Thank you

Very disappointed so far.

Unable to delete or removed read or unneeded articles. I’ll keep working with it but other than the ability to increase text size I see a little or no improvement in this version. I’ve been using Reeder for years and I’m very disappointed. This version introduces several new features which I have no interested in such as timeline

現代的なRSSリーダー

最近になってNetNewsWireから切り替えました。NetNewsWireもRSSの原理原則に忠実で魅力的なアプリなのですが、Reederはニュースサイトなどの他にもYouTubeやポッドキャストを購読できるのが素晴らしい。無料版には10個までしか登録できない制限があるものの、それを補って余りある良さがあります。

Incompatibilité Eurosky

Très belle application, bien pratique. Ayant migré mon compte Bluesky vers Eurosky, j’ai malheureusement dû me désabonner car il est impossible de connecter un compte depuis ce réseau.

I love the new direction

Reeder has been my RSS app of choice since version 1 but now it’s also the only social media app on my phone and its replaced my use of YouTube entirely. With a couple of tweaks could one day replace my podcast app too. Very well done!

Slick looking but impossible to delete articles

Very slick, but it is simply impossible to delete a read item in a feed… how can you manage what You’ve read then?

前のバージョンより進化している。

情報収集ツールとしての活用を考えたときに、以前よりも使い勝手が劇的に進化していて、ものすごく、私の用途にはまったものになった。いろいろな情報を収集して行くツールとしては、完成度がたかいと思う。使い方しだいでは、かなり重宝する人もいるのではないかと思う。

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.

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.

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?
