Description
Simple & Private RSS Reader
Elytra is a privacy focused RSS Feed reader. 

Elytra is the first Feed Reader on iOS & macOS to bring native text & image rendering to the Article Reader. It’s fully featured, customizable and ever evolving.

An active subscription is required to use the app (14-days free trial)

PRIVATE: Your account is automatically setup and is completely private. No passwords to remember. Elytra does not collect any personal information from you. 

PRIVACY: Elytra strips out all tracking scripts and tracking pixels from articles to ensure your reading habits are always kept private. 

MODERN FEED FORMATS: Elytra supports both XML and JSON feed formats.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS: Get real-time updates from your favorite blogs which support the WebSub protocol. 

LOCAL NOTIFICATIONS: Get near real-time updates from blogs which do not support push notifications.

LOCAL BOOKMARKS: All your bookmarks are locally available to read and refer even when you’re offline. 

NATIVE RENDERING: Elytra renders articles using native features of iOS to bring inclusive features like Dynamic Type, Voice Over for Accessibility and reduce usage of tracking scripts.

IMAGE LOADING: Elytra provides various image loading options so you can save on mobile bandwidth and load images you deem necessary. 

SYNC: Elytra supports cross-device sync using its API. Access your feeds on your iOS Devices, Mac devices as well as in the browser. 

SEARCH: Search for a feed, then an article and then snippets within the article. Elytra is the first RSS Reader to support search within articles. 

APPEARANCE: Elytra supports both Light and Dark themes. You can choose between various Serif and Sans-Serif fonts or even custom fonts you have installed on your device.

LINKED HEADERS: When the Article Author goes through the trouble of linking headers with IDs, it only makes sense that Elytra enables you to share direct sections with your friends & family.

MUTE FILTERS: Clean up your feeds from unwanted topics, spoilers, and noise.

WIDGETS: Elytra supports four unique widgets across all platforms to bring your favourite feeds and updates to your homescreen.

Not Private

They’ve mentioned “private” and “privacy” so many times in the app description, and yet the app collects data according to the privacy label. That all one needs to know about how well this app will work.

Can’t use. Stole my money.

This app has not worked since the day after I downloaded it. How can you keep updating the app and not fix the crashing and bugs

Poor developer but great design

The dev is awful for shipping and then charging for an app that has so much bugs. I would not even advise you try your luck to see if the app would work for you, instead take a look at reeder as they are much more polished.

Can’t use. Stole my money.

I had this app months ago and it worked for a little while but then started crashing upon launch so I uninstalled. I decided to reinstall last week or so and I paid the subscription, it worked for a day, and now it’s crashing upon launch.

Unstable

Went to hit refresh for the first time, and the app quits immediately. Ventura 13.2.1, few other UI bugs.

OPML won't import, sync broke

Looked like a promising app. But on iOS it would not recognize my OPML file (other RSS readers did). And on Mac the OPML import produced a "400: bad request". Seems like the app is terribly broken. Do NOT recommend to anyone.

Great idea….

but needs work. Running the latest app I had a hard time creating an account like noted in prior reviews. I had to force close the app multiple times and somehow was able to finally get logged in. Added 1st rss feed that I use daily in my other reader and this app just did circles like it was thinking and got stuck. I force closed the app again. Eventually was able to add one feed and the generated thumbnails looked all blurry. App deleted.
