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.
Major improvements to the app, multiple bug fixes, and more coming soon... - Fixed bug where local feed preferences were sometimes overwritten during sync. - Fixed a bug where the app would sometimes crash when syncing the background. - Fixed a bug where the sync progress bar would immediately dismiss after sync completed. It now shows the completed state for a second before resetting its state. - Fixed opening article in standalone window on iPadOS
