Not working

Feedly

Feedly not working cause of https error

Cannot log in to Feedly cause of an https error message. Seems to be outdated for years

It literally won't work.

I downloaded this broken app to use as a Feedly reader. It suffers a crash every time I select 'Feedly' as the source, and it simply does not work. Today it gave me a popup to upgrade to Pro for only 2.99 / month! What a deal! So I deleted the app. One star is very generous. This app provides the literal same amount of access to news RSS feeds as Pokemon Go. However, Pokemon Go made zero claims to ever provide this service, so they have an excuse.

It show error message: must to use https

Does it mean we used unencrypted http protocol to login before?
