## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-04-20*

Two days ago it stopped updating No other way to give feedback except here in Apple review

**Developer response:** It should update automatically, but if you’re not seeing new articles you can try pulling to refresh. If that doesn’t work, please reach out at https://wirereader.app/contact-us/ and we can take a look.

### 1/5 — Paid subscription

*2024-03-21*

1 star due to previously free features being placed behind a paywall.

**Developer response:** Thanks for using the app and sorry for your disappointment. You can still subscribe to 10 feeds for free and we offer a 7 day trial beyond that. In order to keep supporting the app, I needed to get it at least to break even.

### 1/5 — No RSS support

*2023-02-03*

Doesn’t work with .RSS files. I got three I’m trying to use and this app just says there’s no new content. Unusable.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I have tested with RSS files and it should work. It might take a little while to see updates though. We try not to overwhelm the web host with too many requests, so there is a limit to how frequently we check for updates.

### 2/5 — If it weren’t for the subscription based

*2024-07-18*

This would actually be a nice solution. But now that it restricts the number of feed you can add without a subscription, that makes the app useless if you are heavy readers. Developer should just consider a one off unlock option for such low maintenance required app

**Developer response:** Thanks for using Wire! The syncing infrastructure is an ongoing cost for me, so I require a modest fee to cover my bills.

### 3/5 — Unable to import opml from anywhere

*2023-09-17*

Says invalid or missing XML document

### 5/5 — Someone explain

*2024-01-18*

Idk

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-11-11*

I like this app it’s.
