’d lose web view functionality if i did it. You should know going into this that that support that existed in prior versions was dropped for this rebirth version, and it wasn’t clear that it’s iCloud only. I don’t want to move all my feeds from feedbin etc. Into an iCloud-only sync app, limiting where I can view those feeds and on what devices. A shame this happened, maybe understandable to simplify support, but further closes an open standard into a closed one. So long old friend.

Great Ad Free experience
I love this latest version of Reeder. I came from reeder classic and the fact I can combine all my YouTube, podcasts and feeds into one is a plus and there are no ads with YouTube videos. ( some youtube channel does have issue with this but most are just fine). Please keep up the good work and continue to improve this app. Thank you

Step backwards
No longer supports self hosted fever server. Big regression in functionality from Reeder classic
Browser extension does not work
I have not tried to install this extension on Chrome so I can’t speak on that. I use Arc browser and I followed the instructions on the repo and the extension still does not work. I tried finding the devs email but found nothing, so sorry for having to leave a review but I need assistance with this.
Thanks.
Thanks.

was hoping for more
I have been using the Reeder (Classic?) prior version for years and really like the fine tuning and personalization features that don’t seem to be available in the newer version. A step forward in being able to read social media feeds but a step back on tweaking my feeds to fit my preferences.
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.

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.
