I find I rarely want to use this app anymore because of this bug - before the bug I would use it all day to catch up on news. Other than this NEW bug the app is great. Original review: Since the last update After clicking an article, the feed stays highlighted as if I never clicked/read it - plus - when I refresh my feeds, I'm getting duplicates! Other than that, I enloy this app! ### 3/5 — Feeds don't update *2023-11-12* Since the last update After clicking an article, the feed stays highlighted as if I never clicked/read it - plus - when I refresh my feeds, I'm getting duplicates! Other than that, I enloy this app! ### 4/5 — Needs some improvement *2022-08-25, version 5.9* It’s good, but an ad blocker is needed and maybe a tool to marks on text will be very nice ### 2/5 — Nie pobiera całego wpisu *2022-07-01, version 5.7* Zamiast wpisu pobiera tylko wstęp do niego ### 4/5 — An excellent app for RSS *2020-08-04* Exactly what one needs for feeds; no fluff, just a workhorse. Good work! ### 4/5 — Dark theme *2020-08-02, version 5.3* Nice dark theme! But how I can switch to previous light? ### 3/5 — Good but buggy *2020-01-31* I like that the app is free and contain most of the functions I need. However, it’s fairly rough and a bit buggy. The editing of feed title resets unless one use the done button which closed the keyboard and moves the input box, strongly disrupting the work flow. The adding feed box does not close after the confirmation popup is closed. The read all confirmation has a bold yes and a normal yes instead of a yes and a no. Adding a feed also doesn’t automatically get it even though auto update is enabled. ### 4/5 — Needs iCloud sync *2018-11-24, version 5.2* XFeed should keep its control file(s) in iCloud so that everything is sync’ed across my multiple devices. As it is today, I have to manage three separate instances of XFeed. ### 3/5 — It's great and free *2018-11-17* My only complaint is with the categories being mandatory, and no option to turn off prompts to delete entire article lists. It also handles keyboard strokes in app poorly. Still better than most in its simplicity and design which do RSS how it should without all the frills and nonsense. Stay 7+ compatible, champ. ### 4/5 — Very good RSS Reader *2017-01-02, version 5.1* I have tried various RSS reader and this one is my favorite one. Easy to use. Good design. ### 4/5 — Ios 10.01 *2016-09-14, version 4.3* Do not updating information in IOS 10.0.1. (Swap down not worked any more) Bug that makes this beautiful soft useless. ### 4/5 — Update feeds *2016-09-02, version 4.3* Works very well, except the feeds are not updating ... and currently need to be updated manually. (iPad Air 2) ### 3/5 — Gefällt mir persönlich ausgezeichnet, aber ... *2016-07-03, version 4.3* Ihr müsst dringend die Zeichensätze in Ordnung bringen! Ä,Ü, Ö und ß fänd ich für den Anfang schon ganz klasse. Danke. Und dann gibts auch mehr Sterne. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-06-11, version 4.3* A simple but efficient tool!!! ### 5/5 — I would pay for this rss reader app! *2016-04-02, version 4.3* Perfect rss app. It displays feeds beautifully. It can email items. An exceptionally yet simple rss feed app. And it found and shows all Maine.Info feeds. Please keep it in the App Store! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice UI, simple but needs tweaks *2024-03-16* I've been using this app for as long as it's been on the store, so I know all the changes its gone through. I love it, but during that time I never used it without being jailbroken, and now I realize a few things that really can just go. UI spin animation - can it. Your slide is fine. Extra categories - keep it optional. Confirmations yes/no - option it. I don't need to confirm twice to clear the page of entries. Feed icons - keep the url or add the https:// already. Adjustable text/row sizes (need more options) Allow safari's extension support - too many ads are not blocked *more to come ### 1/5 — New version still broken *2021-04-24* The crashing is fixed when launching the app, but now it crashes when trying to add a feed. ### 1/5 — Google map xfeed link not rerouting *2020-08-13* Had iPhone 6s worked well upgraded to iPhone 11 google address links not working with my new phone with xfeed. Need app update please. ### 1/5 — Crash! *2019-03-11, version 5.2* Crashed 3 times while adding RSS feed ### 1/5 — doesn't support atom *2016-08-26, version 4.3* cannot parse atom feeds, fails silently without any output. ### 1/5 — Obnoxious ads *2015-12-18, version 4.3* Well the app version I am using has ads, obnoxious ones including climate change deniers and others. It is too bad really, as it is a simple, easy to use, reader. I don't mind them supporting themselves with advertising, but they have to have some way to make sure they are responsible. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-10-27, version 4.2* Useless, no longer has refresh button. Was great app once, now nbc. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2014-06-14, version 4.01* Does not put feeds in alphabetical order. Will accept some feeds but indicates others can only be viewed on iPhone, not iPad. ### 1/5 — App still closes immediately on iPad2 with iOS5... 😭 *2013-07-14, version 4.01* App still closes immediately on iPad2 with iOS5... 😭 It worked fine until 2 releases ago. Could you please fix it soon ? Thanks. Regards ### 1/5 — Twitter *2013-06-22, version 4.01* Unfortunately lacks Twitter and FaceBook interface ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best iOS feed reader *2025-04-24* Simple clean interface. Blessed author has mercy on the users! ### 5/5 — svz *2024-09-05, version 5.14* Стал заметно быстрее ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2021-11-02, version 5.5* I’ve only just installed it on my iPhone. Recently I’ve installed and tested at least half dozen TSS feed Apps, this one is by far the best. ### 5/5 — Ça remarche avec IOS 12 *2021-04-22, version 5.5* Très bon lecteur RSS. ### 5/5 — zweimal yes *2019-02-08, version 5.2* Mega App, außer das bei „Make all articles as read“ zweimal yes kommt. ### 5/5 — Einfach gut und kostenlos dazu👍 *2019-01-07, version 5.2* Während die Konkurrenz richtig Geld verlangt, ohne dabei wirklich einen Mehrwert zu bieten, bekommt man hier eine App mit dem worauf es ankommt. RSS feeds zu lesen und übersichtlich aufzulisten. Punkt. Daumen hoch 👍 ### 5/5 — Sehr gut ! *2018-05-22, version 5.1* So sollte ein Rss-Reader sein... ### 5/5 — That’s how a RSS reader should work *2018-05-14, version 5.1* The best and yet minimal RSS reader I found. Sparing all those things like 'fancy suggestions' and stuff you don’t need - but greatly does it job on serving RSS feeds even with poor mobile connections. ### 5/5 — Nice simple rss reader *2017-09-23* Its an rss feed without adds. I love the simplicity! ### 5/5 — Best RSS reader *2016-11-04, version 5.1* Clear, clean, simple RSS reader. No ads, nothing annoying.
