A perfect RSS reader for me

I landed on Unread after trying a number of RSS readers out there. There are lot of features that are provided - some more that I hope will come (font customization) - such as sync options, shortcuts/gestures. Most importantly, the fast feed updates, icloud syncs work in favour of this app. I also have been able to get responses from the dev for problems and on suggestions too. look forward to a long relationship with unread. Finally I am very happy that the app has regional pricing parity which makes it affordable though it (unfortunately) is a subscription mode.

great app, lovely developer

after years of being on Reeder I somehow discovered this app that solved a lot of the little needs I had and some that I didn’t realise such as full article loading (with login credentials for paywalls) and the link+article support/view

Sharing selected text exactly what I was looking for 👊🏽

Wish I’d known this app existed before since I was looking for a way to share the highlighted text with the article and I just couldn’t find any app that did that in fact I was even thinking of writing my own until I stumbled across Unread 👍🏼

And shoutout for loading full articles whether from a link post or otherwise. After years of using Reeder I hadn’t realised how much of a boon this would be.

One of my favorite apps!

Fantastic tool for those that love a good long read! Between this and Raindrop.io, I’m set!

Excellent RSS Reader

I’m using Inoreader as my RSS backend and Unread as my frontend. It has a really nice, clean interface, it works and syncs great across MacOS/iPadOS/iOS, and has some really nice little features like letting you log into paywalled sites where you have an account.

Superb RSS reader

I’ve used a number of RSS readers over the years in the search for one that was powerful and flexible in its feature set. Unread is the app which really does this.

Importantly, it has support for iOS and the iPad allowing you to track your reading of items across multiple devices. It can also pull in full feeds from sites like The Verge and Ars Technica where you may have a login.

Best of all it offers quite a bit of flexibility in the presentation of feed items which means that you can get things looking as you wish. If you subscribe you get incredibly responsive support responses from John as well as some really nice additional features.

Gut und schlecht

Die App an sich ist gut, aber es gibt einige Macken die bei der Nutzung extrem stören. Zum einen ist das UI extrem kontrastarm. Nur mit sehr großer Schrift ist alles noch gut zu lesen. Bei jedem teilen von Inhalten in andere Apps werden Tastatureinstellungen verändert und auf eine englische Tastatur erweitert. Das nervt extrem. Außerdem muss man bei jedem Teilen von Inhalten auf dem iPad diesen „Einsetzen erlauben“ Wahnhinweis anklicken. Was man anklickt ist dabei egal. Er erscheint immer wieder, jeden Tag aufs neue.

RSS Feed reading made easy

Down 1 star from my first review from 3 years ago. Still the best RSS Feed Reader IMO. But it could really do with article filters based on keywords - in titles if nowhere else. Every year I get at least 2 weeks of almost nothing but “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” sales pitches.

The Bear of RSS readers!

The Bear Note app is known for its wonderful UX, and Unread meets that definition for me.

Needs Simplifying

Difficult to Figure Out Setup

Minimalistic yet elegant

Unread is really fantastic for its use case. The UI is very minimal, clean which is easy on the eyes while reading articles. It supports login with a few reputed RSS apps which is an advantage. I would love to have a notification feauture too.

Website Accounts feature: game changer

I just came back to Unread from a couple of years with Reeder Classic because of the promise of Website Accounts. I subscribe to The Economist which only shows partial content in its RSS feed, forcing you to click through to the website in Safari. Now Unread can save your login and extract the full text of the target page, meaning I can read continuously in a single app. Very polished and convenient, well done dev!

Please update custom app icons to match dark mode

Only the main app icon adapts, but I dislike the red badge looking icon and I‘d like the theme color to match the icon.

Could maybe at the least the alternative icons with a dark background match the dark mode icon background? That slight gray tone difference is driving me insane on my main Home Screen.

In general I really love the app.

Miniflux Support

I hope to support miniflux instances, although the fever api can indirectly support miniflux, but fever does not support slide read, and also in the phasing out, the official are not recommended.

Good replacement for Reeder

Reeder Classic has started having issues with Newsblur, but this RSS reader is SOLID. Only thing I’d like is the ability to remap keyboard shortcuts.

Great app!

Great UI, easy to use, very responsive. Highly recommend for RSS users.
