★★★★★
Great, simple, free and ad-free (!) RSS reader. Really can't fault it. Would love an option for a serif based article font though
★★★★★
Is fast and simple, great! Wishlist: - enable starting with feeds overview instead of directly showing entries from all feeds, so specific feed can quickly be clicked at start. - back button when feed entries are shown leaves the app, would be great to go to feed overview in this case (back button setting). - The font of feed entries is a bit big for my taste and is not resized with font setting. - when specific feed is selected, could the feed name, and it's icon be removed from every entry?
★★★★★
If RSS is not available it could just upload the feed from (chosen) social media accounts. Otherwise, it's a good customizable news app.
★★☆☆☆
Love the simple interface, but 80% of the feeds I've added are broken. Maybe RSS is just not maintained anymore, but these are presented in the app when you search for keywords so those need to be cleaned up for the app to be usable.
★★☆☆☆
I really WANTED to like this app, because I was specifically looking for open-source ad-free options. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to pull data from any feed not already in its database, and even those seem spotty. I tried to look up support info, but the repo has been archived, and the app has been abandoned, so all I know is that this is a very common problem. Even if it were working, the interface is vague and clumsy, and it doesn't check the feed before adding a URL. Can't recommend :(
★★☆☆☆
Couldn't load the half of the feeds, stucks when you tru to go back from the article page back to the feed
★★☆☆☆
Lot good but several serious issues. Does not refresh on open despite setting. Once refreshed new articles can not be seen until you change list views (new/all/back again). Usually fails to show content in reader view. No toolbar in browser view so disjointed using OS back button at bottom then app back button at top to return to list. Big bright-colored squares next to every article is largely pointless and needs option to hide. Sometimes a feed is full of spam ad links.
