### 3/5 — The app loads headlines only

*2022-04-14, version 2.0.0*

The body does not render. Sometimes you get an image with the headline.

### 3/5 — Perfect except for delete

*2021-05-10, version 2.0.0*

Why ask for confirmation for deleting an article? It is a perfect app except for that one fault

### 2/5 — simple but useless

*2020-05-02*

i like the simplicity of this reader. No banners, no big pictures. But there is no way to go to the source of news either. And without details it is useless.

### 5/5 — Need notifications

*2018-10-22*

This might be the only RSS feed which has filtering! Please add notifications for folders when new items are available!

### 5/5 — Информирование отфильтрованных слов

*2015-02-05*

Сделайте информирование при поступлении новости настроенной по фильтру. Например звуковой сигнал или вибрацию

### 5/5 — Best RSS reader for iPad

*2014-11-30, version 1.5.1*

This is the best RSS/Atom feed reader I could find in the store. There is no annoying advertising and no need to sign up or sign into a social media account. It just displays feeds.

The screens are simple and clear and very easy to use/navigate. You can create a folder structure if you have many feeds which I do. Has built in browser to see full articles so no jumping to Safari. Works on my old iPad (iOS 5) and runs quickly. I would have paid for this app.

### 4/5 — Close to a 5

*2014-06-14*

Now my preferred reader. Easy to use but a little confusing to add feeds. Unread first rule not always followed. But it doesn't constantly crash like Newsify.

### 5/5 — Отличная читалка

*2013-11-24*

Программа очень хороша, интуитивно простая. Перепробовал около 20 читалрк rss, лучше этой не нашел, без глюков и тормозов! Честно, рекомендую!!

### 5/5 — Хорошо

*2013-11-06*

Отличное приложение. Наконец-то хоть кто-то реализовал возможность фильтрации в rss! После того как всё настроил, ощущаю себя медиамагнатом :) Пожалуйста, не бросайте приложение. Функция "спрятать прочитанные" работает некорректно.

### 3/5 — Good but needs work

*2013-10-26*

This RSS news reader is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch.. but it needs work. This app doesn't remember certain settings, such as "Hide Read", "Unread First", etc. This failure alone makes this app difficult to use in long lists of mostly read items because it causes the user to scroll unnecessarily. Resolving this bug would make this the best RSS feed reader in the App Store.
