Truly the best app. All the other rss feeds including feebly and KOReader aren't as smooth and eye pleasing as this while having the same functionalities. This app lacks literally nothing. App is underrated af.

One of the best RSS reader apps I've ever used. The ability to organize my feeds into different folders is really nice. The AI summary feature is also nice. Unfortunately, the audio option does not work, and I wish that it would make articles that I've read look different in the feed so that I know that I've read them. I did pay for premium because it is NOT a subscription, just a one-time $20. That's rare in 2025!

This app is amazing for what it is. Could be a bit better if the scrolling didn't feel so sensitive and the swipe actions on the list view was easier to use. I find myself using Capy Reader when I really want to read something and Smart RSS when I need to summarize and trim down my unread articles.

App won't let you connect your remote rss server without paying, there's no trial or option to pay a small amount for a short-time access. Just one lifetime payment.
