User reviews
Users generally appreciate the app's intuitive design, responsive developer support, and capability to manually manage RSS feeds and podcasts. Premium features are valued for ad removal and customization. However, common complaints include frequent crashes, problematic ad behavior with intrusive full-screen ads, bugs affecting downloads and playback, and some desirable features locked behind additional payments. While the app serves as a solid alternative to other RSS and podcast apps, persistent bugs and ad issues detract from the experience for many users.
Pros
- Intuitive and easy-to-use interface with good customization options.
- Does not automatically mark articles as read, allowing manual management of feeds.
- Developer is very responsive and provides good customer support with fast issue resolution.
- Premium subscription offers useful features and is reasonably priced to remove ads.
- Supports manual addition of RSS feeds and functions well as a podcast player replacement.
Cons
- App has issues with crashes and bugs, including download cancellations and playback problems with podcasts.
- Ad experience has deteriorated, with intrusive full-screen and unclosable ads frustrating users.
- Some features are behind multiple paywalls, with basic functions like color control and sorting missing.
- Playback glitches such as inability to replay finished podcasts and forced auto-skipping.
- Occasional instability in marking articles as read and when switching between read/unread tabs.

Fantastic RSS Reader. Can't seem to get notifications to work, but that is a user error I believe. Love the format and the ease of use. Very intuitive. This has completely changed how (and when and if) I consume news.
